To provide you with an accurate answer about the payment made for the land from Mount Pleasant Cemetery for the road expansion, we need specific details about the transaction, such as the original payment year and amount. However, I can guide you on how to adjust historical amounts for inflation.

Steps to Adjust for Inflation

1. Identify the Original Amount and Year: For example, if the transaction happened in 2000 and was paid $100,000.

2. Use an Inflation Calculator: Websites like the Bureau of Labor Statistics' CPI Inflation Calculator in the U.S. can adjust this amount to current dollars.

3. Calculate the Adjusted Amount: Enter the original amount and year, and choose the current year to see what that amount is equivalent to today in terms of purchasing power.

Hypothetical Example

• Original Amount: $100,000 in 2000
• Adjusted for 2023: Approximately $162,000 (an example using average inflation rates)

If you have the original payment details, you can perform this calculation with more accuracy. If you don't have this information, more specific data from municipal records or attending the local government or cemetery offices might be necessary.
