We are well pleased with the showing made at the Farm by the new Superintedent, Mr. Daniel S. Appleton. In spite of serious handicaps he has succeeded in keeping the average cost per week for the inmates at a lower figure than last year, and the inventory shows that there is a net increase of $326. in favor of the town. He has not only added to the stock so far as numbers are concern- ea, but has also sold a number of inferior animals and replaced them with a better quality. The sales from the Farm increased from $2546.62 in 1905 to $3097.73 in 1906. There was an increase in expense from $4188.50 to $4256.13, but that increase is more than accounted for by the fact that $302. was paid in exchange for better stock, $92.90 for putting in a modern system of watering the stock in the barn, and $150. for extra repairs on buildings. In addition to these items there was also unusual expense for furniture and supplies, owing to the fact that the former superintendent own- ed and took away with him considerable of the furniture. Attention has been called to the old bills for 1905 sent in this year. If the old superintendent had been in charge this year, it would not have been necessary to have separated the bills, but it would have been mani- festly unfair to have loaded down a new man with nearly $500. of old bills, and for that reason we have called attention to it. The new superintendent tried to get in all bills to Jan. 1, 1907, and with very few exceptions succeeded in doing so. We are greatly pleased with the work of both Mr. and Mrs. Appleton, and we look forward to a successful management of the Farm under their charge.

In the outside poor department the expenses have been about the same as last year. As in other years, the larger part of the ex- pense in this department is for sick cases. Under modern methods the expense for this class of cases is constantly on the increase, and this fact but emphasizes what we called attention to last year in regard to the advisability of establishing a local hospital. We are pleased to add our testimony to that of so many others, in com- mending the little girls of the Hospital Club for the energy and spirit which prompted them to take the initial step towards mak- ing our dream of a local hospital a reality. They have given an object lesson to their elders which may well be followed.
The report of Dr. MacArthur, the town physician, shows that under his contract with the Poor Department, he made the follow- ing visits:
January 37
February 46
March 19
April 63
May
47
June 46
July 57 August 17 September 32
October 28 November 69 December 45
A total of 516 visits. The contract price with Dr. MacArthur is $200. a year (which does not include surgical work.) He received an average of 38 cents a visit. Of the amount paid him $141.00 was charged to other towns, leaving the total cost to Ipswich" un- der the contract $59.00. ,misimrua MI

The amount raised by taxation for 1906 was $ 58594 83
66
1905 66 52572 38
$ 6022 45
This made a difference of $6022.45 more to be raised this year than last. To raise that amount would have caused an increase of about $2.00 on the tax rate, but as the town was to receive an ad- ditional $1300 from liquor license fees, as five licenses were to be granted instead of four, we decided to raise the tax rate only $1.00
The causes of the increased amount to be raised were the fol- lowing additional appropriations in excess of last year's appropria- tion.

There was also a decrease in the corporation tax received from the State, on account of the settlement of an estate which caused us to lose part of our shares in a good paying corporation stock.
