Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Cemetery Department of the City of Boston: For the Fiscal Year 1905-1906 Some of the more important subjects which have occupied the attention of this Board of Trustees within the past year are herein detailed, and we respectfully call attention to the recommendations which are here included, and which have appealed to this Board as being of urgent necessity in the care of the cemeteries. The appropriation made for the fiscal year just ended was of sufficient amount to enable us to at once commence general improvements in each ground, and we were happily enabled to continue this class of work on a much larger scale than heretofore. With one exception, hereafter noted, all general and special work of improvement was paid for out of the regular appropriation. At Mount Hope Cemetery a substantial iron fence, 924 feet in length, was erected on the stone wall which extends from the main entrance of the cemetery on Walk Hill street, and along said street to Harvard street, and thence along Harvard street for. Some distance. This is a marked improvement over the barbed wire fence formerly on this stone wall, and had been recommended by the Trustees in previous years. It is hoped that the appropriation for 1906 1907 will enable us to continue the fence along Harvard street, and we strongly recommend that such work be done at once.
