Newman dies in cemetary
Newman dies in cemetary
No progress has been made with the Catholics' Newman Hall hostel to be built on the present site of the Mount Street Cemetery.
Steps had not yet been taken to legally close the cemetery, said one of the trustees representing Newman Hall, Mr M. J. O'Brien.
Father Matthias, of the Northland Presbytery, said, "It's all a question of finances."
He did not think the Hostel Finances Committee would be able to start the Everton. Trinity and Newman Halls together.
It was reported in the March 19 issue of Salient that the graves would be moved next long vacation.
