PARK AND CEMETERY. 
At the A'inchester, Mass., Town meet- 
ing, held June 15, it was voted that the 
town appropriate and set aside $32,400 
as a permanent fund to be known as 
the “Permanent Care Fund, Wildwood 
Cemetery," to be invested by the town 
treasurer under the direction of the 
cemetery commissioners, the income to 
be used for the care of lots. An addi- 
tional appropriation of $1,200 for gypsy 
and brown-tail moth work was made. 
CEMETERY IMPROVEMENTS 
Two new sections have been operted 
this spring in SS. Peter and Paul Cem- 
etery of St. Louis, Mo., whereon no 
mounds are permitted, and markers only 
6 inches high. This regulation is meet- 
ing with the approval and co-operation 
of the patrons of the cemetery. 
The Beatrice Cemetery Association, 
Beatrice, Neb., has let a contract for 
some 3,000 lineal feet of macadam drive- 
ways to Edward J. Koenig, landscape 
gardener and contractor, in Evergreen 
Home Cemetery. This will include the 
construction of concrete gutters and 
curbing along all the driveways. This 
may be but the beginning of this im- 
provement. 
Seven acres have been acquired for 
an addition to the northern end of Oak 
Hill Cemetery, Evansville, Ind. Ihis 
will eventually be improved and laid off 
into lots. 
The Jewish society of the Sons of 
Truth of Leavenworth, Kas., has begun 
the work of beautifying the cemetery 
northwest of the city and $1,000 is to 
be expended in the construction of a 
stone wall surmounted by an iron fence. 
The directors of the Lone Fir lot 
owners’ association, Portland, Ore., have 
decided that when $8,000 has been sub- 
scribed the improvement of the- ceme- 
tery will be started. Most of it is in 
hand. The elaborate plans suggested by 
Mr. Howard Evarts Weed, of Chica- 
go, have been modified, and the plan 
now is to clean up and improve the cem- 
etery and repair the fences generally, 
but there will be no disturbances of 
graves and monuments. Wilson Bene- 
fiel, long the superintendent, has sev- 
ered his connection with the cemetery 
and is succeeded by L. N. Guy. Mr. 
Guy will have full charge of the 
grounds. It is the purpose of the man- 
agement to raise a permanent fund for 
the care of this pioneer cemetery. 
At a recent meeting of the directors 
of the Hillside Cemetery Association, 
Middletown, N. Y., it was decided to 
proceed at once with the work of re- 
modeling the entrances to the ceme- 
tery.

ark, N. J., for the erection of an addi-
