Prospectus of the Port Hope Union Cemetery. The Town Council having passed a By-law prohibiting inter- ments within the limits of the Corporation, thereby carrying out the recognized feeling of the public, that the time had arrived when the health of the Town required such provision to be eflfected, it was felt that an eflfbrt should be made to bring about the united action of all the religious denominations in establishing a Cemetery which should be an ornament and a credit to the town. This has been successfully accomplished, and a tract of land, ■ufl&ciently large for many "years to come, has been procured and laid out in a suitable manner upon a plan made by Mr. Englehardt, the wcll-knowir landscape gardener. The land selected is admirably suited ti the purposes of a Cemetery, the water-shed being from the town; and the sub-soil being dry, is well itted for a grave-yard, and while the plot is sufficiently remote from the thickly settled parts of the Town, it is of easy access to those desiring the quiet retirement of its shades. The Cemetery is established under the General Act of Parlia- m«^nt respecting public cemeteries, as amended by a Statute passed in the year 1872. Under the provisions of these Acts, one-half of all the revenue must be appropriated towards pay- ment of the purchase money ef the land, and the other half to the improvement and embellishment of the ground; and after the purchase money has been fully paid, the proceeds of all future sales must, for all time, be laid out in the improvement of the Cemetery, ''and/or no other purpose.'' Every proprietor of a lot in the Cemetery is a shareholder, is entitled to a vote, and is eligible as a Director. By-laws and Rules and Regulations for the management of the Cemetery have been carefully prepared. The Cemetery has been established solely in the public in- terest, and it is felt that the thanks of the townspeople are due, and will be cheerfully a.^corded, to those who have advanced the money wherewith tke land has been purchased and made ready for use. The following is a list of the Directors and officers of the Cemetery, who hold office until the Annual Meeting, which the law requires shall take place on the third Monday in January in every year:— A. T. H. Williams, President; D. Chisholm, Secretary; James Craick, Treasurer. Directors:— Wm. Craig, Sr., Rea Dickson, Wm. Quay, Jas. Craick, P. R. Randall, Chas.
