THE PRESIDENTS REPORT.
The following report was read by the
secretary:
The president and trustees of Oakland
| Cemetery association would respectfully
report to the lot owners in the cemetery. in
regard to the operation and progress for
the fiscal year ending May 81, 1888: The
business of the association has been carried
on actively, successfully, and with due re-
gard to the strictest economy. A much
| larger outlay of funds than in any former
year has been rendered necessary by the
permanent Improvements which have been
| prosecuted during that time. The result
| of this has been a manifest development
of the cemetery in beauty and attractive
ness. Much has been done in grading and
bringing out in part what will be the ulti-
mate plan and the general features of the
| cemetery in years to come. The mortuary
chapel and receiving tomb, the walls of
which were contracted for, as intimated in
our report of a year ago, is approaching
completion, and will, in a few weeks,
| be ready for the uses for which it
was intended. The building thus far
has cost the association $17,490.5O.
| Several thousand dollars more will be ne
cessary to entirely finish it and grade and
beautify the approaches. The structure is
already handsome and imposing, an orna-
ment to the city as we'll as to the cemetery.
| The purposes for which it was intended
will be fully met, and the building itself
will be in perfect keeping with its object
and surroundings.
| As usual the association has made graft
| flying pecuniary progress, though the pro-
ceeds have, of course, been unusually alb
| sorbed by improvements which represent
in value more than their cost. Masonry
| and monumental work during the year will
aggregate about $4,000. Other perma-
nent Improvements will be made as the
| means of the ASSOCIATION may warrant, and
all will be carried on in the future as in the
past, with unquestionable economy and
| with the strictest supervision on the part
of the trustees. All of which is respect
fully submitted. H . H SIBLEY, President.
R. MARVIN, Secretary.

| MISCEIIANEOTS
DR.. Day, Mr.. Noyes and Capt. Blakeley
spoke cf the grounds of the cemetery and
complimented their appearance. In the
chamber of commerce DR.. Day called the
attention of the members to the fact that
there would be a meeting of the members
of the Cemetery association, and also
| expressed the desire that expressions of
opinion might be given to the effect that
the cemetery grounds known as Oakland
cemetery should always be held sacred and
| never be disturbed or interfered with by
the demand of business. or the convenience
of increasing population. The members
of the cemetery association finally con-
cluded that it would be useless to do this.
| as those who live q quarter of a century
later in st. Paul might think differently,
and, of course, could not be controlled.
This being all the business the meeting
adjourned.
