Pucheu, Rotarians;
and A. Coreil, Aurelien Landreneau, members of the Town Council, all 
present, met this day to
organize a permanent body, the aims and purposes of which are:

1. To enclose and beautify the old Ville Platte Cemetery and the upkeep of 
same.

2. To plat out the new portion or north section of said cemetery and amrk 
grave sites, alleys,
walks and drive-ways, etc.

3. To make rules and regulations for the burial of people in said cemetery 
and to draw
specifications for tombs to be constructed in the future and also for the 
repairing of those
now existing.

4. To make a survey of the existing graves and identify those that are 
marked and, as far as
possible, those that are unmarked, and provide ways and means for marking 
the unmarked graves.

5. To devise ways and means to raise a fund by popular subscription from the 
general public and
especially from the relatives of the people who are buried in said cemetery 
in order that the last
resting place of the pioneers of the Ville Platte community and those who 
are to follow shall be
made a beauty spot, instead of an eye-sore, which is the case in
