For the enlargement of the cemetery grounds and enclosing the same, and for the annual repairs of the hospital buildings, fences, &c, and for keeping the grounds in good condition, there will be required for the next fiscal year the sum of $ 21,000. This appropriation is highly necessary, as the area of the cemetery is very limited and much exposed to depredation.
