IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
TOWN CLERK'S REPORT.
To the Selectmen of Ipswich,
Gentlemen :-
In submitting my annual report I am pleased to say that the conditions of the office of Town Clerk have been much improved during the year, better room and accommodations have been provid- ed giving the clerk opportunity to perform his duties without being compelled to work at a disadvantage. He will also have all books of record under his care when being used by persons who call and wish to examine them. They are not taken from his office now, but room is found for the callers to work in the office. As soon as the new Fire Station is occupied I trust a place may be found for the large number of books and documents now in the care of the Clerk and for which he is responsible.
During the past year I have not done anything in rebinding any of the old records, as other matters have taken so much of my time, but some three or four months ago I learned that one of the missing books of Commoners Records had been found. I at once called upon the gentleman who had the volume, he very readily agreed with me that the book should be in the Clerk's office and at once placed it in my possession. I have it in the safe.
