Land on Hill-sides _

Mr Cheever stated that it was desirable to induce
the purchase by individuals of lots on the side-hills for
catacomb tombs, there being a good deal of land in the
cemetery suitable for that purpose only, and suggested
that the charge of fifty dollars extra upon a lot of three
hundred square feet for the privilege of constructing a tomb
therein operated as a bar to the ready sale of such lots.

Motion to charge same as for other Lots –

He, therefore _ for the sake of bringing the matter before
the Trustees at the next meeting _

Moved that lots for catacomb tombs on the hill-
sides, in such places as the Committee on Lots shall
approve, shall be sold at the same price as other lots
in the Cemetery are now sold - viz. fifty cents per square
foot: ~ and that that motion be upon the table till the next meeting.

Laid on table till next meeting.

The meeting was then adjourned.
Attest Austin J. Coolidge,, Secretary.
