Balance expense for support of poor at Farm 1937 92
$3710 75
The whole number of inmates at the Farm during the year was 18. Number at the present time 14. The cost per week has been for each inmate $2.70
While the expenditures for the past year have remained about the same, the sales, owing to a shortage in the crops which has been universal, have very materially decreased; which decrease together with the loss of the ice crop which has always appeared in the apprisal and the difference in the price received for cattle which it was deemed wise to dispose of, and the price at which they had been carried on the books accounts for the increase in the balance againts the farm.
Believing that under favorable circumstances the cost can be kept within the amount appropriated last year we would again recommend the same appropriation, $1000, for the current year.
Respectfully submitted, Luther Wait, ) Overseers John A. Brown, of the
Chas. S. Cummings,) Poor.

The expenses of the town in the various departments, with the exception of the Schools, Fees and Salaries and Farm, have been kept within the appropriations. The Overseers have advanced a reason for the balance against them, and I presume the School Committee will give in their report a satisfactory explanation in regard to their expenses.
The balance against the appropriation for Fees and Salaries was caused, as you are aware, partly by the in- crease of visitors brought here by the electric railway, and in part by the so-called Plant strike, as well as by the issue of liquor licenses, calling by reason of these for an increase in the Police force in order that our town might maintain its reputation of being a law-abiding as well as a law-protect- ing community, and although the expense has been some- what increased it has not been so to such an extent as has been represented at home and abroad, and right here allow us to say, that in our opinion, the practice which has been in vogue the past year of denouncing the town and its offi- cials is not in the interest of good government. If any one knows of laws being broken, or outrages committed, he is not a good citizen if he does not inform the proper authori-

ties, instead of railing against them. The parties who have had so much to say have not, to our knowledge, made any such report.
The system of street lighting has been somewhat changed the past year by increasing the number of gas lights, and by the use of the Welsbach burner. We think the change has given general satisfaction, and we would recommend that the gas lights be further increased so as to cover all the territory now covered by the Gas Company's pipe line, and we would also recommend an increased appro- priation to cover the extra cost.
Since the last annual town meeting the Ipswich branch of the Gloucester, Essex and Beverly Street Railway has been completed, and your Selectmen have but words of praise in its behalf, as the company have shown a willingness to perform, and have performed, all that has been requested of them, and we have every reason to believe, that another season will see us connected, by the way of Rowley, with the town of Georgetown and the city of Haverhill.
Respectfully submitted,
Luther Wait, 1 Selectmen of
Augustine H. Spiller, John A. Brown, Ipswich.
I hereby certify that I have examined the books of the Selectmen, Assessors and Overseers and also those of the Treasurer and Collector and find them correct, and with proper vouchers for all bills paid.

SCHOOL REPORT.
REPORT.
A retrospect of a year of school work, while it notes .care- fully what has already been done, will also seek diligently for any points in which the efficiency of our public schools can be increased or emphasized. It has been said that "the French Revolution would have been impossible with free public schools, and the American Revolution would have been impossible without them," which is but another way of saying that a people, trained to good citizenship in our public schools, are capable of self government aud the con- struction of improved and righteous laws. This must in- clude the proviso that our youth have been educated in character and self-control as well as in book-lore ; in practi- cal as well as in theoretical knowledge ; morally as well as mentally.
