Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical Records of Staten Island To Mr. Robert Moore, Supervisor of the Town of Castleton, is due the credit of being the first to suggest the celebration of the Bi-Centennial organization of Richmond County, and from suggestions made by him the Board of Supervisors called a meeting of the citizens to co-operate with them in perfecting the plans for a grand celebration of the event. The first meeting of citizens was held September 22d, 1883, at which Hon. Erastus Brooks was chosen President; Hon. Geo. Wm. Curtis, Louis DeJonge, Erastus Wiman and Dr. Ephraim Clark, Vice-Presidents; Geo. H. Daley, Recording Secretary, and Charles Arthur Hollick, Corresponding Secretary. At this meeting the subject was fully discussed, and the result was the authorizing the Supervisors to appoint a committee of four citizens from each Town, in conjunction with themselves, to act as a Committee of Arrangements. This Committee was afterwards increased to nine from each Town, which, together with the Supervisors, was to be known as the Citizens´ Commitee of Fifty. At this meeting, on motion of Dr. Ephraim Clark, Hon. Erastus Brooks was unanimously chosen to prepare and deliver an historical address, and he accepted the same. At a subsequent meeting of this Committee, Professor Anton G. Methfessel was chosen Chairman, and Theo. C. Vermilye, Secretary. A sub-committee of four from each Town, in conjunction with the Supervisors, was appointed by the Chairman, to be known as the Executive Committee, and to them was referred the whole subject to report a plan for the celebration, &c. The Executive Committee organized with Frederick White as Chairman and Duncan R. Norvell as Secretary, and after considerable discussion, a parade was decided upon, and full particulars of same reported to the full Committee of Fifty, which, with a few amendments, was adopted, and the matter referred back to the Executive Committee, with full power to consummate such arrangements as in their judgment would be best to make a perfect success.
