REGULATIONS MADE PURSUANT TO THE CEMETERIES
ORDINANCE 1933-1959.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

No. 9 of 1961

	The amendments contained in these regulations are consequential to the amendments effected by the Cemeteries Ordinance 1961.

	The power of the Minister to require the Chairman or Secretary of the Cemetery Trust to call a meeting of trustees is omitted by the amendment contained in Regulation 1.

	The amending Ordinance provides for fees and charges raised under the Ordinance to be paid into a bank account opened by the trustees.  Consequently sub‑regulation (2) of regulation 6 has been omitted and a provision substituted requiring these moneys to be paid to the trustees.  Regulations 7, 8 and 9 which contain arrangements with the Department of the Interior for the accounting of moneys received and paid from the trust account have been omitted as these accounting arrangements will be assumed by the trustees under the amending Ordinance.
