ExTRAC'l' from the I'roNincial Act, enii)ovvcring Municipalities to close Cemeteries : Ri'7>isi'd Sidt. i'/Ont.,C. ijf, S///>-Si'<. j/ (>/ Sir. /66; "Councils of Cities, 'I'owiis and Incorporated V^illaKes may pass I>y-La\vs for regulating the interment of the dead, and for preventing the same taking place within the Municipality.' — J6 y/c, C. 4S\ Stc.sS^, Su/>-Sn. 24. It needs no lawyer to understand the exact meaning of the a])ove extract. It is evident that all Corpora- tions, be they public or |)rivate, stand in jirecisely the same i)osition. The powers of the Municipalities are alxsolute, nnd from the operation of the law as it now stands, no corporation can claim exemption. The only securit)^h','refore i:s in the choice of such a situation as is nevt\ likely to come within its opera- tion, and this the Tri]stees of '" Woodland Cemetery" believe they ha.ve secured. The Cemetery is bounded on the north by the River Thames, on the south l>y the " Pipe Line Road," and but a short distance to the west the road and river almost meet. Thus there would be no inducement for the corporation of any RLI.KS AM) REtil'LATIONS village, even should such spriny; up on the oast side, to embrace Woodland Cemetery within its limits, as no revenue, Ijy way of taxes, &c., would result. The Trustees therefore have ground for confidence that Woodland Cemetery will be a permanent resting place for the dead for all time. W^oodland is situated in the Township of West- minster, on the north side of the Pipe Line Road, exactly two miles from Westminster Bridge. It is very easy of access ; in the winter by a njad which, though new, will in a short time compare favourably with the best roads in the neighl)orhood of the city ; and the summer by both road and river. Arrange- ments will be made with the steamers which leave the foot of J )undas Street every two hours, to stop at the Cemetery Wharf, going and returning, for the accommodation of visitors. The Trustees consider that they have been fortunate in securing a site so admirably adapted for cemetery purposes, and so surpassingly lovely. The wood is very tine, many of the oak, beech and maple trees having attained full size. No expense or care will be spared in making such suitable improvements as will render the C'eme- tery the most desirable spot in whic/h to deposit the mortal remains of "the loved and ^^^e dear." n The Cemetery contains abou/ 58 acres of lieauti- fully rolling land, substantially fenced with pickets seven feet high, bound top and bottom with iron. Good roads are being constructed which in all seasons will furnish visitors with an easy and pleasant walk or drive to all parts of the ground. mmtm I f OF WOODLAND CF.MKTFRV. A good house for the caretaker has been erected, and a vault, near the road entrance. It is also pro- pcsed to erect another caretaker's house near the wharf, so that every precaution is taken to secure order in the grounds, and proper protection to the monuments and improvements made by the lot- holders. Fountains will be jilaced in suitable spots, which will add greatly to the attractiveness of the grounds. A telephone is to be erected in the chief care- taker's house, communicating with a central station in the city, for the accommodation of lot holders and others. ;v The Trustees contenij^late the erection of a Public Mausoleum for i^iermanent interment. This tomb will be furnished with compartments, affording separate interment for each l)ody, with marble tab- lets, on which maybe inscribed the name and age of the person interred. ^ Woodland cemetery will be open to all, and the ministers of all denominations free to perform the last rites over tlie members of their respective deno- minations. There are no div\\^nds to pay, and the whole of the revenue will be\ expended in keeping up the grounds, and making additional improvements. The Trustees feel assured that, from the nature of the ground, all of which can be used for cemetery purposes, from the beauty of the surrounding scenery, and from the grand growth of the native forest trees, the public of London will a|>prcciate their eftbrls and amply rej)ay the labour and expense which has been undertaken in the establishment of "Woodland Ceme- tery." SALE OF LOTS. AVUKUK MAPS OF CKMKTKKV CAN UK I-'oCM). * A map of the Cemetery will be placed in the X'estry of St. Paul's Church, for the use of those who are desirous of purchasing lots, and Lo whom it is incon- venient to go out to the grounds. Another map will be placed in the waiting-room at the Cemetery Lodge, which will furnish all needful help to those who visit the Cemetery. LOTS AND DRKDS. The Superintendent or his assistant will always ])e on the gr^'.unds to aid those wishing to purchase. Purchasers of lots are entitled to a i\^t*ti\ of convey- ance, and acquire the fee of the ground purchased. No charge will be made for the deed to those who transfer their lots from St Paul's to Woodland Cemetery, but to new purchasers the charge of deed will be 50c. ^t^J The ground is laid out in l^s varying in size, some 16x16, others 20x16, or rigain 20x20. These can be subdivided into half or quarter lots, at the optiim of the purchaser. Other portions of the ground will be separately defined to suit purchasers ; thus some of the most beautiful spots in the Cemetery can be acquired, more space be obtained for inter- ■' \ y' „ r OF \V(H)|)I,ANn CKMKIKRY.

Proprietors may dispose of their lots, and have the transfer recorded on the hooks of the 'I'rustecs, on the payment of 50c. for each transfer. Lots are conveyed by the Trustees in/ee, subject to the following rej^ulations : 1st.

Such posts shall not ! stand more than six inches above the ground. SUGGESTIONS TO LOT OWNERS. CH(JICK OF MOMMKNTS, ETC. j It is needless to remark that the respect we owe to the memories of those who, in the ])rovidencc of (.jod, are removed from the scene of their earthly labours, i and also a just regard for the feelings and tastes of | j those who visit Woodland Cemetery, demands that j special care should be used by all who erect head- , stones and monuments on the irround, to choose such ' . . . fc> ' j material as is best suited to resist atmospheric influ- \ ence, whicii, without such care, will in a few vt;ars reduce them to a condition tiiat will grcaiiy detract from the geneiai aj)j)earance of the grounds. Know- ing how liable those wlio are v/eighed down with grief are to be imposed upon, and how little at such a time they are able to exercise a calm judgment, the 'I'rustee would iesj)ectfully make the following sug- gestions : V I Past experience hav-; proved how desirable it is that in order to i)reserve the beauty of *' Woodland Ceme- tery '' the iols should he kei)t entirely free from every- thing likely to interfere with the view from all j^arts i of the «:roun(ls. The Trustees have, fnnn the com- i mencement, discouraged the erection of posts and ' J rails, posts and chains, and iron railings, and forbidden the planting of hedges as enclosures for lots. All who vi '. the Cemetery at once admit the wisdom of this course, and the Trustees now feel justified in prohibiting altogether any of the above enclosures. Nothing, therefore, will in future be allowed but GRANITH OR STONK COPINGS wliich, when thoroughly good stone is used, are beautiful and enduring ; these, however, must not be raised above the level of the sod except on the edge next the road or path, and even then not more than six inches. Monuments, — Too much care cannot be exercised to ensure permanency. The foundation upon which it rests should be not less than five feet below the ground, of solid stone or the best concrete. The stone or marble should be free from all visible defects. Veneered marble never lasts long and is always liable to displacement by frost. Solid stone will not last long unless it be made to lie on what is termed its natural l)ed. Most kinds of stone and marble are composed of strata or layers like the leaves of a book. If the stones are placed edgewise or verlicfrily, so as to expose the strata unfavorably to/ihe action of the weather, the seams will in \\mt separate, and the whole structure eventually fall into ruin and decay. U'he Trustees would also state that mounds of earth will not be allowed to be raised over graves ; only a slight elevation, not more than three inches above the natural level of the ground, will be permitted. This r t ^■mmm 1 'is iucessary to secnrt' the proper cutting of the i^rass^ and general neat appearance of the lots. RULES CONCERNING IMPROVEMENTS. 1st. To insure the keeping of the grounds in proper condition, a rate, as per scale, has been fixed, to be paid at the time of the purchase of the lot. Such sum will secure the keeping of the lot clean and the grass properly cut; for all time. See list of charges at end. NO FEES TO BE PAID TO CARETAKERS. 2nd. The caretakers are not allowed, under any circumstances, to accept fees from lot-holders or others, for work done by them. The scale of charges will be found at the end of these regulations, and such sums will l)e credited to the account of the Trustees. 3rd. All persons employed for the construction of vaults, in making improvements on lots, or j/Utling up of monuments, tombstones, <\:c., must be subject to the directions of the Superintendent. 4th. Anyone employed by a lot-holder to do any work on his lot, nVst bring a written order from such lot-holder. \ " 5th.

Foundations for monuments must be built of solid masonry, or the best concrete, and not less than five feet deep, according to the size of the monu- ment or structure. If this ride is not strictly ohserved the monument ivill soon be thrown out of the perpen- iiicular by the frosty and become a disfigurement to the grounds. 9th. Rule 8 applies also to headstones, which will not be allowed more than two feet above the ground unless resting on a stone or concrete foundation ; and all headstones fixed in bases must be secured with best cement. loth. Should any monument or headstone become displaced through the action of frost, or other cause, the Superintendent shall notify the l^jt-holder, and in case he should neglect to cause th/ necessary repairs to be done, they shall be done umler the direction of the Superintendent and charged to the lot holder. nth. All damage done to any lot, monument^ tombstone, fence or tree, by workmen employed by lot-holders, shall be made good at the expense of such person or persons so employed.

I3lh. For masonry foundations a stonemason should be employed, but the work must be under the direc- tion of the Superintendent. (The observance of the above rules have been found, by long exj^erience, to be essential to the maintenance of good order, and the i)ermanent beauty of the Cemetery.) 14th.
