Report of Com^ee on Admission to Grounds _

Mr Nazro, for the Committee to whom
was referred the question whether any change is nec-
essary in the mode of admission at the gate,
either on week-days or Sundays, submitted their
report, of which the following is a copy.

"On the 5^th of July, 1853, a vote was
passed 'that the Gate-Keeper be permitted to
admit persons of respectable appearance and
demeanor to ride into the Cemetery without tickets
or permits until further orders'.

The 27^th article of the By- Laws provides that
'strangers from a distance, also persons having
business in the Cemetery, may be admitted with
carriages on presenting a note or ticket of admis-
sion signed by a Trustee or by the Secretary
or Treasurer,'

The same article also provides that 'Persons
having a relative or near friend interred there,
may enter the Cemetery on Sundays and Holidays,
on presenting a card of admission from a Trustee,
the Secretary or Treasurer.'

The By- Laws also contain a clause in
these words - 'The Trustees, however, may, from time
to time, pass such votes for the admission of
strangers and other non- proprietors, and under
such regulations as they may deem expedient';
and another whereby all votes and regulations
which had been previously passed and which were
incompatible with the present code of By Laws, should
be repealed.
