(4) To widen the road beyond the causeway, border it with quick-growing ornamental trees, and leave nothing but a clean sward on either side of the approach to the house. Ivy, or creeper same sort, will hide the bare walls and improve the appearance of the house.
These plans have been approved by practical men, and it is proposed to carry them out without asking for the increase of a single dollar in the appropriation. Give us time, gentlemen, and the results will be satisfactory to the most exacting.
Our sales of produce in 1915 amounted to $706.89. In 1916 the amount was increased to $814.10, with only $57.95 remaining uncollected.
The inventory, Jan. 1, 1916, showed $3923.00. On Jan. 1, 1917, it had risen to $4905.00, an increase in property of $982.00. In addition to seven milking cows, we have of our own raising one bull and six heifers, three of which are coming-in this year.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
The increase in the cost per inmate is attributable to three facts. (1.) A decrease in the number of inmates, (2.) The cost of repairing, moving. and equipping the barn,' (3.) The advanced cost of groceries and clothing.
A glance at the inventory will silence idle rumors regarding hay and potatoes. On Jan. 1, 1917, we had on hand forty tons of, English hay, thirty tons of salt hay, and forty bushels of potatoes.
Taken as a whole, we are much pleased with the year's work. We are deeply indebted to the Superintendent and assistant for what they have done, especially in the repair and moving of the barn, without whose efforts at no increase of wages the work could not have been accomplished. Honorable mention should also be made of Frank Thompson for his general usefulness, Herbert Witham for his care of the gardens, and Albert Peatfield for mason work and many odd jobs. The work of Mrs. Gidney and Miss Powell in the home has been of the usual good character, with Mrs. Julia Gallagher rendering efficient aid.
Four of the members of our household during the year have passed into the Great Beyond. They are: Lizzie Dickinson, Florence Finlayson, Elbridge Sweet and Warren Robinson. Life is sweet to those in fortunate circumstance, but to others death often bring merciful release. May there be light in the Valley when they are called to pass through!
Respectfully submitted.

BOARD OF HEALTH.
Report for the Year One Thousand Nine Hundred and Sixteen.
The year of 1916 was a year of good health conditions for our town. There were about the same number of cases reported to the Board as usual, of diseases dangerous to the public health.
General sanitary conditions were carefully looked after and we believe they will compare favorably with those found in other large towns and cities. We have adhered to the policy adopted several years ago and the general work of the Board has been along the line of that policy.
The special work of the past year has been child welfare. We believe we have made a good beginning in this important consruc- tive work. For the period from July to January we had a welfare nurse on service whose duty it was to follow up all new born infants and to look after such cases of sickness among young children as the Board might require. A detailed account of this work will be found elsewhere in this report.
Child welfare and tuberculosis are the two most important problems with which we have to deal ; and we desire to concentrate special efforts upon these problems during the coming year.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
REPORT OF MILK INSPECTOR.
In submitting my report for the year 1916 I hardly know what to say. In fact there is not much I can say as regards the milk situation except it is to repeat what I have already said in previous reports. In my inspections of the barns, milk rooms, etc., of the milk producers I found them in a good clean and sanitary condition, showing that the rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of Health for the sale and handling of milk have been cheerfully and willingly complied with.
There has been no contagion during the year where the ori- gin has been traced to the milk supply, which is in itself, satisfac- tory proof that we are blessed with good, pure wholesome milk, and as long as milk producers live up to their present standard, I can see where we shall have nothing to fear as regards our milk supply.
To bear me out in my statements in regard to our milk supply, I herewith submit copy of letter received from the Dairy Board of State Board of Agriculture ;
Boston, Mass., Jan. 15, 1917.
Mr. Geo. W. Smith, Inspector of Milk, Ipswich, Mass .:
Dear Sir :
I am enclosing check for $10.00 which according to the propaganda which we put out in the spring, you are entitled to as winner of the third prize as Milk Inspector in the clean milk contest. I congratulate you upon having in your town such producers of clean milk.
Very truly yours,
P. M. HARWOOD, General Agent.
Now as regards the ice cream situation, will say that I have made a careful inspection of all places where the same is on sale and found them in good, clean sanitary condition, and no complaint

FREDERICK S. WITHAM, Clerk.
Ipswich, Jan. 22, 1917.
In the financial report printed elsewhere it will be seen that the Department closed its books with a balance of $276.97. After that date bills to the amount of $133.50 came in which were classed as unpaid bills. The Department tried to get in all bills before the books were closed. The net balance which the treasury will receive is therefore $143.47.
THE HEALTH DILPENSARY AND CHILD WELFARE.
Through the co-operation of the Ipswich Mills, the Day Nur- sery Association and the Federation of Churches, we were able to begin Child Welfare work under very promising auspices. The Mill gave the use of the house at 24 Estes Street, formerly occupied by the Day Nursery. They also furnished a large tent in the yard,
90
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
which we found very useful during the hot days in August and early September. The day Nursery Association gave the use of its equipment which was supplemented by the equipment belonging to the Department. This made a well furnished and equipped place from which to carry on the work. The Federation of Churches paid for the extra nursing which was required while the Dispensary was receiving house patients, from August 15 to October 1. They also rendered valuable assistance in other ways. The Department paid for the services of the Welfare Nurse during the six months she was on duty, and for many other things necessary to carry on the work.
Miss Edna Macafee, R. N., took charge of the work on July 10 The balance of July was devoted to survey of conditions, and the Dispensary and Milk Depot were opened on August 1 and continued until November 1. The Welfare work was carried on until Jan- uary 15, 1917.
The report of the Welfare Nurse shows that there were 205 families in which there were children under two years of age. Sixty-seven children were born in the last six months of the year. These children were under constant observation until January 15. The calls made by the Welfare Nurse by months were as follows :

From August 1 to November 1, 750 quarts of pure milk were distributed by the Dispensary. This was paid for by the takers and was a boon to many infants during the hot period,
From August 15 to October 1, ten house patients were treated at the Dispensary. Four was the greatest number at any one time. One day was the shortest period, and 24 days the longest period that any one patient was in the Dispensary. Three of these

patients paid something toward board and care. The medical at- tendance was furnished by the several physicians in town. Clinics were held five days a week, one hour a day from August 15 to No- vember 1, by several physicians. Eighty-four examinations were made and treatment prescribed, Of surgical cases there were treated one fracture of the forearm, one abcess of the breast, one abcess of the neck, one operation for removal of tonsils.

We extend our most sincere thanks to all agencies and persons who assisted in carrying along the work. It is a work which the Community needs, but it is still in its formative stage and must be built up. Experience has already shown where some changes may be made for its betterment. The Dispensary building forms an ex- cellent centre from which welfare work and a closer study of tuber- culosis may be carried on.
We ask that an appropriation of $133 .. 50 be made for unpaid bills, and that $3500.00 be appropriated for the use of the Depart- ment for the ensuing year.
