As a result of a city-wide election held on April 6,1948, the city government was authorized to establish and maintain cemeteries, and thereafter an ad valorem tax has been levied and collected and used in maintaining the cemeteries in the city. The City Council, through this subchapter, sets policies, rules and regulations relating to the cemeteries in the city and declares the city to be the successor trustee to A. P. Smart, W. A. Dillard and A. C. Lewellen, Trustees, in the deed from Mrs. A. B. Edwards and others, dated August 11,1903, recorded in Vol. 16, page 595, Deed Records, Titus County, Texas. This deed conveys to the three trustees certain lands to be used as a burial ground.
