CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS REPORT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
Each year the Cemetery Commissioners have asked for just what they considered necessary for the proper maintenance of their Department. Each year we have accepted the Finance
[ 70 ]
Yes
1234
Committee recommendation for a reduced amount and each year we have overdrawn our account to approximately the original amount.
Due to the higher cost of labor and materials we again ask for what we feel is a just amount and trust that we do not have to accept an inadequate amount.
We therefore recommend the sum of $4,800.00 be appro- priated in addition to the amount received from the sale of lots, for the maintenance of Vine Lake Cemetery for the year 1951.
Respectfully submitted,
