| 7 | | Sec. 11-51-1. Cemetery removal. Whenever any any cemetery |
| 8 | | is embraced within
the limits of any
city, village, or |
| 9 | | incorporated town, the corporate authorities thereof,
if, in |
| 10 | | their opinion, any good cause exists why such cemetery should |
| 11 | | be
removed, may cause the remains of all persons interred |
| 12 | | therein to be removed to
some other suitable place. However, |
| 13 | | the corporate authorities shall first
obtain the assent of the |
| 14 | | trustees or other persons having the control or
ownership of |
| 15 | | such cemetery, or a majority thereof. When such cemetery is |
| 16 | | owned
by one or more private parties, or private corporation or |
| 17 | | chartered society,
the corporate authorities of such city may |
| 18 | | require the removal of such cemetery
to be done at the expense |
| 19 | | of such private parties, or private corporation or
chartered |
| 20 | | society, if such removal be based upon their application. |
| 21 | | Nothing
in
this Section limits the powers of the City of |
| 22 | | Chicago to acquire property or
otherwise exercise its powers
|
| 23 | | under
Section 15 of the O'Hare Modernization Act.
