 The following resolution was intro- duced by o. B. Pinney and was unani- mouly adopted:-
 We, the lot owners of the Stafford Springs Cemetery association, realizing the splendid results wrought by the faithful, efficient and freely given service of our president, Freeman F. Patten, and that we are now doubly indebted to him for his generous gift | of the beautiful entrance, do pass the following resolution: :-
 Resolved, That this association ex- tend to President Patten a vote of ap- preciation and thanks for his labors and gift, and that copy of this reso- lution be spread on the records of the association and printed in The Press. During the year there have been 19 bodies placed in the cemetery, includ- ing the six now in the tomb-1O from the borough, from the town outside of the borough, and from outside the town. There are 94 lots under perpetual care and 80 under perma- nent care, gain of two on the former and ten on the latter over last year. About 30 of the lots have had new lOam and turf placed on them last fall. The improvement along the front of the cemetery will be com pleted this spring. It is proposed to plant barberry hedge along the en- tire street line, besides adding some trees and shrubbery. This, with the handsome entrance and curbing given by F. F. Patten, will add greatly to the appearance of the cemetery, which we are all justly proud of.
