225 been attended with such success as to Wan-ant holding out the hopeof an early date for beginning the work of a memorial to the people who Hfst settled the State of New York. Twelve hundred iif d ll and ty o ars in subscriptions have turned out to be uncollectable, since those making the Sub- scriptions have died, and their executors do not consider themselves under obligations, or, for other reasons, do not feel disposed to pay them. The Committee has appealed, on this ground, to some of the large subscribers to pay in their subscriptions at this time. If this were done, 3 5,690.00 would be added to the sum now on hand, making an aggregate of S,BII,443.4I. This would make nearly one-third of what may be considered a conservative estimate of the sum needed to secure a proper statue. The present outlook is not en- tirely favorable for raising 340,000 for a statue to the man who, above all other men, led the Dutch in their ideas of religious and political toleration, which are gradually being accepted by the world. It is the unwavering belief of your Committee that there could be no more fitting commemoration of the establishment of this colony than with such a statue. American writers of renown and general acceptation have done much to give William the Silent his proper place in the world's history. It would be fitting indeed if here, on the banks of the river which floats the ships of the people whom he made free and independent and for whom he died, an American ,sculptor should recall his great presence to the millions who in this land above all others, see the fruits of h1S labors in a Government founded on the principles of religious and political freedom. n The Committee recommend that a continued effort be made to secure this end. 1 8 i A list of paid and unpaid subscriptlons 13 ' d d. appen e D.
