New Rules For Lakeside Cemetery Grave Decorations

Some changes as to what may be used for decorating grave sites at Port Huron’s Lakeside Cemetery were adopted at Monday night’s Port Huron City Council Meeting.  A recent problem according to workers has been the clutter of beer cans and other inappropriate items on display at the graves.  Also approved last night, was the hiring of Lorio-Ross Sterling Entertainment Inc. of Royal Oak to do the staging and sound for sixth annual Rockin’ the Rivers music series this August.  Council was updated as to the city’s progress in separating its combined sewers.  Robert Clegg, City Engineer says about 97 percent of the work is complete.  In Marysville, council approved three applications for tax abatements for SMR Automotive Systems USA Inc. at Monday’s meeting.
