1--WE have in the past year cultivated two
sections in the cemetery fronting on New
avenue. This was not done altogether for
profit. but with view of preparing, and
putting 1t in proper condition for lawn
grass, and as soon as this is accomplish
ed, we propose to beautify the section
on the west of the avenue TO such an
extent as TO make ii very attractive
feature in the cemetery. We propose
to place fountain in the centre
ent will. with his usual good taste, beau
tify the entrance and the vale between
the East Vale and West Vale avenues.
The superintendent has done a great deal
of turfng In the cemetery during the
winter months. which will show up well
as the season advances. We have not yet
been able to induce the city to finish the
wall along the line of Cherry street. com
menced by them some time since. In its
present condition IL is a perfect nuisance
to every lot-owner along that line. as il
is not as high as the filling in the street
by about feet. and consequently at
every hard rain the red clay along the
| filling is washed over the wall and over
the lots fronting on that street. The city
| authorities promise to do something in
reference to this matter in the near fu-
] ture.
WON'T PURCHASE CLARKE-SPRING
"The Enclosure separating our grounds
| from the Clarke-SpTing property is N
such a dilapidated condition that we will
be absolutely compelled to have a rev
| fence along the entire line. This VIII
! necessitate an expenditure Of several hun
| dred dollars. but the city may be induced
| TO bear a portion of the expense. We
| have deferred this matter in anticipa-
! ton of the possibility of our purchasing
| this property, but now that your Board
| of Directors have concluded that II is not
! necessary for us to acquire II, we must
| have our grounds properly incloSed at
| once. Your committee continue TO feel
| perfectly satisfied with the working or
the system inaugurated by them for the
| care of lots by the company. We
| have now about seven hundred lots to
care for annually and fifty-three per-
petualy. and even with this large num-
| Der we have had fewer complaints than
| ever before. The present financial condi-
ton of the company is a sufficient qua
rantee of our ability to perform our part
OF the agreement for the perpetual care
| Of lots.
my thanks are due to the officers of
| the company for their uniform courtesy
| and consideration during the past term.
! and / assure them that it has been most
| sincerely appreciated.
The report of the treasurer was also
| submitted and adopted.
