An order was presented by Alderman
Marley authorizing and instructing the
mayor and chairman of the committee
on burying grounds to contract for the
purchase of land for the enlargement of
Mt. Pleasant cemetery, at a price not
exceeding $500. This order passed the
board of aldermen, but when it reached
the common council it was there tabled,
on motion of Councilman Harrington.
Subsequently, the council refused to
concur in its passage and the upper
board reCeded and concurred in that ac-
ton.
Some doubt existed in the minds of
members as to the wisdom of purchas-
ing % acres of the Leonard farm, which
adjoins the cemetery on the west and
it was thought best to defer such action
until later.
AS Il consequence, the report of the
committee on finance, recommending
partial appropriation bill to cover cur
rent and pressing needs of the city,
was amended by striking out the sum
of $4,000 for cemeteries and inserting in
it's place the sum of $500. The bill, as
amended was then passed in concur
renee, as follows:
