EVERGREEN CEMETERY
TRUSTEES OFFICE,
PORTLAND, March 81, 1882.
Gentlemen of the City Council:
BY an order of the City Council, approved
April Z, 1880, joint special committee of the
City Council was created to supervise the work
of printing and binding the revised ordinance
es OF the city" The committee having COM
pleted their labors the City Council by ordin-
ance approved December 6, 1881, declared the
ordinances as Published to be the ordinances
of the City of Portland. In comparison Of an
ordinance entitled ian ordinance for the gov
ernment and control of Evergreen Cemetery"
as published and as originally passed by the
City Council, several important errors appear.
To restore the ordinance to its original condi-
tion as passed, herewith submit certain
amendments together with two additional
amendments. An explanation of thescause of
so many errors is due to the committee.
At the request of the committee on judicial
proceedings and claims I prepared and sub
mitted to them the draft of an ordinance; and
to allow the members of the City Council op-
portunity to examine the same copies were
struck off and placed in their hands. Previous
to adoption, however, certain changes were
made in the ordinance as written and present.
ed. find upon comparison that the original
draft of the ordinance has been copied into the
revised ordinances instead of the ordinance as
amended and adopted.
Very respectfully
WIN. T. SMALL, Secretary of Trustees.
An amendment to clause of the ordinance
on finance was also made, that the committee
on accounts audit the accounts of the secretary
and treasurer Of Evergreen Cemetery.

thorized to transfer at the end of the present

naming unexpended, to the different appro-
