The old Cemetery Matter Revived

AS was expected the Star comes
out with two articles from certain
parties taking up the old cemetery
matter. One attacks the council on
pest house, one mans town and
monopoly. The other, bad faith and
bribery.
1t is much better to the community
that the truth be known, than to have
the old cemetery enlarged under the
hat, the citizens not knowing what is
going on, nor even the common coun-
Gil until it too late to stop it,
A resolution in 1893 was passed by a
our opponent says, "wise men they
were prohibiting the enlarging of the
old cemetery" The old cemetery
contains one acre only of ground, and
it is all filed up with graves. In 1893
the common council, composed of the
same wise men, voted to accept the
gift of one acre of ground in the new
cemetery, the land high and dry to be
owned by the city, and not mon
opoly, but where anyone could get a
lot for burial purposes. 1t seems
| foolish after this was done to ever
think of enlarging an acre one-half
mile away in thickly settled part of
a fast growing city, when one mile
away is land just as good, and no
menace to health hereafter.
Now in this"one mans town, (which
is better than no mans town, our city
is growing, factories being built,
houses going up From what source
it grows the people are the best Judge.
Property has advanced in value
double to each property owner to what
| il was fourteen years ago.
Now if the people are content to see
our city remain at its present size and
never grow, let's have a cemetery
where the old one is But the city is
| going to grow, we have every reason
to believe, and each one of our citi-
zens is going to help build it up and
not tear down. and for the best in
| terests of our city, the city author
tiles should insist that the old Gene
terry is not enlarged, and that the acre
of ground in the new cemetery donat-
ed in 1893 be beautilied and from now
on used, which would not be a monop-
oily as our opponent saws. II.
