venicnccs they could possibly wish for
with large covered way TO protect them
from the rain and sun and afford them
comfortable resting place without crowd
ing the supcrinfendcnts Office. il also
gives tho superintendent a private office
and moro room 600 the main office. which
the increase of business IN his gepart-
ment renders absolutely necessary. as

she duty 10 perform that he had when

written report to the president every
week and TO keep such records Of his

Of The late I8I0r Lewis Ginter and after
Dc completion of the work the grounds

This mausoleum. when completed. viii
D. very imposing structure. 36 feet high
and very ornamental. This VIII be an
other very attractive feature In that al
ready beautiful part OF the cemetery. and
the height asd ioCltion viii give to prom
inouce even from the south side Of the
river.
Dr Cray will also add 10 the appear
ancc OF the river front by erecting fine
granite vault ON the same avenue.
In order 90 meet demand for cheaper
lots than any We have had recently. your
Executive Committee have reclaimed
piece OF ground in the northwestern part
Of the cemetery bordering on the Clarke
Spring property. which. mp 10 the time
We commenced working on IL was worth
less for this purpose on account Of being
zoo low and damp for graves, but we
have. at a cost ~ about two hundred and
hity dollars. paid FOR UNDERTAKING. ana

-hlrty-siX lots that are very desirable Tor

company when sofa. ab0u. tw 1tY-e'shi

of class of good people who wish their
families TO be buried i'm Hollywood. but
cannot afford or are unable 10 purchase

We have other sections along this line
shat can be made available FOR good lots
bv the same process. and your commit
tee will deal with them at the proper
time. they being ia Che habit of doing
this work when necessity requires H.
Our recent advertisement calling at
icntiOn OF the stockholders TO the de-
STABILITY of having their lots under the
perpetual care Of the company mas
brought in many inquiries and several
persons have turned their lots over 10 US
some FOR annual and some for perpetual
care. and We have reason 10 hope that
the work so well started will continue
uutIl we have The entire cemetery under
our charge. We have al present about
Elk hundred and twenty-five lots for an
nual and thirty-siN for perpetual care.
LOTS NEGLECTED.
I am sure. as I have often said before,
that all those who feel am interest in the
cemetery would be better satisfied If
every lot owner would turn their lots
over 90 the superintendent. 10 be cared
for bv the company We often order
grass and weeds 20 be cut out OF some
lots a. our own expense rather than
leave them in such an unsghuy condi-
tlon. There are lots in your cemetery
owned by people who are ga afiluent cir
cumstauces that never have the slightest
attention paid Go them. and they obso-
1utcIv mar the appearance OF everything
around them. We desire 20 see the whole
cemetcrv have q clean. uniform appear
snce. and We earnestly appeal 10 the
Dot owners TO assist US in accomplishing
fhis object
we ind that the slate graves intro
durc8 bv the order OF your board OF dlrec-
tor. have met with great favor. ana
have no doubt that in the course OF times
tbev Will entirely supersede the brick
Graves they being much cheaper occupy
less space and answer the same purpose.
They are always kept on hand and ready
al a moments notice.

the president as a portion of my report TO

sccolnt OF an the transactions that were

entlously say that he has discharged MS
