advisability of purchasing site and
building a head office building in

permit. According to the state law
no person may be buried without
proper authorities issue burial per-
nit; a body cannot be taken on a
train to another town for burial with
out a permit is secured; the sexton
is not supposed to allow a body to
be buried until after he has seen the
burial permit. This case looks like
a fragrant violation of the law" saiG
