ST. MARY'S CHURCHYARD EXTENSION.
An application having been made by the Vicar of Leyton to
the Home Office for the extension of the Parish Churchyard to
include some of the adjoining land, the Local Government Board
held an enquiry on February 9th and the application was not
opposed by the Council. The Home Office sanctioned the extension,
but I do not know under what conditions they have done so.
On my applying to the Home Office for an excerpt from the permission
accorded to the Vicar of Leyton, they did not see their way to
grant me, as Medical Officer of Health to the Council, the desired
information.
