4 would be impossible as that information was not available. Next, we requested the total amount of income from 1968, when Perpetual Care became mandatory and the trust fund was set up. We were told that was impossible because of the amount of research required to look through all the audits. (There has been no separate cemetary account all this time, which would have made it quite simple to obtain this information.) So, we hoped some idea could be obtained by taking the total income from all sources for the last complete fiscal year, 1981-82. To this question, we got three different answers: $21,109.82 from Mr. williams office, by Miss Mattley; $l4,937 when Ms. Elwell asked Mr. Williams for the same information; and $l2,906 from the 1981-82 Audit report (p. 87) (Documenta- tion for these figures is in your envelope). Obviously these amounts are different. Mr. Williams suggested it was because they include different items, or cover a greater or lesser period of the fiscal year, 1981-82. This confusion all points up that we need a separate, cumulative account for all income and outgo for the cemetary, from all sources. It should not be this difficult to get such information. At a meeting of the Cernetary commission which Mr. Williams attended, he brought us copies of the status of the Trust Fund and the estimated revenues for 1982-83 (on the sheet marked "A" in your envelopes.) However, this sheet does not list any anticipated payments for Perpetual Care.
