Cemetery District
Urged by Heald
Chamber Meet

The advisability of creating a
cemetery district at the election
called for Dec IA, was outlined
by District Attorney Elmer Heald
before the Wednesday monday
meeting Of the chamber of COM
merce
Heald spoke on a program which
included a representative OF an
airline company interested in aid
ing the establishment of air travel
between FL Centro and Los An
geles.
Heald pictured the adminiStra-
ton, heretofore of Evergreen ceme-
terry as chaotic. He declared that
prosecution of legal action against
the owners, or efforts to unravel
the intricate legal technicalities
pertaining TO the cemetery would
not correct the situation and that
the only method is to vote a dis
trict and handle the cemetery as
a community asset and necessity.
By such means, he said, there
would be three trustees to operate
the district which would be nom
profit in nature. The trustees
would not have power to tax, but
funds needed. if any, must come
from the county board of super
visors, and they are prohibited by
statute from levying more than
two mills per dollar valuation.
He pointed TO BraWley's cemetery
which is owned and operated in
similar manner and pointed out
that this area may have a similar
community asset if the voters will
declare themselves for it.
Hugh Osborne, county supervis-
or from this district. added his
recommendation to that of Heald's
