PARK AND CEMETERY . 
circumstances, but especially in such a 
case as the above. 
In the Casey Cemetery, Casey, 111., 
there now stands a unique form of sol- 
diers’ monument, constructed of con- 
crete blocks with white cement trim- 
mings, and designed and built by Joel 
Weaver, an old soldier, 75 years of age. 
It is a memorial tower in four square, 
diminishing, stories, the lower one be- 
ing 18 feet square and the next above 
]0 feet; the total height is 44 feet. Mr. 
Weaver is treasurer and superintendent 
of two small local cemeteries. 
The problem of the automobile in the 
cemetery is one that is growing in im- 
portance, and to which some attention 
is often given. It is again brought to 
mind by a communication from an of- 
ficial of a rural cemetery in the East, 
wherein he asks this question : 
“Whether automobiles, which are now 
forbidden in the cemetery grounds, 
should be admitted?” We should be 
glad to hear from any cemetery officials 
who have had experience in this direc- 
tion. 
Dr. R. McShea, president Indian Hill 
Cemetery, writing from Chapman, Kas., 
says in relation to the care and man- 
agement of small cemeteries; “We have 
been struggling with that proposition, 
and it is slow progress where we just 
have to rely on our own experience 
from year to year. We have been mak- 
ing some progress, but we would like 
to know what others are doing in this 
line.” 
The Boston, Mass., Cemetery depart- 
ment provided cards giving the principal 
points of information on all the ceme- 
teries for the special accommodation of 
the teachers who attended the National 
Educational convention. 
The following relating to the condition 
of the cemetery at Libertyville, 111., 
might serve as a text for some time to 
come in the local press of innumerable 
country villages and districts : “Iron 
fence rusts in default of much needed 
coat of paint and some of the lots look 
like hay-fields. Drives in fairly good 
shape but general conditions sadly need 
improvement.” 
Vandals recently committed serious 
destruction in the church yard of his- 
toric Grace Episcopal Church, Jamaica, 
Long Island. Some twenty small mon- 
uments and headstones were destroyed, 
some of them wrenched bodily from 
their settings and thrown over. The 
monuments were erected in memory of 
some of the oldest of Jamaica residents. 
A watchman has been set to guard the 
burial ground and the police of the 
Jamaica precinct are trying their best 
to discover the culprits.
