REPORT OF COMMISSIONERS OF CEMETERIES, ROBBINS FUND, SOLDIERS' MONUMENT FUND AND SAMUEL C. BUCKMAN FUND.
ARLINGTON, January 20, 1912.
The Commissioners of Cemeteries, Soldiers' Monument Fund, Robbins Fund and Samuel C. Buckman Fund herewith submit their report for the year ending December 31, 1911.
The large increase in the sale of single graves and three and four grave lots during the past few years made it necessary during the past year to grade and lay out two new sections in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery. The Commissioners accordingly, at the November Town Meeting, asked for and received an additional appropriation of $5000.00 for this purpose. A contract was made with Michael Kelly for this work and the work is expected to be completed the coming spring. With the completion of these two plots a suffi- cient number of lots and single graves will be provided to meet the requirements for some few years.
