Important Changes to be Made at the

The directors OF the Wilmington and
Brandywine cemetery have under con-
sideralion important improvements to
their property. For some weeks En-
gineer I. Chalkley Hattou has been
making surveys and preparing plans for
draining the cemetery and for laying
out the newer portion between the
slope ana the line OF the property along
the park drive in circular drives. Az
TO the drainage it is projected TO drain
the property beginning about the middle
of the older portion. into the Adams
AID Jefferson streets sewers.
In place of square lots in the newer
portion the new plans call for circular
drives, with lots to conform to them.
This is called the lawn arrangement
and il finally adopted will enhance the
beauty of that part of the cemetery.
The directors also contemplate selling
the lots in this section under an ar
rsngement providing for their perpetual
care by the company.
