Cap. 10 Art. 136Distance to be observed in the construction of cemeteries.

(1) No cemetery shall be constructed at a distance less than one hundred and eighty-three metres from any house intended for habitation:

Provided that where, notwithstanding such distance, there may be a danger to public health or a nuisance to the neighbours, such distance shall be increased, and where considered expedient in the particular circumstances of a given case such distance shall be reduced, in each case as the General Services Board shall direct.

(2) Nevertheless, it shall be lawful for the Superintendent of Public Health to allow an extension of any cemetery constructed before the first of January nineteen hundred and thirty-two, although the distance of any such cemetery or of such extension from any house intended for habitation be less than that mentioned in sub-article (1), if he considers such extension to be necessary for the exigencies of the district.
