rolls which are included in the expenditures 
amounted to $26,603. 
The Fairview Cemetery Association, of 
Galion, O., donated to the Board of Educa- 
tion all of Section No. 3 in Fairview Ceme- 
tery for the purpose of interring bodies 
which are to be removed from Union Green 
Cemetery, where the new high school will 
be erected. The only stipulation is that the 
school board pay 5 cents, per square foot 
for all ground donated, this amount to be 
placed in the fund for the perpetual up- 
keep of the cemetery. 
Members of the Soldiers’ Memorial As- 
sociation, of Minneapolis, Minn., are plan- 
ning to ask the state legislature for an ap- 
propriation to be used for providing an 
adequate monument on the plot of ground 
recently acquired in Lakewood Cemetery, 
that city. The new burial ground in Lake- 
wood has room for 6C0 bodies and already 
2C0 are buried there. The association mem- 
bers believe the plot should be marked by 
a suitable monument, as is the older ground. 
Only bodies of civil war veterans and their 
widows may be buried there. Three hun- 
dred dollars already has been raised toward 
the purchase of a marker for the plot. 
Joseph A. Bennett, of Bridgton, Me., pro- 
poses to offer that town the real estate and 
funds of the Forest Hill Cemetery Asso- 
ciation, all valued at $10,000. Mr. Bennett 
is the sole owner of this property. 
Plans for beautifying the Leslie farm at 
Lorain, O., for cemetery purposes will be 
prepared by H. C. Horvath, of Cleveland.

city. 
Because the Oakland Avenue Cemetery, 
of Elkhart, Ind., is no longer being used 
for burial purposes and is unkept and un- 
sightly, and because no burials have been 
made there for the past ten years, a peti- 
tion requesting that it be removed was pre- 
sented before the members of the City 
Council recently.

The Cover 
The illustration on the cover of this issue 
shows a very effective design of the mass- 
ive post style of cemetery entrance that 
serves as the gateway to Hillcrest Ceme- 
tery, Savannah, Ga. 
This is a rather unusual arrangement, 
with two pairs of drive gates 12-6 wide, 
that gives a very convenient arrangement 
for separating entering and departing car- 
riage traffic. 
The central panel of fencing has been 
given a very interesting treatment by plac- 
Pease, R. D. Sweet, George E. Smith and 
others.

fenden, all of Philadelphia, are the incor- 
porators.

Association, of Monmouth, Ilk, have in- 
creased the upkeep fund l)y adding 10

the name of the cemetery on a metal plate 
in the center. The design of the gates is 
a very simple and dignified pattern that 
combines ornamental effect with thorough- 
ness and strength of construction. The 
gates have an eye and socket hinge ar- 
rangement and are very substantially built 
throughout. 
This entrance is the work of the Stewart
