Book Description
Excerpt from Annual Report of the Cemetery Department of the City of Boston: For the Fiscal Year 1905-1906 Some of the more important subjects which have occupied the attention of this Board of Trustees within the past year are herein detailed, and we respectfully call attention to the recommendations which are here included, and which have appealed to this Board as being of urgent necessity in the care of the cemeteries. The appropriation made for the fiscal year just ended was of sufficient amount to enable us to at once commence general improvements in each ground, and we were happily enabled to continue this class of work on a much larger scale than heretofore. With one exception, hereafter noted, all general and special work of improvement was paid for out of the regular appropriation. At Mount Hope Cemetery a substantial iron fence, 924 feet in length, was erected on the stone wall which extends from the main entrance of the cemetery on Walk Hill street, and along said street to Harvard street, and thence along Harvard street for. Some distance. This is a marked improvement over the barbed wire fence formerly on this stone wall, and had been recommended by the Trustees in previous years. It is hoped that the appropriation for 1906 1907 will enable us to continue the fence along Harvard street, and we strongly recommend that such work be done at once.

Book Description
Excerpt from Annual Report of the Cemetery Department of the City of Boston for the Fiscal Year 1903-1904: Including the by-Laws, Rules and Regulations of the Cemetery Department, and the Historical Sketch of the First Burning Ground in Roxbury A brief statement of work and subjects of special impor tance before the Board of Trustees during the year is here with given: In December, 1902, the City Council made an appropria tion for the purchase of additional land for Mount Hope Cemetery; this enabled the Trustees in February, 1903, to purchase three lots of land on and near Canterbury street, and immediately adjoining Mount Hope. (see financial state ment.) As stated in previous reports, the development of this land will enable the department to meet the constant demand for moderate priced graves, and work to that end has progressed as far as the appropriation allowed. The nature of the ground purchased is such that it is necessary to prepare it in its entirety before graves can be sold or inter ments made therein, and such preparation means a large expenditure of time and labor before the land can be fitted for cemetery purposes. The complete development of this land is the most urgent proposition before the Trustees, and we earnestly recommend that the City Council make special appropriation to that end, in View of the fact that the depart ment cannot meet the expense of such work from the regular appropriation.
