a Very Vigorous Letter on the Subject Of
the city Of the Dead
To the Editor OF The Post:
Houston, Texas. February Is, 1851 was
glad TO see, by an article ir your issue
Of this morning that The disgracctul cen
ditlon Of Glenwood Cemetery had at last
bon commented on by the press OF our
city.
In most communities the resting plscoa
OF our dead would be considered of 30 sn-
cred a character that the gambling among
their speculative values would be thing
that most any one would shrink from.
But 1t seems that Houston has such men,
who only think OF the PROFIT promised by
the venture. caring nothing whatever
about what the character of the invest
ment may be. The supposltion prevails
that lot owners In Glenwood have rights,
and that II you Z r. rAt IN "A lot. you get a
reasonable value for your money, and that
you own the property you pay for This
impression liz erroneous. Having lost a
son lately, | had no option but TO buy a
lot In Glenwood. | was forced TO pay 500
for n piece Of ground twenty feet square
which was so unsishtiy that had to have
ten wagon loads OF earth put on II so as
to make N level enough TO be used. II
then cost me 500 to put n light stone
curhng around Il. ! learn from the deed
which the owner OF the cemetery gave
me that neither myself nor descendants
can sell this lot or even give 1t away. He
binds you 10 keep your lot in order. but
you must hire the lsborers OF the cemetery
to do II. and then you must pay the secre-
tary. You are forced to pay an assess
ment Of $500 per year ION the aforesaid
