menced within one year after the death. The title of the bill
purports to do this, but the bill itself provides that the action
must be brought within six months. In other words, instead

(Chapter 529, House Bill No. 357. )

This bill undertakes to authorize the Parkwood Cemetery

within the limits of any city or town unless the corporate
authorities authorize the same. The bill would, therefore, be
invalid as a special law on a subject covered by the existing
general law, and for that reason it will be vetoed.
