PASADENA.
The Cemetery Associsticn-An Alleged
A Aranniaf-Entan.


AFsonist-Notes.
PASADENA, May 20.--A proposition
which has been much discussed of late
is the formation of cemetery associs-
tion which shall be- organized not as en-
investment company, but on purely
cooperative plan, only sufficient being
charged for burial lots to cover the
original cost of the land, with small
margin added which shall be used in
beautifying and improving the grounds.
Such an association was contemplated
by number Of our public spirited citi-
zens several years ago. and considerable
advance waa made towards organization.
The board of trade took hold OF the mat
ter and appointed committee to look
up suitable site. After considerable
investigation piece of land laying on
the other side OF the Arroyo Seoo.
beautifully located upon the hill side,
was selected as the most desirable spot
for cemetery in the vicinity of this
city, and il was go reported to the
board. Owing to the financial depres-
sion which came on about that time
nothing was done, and since that time
Now the necessity OF such Rn organi.
cation is forging itself before the public
nnd 1t is probable that active steps will
be taken soon, looking TO q carrying out
OF the original plan.
Most OF noticeable eastern cemeteries
are conducted upon thie system, sll
moneys received above expenses, which
are light, being expended upon the
grounds, the result being some of the
most beautiful spots imaginable, eve n
in the inhospitable eastern climate. In
this country such csmetery could be
provided in much shorter time and at
a mere nominal expense, compared with
the cost in the east.
1t is suggested that our recently re.
organized board 4 trade take hold ol
the matter and push II through, being
as it ia, a thing in which the whole pub.
lie Is interested, and which, ii properly
managed, would reflect great credit
upon its proihctorn.
