The $.50 fee is collected for burials in the several private cemeteries within the town. Following signing of the agree- ment, the town board, headed by Supervisor Frederick Wood, voted to withdraw opposition to a bill the cemetery association has asked Senator George L. Thompson to introduce to clear a legal obstacle to the war department purchase. A law enacted in 1928 gave the Pinelawn association the right to sell land to other cemetery asso- clations.

Commissioner Moses was re- ferred to as \dreamer planner and doer\ by speakérs who listed his many accomplishments in the cre- ation of Long Itland parks, park- ways and beaches.
