whereby they are authorized to expend
one hundred dollars In renovating and re-
pairing the old public burying ground.
1t is hoped that good beginning toward
the enlargement and identifying of the
resting places Of the fathers and their
families has been made, and that further
proper and necessary steps will be taken
so that the two burial places, so near to-
gether, shall become one beautiful, har-
monious whole by the expenditure of a
comparatively little time, money and la
Dor as much needed auxiliaries to unex-
celled natural position and adjuncts. Then
the spot shall be no longer an eye-sore to
residents and distressing mental picture
to absent friends, but shall become a
pleasing, even an inviting, objective point
to all concerned. .--..... ..
