VII. VIII. Mr. Oxian asked Mr. O-x-� to send copies of his report from the Cornelius O'Brien Conference to other Commission members, as many might find that information of interest. On a related note, Mrs. Sporleder asked if the matter of the cemeterz along Cleveland Road would be coming up soon. She expressed fear that the trees and enclosing wall would be destroyed by the road widening project. Mrs. Choitz stated that the township trustee had informed her that the road widening nould not disturb the cemetery. Mrs. Dixon stated that it is a felony to dig up braves. Mrs. Choitz felt_ that. such things are not so important to those planninp. the project. Mrs. Sporleder requested that the staff take a look at the plans for the Project to see how it will affect the cemetery. Mrs. Sporleder and Mrs. Choitz discussed the fact that some of the trees in the cemetery had already been removed. Mrs. Sporleder reported that the township trustee had given permission to trim the tree, but the "trimming" resulted in its removal. The tree had been hanging over the right-of-way. rather than being within the cemetery itself., so the trustee had given permission for its trimming. Mrs. Sporleder stated that the same thing is happening along Juniper and Douglas Roads, along Notre Dame property. She did not feel that there was any hope of influencing anyone on that project, whereas some influence may be possible on the Cleveland Road project. Mr. Oxian stated that the only wav the Commission can have a direct sav in the effects on the cemeteries is to make them landmarks.
