IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.


In regard to the Ipswich Mills would say they have a man employed by them to go about their places every day and see that everything is kept clean, and I find the sanitary conditions around their places are fine.


Respectfully submitted, W. B. Atkinson, Sanitary Inspector of Board of Health.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


To the citizens of Ipswich,


Gentlemen :


An examination of the reports of the various departments will show that 1910 has been in general a successful year. The fol- lowing table will show the standing of the Town at the close of the year exclusive of the Water and Electric Light Departments, which are treated in separate reports.


CR.


By cash on hand Jan. 1, 191.1. $ 1,829 30

Balance in favor of Town $13,668 29


The balance one year ago was $14,960.35 or $1,292.06 larger than this year, but had it not been for the extra appropriations of $8,900.00 made in December for departments which had been obliged to exceed their appropriations, there would have been a substantial increase this year.


Superintendent of Streets Joseph A. Huckins, has continued to serve in that important position during the year and has con- tinued to give satisfactory services. Following is his report for 1910 :

JOSEPH A HUCKINS, Supt. of Streets.


During the year the case of Clark vs. Town of Ipswich came up for trial. This was a suit for damages on account of a gravel pit, taken by vote of the Town in 1904 . Town counsel Geo. H. W. Hayes, and Alden P. White of Salem, represented the Town, and as the total award against the town for gravel taken, together with interest for six years, was less than one-fourth of the amount claimed by Mr. Clark, we feel that the case was well handled for


. the Town, and that we have little cause for complaint at the verdict. Although no appropriation had been made to pay the award, it was paid from cash in the treasury without assessing it.


Other matters of interest and recommendations can be better taken up at the annual meeting than in this report, and we will leave them until then, closing with thanks to the citizens for their support and courtesy, and hoping that they will feel that we have tried to repay them with faithful service.


Respectfully submitted. GEO. A. SCHOFIELD, Selectmen of Ipswich.


CHAS. E. GOODHUE, JOHN A. BROWN,


Ipswich, Jan. 1, 1911.


92


IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.


Acting under the authority of the by-law adopted early in the year. Mr.Chas. E. Goodhue was appointed as Town Accountant. Owing to the fact that the appropriations at the March meeting in 1910, were not made in accordance with the system of bookkeeping recommended by the state and adopted by the new accountant, it has not been possible to get the best results this year, but the accountant has done all that could be done and has made a great improvement in the accounting system. With the appropriations made this year in line with the new method, still better work, can be done. We believe that the town is to be congratuated on secur- ing the services of Mr. Goodhue on this important work, and we feel that as more of the improved methods are adopted, as they will be, that his services will be more and more appreciated, and that . he will receive the compensation justly due for the important work he performs.
