k <br /> y % <br /> 46 <br /> t <br />�M <br /> Report of Cemetery Commissioners <br /> a <br /> To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: <br /> I hereby submit my report for the year 1959. During the <br /> spring of 1959 I purchased for the Town of Mashpee two rotor <br /> j mowers for the use at the Old Indian Cemetery. It was voted <br /> :i in the last regular Town meeting to buy a mower. I then went <br />' to several places around the Cape where I found I could pur- <br /> chase two mowers for the money that was appropriated for <br /> this department. However with this additional machinery and <br /> i <br /> the amount of money appropriated for this department, there <br /> were no funds provided for maintenance; therefore it cut <br /> t down on the work at the cemetery. In the 1960 budget I have <br /> asked for a small amount of money to cover the cost of main- <br /> tenance of these machines. <br /> c { <br /> t; Early in the fall of 1959 vandalism was reported at the Old <br /> j' Indian Cemetery. Twenty-one large and small monuments <br /> were overturned. I was asked by some of the lot owners to get <br /> an estimate from different monument companies. I did .get <br /> ` �h{ estimates. I also talked to- Mr. Harold Nickerson of the Nick- <br />( F Ft 4q <br /> erson Funeral Home. He then sent Mr. Joseph Sylvia who is <br /> r <br /> i Hal <br /> Vii., , , '' also from the Nickerson Funeral Home, and in less than one <br /> week the monuments were placed in their original position. <br /> In behalf of the families,I would like at this time to thank <br /> the Nickerson Funeral Home of Bourne, Sandwich and San- <br /> ' tuit for the work they did in replacing these stones which was <br /> s Y of no cost to the families affected. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> r <br /> ELMONT B. TOBEY, <br /> _ ; Superintendent <br />
