TOWN CLERK'S REPORT.
To the Selectmen of Ipswich,
Gentlemen:
I submit my annual report for the year 1911. The past year has been a busy one in many respects, the office has been at work as usual looking for missing property and also looking after much that is still in the hands of the Selectmen and Clerk. I would sug- gest that the papers, documents. and other matters now in the store room be examined by a competent committee and all the valuable matter be put in proper shape; and made so that it can be readily examined as occasion may require. That there is much of value among the mass collected there is true and it should be taken care of as soon as possible. The experience of the pist should be a warning, that the continued neglect will mean more loss to the town and perhaps further slipping away of valuable rights by the same carelessness that has prevailed in the past.
I am pleased to report that the vaults in the offices of the Selectmen, Treasurer and Clerk are to be furnished with steel fittings and receptacles for the books and papers of the several departments, a move in the right direction as it will be almost a perfect guaranty that those books and papers are secured against damage by fire at least.
I have been very much disturbed in the past thinking that the old records might be lost by some accident and the story of the town in the earlier years of the Colony and State be destroyed so

IF SWICH TOWN REPORT
far as the town meetings and actions taken in those meetings are concerned .
An important change has been made by the Commonwealth. relating to the issuing of Marriage Certificates. Sinc- the first day of the New Year all persons de ering to marry in this State must file notice of thelr intention five days at least with the Registrars or Clerks of the places in which they make their homes before they can receive their Certificate. The record of intentions will be filed in the proper office and at the expiration of five full days the certi. ficate can be issued by the Clerk or Registrar.
I submit the usual report of vital statistics and would suggest a careful perusal of them, they present sonie very interesting facts for consideration.

We recommend the Town purchase 500 feet of new hose.
We wish to report that we have placed a fire alarm box (No. 6) at Agawam Heights as was requested by a vote of the Town.
We recommend the Town raise and appropriate $1000 for the use of remodelling the truck and purchasing new ladders, or purchasing a new Ladder Truck, as in our opinion it is unsafe in its present condition. Therefore; we feel it our duty to guard the town against any accident which might occur in its present condition.
We also recommend in the near future the change of the present Fire Alarm system, to a system of storage battery, by so doing we would be able to have the system in four circuits, so if one circuit or part of the town should not be in working order, it . would not effect the remaining parts as it does at the present time.
