CEMETERY TO
BE FENCED
At the last meeting of the Civic
club, following the report of a special
committee, it was almost unanimously
voted to fence the cemetery. At this
time only the five acres surveyed and
platted will be fenced. A great deal
of work ana considerable expense was
put in the surveying and platting and
• fence would save destruction of the
markers. Loose stock and careless
drivers have already knocked down a
number.
The cost of the fencing material
will be approximately $100 and to raise
this money the membership pledg'd to
earn and give 81 each by the April
meeting. The money must be on hand
before the work is started as the ladies
thought they would be sure of meet
ing the expense. As fast as members
have their contributions they are re
quested to hand it to the committee
consisting of Mrs. Waterman, Mrs
SwEyze and Mrs. Haneline.
After the material is secured and on
the ground the ladies hope to organize
a party of men interested in civic
matters to go up and do the work.
Enough can be secured to do the work
io less than a day and the ladies will
serve lunch at noon.
