PARK AND CEMETERY. 
Graham, T. J. Edwards and James Cox, 
of Peoria, are interested in the cemetery. 
A special car took about sixty persons 
out to the dedication of the new Grace 
Lawn Cemetery at Flint, Mich., October 
18. The officers of the company are: 
President, Edward Black; vice-president, 
Fred M. Warner ; secretary, Louis G. Will-

Sims & Sims, a St. Louis firm which 
makes a business of organizing and devel- 
oping cemeteries, has organized a new 
cemetery at Decatur, 111., turning over the 
property to an association of lot owners. 
The first directors of this association are 
Robert I. Hunt, John F. Mattes, W. M. 
Wood, E. P. Irving and Luther F. Martin. 
The cemetery will be located on the old 
Park farm, lying across the railroad from 
Fairview Park. Ernesto Bruhn, the land- 
scape gardener for the Sims & Sims Co., 
is to lay out the grounds. 
molds for ornamental concrete work and 
block and brick machines. The Park 
and Boulevard Department, with the 
city of Toledo, Ohio, adopted the sys- 
tematic for their work, and any ceme- 
tery wishing to have one of these mix- 
ers and desiring to pay for it in a very 
short time over hand mixing, will do 
well to send to the Cement Machinery 
Co., Jackson, Mich., for their detailed 
catalog. 
This company advises us that they 
have just shipped their fifth mixer of this 
type for the Brazilian Government at 
Rio de Janeiro, South America, where it 
is operated by the government engineers.

SYSTEMATIC CONCRETE MIXER IN 
CONCRETE WORK FOR PARK 
AND CEMETERY. 
The increasing use of concrete work 
in parks and cemeteries makes the study 
of the best type of concrete machinery 
for this use of much value to superin- 
tendents. 
We illustrate one of the style “AA” 
Systematic Concrete Mixers with a 
crushed stone bin attached, which has 
been adopted and operated by the 
Woodmere Cemetery Association at De- 
troit. It has been in use several years 
and has been found very serviceable and 
efficient. 
This mixer is manufactured by the Ce- 
ment Machinery Co. at Jackson, Mich., 
and they are built in many sizes and ca- 
pacities to suit park and cemetery work 
of all kinds where concrete is used. 
They have high wheels and low hop- 
pers and are easy to move around. They 
are built so that no springs, chains or 
sprockets are connected with them. It 
has steel mixing barrel, 36 semi-steel 
mixing paddles, two clutches, one for 
the feed and one for the mix, and is 
equipped with gasoline engine or steam, 
or without either. It proportions auto- 
matically and accurately and requires no 
skilled labor to operate. All that is nec- 
essary is to keep the hoppers full of 
material, and the mixer proportions and 
mixes thoroughly. 
This company also manufactures Batch 
Mixers and a complete line of ornamental

already beautiful cemetery. This iron fence 
is a special design built by The Stewart 
Iron Works Co., Cincinnati, O., carrying 
out the plans and ideas in design of Archi- 
tect W. Blackwell. We show on the front 
cover of this issue a halftone reproduction 
from the original photograph taken of this 
preposessing entrance after it was erected, 
which shows to a good advantage not only 
the details of the fence and gates, but 
brings out some of the beauty of the land- 
scape features of this modern Canadian 
cemetery. 
A great deal of credit for the fine con- 
dition of Little Lake Cemetery is due to 
the hard work, persistent efforts and 
splendid ideas of Superintendent Frank 
Wise. The new entrance, as will be seen 
from the picture on the front cover of 
Park and Cemetery, consists of two large 
double entrance gates, two walk gates and 
fence. The double gates are 12 feet 4 
inches wide between posts and 8 feet 1 
inch high at center, 7 feet 1 inch high at 
hinge bars. Long pickets are Y\ inch 
square, spaced 5 inches on centers, with 
ornamental malleable tops. Gates are hung 
on 2-inch square bars, with socket hinges, 
to massive stone piers. Frame bars are 
2x$4 inches flat; the two top rails and 
bottom rail are 2x§^ inches. The scroll 
work is very ornamental and adds a highly 
finished appearance to the design of the 
gates. The large gates are fitted with au- 
tomatic fastening blind lock, having slide 
latch inside. The walk gates on either side

and cemeteries.
