A few days ago we took Stroll
through the Austin Cemetery, and we
were impressed with the fac! that we lack
in Austin what is so essential in other
places, viz, a receiving tomb. In = eli
mate SO severe as this, where il the Win
ter time the ground is frozen to depth OF
several feet, such temporary receptacle
for the dead would be found very conve-
nien', during the cold months. We sug.
gest that measures be taken sufficiently
carly to insure t,s G"ildiag Of a subs.an.
tial tomb before the cold weather sets in
again. It is public necessity.

We are always pleased with these enter
