More Vandalism
At the time of penning an article last week in reference to the recent robberies at "Edge Hill Cemetery" we were unaware of the extent of the depredations committed. Since then we have heard of a number of lot owners who are complaining bitterly of mutilations and thefts perpetrated on their lots
All this only adds fuel to the argument in favor of the immediate erection of a watcher's lodge on the premises- a measure which recent occurrences have proved indispensable, and which we trust will be attended to without further delay
