To the Honorable the Common Council of
the City OF Grand Rapids:
Gentlemen-YO special committee ap-
pointed on August Is. 1889 page 20 of your
printed proceedings. TO report in refere ce to
the purchase by the city Of additional ground
for cemetery purposes. respectfully report that
they have carefully examined into the subject
matter and recommend the purchase of the
forty acres on the north OF Greenwood Gene
terry at the price of $4,000 per acre said prop
erty belong to the Bush es tate.
The said forty acres are handsomely situated
and on said parcel of ground there is an un-
falling spring that would supply all the water
that would ever be needed for use In said Gem
etery.
Your committee deem the purchase a most
desirable one. and the price proposed very
reasonable.
In the opinion Of your committee IL is better
10 enlarge such of the present cemeteries as
are suitably situated. than 10 purchase a large
tract for the establishment Of an entirely new
cemetery. thus ontailing extra expense for
sections. vaults. etc.
Your committee asks for further time as to
the purchase of additional grounds.
Respectfully submitted.
