Company to determine their contract with the late Clapham
Burial Board, whereby it was provided that the sum of 30/- should

Burial Fees.
118.—During the year the Burials Committee has revised the burial
fees in the Council's various cemeteries, with the
object of making the fees in all the cemeteries of the
Borough uniform and inclusive. This work rendered necessary
frequent meetings of the Committee, the preparation of new plans
of the cemeteries, and, to some extent, the re-arrangement of the
ground. A table of Fees has been drawn up by the Committee
and adopted by the Council, and is now under the consideration of
the Local Government Board.
