Post Office Dept., Ottawa Snowdon Bros;,- Publishers MEETING ARGUES SPENDING OF CEMETERY TRUST FUNDS Seaforth 'and. district moved a step closer to solving the prob- lem. of providing a Protestant cemetery: for the community, at a meeting held on Monday. A couimittee was appointed with re- presentatives from' the Seaforth, Tuckersmith and. 10Ki11op coun- cils, Unite.d, Presbyterian and' Anglican Churches in town,' Eg- mondvill'e, Duff's, Winthrop, Be- thel and Kinburn Churches. This committee was to determine the Possibility of forming a cemetery company whose shares would' be owned by the above Organiza- tions, or if it should be, operated as a municipal organization with deficits covered from tax reveu-. nes. The meeting was held in Sea - forth Porth town hall with 1 pr senta tives of many of the churches and fraternal organizations and . clubs present. Also present were a number. of members of North- side church cemetery board. The Northside Church owns Malt, land Bank Cemetery which is Presently the chief burial place in the community . for Protest- ants. Councillor John Baldwin pre- sided. He called on Councillor John Turnbull who was on the town's committee appointed to bring the interested parties to- gether. He said the cemetery board had appealed to the town council last year to relieve the Northside Church of responsibil- ity 'for continuing deficits' incur- red in the operation of Maitland Bank cemetery. However the matter had not been followed up. One difficulty Dr. Turnbull slid was the difficulty of put- ting the cost of operating tate cemetery on a municipal tax rate was the large number of Roman Catholic tax payers. Also if it were taken over by Seaforth a higher rate would have to be charged for burials outside the municipality if surrounding mun- icipalities did not assist, Dr. Turnbull said that while there were many advantages in having it operated by a munici- pality he would suggest the meet- ing consider if a cemetery com- pany could not be formed. The shares could be owned by the various churches in the percent- age that they 'would use the. cemetery. He thought they could gradually buildup a fund for perpetual upkeep. J. A. Westcott read a brief fin- ancial summary -of the present board. It hacl been necessary to. cash two thousand dollars in se- curities to cover the deficit this year. Otherwise Northside con- gregation would have had to meet the deficit, and he did not think this was fair. in answer to a question he estimated that be- tween $4000.to $6000 worth of se - entities had been cashed in re- cent years. The board has only $155,000 left and in a few years these would be gone. Mi, Baldwin in answer to a question said only the interest should be used offperpetual up- keep funds, otherwise the capi- tal disappears. Mr. Baldwin described how Goderich operated its cemetery. In the neighborhood of $8000 a year is required from the tax pay- ers. The undertakers are respon- sible for the collection of cost of opening graves, etc. Mr, Westcott said Clinton op- erated a somewhat similar sys- tem, the Roman Catholics having part of the. cemetery. It was announced that Father Weber had told town officials that the Ronan Catholic Ceme- tery was operating satisfactorily and it was not desired to joie a community cemetery at present. llr. Westcott said about athird of Maitlandbank 'Cemetery had no perpetual upkeep, but the board had to maintain it. Com- paratively -few new lots were be- ing sold now: many burials were in lots or plots which families had purchased many years ago. John Modeland who has long been connected with Egmondvilie Cemtery asked if Maitland Bank did not keep the operating and upkeep funds in separate ac- counts. He understood only the interest was to be used off up- keep funds.' Ross Savauge suggested the meeting do something .. definite,. There had been two conferences and so far there were no results.. Years ago the upkeep costs had been nothing like they are now. You could not ask first cousins to contribute to the upkeep of lots, although the grandchildren might be asked. Dick Box said no grave could be opened now on a lot unless perpetual upkeep were paid, In answer to a question he said un- dertakers here seldom pay for the cemetery costs. Only in cases when there are no relatives here and the body le coming from a distance. Reeve Ivan Fo'eyth of Tuck- ersmith said the township did not know what to do. He was told Seaforth hats 60 per cent of the burials, McKillop and' Tucker - smith each 20 per cent. M. MacKellar said Harpurley cemetery was little used, they have about $4000 in trust funds mostly left under a special agree- ment. He thought it unlikely they world want to go into a general scheme. E. C. Boswell asked about re- covering the funds that had been dispersed. Ross- Scott said he was not Next Week Is ff liday Week Next week is our holiday week and no paper will be published.
