Cemetery -- Pmts for Lot. -- Mrs. Edith Bryant
Mrs. Edith Bryant, who is purchasing Lot No.6; Block 7; Catholic Division in the
Sunset Hills Cemetery on the payment plan, appeared before the Commission claiming that
she had made certain payments in connection with the purchasing of this lot for which she
had not been given proper credit. Mrs. Bryant presented the following receipts for the
consideration of the Commission:
One Deed Receipt #2675, for $15.00. one Permanent Care Recei~t #281 for $50.00;
and One Interment Permit #121 for '10.00, making a total of ~75.00 which comple-
ted the transaction for Lot 7, including the burial charge.
Mrs. Bryant also presented a memo receipt for $16.25, marked first payment on Lot 6;
Block 7; O. D. All of the above receipts were dated October 29, 1936.
Three memo receipts
ond one Sundry Receipt, issued at a later date represent further payments on said Lot 6,
and check with the City's records. However, Mrs. Bryant also presented a memo receipt in
the amount of $35.00, which she contends represents an additional payment made by her on
said Lot 6, On October 29, 1936, but which the City claims was, no doubt, issued to cover
a deposit made by Mrs. Bryant for the $75.00 payment for Lot 7, for which official receipts
were issued as stated above.
It was explained that Mrs. Bryant had previously talked to City Officials about these
receipts and that Mrs. Bryant's daughter had appeared before the Commission in February,
1939 in connection with the same matter, but no official action was taken.

lot, would be in town Saturday evening and that she could verify the payments made. It was
agreed that a mEEting of Mrs. Bryant, Mrs. Norton and City Officials be made Saturday even-
ing to discuss the matter with a view to getting it straightened out.
