A letter was received concerning the remaining lots
irfleelye Cemetery. They are part of the estate of Pearl
W.. Dickinson. The price of $300 per lot put them out of
consideration with the added difficulty of really knowing
where there have been burials in the past. The secretary
was directed to write Layden and Layden, lawyers for the
Executrix, and inform him that we are not interested in
purchasing the lots at this time.
A letter was received concerning the desire of Wilber S ..
Cortright to purchase a rose quartz boulder memorial for
use in his lot at Pineview Cemetery. After consulting with
the town attorney, the commission has decided to slightly
change the wording of future deeds to include this attractive
type of memorial. We contemplate taking this action at our
May meeting and the secretary is directed to so write Mr..
Cortright with copy to George Sa nds and Sons who sell
this memorial.
Mrs . C.R.BARton has written to ask us to buy back her lot
in the Pineview Cemetery. As she payed $120 for the lot
we will repurchase it for the sum of $90 which is the
purchase price minus 25% for perpetual care. On receipt
of said deed for lot #617-Section 24-Wah-Ta- Wah, the
treasurer will pay Mrs . Barton this customary amount.
Th e secretary will write and so inform Mrs . Barton.
Mrs . Dougher will contact the local nurseries and ask for
simple suggestions on landscaping the new section. The
commission has several types of trees and bushes that they
would like to see included. We' ll try to do the job for
less than $$1500.
John Dunn will contact BOCES on designing and building
an entrance sign for the cemetery.
The secretary was directed to write Cale Development Corp.
as to their encroachment and damage to the cemetery. The
snow is now off the ground and we desire to meet with
them on the site.
