"parish of Little Ilford, in the county of Essex, set apart for and build,
"provide, fit up, equip, and maintain a crematorium proper and sufficient
"for the cremation of human remains."
It will be noted that this Part of the Act is permissive. The Corporation
having decided to adopt it, plans have been prepared, which have been
approved by the Secretary of State, and tenders for the erection of a
Crematorium have been advertised for.
The Corporation will have to make Regulations for cremation, which
must be submitted for the approval of a Secretary of State.
On this question a Departmental Committee was appointed by the Home
Secretary on the 12th October last to prepare a draft of the Regulations to be
made by the Secretary of State in pursuance of the powers given him by
Section 7 of the Cremation Act, 1902, and any Regulations for cremation
made by the Corporation will have to be on the lines indicated by this
Committee.
Considerations of space prohibit the reproduction here of the draft Regulations
of the Cremation Committee, but their Report,* together with the
evidence laid before them, is a most interesting document, and well worth the
perusal of those interested in the subject.
* Report of the Cremation Committee. 1903. Published by the King's Printers.

removed by the Cleansing Department and destroyed as trade refuse at

The number of loads similarly dealt with in the years 1899, 1900 and 1901
were 452, 312 and 253 respectively.
