     To prohibit in cities of the second class the construction or
        erection of public or community vaults, crypts, or mausoleums
        (that is to say, vaults, crypts, or mausoleums, or parts of
        mausoleums, intended for sale to the public), for the

     crypts, mausoleums, or parts of mausoleums, intended for sale to
     the public), for the interment of human bodies, where the
     building containing such vaults, crypts, or mausoleums is wholly
     or partially above the surface of the ground:--
        Section 1.  Be it enacted, &c., That no person, firm, or
     corporation shall hereafter, in cities of the second class,
     commence, build, construct, or erect any public or community
     vault or mausoleum; that is to say, vaults, crypts, or
     mausoleums, wherein such vaults, crypts, or parts of mausoleums,
     are intended to be sold or offered for sale to the public; for
     the interment therein of human bodies, where such public or
     community vaults, crypts, or mausoleums are in a building or
     buildings wholly or partially above the surface of the ground.
