The Board OF Health, to whom was referred the
communication of the City Registrar, relative to
intra mural lnterments, beg to submit tho fouow-
ing report: o;.,, co,ro1
on the h November, 1853, and referred TO
special committee, who made their hrst report on
the All, January, 1859. The discussion Oh inc SUP
iect H. Council, as well as by the community, n
the form Of memorials to Council, was oontnQeo as
from time time ulti the 21st June, 1859, when the
Ordinance which now regulates burlas within inc
CITY was passed. Since that time our city mas peen
peculiarly exempt from epidemic diseases anu
experience is to be taken as gtnde, IL ID hoI uI
a1,,lo hat ha
was perfected after such repeated discussion anu
40 careful consideration OF the SUBJECT, mas at.
famed the object in view, viz: the protectlon Of
the health Of the city against improper purias
with its limits.
The several churches having cemeteries within
the city have themselves placed certain restric.
tions upon burying IN their grounds when assist
In the executi IN of the Ordinance, ana IN ad9l@o1
to this numerous cemeteries have been estaDnshea
beyond the city limits by both whites ana cooleo'
some Of them of very recent date Since the open
inc of these grounds large rumber OF our pcopto
have provided themselves with lots In one or an.
other of them, and the Board is OF opinion thst
the tendency to continue doing 60 ls sucn that
burials within the city will have ceased long De
fore the time when, from the condition OF the
grounds, prchibitory Laws would be necessary.
With these views tho Board deem any further
legislation on the subject unnecessary at tnis
time. Respectfully submitted,
P. G. GAILLARD,
Mayor and Chairman Board Health.
