Per Capita Tax Figures
It is said sometimes that the people of Ipswich pay too much in taxes, and your board has gathered some figures on this subject. and have included them as a part of this report, in order that the figures may be studied by the taxpayers.
The number of towns and cities in Essex county is 34.
In 1924, the average amount of taxes paid by each man, woman and child in the county was $42.17.
In 1924, the average amount for every man, woman and child in Ipswich was $32.56.
The average in Ipswich in 1924 was $9.61 less for every man, woman and child than was the average for the county.
The number of places in the county with an average high- er than Ipswich in 1924 was 22. The number with a lower average was 11.
The following is a list of the cities and towns of the county, and the average amount of tax for each man, woman and child in those places for 1924 :-

Per Capita Tax for the State
In 1924 the average amount of tax for every man, woman and child in Massachusetts was $45.28.
The average for every man, woman and child in Ipswich was $32.56.
The average in Ipswich was $12.72 less than the average throughout the entire state.
Tax Rates
In 1921 the tax rate in Ipswich was $28.80, while the aver- age rate for all the cities and towns in the state was $26.64. Ipswich was $2.16 higher than the average for the state.
In 1922, the Ipswich rate was $29.50, while the average for the state was $27.49. Ipswich was $2.01 above the average for the state in that year.
In 1923, the Ipswich rate was $29.50, while the average for the state was $27.07. Ipswich was $2.43 above the state average.
In 1924, the Ipswich rate was $27.50, while the average rates of all towns and cities in the state was $27.71. In the year that has just passed, the Ipswich rate was brought down so it was $.21 below the average for the state. This has been done in spite of the fact that the amount raised here last year on real and personal property was greater than that of 1921 by $20,382.69. The assessors in 1924 were able to announce a rate that was $1.30 less than was the rate for 1921.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
In considering these figures, and the table showing the average amount of taxes in Ipswich for every man, woman and child, the reader should consider the many modern neces- sities and conveniences that Ipswich has as compared with some other places on that list that have a higher average amount of tax for each person, but who receive less for what they pay than do the people of Ipswich. It is the wish of the board that the citizens of the town study these figures as con- tained in this annual report.
In closing, the members of the board wish to extend their thanks to the people of the town and to the other officials of the town for the co-operation that has been rendered.

NOTE-The fact that the figure showing the total valu- ation for 1924, used in the earlier part of this report is differ- ent than that used in the work sheet for 1924, is accounted for by the fact that the figure of the work sheet does not in- clude additional assessments as of December, 1924. In the earlier part of the report, showing comparative valuation totals for 1921 and 1924, the December additional assessments of both. those years was included in the total, in order to ob- tain a complete comparison.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR
Very few of the people of the town know just what con- dition the Town Farm is in. We have done the best that we could during the past year with what money we had. The roof has been repaired but there are several things necessary to do about the house. Four of the rooms need new ceilings and the steps in front of the house are in a very dangerous condition. They must be repaired. It is also necessary that we have a manure spreader, three new horses and various other small things which of course will cost quite a sum of money. We hope to arrange for some plan to care for the inmates so that the farm can be sold. The Board thinks that it should be sold as we doubt if the citizens would care to spend the money necessary to put it in working order. We hope that everyone will give this question of the farm serious thought and any suggestion that will help us to care for the inmates in a better and less expensive way will be greatly appreciated.
We desire to thank everyone who has helped us to relieve the condition of the unfortunate during the past year.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
Health conditions during the year of 1924 have been on the whole satisfactory. While the table showing the number of cases reported looks rather ominous, 312 being the number, when you deduct from the total, 259 cases of mumps, it will be seen that there were only 53 cases of all other diseases left under the eleven headings.
In 1922 there were 29 cases of diphtheria, and in 1923 there were 20 cases. In 1924 there were only 10 cases, which speaks well for the sanitary supervision that was carried on. We hope an even better showing may be made in 1925; and we feel that if parents would avail themselves of the offer of the Board, which is again repeated, to give their children the benefit of the Schick test, that the number would be still fur- ther reduced.
Chapter 75, Sections 49, 50 and 52 of the Revised Laws requires that all diseases dangerous to the public health shall be reported by the attending physician within twenty-four hours of their occurrence. Thirty-seven diseases are included in that list. These diseases must also be reported to the State Department of Health.
Following is the list for 1924 :
Anterior Peleomyelitis

Chicken Pox

Diphtheria

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
Six new cases of tuberculosis were reported as against ten new cases in 1923. Further comment on this disease is made by the director of the division having special charge of this work.
The work of milk inspection has been further developed along constructive lines, which is shown by the report of the Milk Inspector.
Attention is called to the reports of those having special charge of the various divisions of the Department work.

Of the 18 deaths recorded in 1924, 8 were premature births and 6 were stillborn. This fact suggests a social question which it is not the function of this report to discuss.
At the beginning of the year there were 35 cases of tuber- culosis under observation and advice, as compared with 47 cases in 1922. There are still 35 cases under care.
Attention is called to the report of the department nurse. Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE SANITARY INSPECTOR
To the Board of Health of Ipswich,
Gentlemen :
I beg to submit herewith the following report of the Sanitary Inspector for the year ending December 31, 1924.
Sanitary conditions have been very good during the past year all things being considered. There have been fewer con- tagious disease cases than formerly which speaks well for good health conditions in town. One of the worst, as well as one of the most unsightly conditions is the indiscriminate dumping of all kinds of filth in the river and on its banks. I wish to call attention at this time that such dumping is strictly for- bidden under the law. The proper disposal of clam shells is another source of complaint that is always with us. I desire at this time to state that a proper disposal of clam shells is a part of the clam industry. There have been numerous com- plaints of unsanitary conditions at Little Neck but through the co-operation of the Feoffees the same have been greatly bene- fited but there is still room for improvement.

REPORT OF THE MILK INSPECTOR
To the Board of Health,
Gentlemen :
The sanitary condition of a town's milk supply varies from time to time during the year and to keep up the standard of purity calls for constant supervision by the Milk Inspector. The system of tests in use by this department will not allow a producer of milk to go very far astray, and the rights of the consumers are thereby protected. The last analysis of the milk supply of Ipswich showed a marked improvement in quality over last year. In submitting this report I wish to take this opportunity to thank all producers and dealers who have contributed in any way to the quality of our milk supply. As milk is one of the best articles of diet for children the best is none too good. My aim is to keep it as pure and sanitary as possible.
