PARK AND CEMETERY. 
more property will be added to the cem 
eterv. 
The Noank, R. I., Valley Cemetery As- 
ciation is planning to secure some adja- 
cent land for an addition to the ceme- 
tery. Here is an example of leaving such 
matters too late. 
From Cemetery Reports. 
No. 20 brochure, called Lakewood Cem- 
etery Annual, of Lake City, Minn., has 
again in due course put in its annual ap- 
pearance. Besides printing the annual re- 
port of the annual meeting of the Ceme- 
tery Association, with election and finan- 
cial particulars, the eight-page pamphlet is 
full of interesting notes pertaining to 
cemetery work, and it gives a list of per- 
petual care lot owners and notices of the 
various anniversaries. It undoubtedly is 
a useful effort on the part of the ceme- 
tery officers, tending to maintain interest 
and inspire all concerned. 
The lot owners of the Greenwood Cem- 
etery, Brooklyn, N. Y., held their annual 
meeting March 19 and received the re- 
port of the trustees for the year 1912. 
The assets of the cemetery amount to 
$5,615,017.47. Its real estate is valued at 
$325,085, and it has on hand and on de- 
posit $105,843.33. In the total of $5,615,- 
017.47 is included the special care of cer- 
tain lots, amounting to, with interest, $1,- 
643,046.16. The receipts from all sources 
during the year were $695,726.48, and the 
disbursements $395,883.15, leaving a bal- 
ance of $194,000 loaned on bonds and 
mortgages. Included in the disbursements 
was $43,357.55 on account of the new 
chapel which is nearing completion, and 
the trustees hope to have it completed and 
furnished for use in May of this year. 
This chapel will have cost, when com- 
pleted, about $250,000. It is a beautiful 
example of English perpendicular Gothic 
architecture, inspired in part by Tom 
Tower at Christ College, Oxford, Eng- 
land.
