In Memoriam.
1
Charles W. Bamford.
In the days of his youth he offered his life in defence of his Country. In all the after years, as a private citizen and as a public official, he gave the best that was in him to make the Country which he had helped to save a better place to live in.
With a keen sense of heavy loss, we, his asso- ciates desire to record here our deep sorrow at the death of Charles W. Bamford, late Town Clerk.
Taking office in 1888, he quickly distinguished himself by most efficient performance of the duties of the office, by the untiring zeal of his efforts in behalf of the town, and by his active and intelli- gent interest in everything pertaining to the welfare of the community.
An alert, progressive, broad-minded citizen of the very finest type, Mr. Bamford was the happy possessor of a kind and genial personality that en- deared him to us all We mourn his loss and treas- ure his memory.

REPORT OF
TRUSTEES OF MEMORIAL HALL.
To the Citizens of Ipswich: :
On another page of this report you will find the detailed re- port of the receipts and expenditures made for the year in con- nection with Memorial Hall.
51
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
The total appropriation made by the town was
$2038 39
The total expenses were 2036 68
Unexpended balance $1 71
We again point out that the patriotic organizations, which under the law have been granted quarters at the Memorial Hall, instead of accepting those quarters free of rent have again this year donated to the town treasury a very considerable sum tow- ards the expense incurred for the maintenance of the building. The payments made this year were as follows:
W. R. C. rent $ 480 00
Legion Post No. 80 rent 480 00
Legion Auxiliary rent 240 00
$1200 00
Deducting this amount from the amount paid by the Town, leaves a net balance of $836.68 as the cost to the Town for the maintenance of Memorial Hall for the year 1926.
Charles E. Brocklebank, the efficient superintendent of the building, has remained in charge during the past year and his services have been satisfactory to all parties concerned.
The first break in your Board of Trustees since we were first appointed occurred last year when the veteran represent- ative of the G. A. R., Charles W. Bamford, passed away. His services to his country in time of war and to the people of this town in times of peace were of such high character that he stood pretty eminent as a representative citizen. In common with all his fellow citizens, we mourn his loss and we recognize that his being taken away has left a gap which will never be filled. He was a fond and devoted husband and father, a loyal,

patriotic citizen and true friend. The story of his life is an in- spiration to the rising generation and his deeds and memory will never die.
At a recent meeting of the Trustees, Mr. Albert N. Nichols was appointed as a representative of the Grand Army to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Bamford's death.

INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Your Committee begs to report that it believes all of the stay-at-home residents enjoyed a real old-fashioned 4th of July celebration on the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Dec- laration of Independence.
In the afternoon a series of Junior sports was put on from l to 2 o'clock at the playground on the Linebrook Road, followed by Senior events. Among these was a tug-of-war in which a Greek team, a Polish team, a team from the Firemen, and one from the Eagles took part. A ball game between a Haverhill team and the Town Team completed the afternoon sports.
53
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
The Commandery Band and the local Fife and Drum Corps furnished music. The throng of people that filled the bleachers and overflowed onto the field attested the appreciation of the townspeople for the afternoon's entertainment
In the evening at the Cove on the Green Street property, a series of Junior and Senior water sports was held, and again the townspeople thronged to watch these events.
Glover's Band and the Fife and Drum Corps furnished music in the evening. The last event was a brilliant display of fireworks on the Green Street property, closing a very enjoyable day. Ideal weather played no small part in the day's enjoy- ment.
The Committee wishes to thank all who assisted in making the day a success either by personal work or loan of apparatus.
