Excerpt from Annual Report of the Cemetery Department of the City of Boston for the Fiscal Year 1903-1904: Including the by-Laws, Rules and Regulations of the Cemetery Department, and the Historical Sketch of the First Burning Ground in Roxbury In 1903 the City Council specified $500 of the Cemetery Department appropriation to be expended on the Legion of Spanish War Veterans' Lot in Mount Hope. (see financial statement.) In accordance therewith a granite entrance was placed on the lot. A stone boulder bearing a bronze tablet has also been erected, and two cannons donated by the United States Government have been placed in position. These improvements have added materially to the appearance of the lot, which occupies a conspicuous place in Mount Hope Cemetery, and is a creditable reflection upon the generosity of the city government towards the citizen soldiery.
