sHOCKOE HILL CEMETERY.
Tho Cause OF the Bad Condition OF the Old
Burying Ground.

Superintendent Richard w. Carter. of
Shockoe Hill Cemetery. stated yesterday that
the bad condition of the cemetery is chiefly
due to the failure of the owners Of sections to
keep them in proper order. The city cannot
keep the walks etc. clean and also clean up
private sections. Many of these have not been
attended 10 for several years Others have
never been visited. as all of the family are dead
or moved away. or for some reason entirely
neglect them The city appropriation is fifty
dollars per annum.
The city force and some of the almshouse
people keep up the work for the city but I'M
less the section owners look after their Sec
tions. the condition of the cemetery cannot DO
improved, as the city is not required TO keep
sections in order.
