(A) To secure a good effect in the cemetery, it is essential that every portion of it should be well cared for, as partial neglect would mar the beauty of the entire surroundings; therefore, the care of all lots is assumed by the Trustees; the avenues and walks will be kept in good condition; trees and shrubbery will be trimmed and pruned, and the turf will be kept mowed.
(B) No persons other than the employees will be permitted to perform any work on any lot without a permit from the caretaker.
(1) All grading or improvement of lots must be done by the employees of the cemetery. Moderate estimates will be given by the caretaker, and all charges must be paid before the work is begun.
(2) If any trees or shrubs situated in said lot, shall by means of their roots, branches or otherwise, become detrimental to the adjacent lots or avenues, or dangerous or inconvenient, it shall be the duty of said Trustees and they shall have the right to remove said trees or shrubs or such parts thereof as are detrimental or dangerous.
(3) The placing of boxes, unsecured toys, shepherd hooks and similar articles upon the graves or lots, or flowers planted in the sod is prohibited. The Board of Trustees reserve the right to remove all flowers, potted plants or wreaths and the like, when frosted, faded or withered.
(4) Rusty, unpainted or broken benches, seats or urns, will be removed from the lots and not be allowed to be replaced.
(5) Flowers growing on graves will not be permitted to remain unless properly cultivated and kept continually free from weeds or grass.
(6) When permission for special planting has been obtained, the trees or shrubs planted become the property of the cemetery.
