Lot #4375 Petition of Alden E. Viles, Exr.
In the matter of the petition of Alden E. Viles, Executor of and
Trustee under the will of Abram F. Rowe, formerly owner of Lot No.
4325, now held by the Corporation in trust, asking for leave to remove
from said Lot the Headstone erected by the said Abram F. Rowe
to the memory of his first wife, and to replace it by a larger
and better granite Monument, which was referred to the President
with power, the President reported that he had granted leave to
erect the proposed Monument, upon the condition that the said
Headstone be not removed from the Lot but that it be buried
therein, so that in case any request should be hereafter made
that it be replaced upon the Lot, it might be in the power
of the Board to order that this be done, if they should deem it
advisable.

Vesper Lot Request for P. C. of Grave
In the matter of the request of Mrs E. J. A. Higgins to be
allowed to deposit a sum of money sufficient to provide for
the perpetual care of a Grave in Vesper Lot, in which she is
interested, which was referred to the President to investigate
the same and report at this meeting, the President reported
that the charter of the Corporation gives it power to make con-
tracts for perpetual care with the owners of Lots only, and
that, as the purchaser of a grave acquires merely an easement,
with no property rights, the Corporation has no authority to
make a contract with him for the care of it.

Improvements at Cemetery
In the matter of certain needed improvements at the
Cemetery, which were detailed at length at the last meeting
and in regard to which the President was requested to report
