I have written her [?] I have laid her request before the committee on lots for their approval

Respectfuly J.W. Lovering

S.T. Snow Esq Ch. Comm on Lots

Dr Sir

I think by the following means if it meets your approval, more work might be kept in the hands of the Corporation & also the "boundary marks & grade of lots" would be more under control. viz "that the committee on Lots direct me to require of each purchaser of a lot in future, an order "to post, grade & sod, & cut numbers;" or if he intends to curb the lot to "set clamps, lead curb, & grade & sod lot & cut number, if not cut."

By this means the annual care would come into our hands for a year & probably remain.

It can be applied to tomb lots if best.

Respectfully J.W. Lovering Supt.
