In Plan No. 1 the colored portion represents the Section of Catacombs built previous to Dec 31, [18]71 with a partial [?] the Vestibule - enclosedportion being a design for extension Plan No. 2 [Election of same?] Plan Nos. 3 & 4 show open spaces in vicinity of Tomb, into which it may be extended almost indefinitely; and for the policy pursued, or Forest Hills Cemetery Corpⁿ is a wise one - (their Rec. Tomb [rough sketch enclosed] contains 286 Catacombs against 30 in or is so far as built,) - there seems to be no doubt that more accommodations will at sometime be required here; and as the same Entrance and Vestibule will serve for a Tomb of any size, it seems

Articles 3 & 10 --

"The office of "Gardener" having been abolished by the action of this Board, the Committee recommend that the third Art. be amended by striking out the word where it occurs in the 10^th line, and that the whole of Art. 10 be stricken out.

Art. 6. Treasurer --

By a knowledge of the facts, you will perceive an inaptness in the amendment to Art. 6, which is embraced in writing after the figure^⁽²⁾. A committee having been chosen in 1861, to consider what reform was needed in the administration of "Affairs at the Cemetery", submitted their report, which was printed, (a copy of which -- no. 1 -with amendments & regulations adopted. Nos. 2 & 3 -- are herewith submitted) in which, among other things they urged that the Chief office of the Treas^r should be at Mount Auburn, and that he should attend every day during certain hours at the Secretary's office in Boston. The plan did not appear to be acceptable to the Board, and the amend^t referred to was adopted by way of compromise. But the Treas^r does not "have an office at Mount Auburn" -- the Com. on Finance have never ordered him "to be in attendance there" -(except once a month to pay the laborers) and he has never had "a Clerk" there in the sense intended in the by-law, but has arranged with the Gatekeeper to perform the duties of Clerk.
