IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
Report of Trustees of Memorial Hall
To the Citizens of Ipswich:
Your Trustees have operated Memorial Hall within the appropriation made at the annual meeting, namely, $2305.30 plus $200.00 bonus, ending the year with a balance transferred to revenue of $144.21.
During the year, the Town lost by death one of the Trustees of Memorial Hall, Mr. George A. Schofield. Mr. Schofield was perhaps the one man to whom all credit belongs for the existence of such a building as Memorial Hall. It was clearly his idea, and he followed it through from the first difficult stage of securing the necessary appropriation in Town Meeting to the final stage when the building was completed and dedicated. From that time to the time of his death he served on the Board of Trustees and maintained always a lively in- terest in its operation.
To fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Schofield, the Trustees have elected Mr. Frank R. Starkey.
It is with pleasure that we pay special tribute to the Custodian Mr. Samuel Aitken, particularly for the fine con- dition of the lawns and grounds of Memorial Hall. Their appearance during the year has caused much favorable comment and should be a source of satisfaction both to Mr. Aitken and the Trustees.
The financial statement concerning Memorial Hall will be found elsewhere in this report.

We record with deep regret the death on October 27, 1944 of the Hon. George A. Schofield, Chairman and member of this Commission for many years.

ELECTRIC LIGHT DEPARTMENT
FIFTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT OF THE WATER AND ELECTRIC LIGHT COMMISSIONERS FOR THE YEAR 1944
To the Citizens of Ipswich:
We respectfully submit the annual report for the year 1944 as follows:
WATER DEPARTMENT
PIPE LINE
The Department this past year has again been prevented from making any extensions of its mains or other improvements because of war conditions. As these conditions change it is expected that the Department will be asked several extensions either on its own or in conjunction with Rehabilitation activ- ities. The main pipe should be continued from the top of Crocker's Hill to the entrance to the Crane Estate. A connection should be made from the end of the main pipe on Essex Road near the Estate formerly owned by Chas. G. Brown through North Gate Road and connect with the present line on Argilla Road. This would eliminate a dead end on Essex Road and build up the pressure on Argilla Road. We will without doubt be asked to continue the present pipe line on Topsfield Road, a distance of approximately one mile, to furnish water to the new owners of part of the C. G. Rice Estate. The estimated cost of these extensions is $25,000.00.
