PARK AND CEMETERY.

is. almost impossible to make grass live or 
to mow it properly on mounds; and a 
smooth, unbroken surface is far more 
beautiful. Mounds are not necessary to 
mark the place of interment, as an accurate 
record is kept of every grave. 
Planting within the narrow limits of a 
cemetery lot, so as to avoid overcrowding 
and encroachment on adjoining lots, re- 
quires an intimate knowledge of the habits 
of trees and shrubs, and the size which they 
attain, and it should be done only with the 
approval and under the direction of the 
superintendent. 
Great care should be taken in selecting 
designs for monuments. A monument should 
be designed with reference to its surround- 
ings, consideration being given to the num- 
ber. size and character of other monuments 
standing near it. A good design need cost 
no more, and it may cost less than a bad 
one. Where- a monument is to be placed on 
a lot, headstones, if used at all, should be 
made very low — the lower the better for 
permanence, for the appearance of the lot 
and for the effect of the monument. Lot 
owners are earnestly advised never to dupli- 
cate a monimient already in the cemetery. 
Justice to the owner forbids copying a de- 
sign for which he has paid; and multiply- 
their proper officers, to remove such trees 
or shrubs, or such parts thereof as in their 
judgment are unsightly, detrimental or in- 
convenient; and if any lot, or any structure 
thereon shall, by the absence or neglect of 
the proprietor, become unsightly or incon- 
venient, it shall be the duty of said trustees, 
and they shall have the right by their 
proper officers, to put said lot or structures 
in proper order and repair, and make a 
reasonable charge for the same, or to re- 
move the same from the lot. 
Sec. 6. No vehicle shall proceed at a 
speed exceeding six miles an hour while in 
the cemetery. 
Sec. 8. Tombs or mausoleums may be 
constructed only in such places and in such 
style as shall be approved by the trustees, 
complete plans and specifications of the same 
being furnished to the superintendent on 
application for permission for their con- 
struction, but no bodies shall be placed 
therein except in sealed caskets and in her- 
metically sealed single compartments in a 
manner satisfactory to the superintendent. 
Sec. 9. But one monument will be al- 
lowed upon a lot. and this must be jilaced 
in space reserved for monument as shown on 
plat, unless special permission is given >)y 
the superintendent for placing it otherwise. 
will not be allowed over one foot in height 
from the surface of the ground, nor less 
than six inches in thickness, except where 
they are made to correspond with other 
stones already on the lot, and must be 
placed on foundations. 
On section 14, and all sections hereafter 
platted, markers must be set level with the 
sod, the monument only, being allowed to 
project above the ground. 
Sec. 17. Flowers may be planted only on 
graves or in vases, according to the taste of 
the lot owner, but not more than one vase 
will be allowed upon a lot. Running vines 
or hardy spreading plants on graves are in 
the way in the proper care of lots, and the 
association reserves the right to remove such 
when found objectionable. Unfilled vase.s 
will not be allowed to remain on lots after 
June 15th, but will be removed from lot 
and held subject to order of owner. 
Sec. 18. Florists engaged by lot owners 
to plant on graves or in vases will be re- 
quired to leave list of all graves and vases 
planted (with superintendent) before doing 
the work, and will not be allowed to remove 
anything from any lot without written order 
from lot owners. 
No more wooden vases or urns will be 
permitted in the cemetery.

Privileges and Restrictions of Lot Owners. 
Sec. 2. Enclosures of any other descrip- 
tion are considered unsightly and useless, 
and are therefore prohibited. 
Sec. 5. If any tree or shrub, situated in 
any lot, shall become detrimental to any 
adjacent lot or avenue, or unsightly or in- 
convenient, it shall be the duty of said 
trustees, and they shall have the right by 
No monument will be allowed upon a lot 
platted for less than six burials. Any stone 
more than twelve inches thick will be con- 
sidered a monument. 
Sec. 10. “No monument or headstone nor 
portion thereof, and no portion of any vault 
or tomb above ground shall be constructed 
of limestone, sandstone, or any artificial ma- 
terial.” 
Sec. 16. On sections Nos. 1 to 13 inclusive, 
and No. 15, headstones or markers for graves 
Sec. 22. General care of the entire grounds 
and lots is assumed by the association, 
twenty per cent of the receipts from all lot 
sales being by law set aside and placed in 
trust, and the interest thereof devoted to 
their perpetual care. This, however, does 
not provide for special care of monuments, 
flowers, etc., which may be placed on lots 
by proprietors. In order that lot owners 
may secure such special care for all time,
