OF THE TOWN OF GLOUCESTER, MASS.
It was voted to send invitations to Gloucester, England, New Gloucester, Maine, and Rockport, Mass., asking them to be represented at the anniversary.
All committees were authorized to fill vacancies, and were re- quested to organize for work at an early day. Both the Secretary and Treasurer were added to the Executive Committee, and their first meeting was called for Wednesday evening, July 8, 1891, at the office of the City Clerk, City Hall.
ACTION OF THE CITY GOVERNMENTS, 1891, 1892.
In his inaugural address delivered before the City Council, Jan. 4, 1891, Mayor Asa G. Andrews said : -
I wish to call your attention to the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the settlement of Gloucester, which occurs in 1892, and suggest that some- thing be done this year in order to bring it before the people in a way that will more fully prepare them for its observance.
This was the first official notice taken, and, acting upon the sug- gestion, Alderman D. Somes Watson, of Ward Three, introduced the following resolutions at a meeting of the Board of Aldermen, Feb. 20, 1891, which were unanimously adopted, and Alderman Watson was placed on the committee on the part of the aldermen : -
Whereas, His Honor Mayor Andrews took occasion on inauguration day to allude to the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the incorporation of Gloucester as a town, and
Whereas, It will require considerable time and labor to perfect arrange- ments for a proper observance of the same which occurs in 1892,
Therefore, Resolved, That his Honor Mayor Andrews, the president of the Common Council, and one alderman, and two common councilmen constitute a committee to consider and report upon the expediency of cele- brating the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Gloucester as a town in 1892, with such plans, suggestions, and recommendations for the proper observance of the event, as after mature deliberation may seem to them as suitable for the occasion, with an estimate of the expense if the same can be computed.
The Common Council concurred in this at their meeting held Tuesday evening, March 3, 1891, and Messrs. Joseph Parsons, of

TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY
Ward One, and Nathaniel Babson, of Ward Five, were appointed on the part of the Council.
The committee thus appointed reported to the Board of Aldermen at their meeting held Friday evening, March 20, 1891, as follows : -
Your committee are of the opinion that the event should not go by un- noticed. For a full and proper observance of the same it will be necessary to appropriate a sum sufficient to meet the expenses of such a celebration as may hereafter be determined upon by the City Council, and for this purpose the sanction of the General Court is needed by legislative act authorizing the City Council to raise money for the purposes herein named. The time being limited in which to arrange matters suitable to the occasion, and in order to save all the time possible, your committee would recommend the passage of the following order. viz. : -
Ordered, That the Mayor and Aldermen petition the General Court for an act authorizing the City Council to raise a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000) by taxation, for the purpose of celebrating the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the incorporation of Gloucester as a town, during the year 1892, the date to be hereafter determined upon, and of publishing an account of the proceedings of such celebration.
The report was adopted and the petition presented to the State Legislature then in session at Boston. No opposition being made at the hearings a bill covering the request was reported, passed both branches of the Legislature, and was approved by the Governor, May 13, 1891. The bill was as follows : -
Be it enacted, etc., as follows :
SECTION I. The city of Gloucester is hereby authorized to raise by taxation a sum not exceeding five thousand dollars for the purpose of cele- brating the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of its incorporation as a town, and of publishing an account of the proceedings of such celebration.
SECT. 2. This act shall take effect upon its passage.
On April 17, the committee reported the following order to the aldermen, which they adopted, but which the council tabled at its meet- ing of April 21, and at its meeting held May 5 indefinitely postponed :
