SIXTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT.

The sixty-first annual report to the proprietors is herewith submitted.

The receipts from sales and other sources, and the ordinary expenses, vary little from year to year. The condition of the varlous funds is constantly improving. The return of the funds for this year is as follows : —

The Repair Fund held in trust for the care and repair of such lots as come under that trust is $735,757.68, and the increase of the past year is $50,330.87.

Lhe Permanent Fund amounts to $320,420.80, and the accumulation for the past year is $11,041.03. This fund is growing yearly by the deposit of one third of the gross receipts of the sales “of lots and parts of lots and the intermediate spaces between lots,” and also by the yearly addition of interest on that part of the new fund of $300,000, which has been already deposited, and which this year amounts to $4,310.31.

Should the rate of interest remain at four per cent per annum, and the present yeurly amount of sales continue, the whole fund of $500,000 provided for will probably be accumulated somewhere about the year 1905. The question of a further addition to the fund will then arise, dependent upon the rate of interest then culrent, and the amount of expenditures considered necessary to maintain the character and position of the cemetery. For it is well to bear in mind that instead of four per cent, the present rate, we ° did at first for a term of years receive seven per cent on our deposits for the fund, and that the expenditures then required to maintain the cemetery were on a very much reduced scale as compared with the present time.

The General fund amounts to $92,335.62, and shows an increase

might have fairly been charged to the next year.
