Levelling and removing of Earth done by Applicants.
16. The foregoing charges are in addition to any
sums that may be paid for grants of exclusive right
of burial. They do not include payment for any
work required to be done beyond the actual digging
of an ordinary grave, and, after the interment, filling
in the same. Persons who have purchased the right
to fence in parcels of ground must do all levelling
required at their own cost, and only on approval of
the Trustees, and must at once remove from the
cemetery all earth and rubbish not required. If not
removed when required by the Trustees, they may
cause the said earth and rubbish to be removed, and,
if necessary, recover the costs and charges for the
same in a summary manner in any Resident Magis-
trate's Court having jurisdiction in the district, or
before any two or more Justices of the Peace.

17. The burial-warrant, when signed, shall be given
by the party having the management of the funeral
to the Sexton, and shall be sufficient authority for
the interment.

before Interment.
18. Burial-warrants must be given to the Sexton
at least eight working hours prior to the time
fixed for the funeral, otherwise an extra fee of 5s.

without the above notice of eight hours.

Time of Funerals.
19. Until otherwise ordered, funerals will only be
allowed between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.,
except on Sundays, when the hours will be from 2
to 5 in the afternoon.

in the cemetery may in certain cases be remitted, on

fees, and that no person is to be found who is liable
for the payment of the same.

Fences, Headstones, &c., to be kept in Repair by
Surviving Owner.
22. All fences, enclosures, tombstones, headstones,

Trustees.

Vaults.
23. Persons purchasing the exclusive right of burial
in perpetuity in any plot of ground in the cemetery
may, by permission of the Trustees, excavate the
same within 1 foot of their outside boundaries for
the purpose of constructing a vault. Before any
work is commenced towards the construction of any
vault, the plan and specification of the work con-
nected therewith shall be submitted to the Trustees
for approval, and no work shall be commenced until
such approval has been obtained.

Construction of Vaults.
24. All vaults shall be lined throughout with brick-
work or concrete, and covered in with arched brick-
work, concrete, or stone set in cement. The depth,
length, and breadth of the vaults shall be according
to agreement with the Trustees. The entrance to
the vault shall be either by a stone at the top or an
iron door. In all cases entrances shall be securely
fastened, and all work done to the satisfaction of the
Trustees.

Coffins for Vaults.
25. Coffins for vaults must be lined with lead or
other approved metal, to be firmly and securely
soldered. Coffins may be laid in vaults, and covered
in with concrete or cement, so as to prevent the
escape of any noxious vapour.

Labour, &c., to be approved by Trustees.
26. All labour, materials, and tools required for
constructing vaults, or for excavating for vaults,
must be provided by the parties applying for the
same.

Work, &c., of reopening Vaults to be approved by
Trustees.
27. All labour, materials, and tools required for re-
opening vaults for interments, and for reclosing the
same, must be provided by the party owning the
vault, and must be approved by the Trustees.

Vaults must be kept in Repair by Surviving Owner.
28. All vaults must be kept in proper order and
repair by the surviving owner. If at any time they
become out of proper order and repair, the Trustees
may give the owner fourteen days' notice to repair
the same, by leaving such notice at the last known
place of abode of the owner or his agent. If the
address of the owner or his agent is not known, or if
the owner fails to do or cause to be done the required
repairs within the fourteen days above mentioned,
the Trustees may at any time cause all such necessary
repairs to be done, and no interment shall thereafter
be allowed in such vault until all costs and charges of
such repairs have been paid to the Trustees.

Earth and Rubbish to be removed by Applicants.
29. All earth and rubbish thrown out when exca-
vating for vaults must be removed by the person who
applies for permission to construct such vault. If
not at once removed when required by the Trustees,
they may cause the said earth and rubbish to be
removed, and the cost and charges of so doing may
be recovered from the person applying for permission
to construct such vault.

No Interment to take place in Vaults without
Warrant.
30. No interment shall be permitted in any vault
until the party requiring to open such vault for in-
terment has obtained a burial-warrant, as provided
for ordinary burials, which warrant shall be sufficient
authority for the vault named therein to be opened.

All Charges and Fees to be paid in advance.
31. All charges made for any matter or thing con-
nected or relating to the cemetery shall be paid in
advance.

Fences may be removed.

Opotiki Cemetery previous to the 1st day of June,
1879, and whose surviving relatives and friends have,
previous to the above date, fenced in portions of
land round the graves of persons so interred, it is
hereby provided that, in all cases where the grant of
exclusive right of burial in perpetuity is not acquired,
it shall be lawful for the Trustees at any time to
