  3. Class B. These lots shall be 10 x 5 feet, and

  4. Class C will comprise a portion of ground set
    aside for the interment of such persons who are not

    vate ground. These lots shall be 8 x 4 feet, and
    cannot be selected, but have to be taken as they come
    in rotation, under the direction and written authority
    of the Trustees. Permission shall be given to fence
    the lots in any of these classes, subject to the approval
    of the Trustees, provided that all fences be kept
    within the pegs or boundaries, and that any fence of
    wood shall not exceed 3 feet 6 inches in height.

  5. A drawing of every stone, tomb, pedestal, and

    made for every foot more than 6 feet.

  8. No grave shall, under any circumstances, be
    opened for any new interment sooner than after the
    expiry of seven years from the time of the first or
    last interment, as the case may be.

  9. All monuments, graves, and gravestones must
    be kept in proper repair and condition by and at the
    expense of the owners.
