deeds to tomb owners who have
bought Crypts in the second unit.

states, $40 for each of the 224

that his company felt II unnec-
essary to enter into further
agreement with the city.

who witnessed the removal of
three bodies this morning from
the first unit to the second unit
expressed themselves well pleas
ed with the maintenance of the

ner city attorney. according 10 de
cision made 10y the city council las

built, the sum Of SO was to be pail
TO the city for each crypt. This am
