The Provincial Government has duly notified for public information that the fourth or fifth cemetery with which this city is now adorned is about to be opened for the reception of those whom it may concern. Is it too much for us once more, after innumerable but unsuccessful appeals, to call on the Government to remedy the slovenly appearance of the one about to be disused, and which is situated in the midst of the living, on one of the prettiest and most central sites in the city—an everlasting memento of civilised taste and British appreciation of what is right and proper— care of the living, respect for the dead. If the Government, is too much engaged, in the name of all that is decent let it hand over the job to the unpaid Board of Works, and we will warrant that the matter will soon be settled. We do trust that this is the last time that we shall be compelled to harp on this string.
