sistant commissionei' of streets. It is 
expected that this will be the name 
of the office as soon as the new mu- 
nicipal council gets into full running 
order. INIr. Graham was born in Lynn, 
Oct. 27, 1864, and has held various 
city positions in the street and water 
departments. 
For the 26th time Mr. Martin 
Packard was elected superintendent 
of Melrose Cemetery, Brockton, Mass., 
by the burial committee of the city 
government. He first assumed the 
duties of the position when the cem- 
etery land was bought in the spring 
of 1885; at that time there w'as a 
small cemetery, owned by a private 
corporation, located in the center of 
what is now Melrose Cemetery, which 
comprises 60 acres. 
PUBLISHER’S NOTES 
It is conceded by all who know any- 
thing about the treatment of land for 
even the coarser crops, that the 
roller is an essential requisite, and 
that good results follow its’ intelligent 
use, not only in smoothing the land but 
in promoting germination and growth. 
To follow this to the lawn is not a far 
step, and a lawn can be made as smooth 
and velvety, and free from tufts and 
hummocks b}' the free use of a lawn 
roller as one may desire. The Dunham 
Company, Berea, O., whose advertise- 
ment appears in another column, do an 
immense business in the manufacture of 
land rollers, pulverizers and packers for 
all purposes, and a study of their book- 
let on “The Proper Care of Lawns,” 
will afford the reader some useful in- 
formation on this subject. Write to 
them for copy. 
Permanently marking lots and graves 
is always a supreme desire on the part 
of cemetery managers who aim to have 
things right. Cement, terra cotta, gran- 
ite, marble, stone and galvanized iron 
are all used for this purpose and each 
material has its advocates. The Berger 
Manufacturing Co., manufacturers of 
galvanized cast iron grave marks, Cin- 
cinnati, O., report having received a 
large number of inquiries and some good 
sized, orders for spring delivery. These 
orders are from customers that have 
l)Ought galvanized markers in the past 
and evidently implies that they have giv- 
en satisfaction.
