85 CEMETERY TRUST FUNDS
In 1902 the first Cemetery Trust Fund of $200 for the Mary Janes lot was accepted, the Town voting to pay 2% interest on same which was done until 1923.
In 1904 the Town voted to accept Cemetery Trust Funds and pay 4% interest which was done until 1923 with exception of the Mary Janes lot which was con- tinued at 2% .
All Cemetery Trust Funds were deposited in one lump sum in the Cape Cod Five Cent Savings Bank until April, 1923, when the Town Treasurer withdrew them and re-invested them in same Institution, taking out a separate Bank Book for each Fund.
The unexpended interest due each lot was computed, the Selectmen drew an order for $77.65 to balance in- terest withdrawn but not expended, and that with un- expended interest in Savings Bank was apportioned to the different Lots in such amounts as were due them. Some lots having a considerable amount unexpended, while others had none.
Beginning with May 1, 1923 it is the purpose of the Town to allow each Cemetery Trust Fund to stand by itself. The interest on each fund to be paid out yearly or allowed to accrue for future use as may be judged best. From this date, May 1, 1923 the 4% arrangement will be discontinued to conform with present laws in re- gard to trust funds, and each fund will benefit to exact amount of revenue from investment-neither more nor less.
