While there' have been similar

The most .recent" incident, came
,to light when Mr. Bradshaw found::
the main gate : open when he art;

though pedestrbeeniagates are` always

Smashing of tombstones is not a

occurred many,times over the past
few years.
• Every time the cemetery is
cleaned up, Mr. Bradshaw said,.
the, litter includes a -'quantity of
beer and liquor bottles =which are
found strewn throughout the ceme-

make a practise of using the conte.:;
