If the old cemetery in this ciiy is to be vacated and ueed for a park, the experiment of our sister city may be of use to our council, as the cost ehown there is far less than would be supposed. If the cost was doublé this amount, the expense of moving the boiiiesiuterred in the old cemetery would be very xlight, and the work should be begun as sooo as it cao be legally done.
