THE PRESIDENTS ASD TRUSTEES REPORT.
The following report by Gen. Sibley, presi-
dent of the association, was read and accept
ed:
The president and trustees of the Oakland
cemetery association respectfully submit
their report to the lot owners for the fiscal
year ending May Al, 1884, as follows:
In addition to the Improvements to- the
groves which have been prosecuted on q
more extensive scale than in any other prev
ious year involving correspondingly
greater outlay, the beautiful mortuary chapel
which has been for two years in process of
erection has been completed and fully paid
for. The funeral ceremonies are now con-
Quoted within it and mourners and other
friends of deceased persons are saved from
the dangers and discomfort of attendance
upon interments in the open air, in inclem-
ent weather. Many fine monuments have
been erected by individual lot owners dur
ing the year, and Oakland cemetery is fast
becoming one of the most interesting and
attractive of the resting places of the dead.
The work on the chapel received the con-
slant and diligent supervision of the building
committee, and to the architect, Mr.. Bass
ford much credit is due for the intelligent
and conscientious manner with which he
performed the duties devolved upon him.
The treasurer's report viii show that finan-
cia1ly the past year has been the most sue
cessful of any in the history of the associa-
ton. The cost of the mortuary
chapel was nearly $4,000, and
the association has now in cash
and interest bearing bonds, about $50, 600.
The assets are now nearly 81, 900 in excess
of those for the year ending May 81, 1888.
The association is to be congratulated
upon the success which has attended its
| operations and upon the prospects of still
greater prosperity.
Respectfully submitted,
H. H.. SHELLEY, President.
