appointed
1 AD JOURNMEI4"I.T
Power Company with regard to street light services, for the
purpose. of improving some of the exiting services, and
additions of needed lights, and that it was considered that
the light requested on Garner Avenue should be instal]_ed,
also, that increased size of lights on Dora Higl~xway from
2500 to 4000 lumen was justified, in~~tead of 6000 lumen
requested, and in event the 4000 lumen were not sufficient,
they could be changed later to the 6000 lumen.
T_he Council met v'+ith the Board of Trustees of
the Oakwood Cemetery Association, and discussed possible
means of improving the cemetery. It was stated that the
Trustees would very probably be. able to obtain sizeable
funds for endowment to be invested an d used in the upkeep
of the cemetery, although the Town would have to undertivrite
and support current maintenance for several years. It was
suggested that the control of the cemetery should be given
to the Trustees. There appeared t o be a number of recommen-
dations, and it was thought desirable that a special
committee from the Board of Trustees and the Council should
jointly discuss the matter and develop more specific recommen-
dations. The Mayor then appointed Messrs. ~'h.ite, Wirt and
Aust, and the Board of Trustees Chairman appointed Mrs. T.
J. t~"allner, J.L. Bunts and Mfatta 3t®ger.
The meeting was adjourned.
