If the voter so registered fails to vote at any general election, his or her name must be dropped from the list of registered voters; or if the voter removes from the house or street number from which he or she may have registered, he or she must personally appear before the city clerk and be reregister- ed.- -State Law. The registration books are open at all times during the year at the office of the City Clerk except the 10 days before each election, at which time they will remain closed until after the election.

Which shall it be? A fund for perpetual maintenance is provided, so that purchasers of space may be sure that the building will always be well cared for, without any additional expense to the purchasers. GYPSUM HILL CEMETERY OF SALINA It is unfortunate that the selection of a family plot is so generally ignored until the hour of grief. The relatively simple task becomes a distressing burden. Every family should be spared this ordeal by selecting the plot, and a family memorial with the same sensible foresight and economy which prompts us to provide insurance and to make our wills. Urge your friends and relatives to avoid this distressing experience by selecting the plot and family memorial in advance. In the confusion and emotion which comes with sorrow it is impossible to consider carefully the most desirable locations, the probable number of interments eventually to be made, the type of memorial to be placed on the plot, the planting that should beautify the setting and otner important factors. If your family plot has been selected under condi- tions which made a careful study impossible, then the cemetery will readily change the location, applying the cost of the original site to the new lot. GYPSUM HILL CEMETERY and HILLCREST MEMORIAL MAUS- OLEUM, are owned and under the control of the City of Salina. All receipts collected from the sale of lots and from all sources are applied on the upkeep and beautifying of the ground. If at any time the receipts are not sufficient, the City must according to law, levy a tax for the support of the cemetery, so there will always be a positive guarantee that the cemetery will be perpetual. The lot owners have the privilege of placing any style of monument on lots they may desire, or may 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. Eventually you will want to decide on one or the other. Why not decide now, calmly and carefully, giving due consideration to all of the factors involved? 43
