Then I think should be added: --

"No grave or tomb shall be opened for interment
or removal by any person not in the employment
of the Corporation".

Art. 17 -- Lots and Spaces.

For 3^d paragraph (p. 40) substitute the following:

"The price of land until otherwise ordered,
shall be not less than one dollar, nor more than
two dollars per square foot, according to the situation,
unless the Committee on Lots shall in any specific case,
consider the land to be of greater or less value. No
variation in price shall be made for large or
small lots."

Art. 18 -- Public Lots. --

The clause beginning in the 5^th line p. 41 --

"but not slab, monument or fence shall be erected
upon or around said graves without the approval of
the Committee on Lots": --

perhaps requires some change;
because the Com. on Lots do not wish to be troubled every
time a person desires to erect a headstone or tablet,
and in point of practice, I have never known this
consent to be asked. It has always been taken for
granted that a headstone may be erected. But in
respect to enclosing the grave or graves with a fence or
curb, I think the rule should stand as it is. --
