Bond given by the late Joseph Carew

The Secretary called the attention of the Board to the
Bond given by Mr. Joseph Carew to the Corporation, under
date of April 21^st, 1869, by virtue of which he was allowed to
do work upon Lots at request of proprietors without first
obtaining the customary permits from the Corporation, –
with a view of ascertaining what action if any might be
expedient on the part of the Trustees, in view of the recent
decease of Mr. Carew. After discussion it was

Secretary to notify his business successors.

Voted, – that the Secretary be instructed to inform the
parties, if any, who may be carrying on business as the
Successors of the late Mr. Carew, that the privilege accorded
to Mr. Carew upon his bond, with surety, of doing work in
the Cemetery without obtaining permits was personal to himself
and would not be construed as applicable to his Successors.
