REPORT OF THE
COMMISSIONERS OF HOPE CEMETERY.
To His Honor, the Mayor, and the City Council:
The Commissioners of Hope Cemetery in obedience to the requisitions of the Act of the Legislature of Massachusetts, and of the ordinances of the City Council, very respectfully, submit their Eleventh Annual
REPORT.
This year completes the first decade of years in the history of Hope Cemetery, under the care, supervision, and manage- ment of Commissioners; the act of the Legislature, estab- lishing the Commission, bearing date the 24th of April, 1854. In January last the Commissioners met at the office of Gov- ernor Lincoln and organized by making choice unanimously, of Hon. Levi Lincoln for President, Albert Tolman, Esq. for Secretary and Treasurer, and Albert Curtis, Esq. for Superin- tendent of the grounds.
The Secretary then presented to the Board the following very important, wise, and judicious order of the City Council.
"In City Council, April 27, 1863.
Ordered, That the City Treasurer be, and he is, hereby directed, to close the Hope Cemetery Lot account, so called,
149
as the same stood on the first day of January last, that all sums of money received for the sale of lots since said first day of January, or that shall be hereafter received, be credit- ed to the Hope Cemetery account, and be set apart as a fund for the support, maintenance and improvement of the same, and that all appropriations hereafter to be made by the City Council for Hope Cemetery be drawn from, and charged to, said fund, so long as the same is sufficient for said purpose." This order is very important to make this necropolis, by the ornaments of art and taste, a place of sepulture, highly hon- orable to the forecast and wisdom of the City Council, and gratifying to all those who have, or shall hereafter deposit the remains of loved ones within the Inclosure. By the operation of this order there is now in the hands of the City Treasurer $2,086.71 to the credit of the Cemetery fund. Persons pur- chasing Lots, do it more cheerfully and at increased prices, feeling that whatever they pay, will be sacredly devoted to the improvement of the grounds.
The Commissioners are making arrangements, and have now on hand a portion of the materials, for constructing a substantial fence on the south side of the Cemetery Lot, where there has been heretofore little or no protection to the grounds. This part of the land, as also the adjoining lands, are covered with wood, and there was less occasion for imme- diate inclosure-when this is completed the grounds will be fully enclosed. This work will be accomplished during the present season.
The funds in the City Treasury, set apart for the use of the Cemetery, have been allowed to accumulate, for the purpose of enabling the commissioners, at no distant day, to construct
20
150
a permanent fence in front of the Cemetery, and an entrance which shall be in harmony with the spot, rendered so attrac- tive by nature and art. Hope Cemetery is about two miles from the populous part of the city and contains more than fifty acres of land which is all within the limits of the city. The irregularity of the ground, and its various picturesqe undulations, impart a character to its appearance, and grand- eur of landscape, which art and taste could not easily effect. During the past year the avenues, pathways, and courts, have been kept in order, and the grounds ornamented with trees and shrubbery. Sections of land have been graded, surveyed and laid into lots, the values fixed and certified to the city Treasurer, and plans made of the same. The abruptness of Several of the avenues has been much improved by lessening the grade.
For the improvements made upon the grounds as appears by the statement of the Treasurer, there has been paid Janu- ary Ist, 1865, - - -
$577 59
The Financial statement of the Cemetery fund is as follows :
Balance in the Treasury to the credit of
Cemetery fund January 1st, 1864, -
$557 59
69 Burial Lots sold for, - 1033 00 -
Wood sold from Cemetery grounds, - 84 91
$2664 30
DISBURSEMENTS.
Stamps for Deeds, - - - 15 00
Paid Gill Valentine for surveying
and staking out Lots, -
- 40 25
151
Expended by Mr. Curtis the Superintendent
under the directions of the Commissioners, 522 34
Total Expenditures for the year 1864, 577 59
Deducting this sum of $577 59 from the
$2664 30 leaves the balance to the credit
of the Cemetery fund, Jan. 1, 1865 of $2086 71
The Commissioners respectfully ask the City Council to make an appropriation from this fund of $800 in order to enable them to errect a suitable fence on the south side of the Lot, and for making necessary repairs of the roads, avenues and paths- and for the general improvement of the grounds.
