GRAVE OBJECTIONS.
CoraopoIitans Do Not Like to Drink Water

Hitch Possible.

CoraopoIitans Do Not Like to Drink Water
That Percolates Through a Cemetery
Hitch Possible.
There seems to be kick of considerable
dimensions developing in Coraopolis against
the location chosen by the. Cemetery Com
pany, not so much on sanitary as on gorge
rising grounds. A part of the ground
chosen is the old Methodist Church grave
yard. So long as less than half dozen
bodies year were inferred in it no fault
was found, but with regularly incorporated
company operating it, it is expected that in
terments will increase to an extent sufficient
to pollute the soil to :he extent of contamin-
ating all the springs and wells in mile or
so square Of the borough limits.
Mr.. John Arras, one of the objectors,
stated that if an examination were made
and the rock found to dip toward the south,
much of the opposition would cease, but
this seems not to have been ascertained.
Were water works to be built the OBJ
jectors, or some of them at least, might be
easily pacifed, but as at present the
borough contains some five square miles of
territory in which houses are thinly scat
tered, it is argued that it may not be many
years until the place is built sufficiently
thickly to justify the laying of pipe neces-
sary to supply territory so extensive.
Whether the kick will develop into or
ganized opposition remains to be seen, but
the opponents of cremation ought at least to
favor the location of cemeteries on low
ground so that the dead may not be men,
ace to the living.
