Telegram from Arthur W. Fergusson to Charles F. De Mey

Arthur W. Fergusson affirms that the Municipal Council has the right to prohibit the burial of the dead within centers of population, and the Municipal Board of Health has the power to abate nuisances endangering public health. Fergusson is responding to arguments by a local priest in the Philippines that burials should continue as before, even in a cemetery that is full.
