ME,srINa OF Lor- HoLDHRS In MOUNT
woon CRMsrESY.-Notice was gwen
through the columns of the daily pa
psrs that meeting Of.lot-holders In
Mount Wood Cemetery would be helu
at the Court House on the evening Oh
Satin riav last, aud it was earnestly de-
sired that the attendance should be
large. But it would seem that it is i'm
possible to interest those holding lots
in Mount Wood in anything concern
Ing 1t. Atleast such was the conclusion
we c, me to upon seeing the very few
Assem- bled, Saturday night, at the Cali
OF the Committee.
As we have said, there were very
few present at the Court House NJ tue
time appointed. But, Notwithstanding
il WAS determined to proceed with ousi-
ness and ON motion OF Mr.. Robert
campbell. George 7. Jingle, Esq. was
allied 10 the chair. Mr.. +. w. Bassett
was appointed Secretary.
The Chair stated the object OF the
meeting to be, to put upon a working
footing the organization known as the
Mount Wood Cemetery Association.
ON motion of Mr.. Robert Campbell,
II was resolved that the old Board OF
Trustees OF Mount Wood be requested
- make over to the Mount Wood
Cemetery Association the deed for the
Cemetery grounds.
Mr.. John Bishop rose and made
statement in regard to the present and
mast condition Of the Cemetery, and
concluded by banding to the Secretary
Of the meeting deed Of the property
which he desired should be read.
The deed was read.
Nh. Campbell then moved that the
new trustees, named in the deed, pro
iced to elect themselves, and four more
necessary TO complete the number,
new board to transact business FOR the
association
r.I.H. Williams thought 1t would
be best for the meeting TO appoint the
trustees necessary TO complete the
board.
NJ. Campbell accepted Mr..Wiliisms'
suggestion a. an amendment.
NJ. Geo. Robinson objec;ed-thouSht
the lew composing the meeting should
no. take the responsibility Of appoint
fuy trustees, and characterized the for
nation of the Mount Wood Cemetery
Association by few men, acting with
out the authority of the lot-holders, as
n cIAudestine proceeding. He did not
wish to be understood as casting any
reflection upon any of the gentlemen
engaged in that proceeding. he knew
that cIaudestine meant sly, under
handed. but could not possibly find
another word TO express his meaning.
For himself he was perfectly satisfied
with the matter, butthought the man
ner'' in which the Mount Wood buSi-
ness was being conducted likely 10 ere
ate future trouble.
Mr.. Campbell inquired of the gentle
man who had the door, if he could
snow a way By which the gentlemen
composing the new association were to
proceed.
Mr.. Robinson replied that it was not
for min TO say how individuals, who
had got into difficulty of their own &C
cord. should get out of it. 1t was none
of his business.
Al this stage OF the proceedings the
Chair looked al his watch and remind
ed Ir. Robinson that it was getting late,
and i was desirable that the meeting
should do something definite in the
business line.
Mr.. Robinson replied that time for
speaking at this meeting was not linn
lied, but. if he was not to be allowed TO
express his opinion on the matter I'M
der consideration, he would sit down.
The Chair said Mr.. Robinson had
right to speak.
No further remarks being offered,
the motion as amended was put and
carried
Nj. Geo. Robinson, Robert Campbell,
F.w. Bassett, Geo. T. Tingle and Smith
Mcdonald were appointed trustees.
These with Messrs. D. c. List, John
Bishop, Robert Morrison and l. II. Will
liarns, members OF the old board, con-
-s;i,uts the new Board OF Trustees.
Mr. Robert Campbell made a finan-
ciaI statement. He had collected
x2.O23 81, subscriptions for repair, de-,
OF Mount Wood Cemetery, and there
were still about 800 outstanding, which
could be collected.
I; was decided that a meeting of the
new Board Of Trustees should he held
