SELECTMEN'S REPORT
Highways
1. The condition of the highways in the town of Ipswich is not all that it might be. Nobody recognizes this fact or re- grets it more than the Board of Selectmen. For four years past we have advocated the construction of permanent streets, but so far have been unable to obtain the necessary appropria- tion. Two streets in particular should be constructed imme- diately of a permanent and lasting nature. These are South Main Street and Market Street. During the last five years three thousand dollars have been spent on South Main Street and we have nothing to show for the expenditure. This street can be constructed permanently for fifteen thousand dollars. As to Market Street we have spent in the last five years two thousand dollars on upkeep and have nothing but a poor and rundown condition which is a disgrace to the business section of the town. This street can be constructed permanently for twenty-two thousand dollars. After these streets have been constructed, the cost of upkeep would be practically nothing. Last year we constructed six thousand feet of Linebrook Road together with the State and the County under Chapter 90 of the General Laws. The Selectmen appeared before the County Commissioners and the Department of Public Works and argued for a continuation of this work this year. We have been assured by the Chairman of the County Commissioners that the State and County will come in with us and finish this road to the railroad track during the coming summer. This
92
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
will entail an appropriation which will appear in an article of the warrant and will receive a more thorough statement at the Town Meeting.
Argilla Road. The Selectmen feel that it would be a waste of money to try to do anything permanent with Argilla Road until after the completion of the buildings on the Crane estate.
We wish to call your attention to the fact that many new streets have been accepted the past few years and petitions are continually being filed with the Selectmen that new streets be accepted. Accepting these new streets places an additional financial burden upon the Highway Department which must be met by larger appropriations. It should be kept in mind nevertheless that each new street accepted means the opening up of new territory and greater increase in the taxable valuation.
Sidewalks
2. Two years ago we started a policy of constructing cement sidewalks. Last year we continued and this year we hope to be able to carry out the same policy.
Town Hall
3. Last year we made a number of improvements in the Town Hall which we think have met with general approval. This year it will be necessary to make some repairs on the roof.
4. In accordance with the vote of the town at the town meeting last March, the Selectmen had a new float constructed at the Town Wharf.
Soldiers' Relief And Military Aid
5. It has been necessary during the past year to expend a large amount of money in soldiers' relief. This is an item
93
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
of expenditure over which the Selectmen have little control, except to see that only deserving cases are taken care of, and even then our decision is subject to a change upon appeal to the State Aid Commission.
6. It will be necessary in the near future to construct new bridges at Willowdale over the Ipswich River, and at the so-called Canal Bridge on Argilla Road.
7. In accordance with the vote of the town, the Hose 2 Engine House was advertised for sale and sealed bids re- quested. We received two bids, the highest being for eight hundred dollars. We did not consider that this was a fair price and refused to convey the property. Since then we have accepted an offer of fourteen hundred dollars.
8. During the past year the Selectmen have attended many hearings in which the Town of Ipswich was interested. On the question of the bill controlling the clam flats, we at- tended hearings in the State House and at Newburyport. At times it was necessary to have the Town Counsel accompany us. We believe that it was due to the united efforts of the north shore towns, that the clam flats were saved from being controlled by the State Department of Public Health. At the present time, the selectmen of Ipswich are doing their part towards protesting against the Metropolitan Water System's taking of the Ipswich River. This is a matter of great im- portance to the town of Ipswich and must be fought to the bitter end by all the towns and cities in Essex County.
The Selectmen have also attended hearings before the Department of Public Utilities on the petition of the Boston & Maine Railroad to install electric gates at the Linebrook and Liberty Street crossings. We protested against this on the ground of great danger to school children. At the present time the railroad is considering abolishing the Liberty Street crossing. This was a suggestion of the Department of Public Utilities and we may have to accept their decision.
94
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
9. We feel that we can report that the Great Neck prob- lem is at last about to be solved. An agreement has been reached whereby the town's rights are to be set aside. A ques- tion of great importance in reference to this property must be settled at some future meeting and that is, what disposition the town will make of their share of this tract of land.
