Sadie A. Foster & Others v. Mayor Beverly

Zoning. Cemetery. Corporation, Religious corporation, Cemetery corporation. Constitutional Law, Zoning, Police power. Beverly. The zoning ordinance of Beverly, purporting among other things to regulate and restrict the "use of . . . premises" in the
city and showing by other language that its framers were not unmindful of cemeteries, was not to be construed as exempting
cemeteries from its application although there was no provision allowing use of land for cemeteries in any of the zoning districts
established by the ordinance.
