The matter of condition of the City Cemetery was discussed, in view of the fact
that several complaints had been received during the week in reference to weeds and
tall grass growing in the driveways, and Mr. Longenecker informed the Board that he
had been expecting help from the F.E.R.A., but what had been furnished him had been
very inadequate and until he could get more help it would be difficult to keep the
Cemetery in the condition which would present its best appearance. The Board instructed
him to do the best he could under the circumstances.
