Such flag shall have an inner blue field bordered with gold and set in an outer white field. B. In the center of the blue field, on both the front and reverse thereof, shall be a white shield bordered with gold. C. Arched above the shield and set in the blue field shall be a scroll in gold bearing the inscription "Springfield." D. Upon the seal shall be a likeness in gold of the St. Gaudens statue of Deacon Samuel Chapin. E. Within the shield and below on both sides flanking said likeness shall be a scroll in gold bearing the inscription "A Town May 14, 1636 O.S. Organized A City May 25, 1852," all in substantial conformity with the design executed by Charles H. Restall and filed in the office of the City Clerk.
