A perpetual care program for new burial plots sold will be worked out as soon as possible if the citizens desire such a plan. An effort will be made to install in-stall a sprinkling system on the area between the curb and sidewalk side-walk fronting on the church park block with it to be planted this year if possible. It was reported that the improvement im-provement of the lane running west from Main street past the Taylor Cafe, is being held up because be-cause of the inability to acquire deed to one or two pieces of property prop-erty needed to widen that lane.
