NUMBER OF POLLS AND AMOUNT OF VALUATION, Ipswich, May 1, 1884.
No. of polls, 941.
Amount of personal estate . $467,218 00
Amount of real estate 1,494 327 00
Total valuation : $1,961,545 00
Increase in real and personal property for the year, 11,818 00 Poll tax, $2.00. Tax on $1000. $13.50. Total number of horses, 475.
60 cows, 726.
sheep, 141.
66 dwelling houses. 713.
The whole number of street lamps is 70.
It will be seen by the report that the amount in the treasurer's hands on settlement with him is less than usual, and the amount of unpaid bills ($3402.38) and the principal of town notes ($900) due and unpaid, is much larger than usual. There is also, inter- est on town notes of $834, due and unpaid. Although the cause of this deficiency may be apparent to most people, yet it may not be out of place to make a statement of some of the unforseen ex- penditures which have been made the past year, and which were not provided for at the last annual meeting. At that meeting the town appropriated $200 for the purchase of school books. The amount paid for books was $787.23. A vote passed in 1883 instructed the new cemetery committee to procure a plan, lay out lots, make carriage ways and otherwise so to improve the land as to make it available for use. There was no special appropri- ation made at the time, and no expense incurred until the pres- ent year. We have paid the present year, $2577.14, for im- provements made, and have received $215 for the sale of lots.
The town, at the last annual meeting, voted $1000 to build a new engine house. The whole cost of land and house and such improvements as were necessary to be made was about $1800. The amount of corporation tax received from the state was about $1200 less than usual. On the other hand the expense for highways and bridges, poor and farm accounts is somewhat less than usual.
The whole number of inmates at the farm the past year was 15 ; the average number, 10; the present number, 9.
