It was advised that Mr Henderson had unsuccessfully endeavoured to enlist the assistance of Mr Brebner, prior to his departure, and Mr Tomkins subsequently. It was essential that arrangements respecting the new cemetery proceed with a minimum of delay, and it was asked thajt Mr Tomkins be instructed, in order that the scheme plan might be proceeded with right away.
