LAWN AND TREES, HARLEIGH CEMETERY, CAMDEN, N. J. 
The illustrations on this page show 
two interesting views of the grounds 
of Harleigh cemetery, Camden, N. J., 
that are from a very fine series of 
photographic post cards used by this 
cemetery for advertising purposes. 
One of the pictures shows the en- 
trance drive, and a handsome stone 
seat and vase that are features of 
these grounds. These are constructed 
of Indiana limestone and are more 
substantial pieces of stone work than 
Kansas City, Kas., cemeteries, which 
heretofore have practically been ex- 
empt from taxation, will not escape 
are generally used for seats and vases 
in the cemetery ground. 
The other view shows one of the 
fine lawns of the cemetery near the 
border of the lake that is an interest- 
ing feature of the grounds. Some 
well grown, finely developed speci- 
mens of trees and shrubs may also 
be seen here, and the tidy condition 
of the grounds is evident in both of 
these views. 
George R. Rhedemeyer is superin- 
tendent. 
this year. Acting under a ruling of 
the Kansas State Tax Commission, the 
county assessor will assess them upon 
their capital stock, less the real estate 
assessment, which is nothing — the 
real estate being exempt under a 
Kansas state law. 
Plans are, it is rumored, under con- 
sideration by the Rt. Rev. Joseph B. 
Schrembs for the maintenance of but 
one cemetery in Toledo, O., for Cath- 
olics. It is expected that the land 
recently purchased by the bishop for 
the diocese, adjoining Calvary ceme- 
tery, will be used for that purpose. 
The new property consists of 77 
acres, and cost is said to be $100,000. 
The bodies now lying in St. Peter’s, 
St. Mary’s, St. Francis de Sales’ and 
St. Patrick’s cemeteries may be trans- 
ferred to Calvary and the abandoned 
cemeteries converted into lots. 
That the city has the power to open 
streets through the cemeteries, com- 
pel the removal of bodies and abolish 
the burial places, was the opinion re- 
cently sent to the supervisors of San 
Francisco, Cal., by the city attorney. 
The long agitation for the removal of 
the cemeteries within the city limits 
reached a climax a short time since 
through a number of petitions from 
improvement clubs calling upon the 
supervisors to proceed on the ground 
that the cemeteries stand in the way 
of access to the Richmond and other 
adjacent districts and prevent the de- 
velopment of neighboring property. 
No burials have been made in these 
cemeteries for five years, owing to a 
prohibitive ordinance which has been 
held valid by the state and federal 
courts. 
Under the auspices of the Green- 
wood Cemetery Ladies’ Flower Asso- 
ciation, Greenwood Cemetery, Chat- 
tanooga, Tenn., held very interesting 
“Flower Day” exercises on the ap- 
pointed day in June. Several hundred 
people gathered to hear the singing 
and addresses and participate in the 
distribution of a very liberal supply 
of flowers. Dr. R. N. Kesterson, sec- 
retary and manager of the cemetery 
company, presided, and the address 
of the day was made by Dr. Thomas 
Ashburn, D. D. Much credit is ac- 
corded Dr. and Mrs. Kesterton for 
their constant and progressive efforts 
to add to the beauty of the cemetery. 
There will soon be placed in the 
picturesque Hollenback Cemetery 
overlooking the beautiful Wyoming 
Valley at Wilkes-Barre, Pa., a white 
marble monument for the McClintock 
family. The monument is of Grecian 
Temple design, with heavy platform, 
four columns and a heavy and elabo- 
rately carved frieze and cap. It will 
be set by Miller & Laycock, Wilkes- 
Barre, Pa., and it is being cut by the
