CEMETERY LOTS CHARGES INCREASED

President Darden laid before the Board a report by the Cemetery Committee dated 8 June
1955, and pointed out that there was divergent opinion in regard to some of its provisions, some
of which had not been reconciled with the legal advice of the University's Special Counsel. In
response to the President's statement that an increased fee for spaces in the cemetery is
needed to assist in maintenance, the Board adopted the following resolution:

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that the charge for lots in the University Cemetery be and it is hereby increased from twenty
dollars ($20.00) to forty dollars ($40.00) effective this date.
