The plan for the development of the ad- 
dition to Riverview Cemetery, East Liver- 
pool, O., illustrated here, was prepared by 
the Wagner Park Nurseries of Sid- 
ney, O., who operate extensive nurseries 
and maintain a complete landscape depart- 
ment for planning, planting and developing 
park and cemetery grounds. 
The Park Board and Cemetery Trustees 
of Holland, Mich., have about completed 
the preliminaries in sub-dividing the new 
East addition to the Pilgrim Home Ceme- 
tery, and soon the tract will be thrown 
open to the public for purchase. 
The Orthodox Hebrew Congregation of 
Hazelton, Pa., will erect a stone wall fence 
along the front of their cemetery grounds. 
Heber Springs, Ark., has appropriated 
$250 which will be used in beautifying the 
city cemetery and erecting a stone fence 
around it. 
Great improvement is being made in the 
Confederate burying ground at Alton, 111., 
through the generosity of the government. 
The War Department sent Civil Engineer 
T. S. Rabbitt to Alton, who laid out plans 
for granitoid walks and steps and other 
work. 
Eugene L. Davis has been given the con- 
tract from the ladies of the Civic League 
for the improving of the old Town House 
Hill Cemetery at Norwalk, Conn. This in- 
cludes the looking after of the graves, the 
setting up of fallen stones and the remod- 
eling of the old stone wall. 
At a recent meeting of the plot holders 
of St. Stephen’s Reformed Cemetery, Per- 
kasie, Pa., the members of the congrega- 
tion decided to make improvements to the 
cemetery costing about $1,000. The im- 
PARK AND CEMETERY. 
provements are to consist of an iron fence 
with drive gates and arches, and the re- 
moval and trimming of trees. 
Improvements in Mount Olivet Cemetery, 
Fort Worth, Tex., along lines suggested by 
B. L. Waggoman and W. C. Guthrie, cem- 
etery association directors, who recently 
returned from an inspection trip to St. 
Louis and Kansas City cemeteries, will be 
carried out at an early date. The improve- 
ments will cost $6,000. A women’s rest 
room of brick and cement with a green tile 
roof will be erected at a cost of $1,000 on 
the hill near the south entrance. The of- 
fice building, two keepers’ cottages and two 
barns that formerly occupied this site have 
been removed south of the hill nearer the 
entrance and will be repainted. Several 
miles of driveways are to be constructed 
and many flowers and trees planted. 
From the Cemetery Reports. 
The annual report of the Woodlawn 
Cemetery Association, Winona, Minn., tells 
of the election of officers as follows : Pres- 
ident, Hannibal Choate ; vice-president, A. 
B. Youmans ; secretary, A. C. Dixon; 
treasurer, S. L. Prentiss ; superintendent, 
J. E. Thompson. The report of Secretary 
A. Dixon showed receipts for the past year 
of $11,505.98, this including $3,943.25 for the 
sale of lots, $2,620.29 from interest, $2,- 
154.76 from the greenhouse, $2,053.91 from 
labor and interments, $278.80 from bills re- 
ceivable and $85 from pasturage. The 
driveway leading from the present entrance 
of the cemetery grounds to the point of its 
intersection with the old original road has 
always been difficult to keep in order, the 
steep incline at its southern end rendering 
it subject to the wash of heavy rains, cut- 
ting it up badly, and in order to remedy 
this it was decided to pave it with brick. 
Pine Grove Cemetery, Lynn, Mass., re- 
ports that the fight against the brown-tail 
moth and similar pests has been continued 
this year at a cost of only $418.05. This 
is considerably less than in former years. 
Eleven odd lots have been placed under 
perpetual care during the year. There 
have been laid 1,551 feet of drain pipe in 
connection with which six large and thir- 
teen small catch basins have been built. In 
addition to this work 3,582 linear feet of 
concrete gutter have been laid. Superin- 
tendent George E. Lane gives details of 
the finances of the year and statistics of the 
season’s work. 
A HANDY GRAVE BRACE 
Is made entirely of iron, and will last 
a long time. 
THE VISIBLE LOT MARKER 
The Visible Lot Marker is made to 
stay visible. Following the angle of the 
concrete post, the growth of green is 
directed away from the center, and 
leaves the number of the lot always in 
view. Write to the designer and get 
special teims and prices on these two 
useful utilities.
