To the Honorable Mayor, Asa G. Andrews, much meed of praise is due. From the very outset of his administration he had sounded forth the words which bound the city to the celebration, and on every occasion he had reiterated his position so that there was no backward step possible. He also displayed rare executive ability and 'felt just pride at the splendid result of his labors.
THE PERMANENT MEMORIAL COMMITTEE.
At the very outset of the discussion which finally culminated in the plans of the proper celebration of the anniversary, one fact stood out strong and clear, and that was that some permanent memorial worthy of Gloucester and her history should be the result. In all the discus- sions in the City Council and in the newspapers that was never lost sight of. While differences of opinion prevailed as to what shape that memorial should assume, no one ever dared express an opinion that

TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTIETHI ANNIVERSARY
there should be no memorial permanent in its character. The wish of the people found expression in the appointment on the committee, who should have charge of the work, of citizens of strong character and representative standing, of decided opinion in this matter, and who could finally be depended upon to place before our people a suitable and permanent memorial. Frequent meetings of this committee were held and frequent conferences with the Executive Cominittee.
It would be well nigh impossible to state within this meniorial volume all the different plans advanced or schemes suggested, each one strongly advocated. It is enough to say that but one spirit animated every one, - What was the best memorial for Gloucester? If it be an industry, what industry ? If some charitable or benevolent institution, what? and if a statue or memorial gateway, of what design and character ?
The Executive Committee gave willing ear to the requests of the Memorial Committee, and while never voting a stated sum for their use, again and again decided that whatever balance should be left after paying all bills should be for this purpose. They repeatedly urged upon the other committees the utmost care that expenditure should be kept down so that a handsome balance should thus be obtained. The original purpose has never been lost sight of. In recent years no meet- ing of the Executive Committee has been held but what reference has been made to this memorial and provision made for it.
As a result of the agitation made, it seemed clear to the com- mittee and the people that the city should avail itself of the oppor- tunity to secure the Stage Fort grounds for a public park forever to the people. Agitation brought result, and through an enabling act of the Legislature this historic spot, among the most historic places in all New England, has been bought by the city and is forever the property of all her people. If for no other purpose, the celebration of 1892 was worth all the labor and all the money and all the anxiety.
The Memorial Book, too, is, in a certain sense, a memorial perma- nent in its character. It preserves for all time the record and the doings of this anniversary of 1892. As the years go by it will prove even more valuable to those who come after and become the worthy descendants of worthy ancestors.
But neither of these are the memorial which the committee have had in mind. While nothing tangible has yet been brought forth and adopted, it is no idle boast or statement that the Permanent Memorial Committee will not cease their labors until they have erected and dedicated with suitable ceremony some memorial to be as lasting

Financial Statement.

THE FINANCES OF THE CELEBRATION.
TN the management of the financial side of the celebration, everyone exercised the greatest care ; both the members of the general com- mittee (executive) and those who were on the sub-committee, vying with each other to make every dollar tell. Before any appropriation was granted, the Executive Committee discussed fully the whys and the wherefores. And to the treasurer, Mr. Charles S. Tappan, great credit and praise is due for the system he adopted in regard to the financial part under his care. Money was only paid out after carefully drawn blanks had been signed by the chairman of the sub-committee, authorizing and countersigned by the chairman of the Executive Com- mittee, and these blanks were in duplicate. Moreover, each vote of the Executive Committee authorizing any sub-committee to spend money was immediately sent the treasurer, who thereupon placed the money to the credit of the particular sub-committee. And, as the receipts were very heavy, and the expenditures also, covering a period of several months, these slight words of appreciation are due Mr. Tappan, who cheerfully gave his time and his labor. We give in detail the treas- urer's statements, the general statement of each committee, appropri- ation, expenditure, and balance, detail statements, and a list of the subscribers. To raise the large amount of money subscribed required much persistent labor, and that so many gave, whether it was much or little, testified to the intense loyalty of these sons and daughters, whether still citizens of the old city or living far and away, as well as to the affection of those who had become residents here from other places or did business therein.

Of the expenditures of the remaining committees not given in detail in this chapter, it has been impossible to get their statement of their receipts and expenditures, so many years have elapsed. However, at the close of the celebration, the books of the Treasurer were carefully audited, the bills examined, and everything found absolutely correct.

THE FINAL WORD.
TN presenting these records of the celebration to the public the committee realize that much has been omitted which, by right, belonged within the covers of this book. It has been found that much has been lost or mislaid which would have proved most interesting. Diligent and careful research has failed to bring to light much needed material.
We desire to extend our thanks to the many who have so gener- ously assisted us in getting together what we here publish; who have furnished many rare pictures we are enabled to reproduce, and who have spoken the words of encouragement that have made the work of preparation a sincere pleasure and not a task.
In bringing to a close our labors, we desire to republish the vote of thanks passed at the thirty-ninth meeting of the Executive Commit- tee, Sept. 28, 1892, as most fitting to be final words in these printed records.
1642. THANKS TO ALL. 1892.
The Executive Committee who had charge of the celebration of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the incorporation of Gloucester as a town, desire, in closing up their work, to extend sin- cere thanks to each and all who, by word, act, or deed did so much to make the event an unqualified success.
