IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.

REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
In our report of last year we called attention to the increase ed cost of labor and materials. The past year has seen no improvement. Labor is not only higher but hard to find Material also costs more. Às yet we have not been able to get a quotation on the price of oil, one of the necessary things if we are to keep our streets in good con- dition at anything like a reasonable cost. There are many things that could well be done to improve conditions about town, but we feel that this is not the time to advocate them Among the most necessary and desirable is the ownership of a gravel pit, some kind of a power shovel and a motor truck which could deliver the gravel where needed at a reasonable cost. The sidewalks in town are sadly in need of atten- tion, and a systematic plan, whereby improvements could be made and extended year after year would greatly improve the looks of the Town and add to the comfort and convenience of the citizens. We wish to thank the various departments under the control of the Selectmen for their hearty co-operation, and to congratulate them and the citizens on
.

the results obtained under the circumstances. We particularly wish to call attention to the small amount of unpaid bills at the close of the year, a great improvement over the past. Last year we reported that the survey of the Essex Road had been completed and work would com- mence in the early Spring. We thought so, but the plans and the land damage releases were not given us until the late Fall. A small begin- ning was made at Whittier's Corner, and only the early Winter weather prevented work on the Essex end which will be completed as soon as the weather and labor conditions will permit. While we feel that much should be done in the way of improvements we shall ask only for that which is imperative, feeling that every effort and every thought at the present time should be to aid our Government and our boys at the front.
In conclusion we desire to express our thanks to the Town offic- ials and all others who have assisted us in any way during the past year
FRANK W. KYES, Selectmen JOHN A. BROWN, of GEORGE E. HODGKINS, Ipswich.
