Purchase by Erie County of a 200 grave cemetery plot for indignant Jewish war veterans was recommended by the finance committee of the Board of Supervisors in approving a $5,000 appropriation for that purpose in the 1935 budget.
Purchase of the plot has been recommended for several years by the Buffalo Post of the Jewish War Veterans. The plot, according to local observers, will probably be purchased from Temple Beth-El Cemetery Association.
