Contains seven private vaults and 257 crypts. Gypsum Hill Cemetery is owned and under the control of the City of Salina. All receipts collected from the sale of lots and fees from ali sources are applied on the upkeep and beautifying of the grounds. If at any time the receipts are not sufficient, the City will, according to law, levy a tax for the support of the cemetery, so there will always be a positive guarantee that this cemetery will be perpetual. The lot owners have the privilege of placing any style of monument on their lots they may desire, or can build private mausoleums. The rules of the cemetery are very liberal and are made for the benefit of the lot owners who have a voice in the management just the same as in any other part of the city government. At the request of a large number of lot owners the city has established a perpetual care fund. Any lot owners can, if they so desire, place a small deposit of money which will be placed in the Gypsum Hill Lot Owners Endowment Fund for the perpetual care of the lot. The minimum amount is $ 100 for a full lot, $75 for half lot and $50 for a quarter lot. There are a large number of lot owners taking advantage of this plan, and no doubt in a few years the majority will have this matter of care of their plot of ground forever settled. The money so collected is invested in government bonds and the interest only is used for the upkeep of said lots. 18
