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.
