Taxpayers would frequently be saved from disappoint- ment if they would make in due season the returns contemplated by the law' Every year notices are posted requiring all persons lo bring in lists of their taxable assets by the fifteenth of May. Out two thousand taxpayers perhaps twenty present such lists. But when one thinks his personal property has been valued too highly, and that he is entitled to a reduction he finds himself penalized for his delay. In such cases assessors have no authority to abate fully if at all, and are themselves liable to a penalty for failure to com- ply with the law. Blanks prepared for making such returns can be had on application.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.


Town Clerk's Report.


To the Selectmen of Ipswich,


Gentlemen :


In submitting my annual report of the doings of the Clerk's Office, I would call the attention of the citizens of the Town to the fact that quite a number of the books in the office are in such con- dition that they cannot be used until they have been rebound ; and I shall be compelled to have that done as soon as possible. I refer particularly to the books of records that are in daily use, the Vital Statistics and Records of Town Meetings. All these books must be kept in good condition as they are in use every day. I find that the older records are being consulted a great deal more in recent years, not only for historical and geanealogical purposes but for the pur- pose of establishing the rights of the Town and of individuals.
