TO THE CITIZENS OF CHELMSFORD


Inasmuch as with the foregoing pages comprising my seventeenth annual report as your Town Clerk, I voluntarily retire. I wish to submit a brief statement.


I am not unmindful of the splendid treatment received by me from the voters of the Town in returning me to the office year after year during the one-year term period and repeatedly when the office was placed upon a three-year basis. In consequence of the proposed establishment of a combined office of Town Clerk and Town Accountant. I felt that other interests would preclude the possibility of giving proper attention to my own and to the Town's business. I believe the proposed changes are in line with the growth and progress of the town and its affairs, and I can only bespeak for my successor the fair treatment and co-operation of all officials and other citizens of the town which it has been my privilege to enjoy.


Respectfully submitted,


Edward J. Robbing


Town Clerk.
