mm pill ft if i a- s y r tfrm j tmumv- umsiko oct s3 16 t the cemetery question the average rural banns ground in the country thorn bat little ot the good taste that marks those ot the cities end larger towns it it too often u desolate in p- peerance u it is solemn is ll associations it is frequently an example of the saddest uqdrjf neglect the fences enclosing it are after dilapidated and sometimes so low that cattle can walk over and gctza on the graves thorns and thistles grow unmo lested while the dried stalks of last years burdocks are monuments not to the mem- orjr of the dead hot to the thiftlestness of the living the wild grass wares and the weeds ran is rank luxuriance where gleam ing marble and fragrant flowers should re cord the virtues of the dead and testify to the tenderness i of the living thisappeara to be a common thing and is indeed a trne picture of the premises knows as the oemetery save the mark is this municipality owing to this we must be discredited every day in the eyes of visitors asd they are no doubt almost led to conclude that acton is inhabited by a class ot heathens judging from the evident neglect to pay proper care and respect for oar dead and why is it that matters is this con nection have been allowed to assume so neglected a state 8imnlrbeeaase it has bees knows for years that the present cemetery being about filled up was soon to be abandoned and from this considera tion very little attention has been paid to the improvement or beautifying of it asd many who have buried their departed loved ones postponed the erection ot headstones and monuments until the new cemetery was opened four years ago a movement was set on foot for aecanng a new place o bn but through the interference of certain parties interested in other property than that selected by the citizens eommitteeappoint- ed by a citizens meeting to so select the bylaw then submitted was defeated by a narrow majority from that time to this the old bargrjg place has remained sneared for until now from sanitary considerations asd the fact that the place is almost com pletely filled up it has bees considered absolutely necessary that steps be again taiento secure the most desirable aid much needed end and again we find a number of people interesting themselves to secure a second defeat of the bylaw and what are the reasons presented is opposition to this im portant matter are they reasonable are they charitable are they usselfish do fhey exhibit proper respect for the memory of those who have departed from our midst do those who oppose the matter offer a more feasble scheme thas that at present advanced no the ob- jeetiosstmade are almost invariably from selfish unfeeling nonprogressive or un reasonable standpoints this should not- y the new cemetery is urgently needed- the cominittee composed of competent citizens considered the proposed site a saitable one- the purchase of a cemetery wutoertainly cause no perceptible increase n taxation and can we feel confident be roads a source of revenue it will improve and lend attraction to our little town asd will show to the world that we have some respect for the memory of our departed loved ones let us all then as property owners quali fied to vote on the bylaw bury our dif ferences and join in nrnfrfp sis matter a present asd permanest suocesa by so doing we will benefit the place in which we live and assist very materially in tnfthtrg the scheme financially successf ul if how ever this unreasonable opposition contin ues and the bylaw is affected by it there is trouble is store for this municipality the old cemetery must be closed asd a new one is consoqnezrttja necessity the long er then the matter remains unsettled the more it will cost the place it ihe bylaw is now defeated it is only the question of a few months jit farthest when it must be again submitted and itmustbe knows out the submission ot a bylaw is a mat ter of no little expense again the pro- posed properly can be purchased now for a remarkably low price and it cannot be presumed that it will remain at the figure named for any length of time it wql be economy from many points of view to carry the bylaw now work for it and serve the best interests of your town awmi notes and comments- steps are to be taken at onoe for the sub mission of the scott aet in toronto
