BOARD OF TRUSTEES : HON. WM. McMASTER, Chairman. JAMES LESSLIE, ESQ. A. T. McCORD, ESQ. JOHN PATERSON, ESQ. ROBERT WALKER, ESQ. JAMES MICHIE, ESQ. ROBERT WILKES, ESQ. W. F. McMASTER, Sectetary- Treasurer. GENERAL REMARKS Mount Pleasant Cemetery is located on Yonge Street, 2>^ miles from the centre of the city and i^ miles from the northern termin- ation of the Street Railway. It is expected that in a short time the street cars will run as far as the Cemetery ; and it is contemplated to erect a Telegraph office on the grounds for the accommodation of lot- owners, and others. The location has been selected by tlie Trustees after a careful and extensive examination of all available lands in the vicinity of Toronto— and taking- into consideration, the short distance from the city, facility of access by good roads, and natural advantages, the Trustee's consider that they have been fortunate in securing it. The Cemetery, at present, contains 200 acres, and will be en- larged in the course of time,— the nature and surface of the ground well adapt it for burial, in either graves or vaults. Plans were procured in 1874, and actual working operations were commenced in the spring of 1875, so that the first 65 acres will be in proper condition for burial purposes in July 1876. The work of grading the first sixty-five acres, involving an im- mense amount of labor, is all but completed, and has been prose- cuted with a constant regard to beauty, n* well as utility. Substantial roads are being constructed, which, in all seasons, will furnish visitor's an easy and pleasant drive to all pans of the grounds. Commodious and inviting foot-paths wind around every hill, and explore each dale and shady nook, whence crystal springs bubble forth into beautiful streams. The waters of Spring Creek have been dammed up in several places, and Cascades, Lakes, and Ponds have been formed with rus- tic bndges leading over them ; and what was once a rough and im- passable ravine bears now the impress of art, and can be visited by persons either in carriages or on foot. The Cemetery, at present, is entered only from Yonge Street ; but as soon as is required, an entrance will also be made at the eastern extremity of the grounds, from the 2nd concession line in the Town- ship of York. The woods at present in the rear of the improved portion will soon be laid out in park-like manner according"to the main plan— .1 the improvements thus completed will afford the visitor additiorial attractions. When the woods and ravine in the eastern part shall have been artificially improved, a drive of twelve miles in extent will be afforded in and around the Cemetery— the scenery being so varied as to assume a different aspect at every step. A large receiving tomb has been constructed this summer ; also the necessary fencing. To erect a ])ublic Mausoleum for permanent interment, is also contemplated. The tomb will be furnished with compartments, affordmg separate intermen* for each body, with marble tablets on which may be inscribed the name and age of the person interred. Mount Pleasant, on account of its proximity to the city, and facility of access therefrom— on account of its entire surface being available for purposes of interment,~on account of the extent and beauty of its native and varied forest growth— and of the beauty of the surrounding landscape will, the Trustees are assured, amply repay them for all the labor and the difficulties connected with the inauguration and carrying out of the work up to the present time, and they hope to its entire completion. With the result of their labors thus far, as exhibited in the irnprovements already made, the Trustees hope that the commu- nity, for whose benefit it was designed, will feel satisfied ; and that they will appreciate this laudable enterprise. It may be ques- tioned whether any other place of burial in Toronto has awakened an interest as deep and wide— an interest manifested, not only in the rapidly increasing demands for lots and graves but also in the num- bers who visit the Cemetery from week to week. During the past few years— since the other places of burial vested in the Trustees were established, a great change has taken place in the public sentiment of our community. It is not now necessary to urge the manifold evils of intra-mural interment, or to present and portray the immense advantages of rural sepulture. The very feelings, so natural and so strong, which have* long bound thousands to an established practice, will now, they hope, set in in another and better direction. Beneath the verdant and flowery sod— beneath green and waving foliage— amid tranquil shades— w here nature weeps in all her dews, and sighs in every bough— and each warbling bird and glittering cascade chants a solemn requiem, the dying generations of this metropolis will henceforth be larKely sepulchred. ' 8ALZS OF LOTS. A map of the Cemotery, published in portable form, as a eviide for visitors and proprietors of lots, will furnish all needed help for a complete inspection of the grounds. A large map, drawn in detail, may also be consulted at the office of the Secretary, or of the Sup'^rintendent, at the Cemetery. In the special Act relating to Cemeteries it is provided — That purchasers of lots acquire not merely the privilege of bunalL but also the fee of the grounds which they purchase. That no stock, or other speculative interests exist to conflict with the wishes of lot-owners respecting its management. I hat as all the surplus revenues of the Cemetery are to be ai)plied to the extension of the grounds, and the increase of the Permanent Improvement Fund, ample provision is made for the perpetual care, embellishment and preservation of the grounds and improvements. ° y . •iT'^f "1 t^^ ^°.""^ '^ ^"^""P^ '■'■o'" public taxes, and from liability for debt, and is sold in lots which are not subject to assess- ment or annual charge, the proprietors can never forcibly be deprived of their ground. ^ The Survoyor or Superintendent of interments will always be on the grounds to aid those wishing to purchase. The usual size of lots in the main plots is 8x 12 feet, and between every second lot is a space running six feet wide, intended for the convenience of lot owners. The form of the lots vary, depending upon the peculiar surface 01 the ground, and the character of the improvements contemplated. Ihus according to circumstances and location, the lots will be valued and given in circular, square, oblong, or octa^ —.1 form S'Jes for vaults will also be sold according to k^ aeon. Ihe advantages of large plots compared with vaults or single lots are now generally appreciated. Many of the beautiful hills and knolls which are found in the Cemetery, may be separately defined, without incurring much more expense than will be necessary to set apart a single lot. More space is thus obtained for interments, as well as for the adornment of the ground with shrubbery and nowers. It prevents also that unnecessary and unsightly crowding together of monuments which prevails where single lots only are Cemet"er *" ^^^^'^ ^'^^ '" preserving the rural character of the Proprietors may d-'spose of their lots, and have the transfer 02NZBAL BZOULATXONS. .^1 f ^° '°' "•^^^ be used for any other purpose than as a burial place for the dead ; and no trees within the lot shall be planted, cut down or destroyed, without the consent of the Superintendent. II. Proprietors shall not allow interments to be made in their lots for a remuneration. III. AH conveyances of lots for burial purposes shall be um.n condi ion that the grantee or grantees under such conveyances shall not sell, transfer, assign or convey any such lot, or any interest therein, wuhou iirst notifymg the Trustees in writing of their intention so to do, and furnishmg full particulars as to the name, address, occupation or other description of the party to whom such grantee may desire tc, sell ; and a register of such sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance, is to be kept m the Trustees' transfer book; and no such transl, .' shall be made while there are any arrears due upon the said lot to tne Irustees. IV. The proprietor of each lot shall have the right to erert stones, monuments or sepulchral structures, and to cultivate trees fntmJem ^ '" ^^^ ''''""'' ' ^"''^^''^ '° ^^"^ approval of the supcr- y.

An erroneous impression seems generally to prevail in regard to the ownership of lots after the death of the original proprietor ; it sub-el"" ^'^^'^^^'■^ advisable to furnish correct information on the If the owner dies making no disposition of the lot by will, it de- scends to his heirs-at-law ; that is, to the same persons who by the laws of the country, inherit any other of his real estate TBANSFEB OF LOTS. I. All transfer of lots by lot-owners are to be executed in dupli- cate, the transfer to be registered in the regi try books kept in the offices of the Trustees and Superintendent, and endorsed upon tl,e II. Before recording in the books of the Trustees, the transfer of lots accjuired by inheritance, an affidavit of one or more of the Tr'imees ' ''^""""^ '"^'^ heirship must be deposited with the III. The charge for each transfer, including the recording of the same on the books of the Trustees, is two dollars. MASKS AND BOUNDARIES OP LOTS. The proprietor of each lot shall, under the direction of the huperintendent, erect at his own, or her own expense, suitable land- tnarks of stone or iron at the corners thereof, and shall also cause the number thereof to be legibly and permanently marked on the premises. And if the proprietor shall omit for ninety days, after notice, to erect such landmarks, with the number aforesaid, the trustees shall have authority to cause the same to be done at the expense of the said proprietor. The .Superintendent, when a burial lot or other parce of ground shall have been sold, shall at any time after ninety days from the date of the said notice, at the expenseof the proprietor of said lot or parcel of ground, put down suitable stone or iron boundary posts, and cause the lot to be graded, and the num- ber of the lot to be legibly cut upon one of said posts, unless the proprietor shall within that time give satisfactory evidence to the hupenntendent that he will immediately proceed to place such posts upon his lot, with the number inscribed. Those posts shall not stand above ground more than two inches. SUQ&BSTIONS TO LOT OWNERS- The permanence of sepulchral architecture is an object so desir- able, as to entide it to special attention. The dilapidation and disfiguremerit of structures reared for the dead have been too com- mon to excite surprise, but can never be witnessed without pain. Knowing, as we do the nume-ous causes of displacement, and decay which are ever m action, it should be made a primary consideration nnH^" f ^""'!, ^^™; ^"P^^^ f^"" ^^^ ^.m(^wnmiirr'^- ■ 9 are ^ IRON RAILINGS. These, also, are not in general admitted, and can be used only in public and such other places as the trustees may permit. GRANITE COPINGS. These, when constructed of good stone, are very beautiful and enduring. The only objection to them is the expense, which is necessarily very heavy. The dimensions of the coping should be in proportion to the size of the plot, not less in any case than ten inches in thickness and six inches above ground, and it should be tenoned into and resting upon heavy granite posts placed vertically SIX feet under ground, in order that they may not be affected by the heaving of the frost. A space of five inches should be ' between the ground and the coping, at the lowest part, to allow a,, easy flow of water from the lot. MONUMENTS. In regard to monuments too much care cannot be exercised to insure permanency. The foundations must be carefully laid and be not less than six feet deep— the usual depth of graves. The stone of which the structure is made should be free from visible defects, and if possible, of sufficient size to extend across the entire structure! Monuments composed of common masonry and framed with thin slabs of marble, or stone, will not last. It is a species of veneering that will soon exhibit the effects of the severe exposure to which it IS subjected— nor will even the solid stone long endure unless it be made to he on what is termed, its natural bed. Most kinds of stone and marble are composed of strata, or layers, not unlike the leaves ot a book. If the stones are placed edgewise, or vertically, so as to expose the strata unfavorably to the action of the atmosphere and the ,f ' ^'If ?^^"^^ .w'"' '" 'io'e. separate, and the whole structure event- ually fall into rum and decay. TOMBS. The preceding remarks will apply with greater force to tombs bunt m part or totally above ground. In such structures particular care is needed in the plan and construction which may be adopted. I he stones of which they are built should frequently be of sufficient length to extend through the wall— not mere slabs set up on edge- forming no bond of union between the outer and inner surfaces. Where angles occur, each alternate course should be composed of solid stones cut to the angle required, so as to effectually prevent a separation of the walls. When placed on the hill-side the parts above the natural surface of the ground should be of cut stone, the sides as well as the front, so as to avoid all artifirial *>nibankr"«.nts and sodding. The natural form of the hill will thus be preserved ; » in^ 10 unsightly artificial mounds will h^ nr. . j frequently renewing and reoa Hnt P'^^^^f "^ ' ^°^ ^^e expense of The foundation wall should rr/dem^^^^^ ^? ^' ^^°'de3. nor should the side walls in an VDar7hl' ?^ '"^ than three feet, feet.

I The Superintendent of interments will reside at the Cemeterv and will see that suitable persons are in attendance at every inter- ment. ' II. In each case of burial a written statement, giving the name place of nativity, residence (with street if person is from the city) aee' and cause of death of the person to be interred, and shewing whether married or unmarried, must be furnished to the Superin- tendent, that an accurate register thereof may be made The size on top of coffin or case must be mentioned, and the location of the graves to be opened should be accurately designated by a diagram drawn on the back of the statement, or giving the lot, range, and plot, in which the grave is to be made, if required. III. Notice of each interment to be made shall be given at the office of the Cemetery at least six hours ox" day-light previous thereto, except under special circumstances, as the Trustees cannot be responsible for having graves prepared for funerals, unless notice shall be given to the Secretary or Superintendent of it at least six hours of day-hght previous to the hour of said funeral. IV. No disinterment will be allowed in any lot or grave without an order from the owner thereof. V. Every order for interment must be signed by the proprietor or his or her legal attorney ; and after the decease of the proprietor by the legal representative. VI. No grave or tomb shall be opened for interment, or re- moval, by any person not in the employ of the Trustees. VII. No grave shall be opened nearer than six inches from the boundary line of the lot. VIII. When more than one interment is made in the same grave, the last shall have at least four feet of earth over the coffin. IX. No burial shall be allowed in any lot against which there^ shall appear charges due and unpaid. |^ X. All interments, excepting those in public lots, will be sub- ject to certain charges, which in all cases must be paid at the office of the Secretary and Treasurer, before the interment. [A suggestion to lot owners respecting interments in their plot may be of use. It frequently occurs that messages are sent desiring tliat graves should be opened, adjoining or near the graves of persons pre- viously interred. When graves are not designated by stones or other- wise, it will be impossible, in process of time, to comply with all the directions thus given, unless some system for designating every grave is adopted. It is recommended therefore that each lot owner make a drawing of his plot on a blank part of his deed, and record on it every ~ymmSSpy''''~>m3>\'^ei*!^''*M-'S'mi0vum>* -f „..-. . 17 -emetery, 'ery inter- tlie name, city), age, shewing !

Upon the occurrence of future inter- ments, let a transcript of this map, with the place marked where the grave ts desired to be opened, be duly sent. In this way every difficulty will be obviated, and an interesting family record will be made and preserved for future generations. ] XI. Except in cases of necesssity, declared by certificate of a medical practitioner, interments will not be permitted on the Lord's Day. t BULES AND CHABaES CONCEBlTIlTa PUBLIC PLOTS. ^' I. No monuments can be allowed in these lots except slabs laid upon the grave, or thick headstones not exceeding two feet in height above the ground. Neither slabs nor headstones shall be more than two feet wide for adults, and eighteen inches for children. II. The purchaser of a grave in any public plot, wishing to use the same for more than one burial, shall pay the usual cost for open- mg graves for each and every interment. Where lots are afterwards purchased, the full cost of the grave vacated, will be allowed, after de- ductmg the expenses for originally opening the grave and for the dis- interment of the remains. III. The receipts given for a grave shall be presented upon every order for mterment or removal, and shall be considered as the only evidence of the right to make such interment or removal. [Tickets admitting a family at all proper times are given to all who may have purchased graves.] BULES CONCEBNma VAULTAaS. I.

All bodies deposited from November 1st to May ist in each year, must be removed by 15th of May; and all bodies de- posited from May ist to November ist, must be removed within ten days after the deposit, or the removal will be performed by the superintendent, and the bodies interred in grounds especially appro priated for that purpose ; where they can readily be identified, and re- moval made upon payment of such charges as may attend the same. NEGLECTED LOTS. The Superintendent shall, on or before the first Monday in May each year, report to the Trustees a list of all lots which may be so much out of repair as to detract from the geneml good appearance of the Cemetery, upon which the proprietors of said lots or other persons interested therein, shall be notified by the Secretary of their condition, and be urgently requested to put them in repair. II. In cases of gross neglect, when proprietors shall omit or refuse to repair their lots after such notice, it shall be in the dis- cretion of the Trustees or Committee on Lots to cause suitable repairs to be done at the expense of the proprietors. The Secretary shall keep the Superintendent, or keeper informed, as to the lots which the Company have agreed to keep in repair, and shall also state the sums paid by the proprietor's as considera- tion for such agreement. A list of the lots, the repair of which has been contracted for by the Trustees, shall be published in each edition of the catalogue of proprietors, together with the names of the present owners, and the^^. sums respectively paid on said Lots. Jv>, (• EEPAIB FUND. The trustees will receive in trust from any proprietor a sum of mone) t less than one hundred dollars, the income of which shall be appropriated to the repair of his lot according to the terms of the trust given. The Trustees may also guarantee the perpetual repair of lots, upon payment to the treasurer of such sum of money, as the Committee ^'^mmmi'^'^wimK^m'msmutm 19 es ill on Lots may deem sufficient for that purpose. If the repair fund should ever be lost, the whole property of the Company is held for the perpetual repair of such Lots, All money's received from proprietor's for the purpose of keeping lots in repair, shall collectively constitute a separate fund, called the " Repair Fund," and shall be kept invested, under the direction of the Committee on Finance, as the Trustees may see fit, on such secu- rity as they may approve. Each lot, in relation to which such contract shall have been made shall be credited in a book kept for the purpose with the principal sum given on account of such lot, and at the close of each year a rateable proportion of the net income of the whole ''Repair Fund," shall be carried to the credit of each lot. ^ BE-C02TVE7ANCE TO THE TRUSTEES. In any case where a proprietor shall have contracted with the Trustees for the care and preservation of his lot forever, and shall desire to place the same in perpetual trust, for the purpose of res- tricting the right of burial, or for any other legitimate object, he may, with the consent of the Committee on Lots, reconvey such lot, to the Trustees, to hold the same forever, for the uses and trusts ex- pressed in his deed of reconveyance ; reserving to himself, and to such heirs as may be beneficiaries, under the trust, the right of ad- mission and such supervision as is not inconsistent with the rights which are vested in the Trustees. »; # ALTERATION OF BYE LAWS. The Trustees shall have power from time to time to alter, vary, repeal, or add to any of the above bye-laws.
