PARK AND CEMETERY. 
The fence is constructed of 34-hich 
square pickets, spaces 5 inches on centers, 
comprises 787 lineal feet and is 51 inches 
high, set. Stewart’s 2x^-inch patented 
three-ribbed channel rail, 1 inch square, 
"W” line posts and adjustable center sup- 
port, were used throughout in the con- 
struction of this fence. The manufacturers 
claim many advantages for these patent 
features, some of which are added dura- 
bility, ease of adjustment and impossibil- 
ity of fence getting out of alignment. This 
short resume gives a fair idea of the con- 
struction of this fence and the illustration 
brings out much of the beauty of the orig- 
inal design. 
The members composing the committee 
who are responsible for the erection of this 
fence and entrance gates to Crown Point 
Cemetery are J. W. Cooper, superintend- 
ent; J. I. Shade, M. W. Coate, Dr. F. A. 
Smith, W. R. Dimmitt and D. P. Davis.
