In almost all cities the last resting place of the loved ones is carefully looked after and kept up in the best shape but in this respect Oak Hill cemetery has not been kept to the standard that it should be. The present committee of the council that has charge of the cemetery work has been in earnest injan [sic] effort to secure better conditions there and to have the cemetery present the proper appearance that it should but it has taken a great deal of time to get the plans for the proper improvements completed and this has retarded the work somewhat. The persons who own lots in the cemetery should join hands with the committee of the co! uncil in seeing that the cemetery is kept in proper shape by having their lots fixed up in a fitting matter.
