<br /> 7 <br /> (Please let me be clear on this point: We are not recommending <br /> an "In-House" operation.) Copies o£ receipts £or Cemetary fees <br /> of all kinds could be sent to Ms. Elwell--but I am sure Mr. <br /> Williams will figure out some simple device to keep her fully <br /> informed of all income and outgo, for the cemetary. She then <br /> - <br /> can keep the records, cumulatively. <br /> Second, certainly, we must continue to fund the Maintenance <br /> Contract until some urgent capital improvements are accomplished <br /> and until the "Cemetary Income Fund" has a chance to build up <br /> and accumulate--since everything collected up to now has gone <br /> into the General Fund and is "down the drain," so to speak, as <br /> far as its availability for the cemetary now is concerned. <br /> There are various ways to fund the cemetary. Some members <br /> of the Commission believe that we should utilize a legal special <br /> Cemetary tax of up to 5 cents on each $lOO o£ assessed valuation. <br /> For example, the present assessed valuation is, in round numbers, <br /> according to Mr. Williams, $356,154.000. Divide that by lOO <br /> and multiply it by .05 cents and you will see it could yield <br /> $178,977--more than enough to fund the Cemetary. Two cents <br /> would probably be enough. Remember, that there would still be <br /> the steady income from fees and Perpetual Care payments, addi- <br /> tionally. <br /> Some members of the Commission figure that to compensate <br /> for the past interest from Perpetual Care £unds and the income <br /> from fees, all of which has "disappeared" into the General Fund <br /> since 1961 (and probably before that), we ~ the Cemetary <br />
