Properties offered for sale in other districts did not have soil which was as suitable as that in Bromley, it having been found that in most districts water was encountered within two or three feet.of the surface or the soil was of a shingly nature. Tha Cemetei ies' Act forbids the purchase of land Inside a city for cemetery purposes."
