Our budget did permit the repair and replacement of rusted-out fence rails in the Harwich center cemetery and at the M. E. church cemetery in East Harwich and these re- paired fences were painted with an aluminum paint contain- ing a rust inhibitor. Some dead trees were removed and the usual amount of debris gathered up and carted away. Some small areas were filled, graded and seeded and one area which was very rough was gone over with a Graverley mower loaned this department by the Park department, and then maintained with equipment of this department.
In view of the increase of cost of competent labor and the tedious type of work involved in maintaining our ceme- teries in the proper manner, a small increase in the amount of $500. is requested in presenting our budget for the year 1959.
