MOUNT AUBURN CEMETERY. 15

Provisions
of will,

If a proprietor in his will makes no devise of the lot, it be-
comes a part of the residuary estate; or if not devised, and no
bequest of the residue is made, it descends to the heirs-at-law.

Representa-
tive to be
designated.

Pub. St., ch. 82, § 3, and sect. 8 of the Charter of the corpo-
ration, provide, ‘‘if there be more than one devisee or heir-at-
law, the Board of Trustees may designate which one shall
represent the lot.”

Representa-
tive no con-
trol over title.

This designation does not affect the title. They (the heirs or
devisees) are tenants-in-common; no sale can be made unless
all sign conveyance.

Petition for
representa-
tive. Impor-
tance of
prompt re-
turn.

It is IMPORTANT that the petition for representation (furnished
by the Secretary) should be PROMPTLY returned with the names
and residences of the heirs, and signed by a majority: other-
wise delays may occur at the cemetery in ascertaining whether
the order for interment is properly signed.

Lots indivisi-
ble.
No record of
part owner-
ship.

Lots are indivisible, and ‘‘no record of any person’s interest
in a lot, less than the entire ownership, shall be made on the
books of the corporation.” (Rules and Regulations, Art. vii.)

L. G. FARMER,
Secretary.
