IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
Of the $9000 appropriated to rebuild the highway from Central Square to overhead bridge on High Street, $7133 20 was expended in building from Central Sq. to Lord's Sq., leaving a bal- ance of $1866 20 which with $633.13 paid by the St. R. R. Co. to the Town, makes a total of $2499.93 to complete the work. It is doubt- ful if this sum will be sufficient if the same kind of a road is con- structed from Lord's Square to the overhead bridge.
After years of litigation, during which timne we have always contended that the Town had rights in Great Neck, and that the sale made to A. B. Clark some sixteen years ago was not legal, we have at last secured the decision of the master to whom the whole case was referred, and by that decision the Town wins its case, and the deed to A. B. Clark is declared void. The other side has appealed to the Supreme Court and the case in still pending. It is a great victory for the l'own, up to date, and we do not feel any doubt but that the Supreme Court will confirm it. The case was ably handled by Town counsel Geo. H. W. Hayes and his asso- ciate Horace I. Bartlett of Newburyport.
The work of installing the State system of bookkeeping in the Town offices has been completed and the new books were start- ed for the year 1913 under this system.
The Trustees of the Ipswich Hospital Corporation have sent an important communication to the Town, making a full report of a complete sewer system, with a request that it be laid before the voters. It will soon be published in pamphlet form and a copy mailed to each voter.
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,
101

and hoping that the result of our labor as public officials has been in an advancement of the public good, we remain,
Very respectfully, GEORGE A. SCHOFIELD, Selectmen
CHARLES E. GOODHUE, of
JOHN A. BROWN, Ipswich.
· Ipswich, January, 1913.
INSURANCE FUND.
In addition to the various cash balances as shown in this report, there is on deposit at the First National Bank a sum of money received for insurance on the property destroyed at the Farm last year.
The total insurance allowed by the companies was $4,740.13. Of this amount $3,845.23 was paid before the close of the year, and $894.60 has been allowed and will be paid at once. Of the $3845.23 received, $500 was appropriated by the Town to make repairs at the Farm, and the balance is in the First National Bank.
Respectfully submitted, CHARLES W. BAMFORD,
Town Treasurer.
