My Lord,
I have the honor to transmit an authenticated and two plain
copies of an Ordinance passed by the Legislative Council entitled—
An Ordinance to make general Regulations for the establishment
and management of Cemeteries in the Colony of British Columbia.

2. It is unnecessary that I should add any remarks to those
contained in the Attorney General's Report which is annexed. I
think the measure a desirable one.
Minutes by CO staff
Cemeteries Ordinance.
Sanction.
I should be disposed to observe with reference to section 15
that it is not convenient that a clause of this kind should be
inserted in each ordinance, and that such provisions should be
passed in a general Interpretation Ordinance somewhat similar to
the Imperial Act 13 & 14 V. c. 21 & thus made applicable to all
Legislation in the Colony.
