. There is need of additional room for the storing of books and papers appertaining to this Department. The valuation books, which are continuous from the year 1840, besides occasional volumes of an earlier date, are increasing at the rate of two annually. And there are other books and papers in great variety, such as returns by individuals and trustees of their taxable estate, records of abatements, abstracts of deeds recorded since the year 1900, abstracts of wills and inventories since that date, notices of appeals and hearings on contested cases of taxes on Bank shares and "foreign stock," laws relating to taxation supplemented with notes of important decisions, tables of taxable stocks and securities with their market value on the first of April, letters of advice from the office of the Tax Commissioner, and letters from individuals at home and abroad. Some of these are required by law to be kept until the Tax Commissioner orders them to be destroyed, and others it is desirable to keep awhile for reference. All of them ought to be kept in a safer place than many of them now occupy.
The present vault, as that end of it which opens into the room occupied by the Town Accountant, and until recently by the Select- men and other Boards is none too large for the papers of their Departments. We recommend that a committee be appointed to report on an enlargement of the present accommodations, either by making a new vault, or by procuring a safe capacious enough for the purpose.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
During the past year use has been made for the first time of in- formation concerning the holders of "foreign stock" or "intangible property" furnished by certain parties for as small per cent on the taxes actually collected by reason thereof. The result appears in an addition of over one hundred thousand dollars to the amount assessed as "other ratable" at an expense of one dollar per thou- sand. If present conditions continue these sums may remain on the list for years to come. But further additions are likely to be checked by proposed legislation both as to the method of taxation, and by making illegal the work of those engaged in supplying this particular kind of information. So that there is very little hope of reducing the tax rate by obtaining large additions of personal property or by "giving it to" A, B, and C. who are supposed to be opulent. And as to marking up real estate for the same purpose, as is sometimes proposed, much of that has been done in the past with that indirect effect, and possibly something more needs to be done, but there are also numerous parcels, that if any change is to be made, ought to be marked down. And in a town like Ipswich a rate in excess of the average is enough in itself to discourage investment either by life long residents, or by would be new comers.
