Putnam Cemetery Association Meets

The annual meeting of the Putnam Cemetery Association was held in the city court room Saturday morning. Of ficers were elected as follows:
 President, l.. H. Fuller. Vice president, C. Dwight Sharpe.
 Secretary and treasurer, Newton A. Ballard.
 Trustees for three years, Eugene A. Wheelock, John o Fox. Committee on trusts fund, Charles w. Bradway, David k. Clark.
 Auditors of trust accounts, Charles W. Bradway, Luther Nj. Keith. Auditors of general account, John o. Fox, J. Harry Mann.
 The annual reports read at the meet ing were indicative of the fact that 1911 was year of successful manage ment by the association's officers, and also showed an increase in the amount of the trust and general funds. Statistics from the report of Treas urer Ballard, who has so efficiently filled his office for the past decade, showed that the trust committee re- ceived $730 in trust funds during 1911. The total of the trust fund is SIG. 0.476 AS, which is about double the amount that it was ten years ago, showing the ap- preciation of the excellent service given by the association to those lots protect ed under the perpetual care fund.
 The general fund of the association at the beginning of 1911 was 8, 3,275.s7, and at the close of the year was $3,- S50.39, net gain of $574.52. From all sources during 1911 the receipts amounted to $2,s64.3l, the expendi- lures to $2,240.34.
 Supt. l.. M. Keith's report showed that receipts from care of lots, especial ly for the moving of lawns, was less in 1911 than in previous years, this be- ing due principally to the long drought last summer. MT. Keith's report also showed that the burials in Grove street cemetery were less during 1911 than in any other recent year = forty.nine, which, by peculiar coincidence, is the same number of burials in West field cemetery, Danielson, last year. MT. Keith's report showed that IS foundations for monuments were set in the cemetery during 1910.
 An act of the meeting was the pass ing of resolutions paying tribute to the valuable service rendered the asso- citation by Col. G. D. Bates, who died during 1911 while holding the office of president of the association. At the meeting the committee ap- pointed last year on the matter of erecting new chapel and receiving vault was continued.
