Nice Park.
NO RECORD Of A TRANSFER
Major S. N. Titus Has TAX
en- the Initiative.


Just before the adjournment of
council, Monday evening. Major S. N.
Titus took the floor and addressed
the city fathers, outlining, in the
rough, plan which may later be
carried into execution in one form or
another
Major Titus spoke concerning the
old cemetery which lies just east of
the First Baptist church property on
north State street. He referred to IL
as an cyesore and a hindrance to
the Improvement of that section of
the city and urged that some action
be taken by the city and township to-
gether to remedy the conditions ex-
isting there and to make the cemetery
one of the beauty spots of the city.
For some time Major Titus has been
quietly working on the matter, search
ing the records 10 discover whether
there has ever been formal transfer of
the property to the city, township or
organization for burying purposes lie
stated that he has been unable to
find any transfer whatever of the
the lands. though he has found them
referred to as far back as 1926, where
conveyances OF adjoining properties
have mentioned the boundary lines
as the boundary lines of the lots and
lands conveyed.
There Is a popular impression that
the land was decided to the city by
Eber Baker with the provlso that
should 1t ever cease to be used for
a public burying ground, 1t should re-
vert to the Baker estate, but Major
Titus declares that there is nsthlng
In the records of the county to indi-
cate such transfer or such II con-
dition,
The plan which was outlined in the
rough by Major Titus Is chat the city
and township together shall take
charge of the old cemeteryA give am
pie time for the friends and relatives
of those inferred there TO remove the
remains to some other cemetery then
to erect monument, grade the
cemetery. plNna trees and shrubbery
and make either a park of a play
ground for the children.
Although he stated that he was not
speaking officially. Mr.. Titus stated
that he was sure the township trustees
would Join with the city in defrayinS
the cost of the Improvement.
The matter was not presented to
the council in suA a manner that ac-
tion could be taken and 1t will go
over until such a time as II may
