The Warren Engine has been thoroughly repaired and painted at an expense of $102.10.
The old Hook & Ladder Truck has been made over with more modern improvements, and is as good as new, at an expense of $382.00. The town raised $400.00 for that pur- pose. As the old extension ladder was used up, we have purchased a new and better working one at an expense of $80.00.
The well on High street near the house of J. F. G. Clark has had a bottom put in at an expense of $79.78, as the town raised $100.00 for this purpose we have kept under the appropriation. The reservoir at this date is full of water.
At the late fire the Neptune Engine was badly burned on one side which will need fixing, and with the exception of this we consider the fire apparatus of Ipswich in good con- dition.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
Report of the Board of Health.
The Board of Health respectfully submit the following report.
The whole number of cases of contagious diseases re- ported to the Board for the year was forty-eight, of which five were of diptheria, nineteen each of scarlet fever and measles, and five of typhoid fever. They were mostly in a mild form. Only one death occurred from them and that was a case of malignant diphtheria of the worst type, in the fam- ily of Mrs. White in Lord's building on Market street, The board at once saw that extreme measures must be resorted to to prevent the spread of this disease and they at once quarantined the building placing a guard on duty day and night until all danger was over, and the building thoroughly fumigated, and by their prompt action a serious epidemic was prevented.
In regard to the sanitary condition of the town we would say that taken all in all we have no fault to find, the people generally have complied with the requirements of the Board, and in no case where we have ordered a nuisance abated have we had any trouble or had to resort to legal measures, on the contrary we note with satisfaction the growing desire on the part of the public to co-operate with the Board in securing the sanitary welfare of the town.
Before closing we would call your attention in a few words to the contagious diseases existing amongst the cat- tle and what has been done in regard to the same. The selectmen appointed Edward Dole as Cattle Inspector and the Board of Health appointed him as their agent also, giv- ing him full power to act for them, and that he has faithfully attended to his duties the following report will show, he re- ported to the Board that he made a personal examination of all the cattle in the town and wherever he had found any which in his opinion were sick with the disease known as tuberculosis or any other contagious disease, he had at once ordered them isolated from the other cattle, notiying this Board of his action, who promptly notified the State Cattle Commissioners who came and examined them, and by their orders seven cows were killed which upon a ·post-mortem examination proved they were diseased with tuberculosis,
60
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
their carcasses were properly buried. There are still several more cows under observation waiting further developments.
In closing the Board take this opportunity of thanking the citizens of the town for their co-operation with them in their endeavors to abate all nuisances and in all matters pertaining to the onerous duties.
Respectfully yours,
James Griffing Board
Geo. W. Smith of
Lyman H. Daniels Health
There are a few points in this report to which we wish to call your attention. On page 8, the item in the report of the expense of the water investigation which reads, "Daniel Russell, supplies for committee," should read, "Daniel Rus- sell boring wells and supplies." In the highway account, on page 21, the heading, "Repairs on Hovey street," should read, "Repairs on Hovey and East streets." It will be seen also that the appropriations for the Highway department were exceeded some $1600. The reason for the extra expense was that the snow bills were $900 more than was anticipa- ted, and the building of County street, as ordered by the County Commissioners, cost about $850 for which no appropriation had been made. A road machine was also purchased for the town.
The police account is $280 more than last year, but the reason for that, to some extent, was the extra men and time called for by the disturbances on High street and the at- tempted prize fight at Little Neck.
Those who by sickness or misfortune are unable to care for themselves have always been used generously by the town and this year, owing to the condition of the times, calls for aid have been a little more frequent, and the amount expend- ed is somewhat larger than usual, but we are assured that the money so expended will not be begrudged by the people of Ipswich.
In the current expense account the report of the water committee increased the usual expense but we feel that the
61
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
that the recent vote of the town shows that the money is believed to have been well spent.
Attention is called to the account of the town farm. Mr. Daniel S. Appleton, who for a number of years was the able and efficient superintendent at that institution, resigned early in the year and the service of Mr. Charles Sylvester were secured for the present year. It is our opinion that the farm has been well managed by him, and we believe that a careful examination of the figures, and a comparison with previous years will convince you that the opinion is well founded. The whole number of inmates at the farm the past year was 15, the present number 9, the average 11. The average expense per week for each inmate was $2.72.
In regard to the bridge at the foot of Green street, we would recommended that it be replaced by an arch bridge, and that Water street should also be put in proper con- dition.
The work of assessing taxes was given extra attention this year and quite a gain was made in the valuation, but more work in the same direction is needed and we would recommend that the town authorizes a new and thorough re-valuation for 1895.
The recent fire, and the heavy snow storms, will call for an additional appropriation this year. We estimate that the sum of $8000 will be necessary for the proper care of the highways for the coming year and$8500 for what is known as the ordinary running expenses which does not include the school department.
The balance against the town last year was $5507 while this year it is some over $7000. It should be taken into consideration in connection with this, that we have paid out $900 more for snow bills than was appropriated, $850 for County street, $1500 for the water investigation and $2000 for the addition to the town farm, a total of $5250 more than we were allowed money for, and yet have only made an increase in the balance, of about $2000.
Our relation with the other town officials have been very harmonious and pleasant, and we have received their hearty co-operation toward making our work successful. Town Treasurer Condon has been awake to the necessity of prompt collection of taxes, and to his efforts we areindebted for a ready supply of money to meet all bills.

While other towns and cities around us have felt the business depression quite heavily, Ipswich has been remark- ably fortunate, and the close of the year finds the town affairs in what appears to us to be a prosperous condition. Respectfully submitted, Aaron Lord Geo. A. Schofield

In the course of the present year, one of our associates, Wesley K. Bell Esq., has been removed by death. In age, and in continuous term of service, he was the senior member of our Board. For thirty years, he has served the Town as a member of the Committee, and prior to this, several years as a teacher.
Every teacher now in our schools has been elected during this period. Great improvements in the school buildings, surprising advance in methods, and noticeable broadening of the course of study have found place, as well. Mr. Bell had his part in all this. So rich an opportunity of useful- ness and influence, rarely falls to the lot of a citizen in any community.
