IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
JULY FOURTH CELEBRATION.
The town having appropriated $400 for a celebration on Inde- pendence Day, the selectmen appointed a number of citizens on various committees, and arranged for a celebration which we feel safe in saying gave general satisfaction. It was found that the amount appropriated would not be sufficient and various parties contributed, the contributions amounting to $224, which. with the $400 given by the town, made $624. The payments made as shown, on a previous page, through the town treasurer, were $451.61.
The foilowing bills were paid by the committee:
Ipswich Band music $ 154 00
Georgetown Engine Co
prize
10 00
S F Canney
lumber 7 31
Total $ 171 31
The balance collected by the committee, $52.69, was turned over to the Town Treasurer, and after repaying the Town for the $51.61 paid out in excess of the appropriation, leaves $1.08 balance over all expenses in his hands. The selectmen desire to thank all who assisted either by work or cash in making the celebration a success.
Geo. A. Schofield, Chairman.

OVERSEERS OF POOR REPORT.
The result at the town farm this year under the manage- ment of Superintendent Daniel S. Appleton, has been very satis- factory. In spite of the fact that many repairs out of the ordinary have been made, and the additional fact that the high prices, not only for food for the inmates but for the stock as well, have made it rather a hard year, it will be seen by a glance at the farm statis- tics, that the inventory of material on hand shows an increase of $272.00 over last year, and that out of the $1000 appropriated by the town for the farm, $86.37 is returned to the treasury.
The buildings at the farm are in fairly good condition with the exception of the old barn, which has arrived at a stage when it is a serious question whether it would not be economy to tear it down rather than attempt to repair it. If the town is to continue to run the farm a new building will soon be necessary in its place. If, on the other hand, the town intends to sell the farm, we would advise that expenses for building repairs bekept as low as possible for the present. As we have repeatedly pointed out, modern methods of caring for the poor, and the fact that a generous charity fund will soon establish a home for the aged in Ipswich, would indicate that the time has arrived when the town should seriously consider the sale of the farm.
It will be seen that there has been an increase in the expenses for the outside poor. During the past year there has been a large expense incurred for four or five cases where whole families have been maintained almost wholly at town expense. Children too young to work, parents either dead or unable to work, and food, rent, clothing and doctors bills to pay, make an expensive combination,
