prepared, shall be open for inspection to the public

case of persons applying for and taking out a burial-
warrant.

Burial-warrants to be issued.
15. In all cases of intended interment, the person
having the management or control of the same shall
apply for a burial-warrant to the Trustees or other

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

23. Persons purchasing the exclusive right of
burial in perpetuity in any plot of ground in the

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

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,

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.
