<br />
<br />Hon. Common Council--Board of Aldermen.
<br />
<br />Gentlemen:-- Your Cemetery Committee
<br />
<br />respectfully reports herein concerning the following m~t~ters referred to the Joint Cemetery
<br />Committee January t4, 1916:
<br />
<br />Referred by Common Council J~nuary 14th.
<br />
<br /> Advisability of purchasing the Guthrie Property adjoining the Oak Grove Cemetery.
<br /> ~e report that the Committee have looked into this matter and find the property con-
<br />tains about two (2) acres, or 150 lots of the usual size; that 100 of said lots are available
<br />at present with little preparation, and at a small cost for enclosure of the whole. The price
<br />for the property is $2,500.00, provided purchase of same is agreed to by the Council in sixty
<br />(60) days~ and provided further that a small enclosed lot in this tract is reserved undisturb-
<br />ed, for which m deduction of $5©. from the above amount will be allowed.
<br />
<br /> We believe that the purchase of this property is desirable and neoesss~ry pending
<br />the ac~ui~ition and preparation of any Is~rger tract for cemetery purposes; and it is recommend-
<br />ed that ss~id property be purchased.
<br />
<br /> Reoommitted. Advisability of cutting a gateway in the Oak Grove Cemetery,
<br />side, for convenience.of citizens in the Sixth ~ard.
<br /> Progress ms to same.
