bui'sements of $12,104.79. The growth 
of the Permanent Care and Improve- 
ment Fund, now amounting to $53,- 
120.49, is very gratifying, the increase 
for the year being $2,455.90. In the 
receipts the sale of lots amounted to 
$4,808; work and interments, $2,578.08, 
and greenhouse, $2,462.10. The wages 
for cemetery wmrk amounted to $3,-

$1,289.20. 
For the first time in the history of 
Owensboro, Ky., a motion has been filed 
for the sale of a cemetery to satisfy its 
indebtedness. To satisfy a claim of 
$15,000, which the defunct Daviess 
County Bank and Trust Company has 
against the property an order of sale 
has been asked for the Elmwood Ceme- 
tery. The motion has not yet been 
granted. 
The remodeled receiving vault of 
Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn, N. Y., 
which was illustrated and described in 
our August, 1909, issue, has been caus- 
ing much trouble from leakage, nearly 
from the time of its completion last 
year. It will be remembered that the 
building is almost underground, being- 
built into a steep side hill, and when 
the reconstruction was planned it was 
decided to make use of the walls of the 
old building, and to this some of the 
officials attribute the trouble. It has 
been determined to adopt radical meas- 
ures to overcome the leakage, and all 
the walls will be bared and then covered 
with a heavy layer of waterproof con- 
crete. A drainage system will be in- 
stalled, both at the rear and front of 
the building to carry off the water, and 
the flat top of the structure which is 
still 12 feet below the level of an adja- 
cent roadwar', will be covered with con- 
crete, so laid as to give it a pitch, and 
with gutters by which the water can 
run off. It is unfortunate that a build- 
ing costing $60,000 should fail so sig- 
nally, but it serves to prove the absolute 
necessit}^ of a thoroughly waterproof 
construction in vault practice under any

By RALPH C. DAVIDSON 
16mo. (534 X 734 inches). 196 pages. 140 illustrations. 
T his work should appeal strongly to all of those interested 
in ornamental concrete as the author has taken up and ex- 
plained in detail in a most practical manner the various 
methods of casting concrete into ornamental shapes. The au- 
thor has taken for granted that the reader knows nothing what- 
ever about the material and has explained each progressive step 
in the various operations throughout in detail. These directions 
have been supplemented with half-tones and line illustrations 
which are so clear that no one can misunderstand them.
