IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
all the books, papers, and documents that required the care and oversight of the Clerk, and I found the Ancient Records of this old town scattered from one end of the building to the other in rotting chests, boxes and other receptacles, all going to ruin. I at once commenced the work of putting them in shape, but as before stated much valuable matter is not to be found. I would ask that a sum not exceeding two hundred dollars be appropriated for the work of repairing and rebinding the old records.
My record of Births, Marriages and Deaths follows.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
*The two notes marked with the star, were originally in a number of small notes issued between 1861 and 1867. In 1876 the town issued two notes, one for $1,800. to Benjamin Towne, and one of $2,000. to Samuel Dane, and paid off the small notes. Again on August 14, 1893, these two notes were paid, and one note of $3,800. issued and sold to Aaron Kinsman. The Sinking Fund Commission- ers purchased it in 1906. The note for $3,500. held by the Burley Fund was purchased by that Fund in 1881, and was made up of notes issued to B. P. Towne in 1865.
The $1,000. note held by the Ipswich Savings Bank was first issued May 15, 1883, to purchase land for a cemetery, reissued in 1893 to Gardner Brown, renewed in 1898 and 1902, and sold by his estate to the Bank.
The two notes issued October 30, 1906, for $1,212.50 each were for the purchase of a road roller. The note for $500. issued November 7, 1907, is the last of the notes authorized for a heating plant for the Town Hall. The note in anticipation of 1910 faxes for $1,914.17 was authorized at a special meeting held in December 1909 and is for the regular Moth Suppression work of 1910, which begins on December 1, 1909, to conform to the State year.
The other special notes are old war notes for which the Town has not provided payment.
The table of notes is published as a part of the Town Report for the first time, and is a correct copy of the note and bond indebt- edness of the Town as shown by the Town Treasurer's books. An article in the Town Warrant calls for making the publication of a similar table in the Town Report compulsory, and it should be adopted.
