Poppy chairman Br. 218 Brussels Donna Black BRUSSELS CEMETERY NOTICE Re: Permanent Care on Old Plots The Management is trying to improve the appearance of the cemetery. Financing is difficult. To cut the grass once costs $300.00. The old plots present a problem. Permanent care was not paid and annual care has ceased to be paid. Yet these plots must be maintained. 0 n many of these plots the yearly care was paid until the 1940-1960 period. It would seem when that generation passed on, that the present generation is unaware of the obligation. In an effort to derive some revenue from these plots, the board proposes to contact descendants or relatives of the plot owners, hoping they will pay the permanent care, which for a five grave burial plot is $100.00. Only one notice per piot will be sent. Where possible, it is hoped that person will contact other ^ descendants in order to share the expense. All proceeds received will be invested and the interest generated will help maintain the plots. $100.00 invested at 10% will provide $10.00 per year for cutting the grass, levelling, etc. Please take note that any notices sent are not demands, merely requests, which we hope will meet with approval.
