Excerpt from Proceedings in Commemoration of the Settlement of the Town of New Haven: April 25, 1888
The first steps towards the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the settlement of New Haven were taken at a special town meeting held in Loomis" Temple of Music, December 22d, 1887, previous notice in legal form having been given. At this meeting the following votes were passed:
Voted, That the sum of one thousand dollars be and is hereby appropriated from the treasury of the town for the purpose of properly celebrating the 250th anniversary of the settlement of the town of New Haven, if in the judgment of the Board of Selectmen they should deem it best; provided that the Selectmen enquire into the legality of expending such sum.
Voted, That said sum be expended at the discretion of the Selectmen, and that said celebration should be of a civic and historical, rather than of a military character.
In accordance with this action, a public hearing of citizens interested in the celebration was held February 1st, 1888, in response to an invitation published by the selectmen in the daily papers.
