Excerpt from Annual Report of the Receipts and Expenditures, Reports of Departments, Etc: For the Municipal Year, 1873 In touching upon this subject I cannot refrain from call ing your attention to the importance of beautifying the grounds. An appropriation of $500 was made last year, and with it many Improvements have been made; but let not the work cease here. The grounds, naturally beautiful, can be made still more so by art and a small expenditure each year. In this, the Silent city, lie the old fathers and honored citizens who have finished their work and have passed to their reward.
