PARK AND CEMETERY 
Automobiles are now prohibited in 
Evergreen Cemetery, Leominster, 
Mass., on account of the injury to 
the roads and paths and the careless- 
ness of those running them. Some 
very harsh criticism has been made 
and complaints lodged against the 
drivers of these vehicles, the result 
being that they are now excluded.

An interesting way of keeping lot 
owners interested in their cemetery 
and of gaining interest from others is 
b}' photo postal cards. Such cards 
have been received from Mr. A. M. 
Gingling, Superintendent Fairview 
Cemetery, Altoona, Pa.

The trustees of Pine Hill Cemetery, 
Westfield, Mass., have concluded a de- 
posit of $100 must be made to insure 
perpetual care of lots not exceeding 
20 feet front. 
FROM CEMETERY REPORTS 
The first annual report of the 
Board of Park Commissioners, Di- 
' vision of Cemeteries, of Hartford, 
Conn., for the year ending March 31, 
1909, makes an interesting pamphlet. 
Hartford cemeteries were transferred 
to the Board of Park Commissioners, 
taking effect April 1, 1908, and the re- 
port includes some very interesting 
details pertaining to the four ceme- 
teries now in their care, amounting 
in area to 43.55 acres. The perpetual 
care proposition is well considered 
and discussed as a duty of the city 
to preserve them in so far as private 
funds cannot be secured for the older 
lots. The deposit required for per- 
petual care ranges from $60 for lots 
10x20 to $120 for those 20x20. The 
introduction concludes with the state- 
ment : “It is possible for our ceme- 
teries to have a positive influence for 
good in the development of Hartford.’’ 
The total receipts for the year 
amounted to $7,876.79, and the ex- 
penditures for the maintenance of 
the cemeteries were $6,632.02. The 
report also includes a list of persons 
connected with the administration of 
cemeteries; city ordinance: abstract 
of records; town votes from 1799, and 
other official records. 
The annual report of Wyuka Ceme- 
tery, Lincoln, Neb., shows a very sat- 
isfactory condition. The receipts from 
all sources for the year ending May 
31, 1909, were $29,678.94, which in- 
cluded: Lot sales, $12,637.50; per- 
petual care, $4,742.59; graves, $4,646; 
care of lots, $1,367.25; and green- 
house, $1,662.85. The total expenses 
amounted to $11,731.02. The resources, 
according to the public accountant.
