We now sell lots to people who do not have a residence in the town, but the sums received form no fund for the general care of the cemetery. The money is all required to open up the avenues leading to these new lots. We wish to add that no salaried person is connected with the cemetery, and that all service, except that of labor, is done gratuitously.
We send this circular to those only who pay no taxes in the town. We enclose herewith a copy of our by-laws and a form of agreement to be filled out with such a sum as you may be willing to pay yearly, and that it may not be in doubt what would be thought a reasonable amount, we would say that according to our judgment the sum should not be less than one dollar for each lot.
When you may feel obliged to cancel the obligation, the written agreement will be returned to you.
Yours respectfully,
SAMUEL P. SOULE, ELISHA PETERSON, LAURENCE BRADFORD, WILLIAM. J. ALDEN JR. THOMAS ALDEN,
Trustees.
The Trustees would ask for an appropriation of $100 as recommended`and received last year.
The bequest of the late Henry Hathaway of $1000 has not been received, although the time for settling the estate bas long since passed. The committee sent a letter to the exec- utor asking when the amount would be paid. He replied that having lost the money he could not now pay it but hoped he should be able to do so some time in the future.
While the committee have no doubt of the legal liability
40
of the executor they have not the authority or the funds to compel payment or arrest the executor. The interest of the bequest has been paid until this year. Respectfully submitted for the Trustees, SAMUEL P. SOULE, Chairman. ELISHA PETERSON, Secretary.
