REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF SOLDIERS' AND SAILORS' LOTS
In making my report on the care of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Lots, I wish to call attention to the condition of the
32
old cemeteries of the town. We have arrived at the point where we must either definitely agree to take no more care of them or the town must expend quite a sum of money in clearing and repairs and fix on some plan for their proper maintenance. .
I have extimated it will cost seventy-five dollars ($75) to clear the stumps and bushes from the cemetery on the bridge road, South of John Nickerson's. Nearly half of the headstones there have either fallen down or sunk and should be replaced on some kind of foundation. Some stones have split and will have to be drilled and dowelled before resetting.
The condition of the cemetery on the State Road north of Charles Rogers' is much the same, except clearing. There are many headstones in both cemeteries having inscriptions "Capt .- ", while some of these may have been soldiers or sailors it seems fair to assume that many of them were captains of sailing vessels and do not come under the juris- diction of the supervisor under this Act.
The foregoing conditions as set forth came to my knowl- edge in seeking to find all the graves which should be taken care of under this act and is brought to the attention of the town for any action they see fit to take at the annual meet- ing.
FRED F. DILL,
Supervisor of Soldiers' and Sailors' Lots.
