PARK AND CEMETERY. 
No. 684, A.] [Published June 14, 1915. 
CHAPTER 213, LAWS OF 1915. 
AN ACT To create Sections 1455 — 1 to 1455 — 1, 
inclusive, of the statutes, prescribing the condi- 
tions and restrictions under which public vaults, 
crypts or mausoleums for the permanent entomb- 
ment of human bodies, may be constructed, and 
fixing penalties for failure to comply therewith. 
The people of the State of Wisconsin, represented 
in senate and assembly, do enact as follows: 
Section 1. There are added to the statute four 
new sections to read: Section 1455 — 1. No person, 
firm or corporation shall build, construct, or erect 
any mausoleum, vault, crypt or structure intended 
to hold or contain dead human bodies, which shall 
be wholly or partially above the surface of the 
ground, except in compliance with the rules and 
regulations of the State Board of Health governing 
their location, materials and construction. The 
State Board of Health is hereby authorized and em- 
powered to adopt and enforce such rules and regu- 
lations governing the location, materials and con- 
struction of mausoleums, vaults, crypts or other 
similar structures; provided the proper local offi- 
cials of any township, incorporated village or city 
shall have the authority to make and enforce such 
additional ordinances, by-laws, rules or regulations 
as they may deem necessary not inconsistent with 
this act or with any rule or regulation adopted 
or prescribed by the State Board of Health. 
Before commencing the building, construction or 
erection of the same, full detailed plans and speci- 
fications of such structure shall be presented to the 
State Board of Health for its examination and ap- 
proval. The approval of the said plans and speci- 
fications by the State Board of Health shall be 
evidenced by a certificate in writing, signed by the 
executive officer of the said Board. 
Section 1455 — 2. The State Board of Health shall 
have supervisory control over the construction of 
any such mausoleum, vault, or crypt, and it shall 
be the duty of said Board to see that the approved 1 
plans and specifications are in all respects complied 
with. No departure or deviation from the original 
Investigations for the purpose of en- 
couraging sprayers in the preparation of 
lime-sulphur concentrates for their own 
use have led to the wide use of this spray 
material, says the United. States Depart- 
ment of Agriculture Bulletin No. 197, 
“Home-made Lime-Sulphur Concentrate.” 
It is of relatively little importance, except 
for economy in storage space, how dense or 
heavy a concentrated solution is made, be- 
cause it can be readily diluted in conform- 
ity with the purpose for which it is to be 
used. 
One of the home-made cooking plants 
used in the experiments consisted of a 12- 
horsepower boiler from which steam was 
conducted into two 50-gallon barrels. No 
plans and specifications shall be permitted, except 
upon approval of the State Board of Health, evi- 
denced in like manner and form as the approval of 
the original plans and specifications. 
No mausoleum, vault, crypt or structure so erect- 
ed as aforesaid shall be used for the purpose of 
interring or depositing therein any dead body until 
there shall have been obtained from the State 
Board of Health a final certificate signed by the 
executive officer of the Board, stating that the 
plans and specifications as filed, have been com- 
plied with, and that the maintenance fund required 
by this Act has been deposited with the proper city 
or county official. 
Section 1455 — 3. There shall be deposited with 
the city treasurer or where said mausoleum, vault 
or crypt is to be erected in territory not under the 
jurisdiction of any city, then with the county treas- 
urer of the county in which such mausoleum, vault, 
crypt or structure is to be constructed, a main- 
tenance fund in such sum as shall be determined 
and fixed by the said State Board of Health, which 
said fund shall be held and invested by said city 
or county treasurer for the benefit of and care for 
such mausoleum, vault or crypt and the income 
thereof paid annually or less frequently as the 
cemetery or other committee having in charge such 
mausoleum, vault or crypt may require for the 
care and up-keep of said structure. 
Section 1455 — 4. Any person, any member of a 
firm, or any officer, or director of a corporation, 
failing to comply with each and every provision of 
this Act shall be personally liable therefore, and 
shall, upon conviction thereof, be deemed guilty of 
a misdemeanor. Violation of any of the provisions 
of this Act shall be punishable by a fine of not 
less than one hundred dollars nor more than five 
hundred dollars or by confinement in the county 
jail not less than ten days nor more than six 
months or by both such fine and imprisonment. 
This Act shall not apply to any mausoleum now in 
process of construction. 
Section 2. This Act shall take effect upon pass- 
age and publication. 
Approved June 10, 1915. 
coils were used in the bottoms of the 
barrels, the steam being emitted through 
the open end of a straight pipe extending 
within a few inches of the bottom of the 
barrel. Small batches of the 50-100-50 
formula, amounting to 25 gallons of the 
finished product, were cooked at a time. 
About 20 gallons of water were put into 
the barrel, the steam turned on, and the 
water brought to the boiling point. The 
lime was then put in, and after it had be- 
gun to slake the sulphur was added. The 
mixture was stirred thoroughly throughout 
the time of cooking, which lasted an hour. 
It was allowed to settle about 12 hours 
and then the clear solution was siphoned 
off. The sludge or sediment was put into 
a cider press and the clear solution pressed 
out, using 10-ounce canvas cloth for filter. 
In these experiments commercial ground 
sulphur and a good grade of lime was 
used. 
The 50-100-50 formula, meaning 50 
pounds of lime, 100 pounds of sulphur and 
water to make 50 gallons of the concen- 
trated solution, has generally been recom- 
mended for the preparation of home-boiled 
concentrated lime-sulphur solution. A good 
grade of fresh limestone, containing not 
less than 90 per cent calcium oxide, is nec- 
essary for the best results. Hydrated lime 
is sometimes used, but it is necessary to 
obtain a good grade and at least 20 per 
cent more of this form of lime, as it con- 
tains a high percentage of moisture. 
The process is described in detail in the 
bulletin mentioned above.

MAKING LIME-SULPHUR SPRAY. 
CROWN HILL, DENVER’S MODERN BURIAL PARK 
We have before emphasized in these 
pages that one of the most important du- 
ties of the visitors to Denver and the 
West is to see the beautiful cemeteries and 
the fine monuments of that city. 
The two leading cemeteries of Denver, 
Fairmount and Crown. Hill, are among the 
most highly developed in the country and 
each of them has unique and interesting 
attractions that make them noteworthy ex- 
amples of the development of landscape 
and cemetery art. 
Fairmount was recently described in 
these pages and the views of Crown Hill 
Burial Park, the newer of Denver’s mod- 
ern cemeteries, illustrated here, show what 
can be accomplished by modern, intelligent 
methods pursued from the start. 
Crown Hill had the advantage of many 
older cemeteries in the country that start- 
ed before modern ideas of cemetery de- 
velopment were in vogue, in that it started 
on the complete lawn plan from the first 
interment. The grounds and all lots and 
single graves are under perpetual care. 
Every problem of development was care- 
fully considered in the light of the best 
modern practice from the beginning and 
there is no better located burial ground in 
the whole Rocky Mountain region, from 
the standpoint of drainage, accessibility 
and scenic views of the Rockies. 
The main esplanade extending through 
the grounds, and the unique landscape ef- 
fects along the boulder-banked brook that 
may be seen in our pictures show what re- 
sults in development have been accom- 
plished. 
The Crown Hill Cemetery Association 
was organized in 1907 by George W. 
Olinger, the present president, and Verner 
J. Davis, present superintendent, with oth- 
ers. Sam A. Alexander is the present man- 
ager. Their grounds consist of 290 acres 
of high lands, four and one-half miles 
from the heart of Denver, with the snow- 
capped Rockies in the background. The 
cemetery is reached by electric tramway
