<br /> 8 <br /> support from the General Fund until a fund can be built up, <br /> until the Cemetary could become self-sustaining. Meanwhile, <br /> we will have to pay maintenance out of the General Fund. <br /> Third, we must face up to the immediate needs for major <br /> capital improvements--in this order: sprinkling system, roads, <br /> and fences. <br /> If you will read the present Cemetary Maintenance contract <br /> (p. 4), you will note that the contractor is excused from <br /> watering certain portions where the water "pressure is below <br /> 40 psi, or where more than 150 feet of hose are required." <br /> Such areas are increasing annually. <br /> So--how can the City keep faith with the terms of the <br /> Trust Agreement with all those who have paid, and ~ paying, <br /> for Perpetual Care? (We have a moral and a legal responsibility, <br /> according to the terms of the trust, to provide this care.) <br /> We urgently need a new watering system. Our recommendation <br /> is to forget about the present old system. Why? Because there <br /> is no known map of the pipes. We know many pipes are broken <br /> when certain areas of the earth are always wet, or when there <br /> is practically no pressure at many of the faucets. Some pipes <br /> have been broken when graves were being dug. The only logical <br /> course is to install a whole new sprinking system. This will <br /> be made relatively simple because of the water tower that is <br /> located on the undeveloped part of the cemetary. We can run <br /> the pipe from that tower, with natural pressure, to the cemetary. <br /> Then, for the first time, you will be able to meter the water. <br />
