Interest Paid on Time Deposits. IN SEVEN YEARS. What Has Been Done by the Rose mont Cemetery Company Within the Past Decade. COMPANY IS NOW IN FINE SHAPE. There was a time when Rosemont Cemetery was not the most attrac tive spot to be found. In fact it was more or less neglected, and not much care was taken of it. Some years ago the entrance was improv ed by the erection of a residence for the sexton. It was not until seven years ago, when William R. Ringrose was elected Superintendent, that things began to look different. Col. Freeze and he took matters in hand, and from that time on, improvements were made both in outward appear ance, and in financial management, until today the company has money at interest, and the grounds are beautifully kept. Mr. Ringrose was elected Super intendent on September ist, 1902. At that time there was paid to him the sum of $145.54. which was all the money the company possessed. Its liabilities were a $2000 mort gage, with $300 of unpaid interest; and a floating debt of about $500. Today these debts are all paid, and there is an invested fund of about $1800.00. The cash receipts of the compa ny for the past seven years have been as follows: For year ending Sept. 1, lflO.'J 2VU.1S " linn :M!.-..!t:t .. .1 " lNO,! 40,"i.Ul " ' llMHi 81MHI.13 " " " l!H)7 4277.32 i. " " l)OS Ht)S!).07 ' ' 1)10! 4-27.0S With this money the debts have all been paid; the new cemetery has been paid for; a handsome new of fice building at the cemetery en trance has been erected at a cost of $2000; an iron fence has been erect ed on First street at a cost of $642; a stone walk costing $225 has been laid; a uew drive through the cem etery has been made, costing $225; a steam plant has been installed in the sexton's house, costing $285.87 ; the house has been painted, which cost $76.87; and a draft of all the lots in the cemetery has been made at an expense of about $100. It involved the measurement and sur vey of every lot, and took much time and labor. With this drafi the Superintend ent is able to locate any lot desired at a moment's notice, where before it required a search through the cemetery. There is on hand and all paid for, nearly $600 worth of slate vaults for grave linings. It was discovered by Col. Freeze and Mr. Ringrose, by an examina tion of the books, that there were many lots on which little or noth ing had been paid by the purchas er. A systematic plan of collection was instituted, and nearly every lot was fully paid for, thus realizing many hundreds of dollars for the company. Another very proper plan was adopted by making a charge of a dollar a year for the care of each lot Theretofore many graves were uncared for, no attention being giv en them except what the sexton gave them. Now each lot owner is asked for a dollar, and the result is two or three,hundred dollars in the aggregate, and the company cares for a! I graves, and keeps the grounds in Due order. Another innovation is the keep ing of a complete record of every burial', with the name, age, cause ROSEMONT. Second Election on Monday Resulted in a Great Victory for the Old Board. THE LARGEST VOTE EVER POLLED. The second election for managers of Rosemont Cemetery Company was held at the office of Col. J. G. Freeze on Monday afternoon. At the regular election held two weeks ago, but seven of the eleven mana gers were elect;d, there being a tie vote on the other four. In such a case the by-laws pro vide for another election, and ac cordingly September 27th was ap pointed, the vote to be for four managers to make up the required number. The members of the old board who were candidates for re-election were C. A. Kleitu, W. R. Ringrose, W. O. Holmes and C. S. Furman. The candidates of the opposition were William Shutt, Frank Kash uer, John W. Harman aud Thos. Gunther. The result of the election was 320 for Kleim, Ringrose, Holmes and Furman, and 169 for the new candidates. The seven previously elected are Col. Freeze, V. H. Hidlay, S. F. Peacock, Frank Ike ler, John Scott, G. G. Baker, and Geo. A McKelvy. The regular meeting of the new board will be held next Monday night. A NEW PIPE ORGAN. Iu addition to 'the many exten sive improvements now being made at the Reformed Church, a fine pipe organ will soon be installed, which will add to the beauty of the interior, and greatly enrich the service. The organ will be presented to the church by Mrs. M. E. Eut as a memorial. It will come from the factory of R. Miduier & Son, of Brooklyn, who built the Episcopal aud Methodist organs. This will be the second organ presented to this congregation by Mrs, Eut. Some years ago she and her mother, Mrs. Petriken, donated a large Vocaleon as a memorial to Mrs. Ent's daughter. The new pastor, Rev. Mr. Slough is expected here this week. GONE TO TRINITY COLLEGE. The Freshman class at Trinity College, Hartford, Conn , has six-tv-five members. Among them is Ethelbert Talbot Smith, son of Dr. and Mrs. E. Franklin Smith of New York. Dr. Smith is a son of Mrs. Nettie Smith formerly of this town, and a great nephew of Mrs. Judge Elwell. Mrs. Smith is a daughter of the late Col. Samuel Ktiotr. Both are well known here. of death, date of death and burial, 1 of the deceased. For all of tliece changes and im provements the credit is due to the managers who authorized them, and to William R. Ringrose who has so well carried them out. That the great majority of the lot owners are well satisfied with the management of the old board, and with Superintendent Ringrose, was attested by the result of the election on Mond.iy last. Mr. Ringrose will undoubtedly be reappointed to the position that he has filled so well. -COMPTROLLER'S CALL.- RKPOKT OI TIIIC tfyt QiSfoomsBurg At the Close of Business RESOURCES. U. S.
