White staked lots must be kept in the best possible order. These lots are marked in Red Ink in Gardeners book Red staked lots are marked in black ink in Gardeners Book Red staked lots are to be kept in the best order that the force of men will admit, and will be treated equally well. The numbers of the Red staked lots worked on each day to be marked on the white cards. The Gardener will bring in his Book as often as possible that the new lots may be entered. But he will be held responsible for the care of any lot for which a ticket is issued whether on his book or not

Chair. Comm on Lots
Dear Sir
There are now ready for use (with the exception of marble fronts) 50 catacombs in the New Receiving Tomb forming the first section next to the vestibule. The door to the Rec. Tomb is of wood, and no tiles have been laid on the floor of vestibule or the section of catacombs, nor has any ventilator been put on.
The size of the catacombs is so small as to prevent the general use of the tomb at once even if the marble fronts were provided.
I would propose that at least one section near (of larger) catacombs be built & I think two would be better. If 40 catacombs of larger size were built in each of the new sections, these with the 50 ^new built would make 130 a number large enough to provide for all wants, unless the Trustees propose to sell a permanent right of burial.
If the tomb is not continued through to Fountain Ave the grade of this avenue can be raised so as to make a better road, and by filling a considerable amount of good land can be prepared for sale
