Communicaton of Sup^t as to price for purpet^l care of small lots - referred to Com^ee on Lots _

A communication was received from the Superintendent
inquiring whether there ought not to be a provision for
the perpetual care of small lots for a less sum than
three hundred dollars, as now required by the by-laws.

Also whether the present price for depositing bodies
in the Receiving Tomb is sufficient to meet cases where
the deposit money is forfeited and the bodies have to be
removed to some part of the grounds at the expense of
the Corporation. _

Voted to refer the inquiry as to the sum for perpetual
care of small lots to the Committee on Lots; and that relation
to the price for deposit in the Receiving Tomb to the Committee on Rules and
Regulations of Interments. _ Adjourned _ Attest A.J. Coolidge,, Secretary
