SIXTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT.

-----

The Trustees herewith submit to the Proprietors their sixty-
fourth annual report, and also the reports of the Superintendent
and Treasurer.

The condition of the funds is as follows : —

The Repair Fund, which shows the amount paid in for the perpetual
care of lots, and the income of which is pledged for that especial
purpose,‘and cannot be applied to any other use, is $853,972.08,
having increased during the year $41,755.26.

The Permanent Fund, accumulating under the By-Laws to provide
for the care of the cemetery after all the lots are sold, is $353,301.89,
showing an increase of $9,202.62,

The General Fund, owing to strict economy in the expenditures
during the past year of small sales, has increased $15,852.62, and
now amounts to $135,309.25.

During the past year the Trustees have been deprived of the valu-
able services of their late Superintendent, Mr. James W. Lovering,
by his accidental death. Mr. Lovering was thrown from his vehicle
and received injuries at first not thought serious, but which resulted
in lock-jaw, and terminated his life on the eighteenth day of May,
last.

Mr. Lovering was chosen superintendent in 1872, and continued
to fill that office for twenty-three years ; during which he devoted
