new committee launched into the
work. Mr.. Walker has been secretary
to the republican town committee for
many years. William Rodger, Oren
Is. Bates, w. A. Fuller, James McPher-
son and A. S. Fuller.
Who will be the chairman is an i'm
portant question. Oren B. Bates has
enjoyed q large amount of experience
in politics. He stands close to the men
who have recently taken control of the
interests of the party, but it would be
too much to say positively that he will
be the choice Of the committee for
chairman. II is understood that two
designations from the committee are
to be received from members who are
too busy, as they believe, to perform
the duties of the position.

Harold Parker, who is chief engineer
for the St. Johns cemetery corpora
ton, has completed the maps and
charts that will be use in removing the
bodies from the old St. Johns cemetery
to the new. The plan is invented by
Mr. Parkhurst. 1t is very complete.
1t is difficult to see how an error can
arise under it, The cemetery, as has
already been said, is mapped into about
1000 plots. These plots are grouped by
sections and each section is numbered.
So is each plot in each section. These
section maps will be mounted and Civ
en- to the inspectors. one inspector
will have charge of the work in the old
cemetery and one in the new.
When a grave is opened in any plot,
the precise loca alton of the grave will
be marked in its PLACE on the map
The maps are drawn to the scale of
one inch to five feet, and there is room
enough to mark in each grave plainly.
AS the bodies are taken from the
graves they will be enclosed in new
boxes. The box Will be marked with
the number of the section, the number
OF the plot and the number of the
grave.
