but it is an expense which must be met. · Under our state laws it cannot be met by sending families to the farm. In most cases those assisted are worthy and grateful. In a few they are un- reasonable and ungrateful. In both cases, the sick and the hungry must be cared for, and the unusual number of these serious cases this year has added materially to the expense.
The report of Dr. MacArthur, the town physician, shows that under his contract with the Poor Department, he made the follow- ing visits:
January 58 February 61 March 85
April 32
May
58 June 104
July 72 August 80 September 78
October 69 November 47 December 73
A total of 817 visits. The contract price with Dr. MacArthur is $200. a year (which does not include surgical work.) He received an average of 25 cents a visit.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
The amount raised by taxation for 1907 was. . $60242 38
1906 was 58594 83
Increase in 1907 $ 1647 55
Although the amount to raise was $1647.55 larger this year than last, we found that the new property added to the tax list would enable us to keep the rate at $14. on $1000., the same as last year.
We find that for the coming year there will be a number of unusual appropriations in addition to the regular appropriations to be made at the annual meeting. Following is a list of those now known :
Schools (the $1500. appropriated at a special meeting) .. $1500 Interest (on Central Fire Station and new School loans) . 1395 State (proportion of Town's part Overhead Bridge) 1300 Notes (one Central Fire Station Note) 1000
$5195
It will be seen that to raise the above amount in addition to the regular appropriations, will mean an increase of over $1.25 on our tax rate on the same valuation a's 1907. A threatened loss of income from railroad corporation taxes which the state is trying to get by a legislative act, would add another dollar or more, if it goes through. It will be seen that care should be taken to keep appro- priations at a reasonable figure, or we will be facing a tax rate from $16 to $18 on $1000.
When the state corporation tax was allotted this year, Ips- wich was given $3801.23. The chairman of the assessors, in accord- ance with the plan he has followed for a number of years, worked a number of days at the State House on the corporation books to see if he could secure an additional sum for the town, and as the result of his work there will be paid to Ipswich in February, $3691.83. The amounts claimed by him last year, were paid to the town in Feb. '07.
We repeat what we said last year "that it would not be wise on the part of the town to have a further increase in the tax rate. With our present rate, and fair valuations, we are attracting a class of large tax paying citizens to our town. It would be folly to drive them away by a large increase in the rate,"

AUDITOR'S REPORT.
This is to certify that I have examined the books and ac- counts of the Town Treasurer and Collector, approving bills before they were paid ; I have also examined the General Balance Sheets of Receipts and Expenditures and compared them with the various books and I certify that the same are in conformity therewith.
I find the cash balance in the hands of the Treasurer, Jan. 28, 1908, to be $7215.31.
JAMES DAMON, Auditor.
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
From the foregoing Debt Statement of the Treasurer, it will be seen that the cash on hand and various amounts due the town, amount to $27076.49. In order that a better idea of the matter may be had, we show in the following table the condition of the treasury so far as it relates to the cash on hand for which there are no outstanding claims.

Balance in favor of town
$ 3929 20
78
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
In addition to the above balance, we would call attention to the fact, that the town appropriated only $743.19 in 1907 for the Moth Suppression Dept., which was for the part of the year ending June 1, '07. The legislature passed a new act to continue the work, and towns were compelled to make additional appropriation, but owing to the fact that our annual meeting was closed, we have paid, without an appropriation, $1103.98 out of the treasury, otherwise the balance would have been that much larger.
It may be of interest to the voters to know for what purpose the outstanding notes were issued, and when they were issued. We find by a study of the treasurer's note book, that $12,840. of the present note indebtedness is handed down from about the time of the civil war. The following table will show the facts in regard to to the note indebtedness.
Old war notes, $ 12840 00
Winthrop School note, issued 1896
1000 00

$ 54865 00
As the $17,000. tax notes will be taken care of by the cash on hand and amounts due, it will be seen from the above, that although many notes have been issued during the past fifteen years for unusu- al improvements, they have been promptly taken care of and paid as they fell due, and that the running expenses of the town have not been paid by borrowing money on notes, or by neglecting to pay notes when due. Outside of the old war notes, for which the town has never made an appropriation, the only note dating back of 1906, is the last. Winthrop school note, which will be paid this year.
At the annual town meeting, the town decided to do away with the surveyor system on the highway work and the selectmen were authorized to appoint a superintendent of streets. In response to a question from the chairman of the selectmen, the meeting voted,
79
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
on motion of Mr. Henry Brown, "that the selectmen use their own judgment as to appointing an Ipswich man or a man from outside." When the selectmen considered the matter, they found that after paying for snow work and for the town teams, that if they were to hire an engineer for the roller, and a superintendent, that the ap- propriation of $8000 would be so nearly exhausted that the town would have a well equipped department with good men in charge, but without money to work with. For that reason, we decided to appoint Mr. Joseph A. Huckins, driver of Team No 1, as superin- tendent, rather than put on another salaried man. Mr. Huckins did not desire the appointment, but took it at our request and has done excellent work. Poor gravel and lack of sufficient funds to purchase broken stone, has made it impossible to do what he would have done under better conditions. His work on Hammatt street, and on Market street and Depot Square, shows what can be done with rocks and gravel. As the special committee, appointed to in- vestigate and report upon a plan for highway work, are to report at the annual meeting, we will make no further recommendation than to say that we trust that the voters will bear in mind the im- portance of good roads and decide for what is best for the town.
There has been a small increase in the bills for the police de- partment this year. This is accounted for from the fact that we have placed an extra officer on duty throughout the day. Part of his pay comes from the County, as he acts as court officer, and the balance from the town.
The Town House is now equipped with a modern heating plant and in addition to that we have made extended improvements. The room formerly used by the treasurer and town clerk was not large enough to furnish him with proper facilities, and the select- men have exchanged rooms with him. Their old room has been fitted up in modern style for the treasurer and clerk, and not only that official, but all citizens who have occasion to use the office, ap- preciate the change.
In conclusion, we desire to thank the officials, both elective and appointed, who have given us their aid and support, and who by careful attention to their duties have made it possible for us to re-

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
We recommend that $2500 be raised and appropriated to run the fire department for the ensuing year.
We recommend the sum of $300 be raised to purchase 500 feet of new hose.
We recommend the sum of $100 be raised for a new fire alarm box near the factory of Harry B. Brown.
The reason the Engineers ask for more money in the depart- ment is that 57 of the firemen receive $10 more per man than they did two years ago. This was granted by vote in town meeting.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH.
In submitting its reports for the year of 1907 the Board of Health would call attention to the fact that during the year there was an unusually large amount of sickness, and the largest death rate for many years. There was notwithstanding, the smallest number of contagious and infectious diseases reported, than for any similar period, for more than ten years. This confirms the claim of the Board that the sanitary condition of the Town has been well looked after, and that while it is not ideal, it is as good as it can be made upon the average, with the present crowded con- dition of tenement houses. And this brings up again the question of Sewerage, to which the Board has called attention in several of its previous annual reports. The time has come when some steps should be taken to establish a system of Sewerage. The fact that the town has been fortunate in the matter of epidemics is no promise for future immunity, as the Town will surely learn some day when a serious epidemic breaks out in some of its congested, undrained districts. This is no dream, but a warning based upon a knowledge of conditions that are a daily menace, and require con- stant vigilance on the part of this Board. We cannot urge too strongly that some action be taken at the annual Town Meeting.

Many of these complaints were verbal and some of them were not well founded. Nuisances wherever found were abated whether a complaint had been received or not. We do not claim to have found all the nuisances, but we do claim that constant care and watchfulness are necessary to keep sanitary conditions as good as they are at present, and all this involves expense.
Farley's Brook, so called, used by a large number of resi- dents as a common sewer has for years been a menace to the public

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
A number of other parties have pledged amounts which will doubtless be paid.
All this does not settle the brook question. It is upon private land and no public money can be spent for its care. The Board has no power to assess the users of it but it has the power to stop its use as a common sewer. A situation might arise where such action would be necessary, and if the voters are wise they will no longer ignore the sewerage question, but take some action at once.
Heretofore the bills of this department have been paid from the current expense fund. With the increasing expenses of the department, caused in part by the law now requiring Boards of Health to care for a class of indigent cases formerly cared for by the Poor Departments of cities and towns, it would seem wiser for the Board to have its own appropriation. We therefore ask that the sum of $1500.00 be appropriated for the Health Department.
Respectfully submitted,
Geo. E. MacArthur, Board of
