citation and the Costs Charged to the
Owners Work Now Under Way viii be
Done Without Cost.

: The association in charge of the
Alpine cemetory is making desperate
effort to improve tile appearance OF
the lots there. Some of them, it is
said, have not received attention for
teu or fifteen years and as a result
they look llko Wilderness. Their ap-
D ,arance spoils the whole cemetery.
At the last meeting of the assucia-
lion IL was decided to hire men to
olean out these lots and to put the
graves in some sort of shape. These
men are now at work and every plct
in the cemetery that needs attention
will be given it.
. G. Garretson, the secretary of the
association, said this morning that
this time it would not cost tho people
who own the plots anything to have
them trimmed up. hut once the WORK
is completed and the owners do not
keep the plots in order, the cemetery
people will do it AMI levy tax on
every owner whose plot mad to be at
tended to. Mr.. Garretson said it was a
shame the way some of the graves had
been neglected until they looked more
like brush heaps Some OF these
graves, he declared, are in the plots
of we'll kno wn local people who could
easily afford to pay the little that il
W uld cost to keep them in order.

denying the application holds that the
