PERSONAL 
Richard W. Perrott, of Newburgh, 
■N. Y., has been appointed superin- 
tendent of the Rural Cemetery in 
Fishkill village near that city. 
The annual carnation display of the 
Chicago Horticultural Society was 
held at the Art Institute in that city. 
January 14, and a representative and 
interesting showing was made. W. 
N. Rudd, Leonard Kill, and L. Coates- 
worth were the committee in charge 
of the exhibit. 
The Grand Rapids public library. 
Grand Rapids, Mich., conducted this 
winter a very interesting series of lec- 
tures on “How the City Spends Your 
Money,” intended to acquaint the citi- 
zens with the work of the various 
departments of the city government. 
There were eight lectures, the park 
and cemetery boards, as has already 
been noted in these pages, being rep- 
resented respectively by Eugene V. 
Goebel and W. L. Cukerski.
