OFFICE BOARD OF HEALrH,l
Hon. Mr.. Lewis:
visited the locality in which it is pro-
posed to establish the new cemetery. It
will be several years, perhaps many, before
habitatiOns will be crowded upon this
graveyard; Yet | consider its position even
then undesirable, because of its location on
a great thOrOughfare, and think the Ridge"
the proper place for all cemeteries.
