Cemeteries Agree to Burial Fees and Revenue Plan
Representatives of Forest Park and major cemeteries reached a Thursday agreement to pay one dollar per burial, with Forest Park set to receive for 1027 burials in 1823. The plan, not a tax, is a donation-like revenue measure, covering 3500 to 4000 dollars for the village treasury this year, based on estimated 4000 burials in 1922. The three largest cemeteries Forest Home Concordia and Waldheim accounted for over 2000 burials and Jewish cemeteries totaled around the same, while street-sweeping payments from cemeteries add further income. The village clerk will compile records and secure written agreements from all undertakers.
