TOWN OF WAYLAND
Cemetery Commissioners
The money appropriated by the town for the care of its cemeteries for the year has been expended judiciously and the general appearance of all three of the cemeteries has been fairly good.
With the valuable assistance of Mr. Frederick W. Eaton, our representative in the Legislature, an act was passed and approved, March 29, 1913, whereby the commissioners re- ceived from the Commonwealth the sum of four hundred dollars, for the improvement and perpetual care of the burial place of Charles Holbrook, who died without heirs in 1886, and whose estate became the property of the Commonwealth. The lot which had been entirely neglected, has been thoroughly repaired and put in first class condition, with new foundations for curbing and head stone, and the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars for perpetual care has been invested with the other cemetery funds. Since our last annual report, the town has received a gift of one hundred dollars for a fund. This makes a total of eighteen funds, incomes from which are for .
perpetual care of lots, amounting in the aggregate to twenty- five hundred dollars.
The above case of Mr. Holbrook's lot, illustrates how soon, without care, lots become dilapidated, and to the thoughtful should be an incentive to make provision for perpetual care of their lots.
Appended is statement showing balances held subject to order of the Commissioners on February 28, 1914.
