Twenty trees, Sugar Maples, were planted the past Spring on the westerly side of Fairview Avenue. As there are many other streets about town which would be greatly improved by judicious planting it is recommended that this policy of planting each year be permanent but on a larger scale.
This department recommends an appropriation of $1000 for the ensuing year.
Respectfully submitted, FRANCIS C. WADE, Tree Warden.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
REPORT OF PARK COMMISSIONERS.
To the Citizens of Ipswich :
The Board of Park Commissioners herewith submit their anual report.
The work the past year has been somewhat along the lines followed in other years, namely, maintaining smooth lawns on the numerous plots, from Market Sq. to and about the First Church, called the North Common, or Meeting House Green. This was also done on the South Common but there the Commissioners somewhat enlarged their field by regrading and seeding the portion of the baseball field directly in front of the South Cemetery. Weather condi- tions were favorable for this work and it resulted in a fine catch of grass which greatly improved the general appear- ance of that locality. This additional acreage materially increased the mowing and the Commissioners recommend that a power mower be purchased for their use this year.
We also maintained the usual beds of flowering plants on both commons and as customary planted the same beds with tulips this fall.
Our work this coming year will consist largely in main- ' taining the commons in their attractiveness. The only new work we hope to undertake is some further filling and grad- ing on both the new and old portions of South Common or as sometimes called School House Green.
Respectfully submitted, FRANCIS C. WADE, CHARLES H. WELLS, SAMUEL C. GORDON,
Park Commissioners.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
SELECTMEN'S REPORT
We wish to bring to the attention of the citizens the fact that owing to the large increase in traffic on our high- ways the town will be called upon to add to its highway equipment to meet the conditions. The Statutes provide that a town in which a State highway lies shall at its own expense keep such highway sufficiently clear from snow and ice to be reasonably safe for travel. We recommend that the town purchase a tractor and snow plow for clearing snow from the streets, thereby making a great saving over the present system. The tractor may also be used to great advantage on a street scraper and in many other phases of highway department work. We have used 85% asphaltic oil on our streets with good success the past year at a small increase in price per gallon over the thin oil used in pre- vious years, which was only a dust layer at best. We also recommend a Ford car for the police department and one for the moth department. In view of the fact that the transportation problems in these departments in the past have been very unsatisfactory and expensive, we believe that the acquisition of these two cars will result in a sav- ing for the town. We find that the matters of street and drain location; have been sadly neglected in the past and
132
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
we are having new surveys made, re-establishing locations and boundaries.
We recommend the purchasing of the Mayer & Porte .. garage on Manning Street to make additional storage for the equipment of the different town departments. We are now renting storage for some of them which is very unsat- isfactory. If this is done we could dispose of the Hose 2 house in Lord Square and house the entire equipment in one place.
We regret very much the departure of our efficient Chief of Police, Edward Leavitt, who has so capably filled this position for a term of years. It is our belief that the Police Department has never been so efficient as it has been under the administration of Chief Leavitt.
The toilet on the Town Wharf was removed by order of the Board of Health. The Selectmen sincerely regretted that it was nece sary for them to act so but they could do nothing else. There were no funds at that time to build a new toilet but we feel that one is absolutely necessary at this location as a convenience to the great many visitors who daily come and go from points on the river.
We wish to call the attention of the voters to the great cost of snow removal during the month of January, 1923. This amounted to approximately $8,500.00. When the amount for one month is compared to the total amount spent for this purpose during 1922, which was $3,700, it will be seen that the increase in the Highway appropriation is perfectly justified.
