BY HIS EXCELLENCY
ROGER WOLCOTT,
GOVERNOR:
A PROCLAMATION.
In furtherance of the wise purpose of the Legislature expressed in chapter
32 of the Resolves of the year 1886, and in accordance with the public
sentiment which caused its adoption, I hereby set apart Saturday, the thirtieth
day of April current, as
-A RBOR - DAY-
and I recommend that it be observed by the people of the Commonwealth
AS
in the planting of trees, shrubs and vines, in the promoting of forest growth
and culture, in the adornment of public and private grounds, places and
ways, and in such other efforts and undertakings as shall be in harmony
with the general character of a day so established.
The ardent love of country which from the earliest time has labored and
endured to found, preserve and defend the nation may well spend of its
thought and time in beautifying the goodly heritage which we shall transmit
to the generations which are to follow us.
May the sons find enjoyment and refreshment beneath the shade which
the fathers have planted. With generous thought for the future may all who
love the historic and stately Commonwealth strive to render more beautiful
her highways, her towns and cities, to the end that in the eyes of all men
she may appear fair as she is noble.
Given at the Executive Chamber, in Boston, this twenty-third day of April, in the year
of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-eight, and of the Independence
of the United States of America the one hundred and twenty-second.
ROGER WOLCOTT.
BY HIS ExCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR,
WILLIAM M. OLIN,
Secretary of the Commonwealth.
