Oak Lawn Cemetery Lot owners.

We the Ladies and gentlemen Board
of Trustees, still being desirous of con
tinuing the work of improving and beau
tifying the last resting place of our de-
parted friends, ask you, one and all,
should you object to this work going on
in such manner as the trustees may see
fit to prescribe, will you please report
such objection to the Superintendent or
Trustees of the Cemetery.
In all cemeteries everything done
should be toward the adornment of the
grounds as whole. Our aim is to see
see the Cemetery more beautiful. to do
this, lot owners must learn TWO things,
namely all cannot direct in landscape
work, and all can not plant as they
they choose and have good results. Bet
ter let our completely studied plan gov
ern the work, for this alone will make
harmony and beauty of landscape.
Have you ever thought how park or
cemetery would look if the lot owners
were left to plant as they chose. and lay
out their avenues, grades and drives to
suit themselves? A partial reconstruc-
of the public grounds has been accom-.
plished. The unsightly mounds have
been leveled- the section raised to grade,
and numbered lot marks have been pla-
ced to upwards of fifty lots. The grounds
have been partially dressed and seeded,
and will hereafter present beautiful
lawn appearance, instead of barren and
apparently forgotten portion of the land
scape. A very large portion of the old
lots and graves many of them had been
sadly neglected in previous years-have
been cared for during the past few years.
A reviving interest on the part of pro-
prietors and heirs to lots have developed
desire to co operate with the Board in
its efforts to improve the cemetery and
grounds.
Carefully prepared rules and regula-
fions governing all work have been made
and we hope and believe we will receive
the hearty approval of all interested.

The real question to be decided in
the vote upon electric light plant is
whether the public shall own it and
pay for it but once, or whether it shall
be paid for by taxes levied upon the
city for it's use, full payment therefor
being made every four or five years to
some enterprislng individual or COM
pany. If an electric light plant is put
in, the public has got to pay for it.
The question is whether they will pay
for it and own it., or whether they
will pay for 1t and let the plant belong
to private individual or company,
which will exact price for its use
that will compell the city to pay for 1t
every four or five years.

still unsettled, are then arranged, as

When to-days meeting came TO
close practically all the differences be-
tween the two houses had been adjusted
except those on the tobacco schedule
and the coinage of the silver seignorage,
though there were some points still 10 De
settled with reference 20 the proposed
issue OF bonds and certificates Of indcbt-
edness The settlement so far obtained
Is substantial victory for the Senate.
Practically all Of the Senate amendments
in phraseology and penalties have been
retained as have also a large majority oil
the Senates more material changes.
Among the most llNppl tduN W tti' 81
which the report will show. have been
agreed to by the conferees are those pro-
viding for a tax on inheritance for a
duty on tea and for taxes on sleeping
and palace cars. petroleum and sugar
refining. on mixed Hour and on bankers,
brokers. theatres, circuses. etc. All these
provisions which were inserted by the
Senate are retained in practically the
language of the Senate amendments
The Senate bond provision has been
modified SO as 10 constitute compromise
with the House.
The most material alteration made in
this amendment is one fixing the amount
of bonds at 500 900, 900 instead OF SjVO'VV'
900 as agreed upon by the senate anu
400 900 600 as proposed by the House.
There has also been some change in the
general phraseology OF this provision.
The provision in regard 10 time certih-
Gates also will be amended. but the
amount which was 500 100000 IN both the
senate and House bills will remain at
that figure The changes Will be or a
character making the proposed loan more
Immediately available, by doing away
with the requirements for advertising. IL
will also be made clear that this loan IS
intended for merely temporary purposes.
Among the Senate amendments which
probably Will go out, are those providing
for tax upon receipts above hve dollars
and for a tax on insurance agents as
well as the Chiffon amendment extending
the provisions Of the proprietary medi-
cine schedule 10 all manufactured artl-
cies.
There will also be general reduction
from the Senate rates fixed upon pro-
prlctary medicines. The tobacco sche-
dule is proving TO be one OF the most
difficult with which the committee mas
to deal. The two points In dispute are
the size of packages Of manufactured to-
oscco. and the House provision. making
