The Committee considered a proposal which had been referred to them for-

The erection of a Shelter for Funeral Parties and Quarters for the Sextons at Mount Davis

Cemetery. Estimated cost $1,700.

It was agreed that the Committee recommend that the matter be referred to the Honourable the Registrar General with a view to his approaching the Tung Wah Hospital Authorities for the purpose of getting them to raise the necessary funds, and erect the structure on a site to be granted by the Government, the building on completion to be handed over to the Government and to become an adjunct of the Cemetery.

The Committee then adjourned.
