etc., $41,863.94; new grounds, $23,-

At the annual meeting of the New 
London, Conn., Cemetery Associa- 
tion, the president, Mr. F. S. New- 
comb, in his report paid special at- 
tention to the question of the care 
of mausoleums and recommended 
that “no mausoleum shall be permit- 
ted to be erected unless satisfactory 
provision be first made for perpetual 
care.” Another recommendation was 
that the minimum depth for heavy 
foundations be not less than six feet 
and’ as much more as the nature of 
the ground demands to make suitable 
and permanent foundation work.” 
The fourteenth annual report of 
the Board of Cemetery Commission- 
ers of New Bedford, Mass., for 1908, 
"on the four cemeteries and green- 
house under its management shows 
expenditures of $39,696.45. The Board 
recognize the necessity of progress 
in the modern cemetery and are ear-' 
nest in their appeal for more public 
interest and more funds to properly 
care for the properties, and yet are 
confident that the grounds were 
never in better condition, but larger 
appropriations are actually needed 
to maintain this condition. A special 
appeal is also made for perpetual 
care, and that lot owners should see 
to it that the sum deposited should 
be large enough to provide sufficient 
income to properly care for their lots, 
monuments, etc. Gratifying results 
of the Board’s efforts are very ap- 
parent. The fund now amounts to 
$124,708.63, and 1,193 lots are receiv- 
ing perpetual care. 
The report of the Board of Trus- 
tees of the Green-Wood Cemetery, 
Brooklyn, for the year 1908 gives 
some interesting details of the busi- 
ness of a large cemetery. The re- 
ceipts from the sale of lots were 
“HERBICIDE”
