More Work To Be Done
A fair sized crew turned out to
work on the cemetery Friday and did
fine job as far as they went, but
there weren't enough tractors avail
able on that day to finish the work.
The work should be finished this fall
and for that reason the board has
decided to have a work day again to-
morrow, Friday, August 27.
The main project is to level off the
west part of the cemetery so as to
make that portion into desirable lots
instead of dumping ground. This
can be done if enough with tractors
will respond to this call. There is
ample room for three or four tractors
to work. If you can't run your tractor
there all day the committee would ap-
preciate two or three hours work
either in the forenoon or afternoon.
Bring plow or scraper if you have
such.
There will also be work for a num-
ber of men at digging out stones, etc.
Lot markers should also be put in.
There is some grass to cut, some rub
bish to burn, and some stones to move.
