 the Work Recently Done There. Editor of the News
 Complying with your request, enclos- ed please find list of repairs to head stones in "Lower Cemetery" with 2 few words of explanation in regard to same which may be of interest to some of your readers.
 The late Mrs Mary A. Peet left very generous legacy ($15OO fifteen hun dred dollars, the interest to be expend- ed in the proper care of the Peet Fami- ly plot as far as necessary, and the remainder for the general beneft.of the ground. Mir D. l.. Ere eman and my. self were appointed committee to look after this trust and I understand there is, or has been, conflict of opinion, or rather misunderstanding. as to who is responsible for the proper care of the yard. and that new organization has been proposed.
 This think will be unnecessary, as the town assumes, owns and controls the grounds The selectmen are the proper guardians to see that it is fenced. moved and kept in proper condition, same as the other yards in town.
 Messrs John O. Richmond, A. T.. Roraback and J. w. Peet are a com mitttee appointed by the town for the purpose of locating and selling lots for burial purposes.
 The Peet Fund committee took the responsibility of ordering all the head stones put in repair ss shown in the list; and if any of the parties interested wish to pay for repairs made on their lots they can do so by communicating or calling upon me, and oblige,
 Yours respectfully,
 J. B. REED. Cdaaan, Conn.,, August IT, 1894.
