<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />/~'"?#7 <br /> <br />PROPOSAL FROM J.C. HARTLEY RE: MAUSOLEUM <br /> <br />Ma*,ch, 1971 <br /> <br />Oh March 12, 1971, Mr. J,C. Hartley came to my office to <br /> <br />make a proposal to the City Council. Mr. Hartley owns the <br /> <br />Mausoleum in the San Marcos City Cemetery, and he wishes to <br /> <br />deed it to the City. The only provisions to the gift are: <br /> <br />1) That he be given assurance that the building and crypts <br /> <br />will be given "perpetual care", as guaranteed when he sold <br /> <br />the spaces; and 2) That he be allowed to retain the five <br /> <br />crypts which he had reserved for his own family's use, <br /> <br />Mr. Hartley bought 24 spaces @ $10.00 each (total: $240.00) <br /> <br />from the City, about 1958. He built the limestone building <br /> <br />at a cost in excess of $16,000. It covers the entire space, <br /> <br />except for a 3! ft. walk and landscaped area around the <br /> <br />building. The Mausoleum contains a total of 80 crypts, <br /> <br />of which 38 remain unsold. They are the proper size for a <br /> <br />standard casket. Mr. Hartley states that the present price <br /> <br />schedule is too low, 1n comparison with other mausoleums. <br /> <br />He has sold crypts on the top row for $330.00, and those on <br /> <br />the lower row, for $360.00. <br /> <br />Maintenance on the building consists of sweeping out once a <br /> <br />month. <br /> <br />Mr. Hartley is in poor health and would like an answer from <br /> <br />the Council as Soon as practical. Details of the transfer <br /> <br />could be worked out easily as soon as a decision is made. <br /> <br />(jftA/r <br /> <br />Dorothy O. Worrell <br />City Secretary <br />
