Present: Reeve H.E.Wa1key Deputy Reeve J.W.stone Councillor R.A.Foster Councillor R.G.Chater Councillor L.A.Penrault Clerk H.E.Mil1son. ......,. ...., Special meeting of Council was called by Reeve H.E.Walkey to discuss and resolve upon the following business: - As directed in regular meeting of Council on .Tune'~nd last, the following persons met with Council to discuss abandoned cemeteries and particula~ly the recommendation of ~e Cemetery Board, namely, "The Cemetery Board of Clarke Township recommend that the Clarke 'llownshi,p Council ~ccept title to all the oemeteries listed on By-Law No. 1403, with limited aooess": Mr. Sidney Rutherford, Chairman of -the Cemetery Board Mrs. Alice Chater, Secretary · ' Mr. Arnold Wade, Member Mr. Reginald Lovekin, Member Mr. Arthur 'Thompson, Member Councillors R.G.Chater and ~.~.Perrault, Members Mr. R.S. Magowan Dept. of Health of Ontario . E.R.Lovekin, MUnicipal SOlicitor In discussion, it was generally the opinion that Coun-cil would have 1i ttle difficulty in acquiring ti,tles but that a limited access might be a ~rob1em where cemeteries ~re located a distance from municipal roads. The Cemetery Board could be authorized by the passing of certain by-laws, stated Mr. Magowan, to move tombstones so as to prepare .the grounds for ease of maintenance.' J?le.nning of this kind, it was mentioned, had already been considered by the Board. Cairns might be constructed to provide for the permanent establishment of the stones to enable brushing and levelling and eventua11:\T the cutting of grass so as to produce a minimum of perpetual care. It was also suggested that trees might b€ ' planted, rather than grass, to further reduce the annual cost of care~ to such cemeteries. . Mr. Rutherford said it waS the wish of the Board to request a guarantee to provide for the maintenance of. the cemeteries after restoration. Two annual appropriations, he said, might be necessary to produce such a policy, one for the restoration of cemeteries, and another for investment to provide perpetual care upon earnings. By~ this method of financing, the munici- pa1i ty, he believed, could be assured of maint:aining the oemeteries in question. Solicitor Lovekin concurred with the need for a principle to finance this program. Bequests, he said, are quite likely to ocour and oould be applied to specific fund~ on any parti- cular cemetery for perpetual oare. . The Board and Council were agreed on the advisability of the Board preparing a statement of costseto cover both restora- tion and oontinual care for future presentation to the Counoil,~.; On behalf of the Board, Mr. Rutherford asked Counoil fQr a deoision. on the cemetery at Newtonville now owned. by the . Presbytery of the Presbyterian Churoh of Canda in view of the moneys offered, in the amount of $1,979.78, being inadequate for restoration and care. This business was then referred to resolution. ' Further to the proposed request of a Centennial Project of .Tune 2, 1964, Messrs. Wm~ Bunting, A. MoLaren, R. Forrester, 3. Rutherford and R. Hazelden met with Counoil to further the disoussion of the proposal. This matter was referred to resolution. . 2 - Janutes, Speo~al Meeting of Council, June 15, 1964, oont: Messrs. Vim.
