Supt. Dunn reported on the theft of the water pump. It was sawed
off and removed since our last meeting. The claim is being
processed ant $415.00 will be allowed. The original cost was
$425.00.
The Highway Dept. has been working on the roads in the new
area.
After again reviewing the proposed new rates for the sale of lots
and for the various services , Commissioner Edey made the follow4ng
motion: I move that the rates be increased in line with the
increases of other local cemeteries ant that these increases
become effective on Nov.1, 1974. Seconded by Prime ant Voted
unanimously.
This,also, seems to be the time to change the percentage of the
charges kept for Perpetual Care. In the past one q uarter of
the monies want to perpetual care ant three quarters went to
the Town. The Commission feels that one third of the monies should
now go to Perpetual Care in order to save some taxes in the
future. With the higher rates , the Tewn will be reeieving more
dollars in any ease. The Secretary was directed to write the
Town Beard informing it of the new rates and, also, asking for
approval of the change in percent retained. Approval is to be
requested by Nov.1, 1974. A copy of the new rates ant of the
letter tó the Town Board will be filed with these minutes.
Loss of the water pump will mean waiting for Spring to do
the planned tree planting. It will probably be possible to
tie in with the Town water supply rather than replace the pump.
Dunn will contact the Water Dept. ant get their recommendations.
Cemetery improvement monies will be used for this project.
