Settle Cemetery Matter

The excitement among those owning lots in the Brighton cemetery caused by the disclosure that they might lose their deeds was quieted this week by the attorneys employed by the citizens of Brighton to investigate the matter. It Is alleged that the corporation own ing the cemetery was selling the lots on the installment plan, having made a contract with the party that they had purchased the property from that as the payments were completed they in turn would pay 66 2-3 per cent on the dollar their price, until s1O,00o had been turned in. for the cemetery.
