Messrs Wight & Scorgie,
Cambridge.

Dear Sirs:-

In regard to your enquiry as to the Hon. H. H. Gilmore's
lot, I find that the distance from the lot line to the line of the
path must not exceed five feet. The rise from the path to the lot
will not be over nine inches. The width of the front of the lot
is twelve feet, and I need hardly remind you that the extreme width
of the entrance posts, steps and buttresses must not exceed half
that width, that is six feet, and that border stones are not per-
missible. The depth of the underground roots of the corner posts
should not be less than five feet. A post that only goes below
the frost line is not considered of proper depth, as graves are
made close to these posts and any sinking of the grave is followed
by the tipping of the post, unless it reaches as far as the
bottom of the grave.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.

I would say that the lot line above referred to is the
inside line of the present posts.
