A combined cemetery for Jews, Catholics and Protestants is planned by the Bethlehem Cemetery Corporation which has just been organized here. According to the announcement, a one hundred and three acre cemetery will be developed at Milltown, N. J., and this tract will be divided into equal parts for the three respective faiths.
