MAGNIFICENT MAUSOLEUM.
The Catholic Community Mausoleum in Holy Cross Cemetery, San Francisco, which was dedicated on April 10 by Archbishop Hanna, is the most magnificent in America. The exterior is of marble and bronze and the facade is surrounded by a central pylon rising to a height of 65 feet. The interior is finished in white Brocadillo marble. There are 1150 crypts, 18 private sections, and four private rooms, all within splendid corridors of marble and bronze converging on the chapel, which occupies the central space of the edifice. Work on the edifice was started in 1919, and it cost over 300,000 dollars. '
