Status: Indexed

have erected a substantial Iron fence and
stone Gateway - a beautiful Tower - and
a Well House. - These are all useful and
desirarable, and add much to the beauty of
the place. -

We have also erected a Chapel at a cost
of between forty and fifty thousand dollars,
merely for embelishment, the very few funeral
services held there during the year, if
there be any, hardly being worthy of mention,
and the building being designed for no
other purpose - and It has ^also been determined
to expend fifteen thousand dollars more
for Statues of certain men who deservedly
stand high in the history of the country. -

What other embelishments the present Board
of Trustees or their successors in office, may
deem it proper to make by adding other
works of art, your Committee ^ the undersigned cannot foretell. -

All the embelishments named above have
been completed, or so nearly so as to render
it too late to make any change, with the
exception of the Statuary - this matter is still
open and a change can be made and
a considerable portion of the contemplated expenditure
