MORTUARY.
On the 15th October, 1903, the new Mortuary was
opened. Rules for the observance of persons using it
have been adopted.
This is a decided improvement, and marks a step
in the right direction.
Under the best conditions persons visiting such
places do not do so with a light heart, but the appearance
of the premises generally, and the sanitary
measures adopted, viz., viewing the bodies through a
glass screen, &c., is greatly appreciated, and reduces
the disagreeable and morbid feeling that would otherwise
exist, to a minimum.
Inquests are now held at the Town Hall, under
better conditions than hitherto.
