CEMETERY COMMITTEE.
The Cemetery Committee herewith submit their report with statement of receipts and expenditures for the year ending January 1, 1899.
The usual work on the grounds and avenues has been done, the cemetery well kept and needed improvements made.
The land on the easterly side of Central Avenue and southerly side of Walnut Avenue has been carefully plotted by E. Worthington, C.E., thus providing a large increase of lots for future sales.
Your committee would recommend an appropriation of $300.00, and the proceeds from the sale of lots, be made for the care of the cemetery for the coming year.
