IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
To the citizens of Ipswich, Gentlemen:
An examination of the Debt Statement, on page 86, shows that the Town has had a very prosperous year. The following table shows the standing of the Town at the close of the year, (exclusive of the Water and Electric Light Departments which are found in separate reports.) .
CR.
By cash on hand Jan. 1, 1912. $ 3,050 37
By amount due Town for taxes and other bills 36,422'81
$39.473 18
DR.
To unpaid tax notes, 1911-1912 $22,157 00
To unpaid orders in book 424 36
$22,581 36
Balance in favor of Town $16,891 82
This shows an increase of the balance in favor of the Town over last year of $3,223.53. Your attention is also called to the fact that there has been a reduction of $9,765.33 in the net debt of the Town exclusive of the Water and Electric Light Departments, the
109
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
net debt last year being $28,473.51 and this year only $18,708.18. In spite of the fact that there has been a number of calls for in- creased appropriations, the Town has made an excellent financial showing.
Your attention is called to page 87 of this report. The table on this page shows that nearly all of the departments kept within their appropriation. The Overseers of the Poor and the Farm department were obliged. to secure additional appropriations in December, and even with these additions, they are overdrawn. The overdraft of $183.98 in the Highway Dept. is deserving of explanation. As a matter of fact this department is entitled to . credit for a surplus of about $800, for there was paid out of the Highway cash for 1911, $600 for a pair of horses and $325.00 for a new sprinkling cart, for which the town made no appropriation In addition to that no credit has been given for the use of horses by the fire department, which is worth a least $600 a year for the six horses.
At the last annual meeting authority was given to borrow $2,000.00 to extend the new highway work up Central Street. After consultation with representatives of the State Highway Commission, who provided plans and surveys free of expense for the town, we came to the conclusion that it would be better to await another ap- propriation to be added to that of last year, and to do a larger amount of work under one contract this year. It was our belief that quite a sum would be saved by doing this, and that it would be better to have the work completed under one contract, than it would to dig up the street and interfere with traffic two years. We recommend an appropriation of $3,000.00 this year, to be added to the $2,000.00 appropriatiod last year, none of which has been ex- pended.
Following the direction of the voters at a recent, special Town meeting, we have secured Horace I. Bartlett of Newburyport, an attorney who has a reputation as an expert on land court cases and Commoners' Rights, to assist the Town counsel to care for the Town interests in the case brought by Alexander B. Clark in the
110
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
Land Courts. We have taken, and will continue to take, every possible step to guard the public rights on our shores and beaches.
Pages 89 to 105 of this report contain the figures arranged in the form prescribed by the State, for Town accounting. The Town Accountant's books have been kept in accordance with the method approved by the State, and the whole system of bookkeeping has been greatly improved under the new system.
There are other matters in the warrant for the annual Town meeting which call for recommendations from our board, which can be explained better at the meeting than in this report. Your attention will be directed to them at the proper time. Thanking all our citizens and officials for the courtesy and kindness shown us, and hoping that the result of our labors as public officials has been in an advancement of the public good, we remain,
Very respectfully,
