PARK AND CEMETERY. 
River Cliff Cemetery, Mt. Gilead, 
O., had a fire on the 18th of January, 
destroying a toolhouse with tools, 
mowers, canvases, etc., causing a loss 
of about $150.00. A new house will 
be built at once. 
FROM THE ANNUAL REPORTS 
The annual reports of J. C. Cline, 
superintendent of Woodland Ceme- 
tery, Dayton, O., notes many perma- 
nent improvements including con- 
struction of concrete curb and gut- 
ters, regrading of roads, and exten- 
sion of storm water sewers. There 
were built 342 feet of concrete curb 
and gutter. A new roadway was laid 
out and the work of grading it well 
advanced. There were 931 interments 
during the year, making a total of 30,- 
784. 
Superintendent Mayberry of the 
Cemetery department of Lowell, 
Mass., reports that his department 
closed the year with a surplus of 
$987.78 to its credit, it being the first 
full year the new board of trustees 
and superintendent were in charge. 
The total receipts were $8,510.60; ex- 
penditures $7,522.28. In 1907, with the 
present administration in charge dur- 
ing the last seven months of the year, 
the receipts were $8,261.01, expendi- 
tures $8,173.73. There were 37 addi- 
tions to the perpetual care fund which 
now amounts to $56,575. 
The annual report of the City Cem- 
etery Commission of Atlanta, Ga., 
Col. William S. Thomson, chairman, 
shows that during the year just closed 
the total appropriation made for the 
care and maintenance of Oakland 
Cemetery was $17,450, of which 
amount $40.74 remains unexpended. 
The $3,829.10 earned by the cemetery, 
deducted from the appropriation of 
$17,450, shows that it cost the city 
$13,610.16 to maintain Oakland; $6,- 
375 of this was for permanent im- 
provements. 
The report states that when the 
commission took charge a little over 
a year ago “the cemetery was a dis- 
grace to our civilization : as it is, it 
compares favorably with that style of 
cemeteries wherever found.’’ 
The report deplores the fact that 
Sunday funerals were not stopped by 
council. Council is asked to appro- 
priate to the cemetery commission 
for 1909 $20,100. 
The annual report of Frank D. Wil- 
lis, secretary and superintendent of 
Oakland Cemetery, St. Paul, Minn., 
schedules receipts of $53,366, includ- 
ing the following items: Sale of lots, 
$17,618; greenhouse' sales, $6,115; per-
