The Mayor, Mr Kidd, accompanied by Mr P. Dignan, chairman of the Cemetery Committee, paid a visit to the cemetery at Waikumete this morning. They found the contracts for tree-falling, fencing, and painting finished to the complete satisfaction of the engineer. The new Government portion of the cemetery has been ploughed and sown in grass, and is now ready for immediate use. The former Government ground was becoming crowded, and was unfavourably situated. The Cemetery Committee, it is pleasing to note, have taken great interest in the cemetery. Auckland Star, Volume XXXIII, Issue 269, 22 November 1901, Page 2
