 Number of Burials Falls OH
 There were fewer interments in the cemetery during the past fiscal year than in many years, it was disclosed by the report of Luther M. Keith, su- perintendent. In all fifty-one bodies were laid at rest. The average for previous years was about seventy, and the number has gone as high as ninety. What is true this past year of the local cemetery, is also true with many other cemeteries throughout the country.
 The trustees are pleased with the progress that has been made on the construction of the Tourtellotte Me morial Chapel. which when completed will not have it's superior in New Eng land But the development Of the landscape design, surrounding the new chapel. is one thing that IS worrying the trustees, for they have no funds to carry the work to completion. Among themselves they raised about s5OO to begin the work when spring arrives, and they hope to secure some more from other sources.
 Trustees Have Problems
 Making the landscape plan q real ity. thus placing the chapel in hand some surroundings, Is one problem for the trustees. and another is the main tenanee of the truly handsome park that will have been developed when all plans have been carried out. They , SAY ...at .se interest of S5.eOo will maintain the park. and they are hop. ing that some interested person will make such gift for such a purpose. If the donor does not object, the park will be named after him or her, as the case may be.
 The trustees are also seeking some one willing to donate S5,0O0 for the purpose of walling up Kings pond, which is at the rear of the chapel, and otherwise making the pond attractive, including walks around the body of water. There are big possibilities of making the pond big scenic feature of this section of the cemetery. The trustees stand ready to name the pond after whoever comes forward with the donation needed to carry the work to a completino. Such donation would h5e doing q large service in helping to create a beauty spot adjacent to the sacred soil in which are or will be bur jed the remains of their loved ones.
