To the LothoIders of Edge Hill
Cemetery Company.

TINE Trustees Of Edge Hill Cemetery appeal 10
the Othoders to pay as promptly as they can
or after the Let day Of July next their annual
tax Of One Dollar, levied for the purpose Of keep
ing in proper order the Grounds Of the Company.
This small sum is their only reliance at preSent
for this necessary object, and they feel confident
that IL will not be Withheld. The purchage mOneg
for lots was not intended 20 be used and does not
cover any part OF the expenditure for which this
necessary outlay Is required. The extensive i'm
prOvements made have more than absorbed all tho
revenues from the sale Of los, and the grounds
must be neglected unless the moderate tax assessed
can be collected.
The following Section from the Bylaws n the
Company is published for general Information
"The Treasurer shall issue all orders for inter
ments, but no such order shall be issued by him
unless all arrearages due upon the lots Tor which
such order shall have been demanded or due By
the owner thereof, shall have been fully paid and
discharged"
