Although I cannot speak with authority. I venture to say that the earth necessary for this can be secured from the stone plant for the hauling of it. Teams for the purpose may be secured in the same manner as they have been secured for the rare of the cerm-tery. Then the trench mortar should be brought. down from its present location. plac- ed on a cement. foumlation. and painted a khaki or grey color. When this has been done I would suggest that the Town Cmmcil add some- thing to the salary of the caretaker ’0! the Public or High school and add the care of the. plot to his duties.
