Proposal to erect a Crematorium at the Colonial Cemetery, Happy Valley.-
(C.S.O. 365/1918.)
The Chairman informed the Committee that the Government considered it desirable to provide a Crematorium for general use and laid before them a plan showing a pro- posal to erect such a structure at the south-east corner of the Colonial Cemetery. The plan showed that direct access from Wongneichong Road to the Crematorium was to be provided so as to obviate the necessity of passing through the Colonial Cemetery itself in order to reach it. Quarters for a caretaker were included in the proposal, the esti- mated cost being $3,300, if the Crematorium were erected close to the road, and $5,300, if it were erected somewhat further back.
The Committee were unanimously of opinion that a Crematorium for general use should be provided and that the site suggested was a suitable one. They advised that the building should be constructed at some distance back from the road and that, not- withstanding any increase which might have to be made in the estimate, the structure itself and the apparatus required for cremation purposes should be in accordance with the latest and most up-to-date practice.
Laid before the Legislative Council this 10th day of April, 1919.
