attend tho unvot ing of the memorial to the lato ro j c wilson and thero tho nowmown hay lay as tho scores of cars and hun dreds of pedestrians passed over it the walks running cast and west which the council decided somo timo ago to sell for plots look as if they havo not been mown this eummerrtxnd in this condition with carefullykept plots on cither side tho contrast is rather painful the beautiful circular plot facing tne cntianco to tho cemotery where tho fine monument to our south african soldier hero stands also looks as if neuhcr a lawn mower noi a scythe had touched the grass slnco it began to grow in tho spring now i havent it my heart to place the blamo for these conditions on th official whoso multifarious duties in clude tho care of tho cemotery i jancy jiosaoovorloaded with other work more jnslstent that ho le un uble to undertako all that is placed upon him tho fault certainly lies with the municipal council itself and its cem etery committee frankly i have to confess that although i live not far from falrview cemetory and am often in tho cemetery itself i havo not once seen the councils chairman of the cemetery committee make un official visit thci 0 since his appointment tho existing conditions must not be permitted to continue falrview cem etory has always yielded morerev enues than havo boon expended on its care und maintenance the auditors statements prove this conclusively in fact the audited statements passe 1 and paid for alnce tho cemotery w is opened show that hundreds of dollars of suiplua icveiiue from the cemeter have gone into the general funds of the municipality with no accounting to the credit of tho cemetery fund for yeara according to statute i understand not do war derived from tho cemetory revenues can legally be used for anj other purpose the matter resolves itself into this position the council has given very ample evidence for years of its in ability to properly take caro of the cemetery the people sriomanowr- mand that its administration and caro should bo placed in tho hands of a commission that commission shoulu have power to formulate a plan for perpetual caro of all plots to employ a competent caietnker with experience and ability as a gardcnei whotfo wholo time would bo tmployed so that dilves walks plots ti ces and shrubbery would bo kept constantly noat and tldj and then it would be at all times pre sontablo the timo has surely come when this couisc may reasonably but firmly bo demanded now mr editor i hope you w111 back mo up in this proposal strongly it is amply manifest that if falrvlov cemotery which has all pobslblo na tural advantages is ever to bo plnced in tho atato citizens generully and plot owners universally desiro it fb be a commission must be put in charge if this cannot bo accomplished in an other way i m in favor of making this an issue of the next municipal election very sincerely plot owner and ratepayer acton august 5th 1025 three bigday
