MORTUARY.
The existing mortuary is situated within the grounds of
the Cemetery at Gap Road. The Council have now decided
011 the construction of a new and larger mortuary with a
modern post-mortem room attached. This work will be put
in hand in 1934. It was decided to erect the building on the
same site as the existing one in the Cemetery grounds. The
new mortuary will provide accommodation for at least eight
bodies.
From information received from the Superintendent of
the Cemetery there were one hundred and seven bodies
received into the existing mortuary during 1933. Postmortems
were conducted on sixty-seven bodies. This figure
is equivalent to 14.38 per cent, of the deaths registered as
occurring in the Borough.
