Arborcrest Cemetery Mowed. Mowing makes a big difference in the appearance of Arborcrest Cemetery. Covered with knee-high weeds which obscured floral arrangements and gravemarkers when pictures appeared in The News July 11, the markers and flowers are now within view, and the rolling land included in the 40-acre cemetery and its trees and bushes are neatly manicured. All this took place since a court decision on July 12, which restored the onetime 77-acre cemetery to a 40-acre cemetery. The cemetery was not well cared for during the course of the lawsuit which sought to overturn the sale of 60 acres of the 77 to the University. Circuit Judge James R. Breakey Jr. on July 12 ordered the U-M to return 23 acres.
