close to a very active and instructive convention, and 
its influence is sure to be far reaching. 
The thanks of all interested are unquestionably due. 
to the late officers of the League to whose indefatigable 
exertions are due, in large measure, the increasing in- 
terest in the Improvement Society work.

OFFICE BUILDING, WOOD. 
WARD LAWN CEME. 
TERY, DETROIT, 
MICH, 
The office building at Wood- 
ward Lawn cemetery, Detroit, 
Mich., shown in our illustration, 
is an interesting example of cem- 
etery architecture in design, con- 
struction and economy of cost. 
It is a frame cottage with an 
exterior paneling of adamant 
plaster, which has successfully 
withstood the alternate freezing 
and thawing of winter. The in- 
terior is finished in Georgia pine, 
and is divided into a waiting 
room, a general and a private of- 
fice, with the necessary closets, 
toilet room and fireproof vault. 
The offices are well lighted, fitted 
with modern office furniture and 
heated by a furnace. The attic 
is used as a storage room. Th.c 
building stands just inside the 
cemetery gates, and is well set 
off by shrubbery and trees. The 
entire cost was about $1,200.
