PARK AND CEMETER 7.

CEMETERY NOTES. 
Continued from page X 
The Taxpayers’ Association of 
Queens County is firm in its' demand 
that the cemetery corporations now 
owning large areas on Long Island shall 
bear their share of the county’s tax 
burden. 
The Sandy Hill Cemetery Protective 
Association, Paterson, N. J., has deter- 
mined to improve the old cemetery, sur- 
round it with a new iron fence and 
otherwise put it in attractive condition. 
ART IN THE CEMETERY. 
Continued from page 166 
quiet, beautiful place in which to lie in 
undisturbed retirement, or his friends 
may seek such a place for him. What 
place is more beautiful and restful 
than one which is parklike — a place 
abounding in trees, bushes, flowers, 
birds and sunshine — a place in which 
the objects of nature are arranged in 
the most beautiful and artistic manner? 
It is in line with this thought that we 
have the greatest opportunity for the 
introduction of art — fine art — in the 
modern cemetery. A full appreciation 
of what we might have will not be real 
ized until there is a change in the taste 
of the people. I believe that such a 
change is taking place. The beauty of a 
tree, of a group of trees, of mere ar- 
rangement of foliage, of the color of 
flowers, of the myriad forms of ground 
cover, of the various forms of water.
