Mount OIiyet Cemetery May Enlarge
Its BounSiaries

Attorney for the District Thomas,
In accordance with a request made
by the District Commissioners some
time ago, has handed them his
opinion in regard to the petition
or George III. y Pollock and others,
residents and property-owners near or
adjacent to Mount Olivet Cemetery, call
ing attention to the act OF Congress of
January %. 1898, regulating cemeteries,
ETC., and suggesting that Mount Olivet
Cemetery was about to extend and en-
large Its boundaries and lay out a new
part thereof, within one mile and a half
of the boundary of the city, and within
200 yards OF several dwellings, and ask
ing that the Commissioners decline to
issue permit therefor.
Mr.. Thomas says: Section /. of the
act of Congress referred TO, provides that
from and after the passage of the act no
persons shall lay out any new cemetery
within the city of Washington. in the
District OF Columbia, nor !n said District
within one mile and a half from the
boundaries of said city, nor within less
than 200 yards of any dwelling house, ex-
cept with the written consent of the
owner, lessee, and occupier of such house,
nor without permit 10 do so from the
Commissioners of the District.
The object of this statute is to prevent
the establishment of new cemeteries
within the prescribed limits. If the land
the Mount Olivet Cemetery proposes 10
lay out for cemetery purposes is within
Its Enclosure and forms part of the ceme-
terry property, then the act of Congress
does not affect it. The statute contem-
plates the establishment of new ceme-
tAria ...oe, f,,tn nInH 70 a
vent an established cemetery from util-
izing its reserved land held for cemetery
purposes.
'My opinion is, If the Mount Olivet
Cemetery Company does not propose to
establish a new cemetery, or to lay out
for cemetery purposes any land not part
of its cemetery. the restrictions of the
act of June %. 1888. do not apply"
The opinion of Attorney Thomas has
been approved by Commissioner Ross
and viii be handed TO Commissioner
Beach for his approval tomorrow.

KNIGHTS TEMPIAR CoNCLAvE.
Elaborate Preparations Are Being
Made for the Event.

Local knights Templar are looking
forward with pleasurabie anticipation
to the twenty-seventh triennial conclave
of the organization, which will be held
at Pittsburg next October. Elaborate
preparations are being made by the sir
knights of the Smoky City for the enter
tainment of their visitors and the Ale
gheny Commandery alone has set apart
the sum of $4,000 for the event
The headquarters of the gathering will
be established in the new music hall of
Carnegie Library. One of the features
of the conclave will be the electrical
decorations which will illuminate the
two cities of Pittsburg and Allegheny.
They will be spectacular in effect, and
probably the finest ever seen at a similar
gathering in this country.
