the conduct of the cemetery during the
last year or two.
Mr.. Crenshaw moved that the election
be made by acclamatiOn. This was
adopted and Mr. A. Bargamin was unan-
imously elected
Mr.. Bagamin said he had served un.
der the late Mr.. Haxall ten years, and he
had obtained some experience. What.
ever talent he possessed would be given
toward making Hollywood a beautiful
and properly conducted cemetery.
PRESIDENTS REPORT.
The secretary then then read the
presidents report, as follows
The report Of President Bargamin
states that he succeeded Mr. William
Henry HaXall, as his report would cover
the entire year
The principal work done during the
past year has been the completion of the
large sewer built by the city. Though
the main expense was borne by the city,
vet it left the ground in such an un-
slightly condition, that II will require a
considerable outlay to restore it to its
former beauty. The work is now in the
hands of our engineer, Mr.. c. =. +. Bur
gwyn, who, with his usual ability, will |
soon complete it,
The other work during the year con-
sists of widening certain roads, easying /
their curyatures, laying stone cutters, /
putting up new fences and repairing old /
ones, building basin in the north end |
of the addition to afford water for the
section in that part Of the grounds. The
cost Of fencing was SGsO.7j; gutiering,
s 6O.45; other Improvements, $Sl242;
total, $2,2j3.63.
The proposed work for the ensuing
year will be grading and filling in the
area occupied by the city sewer, widen
ing the main avenue, adjusting the curry
itures, constructing hydrants and fOun-
aims along the line of the sewer in order
10 give lot owners the use Of water
This water will be drawn from springs
IN the grounds.) In opening up new
avenues in the addition in crawling
ZONE already opened, taking measures
cooking to the construction of new en-
rance from Linden street, which is now
)eing graded by the city, to the Gene
cry, which will be necessary, as Cherry ,
treet, when graded by the city, will be .
aised several feet. This may not be
lone for several years, but when the new
ntrance is made we hope to so embellish /
he grounds on each side of the avenue
S to make ii one of the principal fea- I
ures of our grounds, as ii will give YOU a
all view Of the big valley in front and /
ills on both sides
\ new map is recommended of addi- 4
ion on scale large enough to show
ach individual grave, so that each grave I
an be marked and numbered The cost !
'ould be about 800. Ii is recommended {
hat some new plan by which the ex- :
enses of the grounds be paid, in place :
charging Sl1 for digging grave. a
