 Since the association began the sys- tematio improvement of the grounds there has been q marked change in the character and value of the monuments erected upon family lots. Those which have been erected within the last few years will compare fayorably with the monuments In any cemetery. We VIII speak of but two, excellent cuts or which are given in the book.
 First Is the memorial arch at the en- trance to ths cemetery, This wns erected In 1885 by MT. C. w. Grunniss, formerly of Fair Haven, but now of San Francisco, to tho memory of his decensed mother. IL is constructed of dark, red sandstone from the East Haven quar- ries md trimmed with light-colored sandstone, makina n pleasant contrast. Upon the side Is carved the following:
 This gateway is erected in loving memory of my mother and ihe friends of my youth who sleep within"
 The second Is the beautiful m0usoleum erected by Mir. D. D. Mallory In 1898. MT. Mallory has been In business In the city of Baltimore for number of years. but like MT. Granniss, remembered the home of his boyhood. The mnusoleum is constructed of rough granite with iin- ished granite trimmings and stained glnss windows Of suggestive designs. These monuments will long pcrpetuaie annals Of the town.
 The book then speaks of the erection of the mortuary chapel. With gifts and funds received 1t Is hoped that the chapel will he completed this year.
 Persons willing to make donations of any amount are invited to correspond with MT. Crawford, secretary of the association. Possibly some person would be glad to give n memorial win dow, or erect a memorial tablet, or in some other way in or upon the building perpetuate the memory of loved one. If so, arrangements can be made with the secretary.
 In the original square there were eighty lots. The three Bristol addi. tions increased the number to 263; the two Clark additionsto 39S and the sub sequent additions still further increased the number to 499. Of these there are but eight remaining unsold. These will soon be sold and then the cemetery lx.,iIl t,n ix,p a h until tho n. occupied lots opened for new tenants are all occupied. That, however. will be long years hence and in the mean time there must be no more neglect but rather constant improvement.
