In the past, before our incorporation,
we have purchased with our own funds
two cemetery lots ia which TO bury
members of the profession who have
died without friends or money and who
but for our clup would have been laid
away on the potters' field. We ara
now Legally incorporated and can hold
property. / suggest that we take stsps
TO secure q cemetery lot, not trust for
immediate use. but TO be held for an
emergency. think We can by petit
tioning the council get q lot gwen us
without expense. By taking ecticn
when we have ample time No can Sc
