Bond given by the late Joseph Carew

The Secretary called the attention of the Board to the Bond given by Mr. Joseph Carew to the Corporation, under date of April 21^st, 1869, by virtue of which he was allowed to do work upon Lots at request of proprietors without first obtaining the customary permits from the Corporation, – with a view of ascertaining what action if any might be expedient on the part of the Trustees, in view of the recent decease of Mr. Carew. After discussion it was

Secretary to notify his business successors.

Voted, – that the Secretary be instructed to inform the parties, if any, who may be carrying on business as the Successors of the late Mr. Carew, that the privilege accorded to Mr. Carew upon his bond, with surety, of doing work in the Cemetery without obtaining permits was personal to himself and would not be construed as applicable to his Successors.
