City of Ank Arbor, Jlayor's Oflice, Oct. 3, 1883, i To the Honorable the Common Couucil : Gentlemen,- I have been requested by Professor W. S. Perry aud the Keverend E. D. Kelly, representing respectively the public, and St. Thomas parochial schools of Ann Arbor, to cali your oflicial atteution to the approaching commemoration of the diseovery of America. As you are probably well aware tne 21st day of October iust. has been designated by the President and by the Governor of this state, by executive proclamations, as a memorial day and in furtherance of its due observancc the schools have especially interested themselves to prepare such proper ceremonials as will testify the patriotic devotioa of pupils and teachers to the land we love. If the City, as such, should deern it advisable to particípate with the schools in any public demonstration, it ia necessary that immediate steps be taken to formúlate a program íor the same, in order that the schools and the city may act in harmouy. The time for action being now so very short, it would seem to ine that the utmost our citizens can do will be to attend the school exercises aud thus evince their interest; to parade their civic and militarv orgauizations if practicable and generally to display their fiags and banuers in honor of the day. Should no other plan suggest itself to your honorable body, I wouli respectfully recommend the above observance to our citizens. In the meantime I take this opportuuity to ihank both Prof. Perry aud the Kev. Fr. Kelly and their pupils for iheir patriotic efforts aud to assure them of our high nppreciation of the game.
