RESOLUTIONS
IN MEMORIAM
The death of Angelo Barbadoro, member of the Finance Committee for many years, and Monitor of Pre- cinct 2 since the inception of our present form of govern- ment, brought to a close a life devoted to his family, and the best interests of the Town of Milford, since he migrat- ed from Italy in 1900. He was always keenly concerned with all the activities of the Town, giving generously of his time and energies on numerous occasions through many years.
In grateful acknowledgement of his loyalty and services, We, the members of the Committee, wish.to spread on the Town records this expression of apprecia- tion in behalf of the townspeople.
As a mark of respect, we request the Town Clerk to send a copy of these Resolutions to the family.
