I submit herewith my fifteenth annual report as Clerk of the Town of Hamilton.


During the year 1958 the elections and town meetings consisted of the Annual Town Meeting and Election held March 3rd and 11th respectively ; a Special Town Meeting held June 5th; the State Primary held September 9th, and the State Election held September 4th, all of which were held in the high school auditorium.

I take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to all the townspeople and town officials who have assisted me in my duties during the year.


Respectfully submitted,


FRANCIS H. WHIPPLE Town Clerk
