TOWN CLERK'S REPORT.
' To the Selectmen of Ipswich,
Gentlemen:
I submit the following report of the Office of the Town Clerk, and would say that the office is still busy in the search for missing records. We have not been able to find any thing as yet, several rumors of this one or that one having papers and books in their possessions, have been investigated and the result has been as us- ual nothing could be found belonging to the town. I am now in correspondence with the Emery Record Preserving Co. of Taunton in regard to taking care of the remainder of the records now need- ing work of that nature for their preservation, in fact I am looking for their agent every day. When the books I shall place in their hands are rebound and returned I shall have completed all the old records in my possession, but every re-examination shows much that is missing and probably never will be found. The later records requiring attention can, be cared for at the usual price of rebinding and can be arranged later on. I would suggest that the interior of the Vaults for the reception of the Valuable Books and . documents of the Town be arranged in a more convenient manner, the wooden shelves and compartments could be replaced with some other material and prepared in such a manner that the books and papers be removed as required with less wear and injury than is done at present.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR. TOWN FARM.
Early in the year we were obliged to secure a Superinten- dent, owing to the resignation of Mr. Charles. We engaged Mr. Charles H. Colwell, who came to us well recommended, and the result of his labor and management, shows that we were fortunate in our selection. He is a practical and up to date farmer, and is ably assisted by Mrs. Colwell, who is an ideal matron The ex- penses of this department so far exceeded the appropriation, that we were obliged to ask for an additional appropriation of $3000.00 at the special meeting, but while the expenditures have been larger, the inventory shows a gain of over $2000.00, and the report an unexpended balance of $1084,23 together with the increase in sales, is more than an offset to the increased expenditures. It was neces- sary this year to change nearly the whole herd of cows, the sale of milk has increased, and will continue to do so, and the fact that the the milk is bringing a better price, shows that the quality has in- creased as well. The cost of labor has been large, on account of more than double the number of acres being put under cultivation, which means an increase in the sales, and the condition of the farm today is such, that we think by another year, the income will be sufficient for the maintenance, without any appropriation.
66
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
OUTSIDE POOR.
The expense of this department shows an increase, the prin- cipal items being for aid rendered poor out of Town.
The report shows the increase to be $793.61, but $223.15 of this amount was paid for salaries, which has usually been paid out of Fees and Salaries appropriation, so that the actual increase as compared with last year, is $570 46.
We renewed the contract this year with Dr. MacArthur, and under that contract, his report is as follows;
January 48, Febuary 68, March 67, April 99, May 37, June 27, July 49, August 52, Sept 45, Oct 22, Nov 30, Dec 38, a total of 574 visits, 40 of which were made at the Town Farm.
