Copying Book: Secretary's Letters, 1860 (page 457)

did not ask to have it taken from
the $14. but paid it to R.B.S. --
When R.B.S. brought the bill of $6.00 for
care of lot for 1867, (Mr B. not having then
rec^d anything back of his $14.00) asked R.B.S.
if this should not come out: to
which Safford assented, and then
promised to take good care of his
lot for 1868 also for $8.00, and that
then the 6.00 & 8.00 would square
the account. He therefore asks to
pay the 1868 bill in this way. --

I find however (whether cor-
rect or not) on the cash book of Treas^r
and also on R.B.S.'s list, that the $6.
for 1867 was p^d Dec^r 18, 1867. -- Unless
that should have been credited to some
other person, & Mr Burge's story is cor-
rect, we shall still owe him after this
last year's bill is settled.

Yours truly

A.J. Coolidge

The following is the vote adopted
by the Trustees at the last meeting --

"Voted -- That the practice of charging
for land in case of a second interment
in a public lot be abolished, and that
the by laws relating to interments be
so amended as to substitute further clause --

"Where more than one interment is made
in the same grave, the last shall be at
least three feet below the surface of the ground,"
the following --

"Not more than two in-
terments shall be made in the same
grave, the latter of which shall
be at least three feet below the
surface of the ground."
