To satisfactorily expend the income of the Perpetual Care Trust Funds, which vary in amounts, $50, $75, $100, $150, $200, $250, with one deposit of $500, is a difficult problem. Some of these funds yield as little as $1.47 per year. Those of $100, of which there are many, return about $3 annually. There are now 57 Trust Funds, all of them in- vested in Savings Banks.


Most Perpetual Care Lots need cutting and trimming about 10 times each season. If 30 minutes is consumed each time, the work averages to cost close to $5 per Lot annually. In order to provide the necessary funds through Savings Bank interest, a deposit of $200 is necessary. Ac- cordingly, your Committee has fixed the sum of $200 as the hereafter required amount to be deposited for each Perpetual Care Lot.

To residents of Dublin the cost of a Lot for 4 burials is now $15, for 2 burials $10. Non-resident summer guests will be charged $50 for a 2 or 4 burial Lot, and none shall be sold to out of town applicants who have no affiliation here.


Present owners may have a Deed of their Lot upon payment to the Town of $5. Checks should be made pay- able to the Town of Dublin. A chart of the Cemetery has been made, showing locations, which will be provided with each Deed. The Cemetery is Town property; therefore, all Deeds must be executed by members of the Board of Se- lectmen, bear the signature of witnesses and carry the name of the Town Clerk.


There are many demands for a supply of water for the Cemetery. With this proposal your committee is sympa- thetic but owing to the cost of the proposed fill and grad- ing, together with the somewhat larger appropriation re- quired for maintenance and improvements the current year, we cannot consistently recommend its installation at this time.


The hearse house needs painting and there are half a dozen large stones imbedded in the ground near the main south entrance, dangerous to automobile transmissions, which ought to be removed.


An estimated 5 acres is now included in the Cemetery, to be raked and cleaned of leaves in the spring, and kept mowed and trimmed throughout the summer. A suitable appropriation is needed if this "most beautiful spot in town" is to receive the attention it deserves.


ARNE H. OLSEN, ALBIN K. SCHOEPF, HENRY D. ALLISON, Cemetery Committee.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF CEMETERY-1952


The north entrance gate, decayed and broken, was re- placed with a new one, and the gate at the main entrance on the south side has been repaired and made to shut and fasten.


Undergrowth and bushes at the junction of roads toward the lake were cut and removed. Accumulated rub- bish along the north wall beside the old road, was taken away. Appreciation is extended to Warren Plimpton and his road crew for their cooperation and help.


A card system, alphabetically arranged, listing names and locations of all gravestones in the entire cemetery has been completea.


There are 43 applications on file for Cemetery Lots. Forms have been prepared for the deed of Lots and are now ready for distribution. Residents who made request for Lots previous to 1952, can receive their Deed upon pay- ment to the Town of $5. A newly completed chart of the Cemetery is now available which will be helpful in finding locations. Aluminum markers are planned for each re- served Lot.


The black markers, numbered, now being used in the Cemetery, were originally intended to be placed on burial lots where no gravestone had been erected. In recent years these markers have also been used on Lots Reserved in which there is no burial. This practice is confusing. Vis- itors cannot tell. whether they are looking at a plot in which there is a burial, or if they see simply a Reserved va- cant Lot. It is hoped to correct this custom this coming spring.


62


Fifteen more Perpetual Care markers are needed for Lots now unmarked. Some broken gravestones should be mended and there are many stones which need straight- ening. Decayed trees and broken limbs ought to be cut and removed before they fall and break the stones underneath.


HENRY D. ALLISON, Superintendent.

Dr. Fred S. Piper, who gives annually a book in mem- ory of his father, Jonas Brooks Piper, gave the following two books during the year:


North to the Spring-Teale


Sea Around Us-Carlson


Mrs. Robert Sterling's annual gift of money made it possible to add ten new children's books to the juvenile shelves. One I call to your attention:


Lorant's-Lincoln, Story of His Life (profusely illus- trated).


Eighteen books were the gifts of friends.


During the Bicentennial a book exhibit was held in the library. Fifty-five books, either written or illustrated by former or present Dublin residents, were loaned. As many more books from the library shelves were added to this re- nowned book exhibit. Musical scores by two Dublin com- posers were shown. Various pamphlets and interesting library data, including some of Dublin's earliest books bound in sheepskin, were on display.


Mr. Joseph Close has given to the library a complete tape recording of the speeches of the Bicentennial.


Respectfully submitted, DOROTHY WORCESTER, Librarian.
