Later the plan was evolvsd and has,
been accepted to install a tank and
power pump at the w.U, feus nuking
it possible for parties to irrigate fee
lawns within the burial plots and to
keep the cemetery green and beau

It is proposed to place a 50 barrel
tank on a scaffold directly above the
well and to place in the inclosure be

power, f
