west L street district in regard to the
proposal of certain parties to place GEM

city generally. The resolutions follow:
Whereas, 1t has come to the knowledge
Of persons here assembled and to the Gt-
Zens of the west l. street community that
certain persons intend to establish a grave

and would also have tendency to keep
part Of the city and IL would be menace

Answer to Resolution.
To the Editor Of The Omaha Bee: We
trust you will grant US a little space in
your paper to answer a controversy into
which we have been drawn in relation TO
the new cemetery that we are establishing
for the people OF South Omaha.
It seems to us that the compliments are
iaboring under the erroneous impression as
to what we are attempting 70 do. When
the first mention was made in the press
Sunday, we took the trouble to circulate
the following worded petition;
ITO Whom It May Concern
1--WE the undersigned, residents Of the
west side and owners OF property ada
cent thereto, hereby signify and proclaim
that we are not opposed to the establishing
OF Graceland Park cemetery"
This petition was signed by all the res
idcnts whose homes front on Forty fourth
street from L street to Q street
We believe these are among the people
most directly interested by the establish
ing Of the cemetery.
Another impression we wish to correct
is that all the land We have acquired Is
situated outside OF the city limits OF South
Omaha.
In the near future we will take pleasure
IN announcing to the public our complete
plans. We also respectfully invite the peo-
pie Of South Omaha to visit our grounds
and see the work now in progress
