IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
It is the desire of the Board to do some work along the lines of child welfare to see if some reduction cannot be made in the mor- tality rate of infants under one year of age. A welfare nurse is needed to work among the children during the hot weather months of summer and early fall. The suggestion of Dr. Tucker in his talk during the Health Week that a camp be provided where these cases could be cared for is a most excellent one and would be produc- tive of great good if carried out. Here is an excellent opportunity for some of our people to help in one of the most urgent of our community needs.
The appropriations of 1915 were as follows :
Appropriations for maintenance, unpaid bills,
$3500 00
591 85
Total,
$4,091 85
Total expenditures,
$4068 11
Unexpended balance, 23 74
Total, $4,091 85
Appropriation asked for maintenance in 1916, $3,500 00

REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
Owing to the high cost of living we find it hard to keep the various departments within the allotted appropriations and give the service expected and desired.
In the Highway department we received $425.00 less than in 1914 from the excise and Street Railroad tax. Also we were obliged to spend $500.00 more on the improvement decreed by the County Commissioners at Underhill's Corner than we anticipated when es- timating our needs for the coming year. These two items making an unexpected deficiency of nearly $1000.00.
Last year we recommended the purchase of a road oiling ma- chine at a cost of $600.00. With this we used 25,600 gallons of oil at a cost of $978.75 for oil and labor, covering 167,901 square vards. Having this amount applied by an oil company, reckoning one cent per square yard, which is .02 of a cent less than we paid in 1914, would have cost $1679.01. Leaving us a balance of $700.26, or in other words we have paid for the machine and have $100.26 left. Much better than we anticipated.
We recommend the purchase of a light truck, a Ford car with express body, for transporting men and light materials and enabling the Superintendent to keep in touch with the work in all parts of the Town.
We would call attention to the granolithic sidewalk on Market street, one-half of which was paid for by the Highway Department. It would improve the appearance of our streets, particularly in the

business section, could more of this work be done.
We are having, at the orders of the State Police, a fire resist- ing room built around the heating plant in the Town Hall at an ex- pense of something like $200.00. The Central Fire Station and Hose 2 house have been rewired at a cost of about $150.00, and we have advertised for bids for rewiring the Town Hall Building. These are all on orders given by the Insurance Company Inspectors as well as by the Inspector of Wires for the Town. These orders are practical- ly mandatory.
Some action will be necessary in the near future in regard to the Town Scales. Those at Willcomb's Corner which were little used and out of repair were removed this year, the street re-sur- faced, making a decided improvement at that place. The scales at Depot square are not as large as are required for safety in weigh- ing many of the motor trucks now in use. And we have found it almost impossible to get anyone willing to attend to'them and have been obliged to give 80% of the receipts to get the work done at all. If we are to have Town Scales they should be located at the Town Hall where the weighing could be done from the inside by the janitor or some other Town official.
The District Court Room was greatly improved and enlarged by removing a partition and placing the entrance at the back, di- rectly into the corridor.
We have given the Girl's Basket Ball team of the Manning High School the use of the Town Hall as a tryout. While we would like to see the team have a place in which to play, we are in doubt as to the wisdom of allowing the use of the hall for that purpose. It is reported that the spectators show little regard for the seats, scenery, etc. We would like an expression of the voters in regard to it.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANK W. KYES, CHARLES G. HULL, JOHN A. BROWN,
Selectmen of Ipswich.
