EXHUMATION AND RE-INTERMENT OF
BODIES.
St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery, Harrow Road.
During the year licences were granted by the Secretary
of State for the exhumation and removal of the bodies of
four persons from the catacombs or graves in St. Mary's
Cemetery.
One body was forthwith transported to Ireland for reinterment,
and three bodies were re-interred in St. Mary's
Cemetery, Harrow Road:
The following conditions were attached to the
licences:—
(1) That the removal be effected with due care and
attention to decency early in the morning.
(2) That freshly made ground lime be freely sprinkled
over the coffin, the soil, or any matter that may
be offensive.
In the case where the remains were removed to Ireland
it was required that they be contained in a lead-lined shell,
hermetically sealed.
The work of removal and re-interment was carried out
in accordance with the conditions and under the supervision
of the Sanitary Inspector on my behalf.
PUBLIC BATHS.
The Public Swimming Baths in Lime Grove and the
Open-air Swimming Bath in Bloemfontein Road, are provided
