Fund $1,000.

The annual meeting OF the Westfield
Cemetery association was held in the
cftice Of the secretary, Attorney Arthur
G. Bill. Tuesday evening. Reports for
the year 1911 were presented and Of
ficers elected for the ensuing year.
The report Of the treasurer Nathan
D. Prince, showed that the associa-
ton is in good financial standing, the
perpetual care fund amounting to
about $4,000. and the general fund to
about $1,000. this latter fund accru-
ing principally from the sale of lots
The income from the fund is used in
making general improvements about
the cemetery and in identifying the
grounds,
An Improvement made with money
from this fund during 1911 was the in
slallation of a 5-horsepoWer gasoline
engine for use in pumping water from
the Quinebaug river, skirting the GEM
eteTy, and insures an adequate sup
ply for all cemetery purposes during
drought periods in summer The in
stallation of this engine causing an
extraordinary expenditure, the receipts
of the association during the past
year were somewhat exceeded by the
expenses,
The treasurer's report shows that
advantage of the perpetual care of
let's plan Of the association and the
fund used for this purpose is con-
stantly increasing. According to the
size of the plot to be cared for, the
payments for perpetual care are $50
or 500, and may be more. The grow
ing number Of lots cared for under
this fund makes the cemetery more
beautiful each year, fact that is
coming to be more and more appreci-
atcd.
All Of the associations funds, with
the exception of 81, 500 loaned the town
of Killingly, the reports show, are
invested in Connecticut savings banks.
Those Interested in the cemetery
and knowing of the amount of pains
taking detail work that its administra-
ton and supervision entail are appre-
cist1ve Of the management given by
tbs associations officers.
