I The proposed orditiairiXe requiring vaults for all adult interments at Sunset Hills
Cemetery, having been tables for a period of two weeks for further investigation in
regard to the use of materials other than wood which would meet City specifications,
was agaIDn presented for discussion.
Several interested persons were present to discuss the use of vaults and to
register their protests. Directors from both funeral homes were also present to
explain the addition fee which would be involved as a result';of this requirement
for burials. Objections dealt less with the vault requirement than with the failure
or refusal of City Cemetery crews to leave the coffin during the graveside service.

additional expense for leveling the lots was prohibitive.

Ordinance be passed and adopted. It was moved by Commissioner Sedivy, seconded by
