Cemetery committee to discuss ordinances and funding, inspect damaged graves and headstones at 9 a.m. Sat.

The Cemetery and City Property Committee of the Midway City Council will meet at 9 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 3 at City Hall, and continue its meeting at the cemeteries in the city.

The meeting notice says the committee will "discuss ordinance changes and address [the] problem of maintenance funding" for graves that are 100 or more years old, and will drive to the cemeteries to look at damaged graves and headstones.

At last week's City Council meeting, former council member Johnny Wilson reported that 71 of the 303 headstones in the two old African American cemeteries need resetting, repair or replacement, and donated $1,000 for that purpose.

All committee and council meetings are open to the public, regardlkess of location.
