A K WOODS, CHICAGO 
is revealed by the glimpse of a dignified 
tomb or mausoleum, but where this pur- 
pose is not permitted to dominate the 
natural beauty of the view. Or again, a 
vvildwood corner is shown, liberal areas 
being allotted for ornamental treatment, 
so that the necessities of the place are 
momentarily hidden. 
The use of water-effects in the land- 
scape has been given liberal expression, 
with the result that four separate lagoons 
of large area enhance the beauty of the 
place. 
The crematory at Oak Woods is a per- 
fect plant in a building that is a model 
of convenience and comfort, combined with 
beauty of architecture. The crematory and 
chapel have previously been described in 
Park and Cemetery. 
Not the least in point of interest to the 
lot-owners is the power house at Oak 
Woods, for to its unequalled water supply 
is due much of the beauty maintained in 
the grounds. As shown in the view, the 
building has been made a unique feature 
of the landscape, -while the power used — 
electrical centrifugal pumps — eliminates 
everything objectionable in connection with 
pumping water in the cemetery. The sup- 
ply of water within the cemetery is inex- 
haustible and insures the results in appear- 
ance guaranteed by the cemetery contracts 
for perpetual care.
