REPORT OF MILK INSPECTOR
To the Board of Health of Ipswich,
Gentlemen :
To keep the milk supply of a town the size of Ipswich pure requires a great deal of time and study. Milk supplies of large cities and towns are produced by large milk contractors and the general milk of these contractors is about all an in- spector need concern himself. But in our town the most of the milk is produced by local farmers, calling for a constant knowledge of the sanitary condition of the individual output. It is only by numerous inspections and keeping in touch with producers and dealers that a satisfactory standard is main- tained. I fail to find a town the size of Ipswich that has as complete a system of milk inspection as we have at present. Milk is so extensively used for children from birth to school age that it requires a rigid inspection. I find that most pro- ducers are willing to cooperate and are making honest efforts to produce milk that will stand the test for quality. I wish to thank all who have in any way contributed to the quality of our milk supply.
Respectfully submitted, EBEN B. MOULTON, Milk Inspector.
OVERSEERS OF THE POOR
OUT POOR
The Overseers' work in this department has been a matter of form as in past years and changes are made after investiga- ting the cases and acting accordingly according to the condi- tions of each case. A number of cases have been dropped from our list ; some having married, some having lost their settle- ment, and some have found a way of taking responsibilities on their own shoulders while others have passed on to the happier land. As usual after taking some off the list others find conditions so that they have applied for aid. This year we have had applications from mothers with small children where the father has deserted the family, or has passed away or is ill and unable to provide for the little ones. For these little ones and the mothers we have found it necessary to call for more funds than usual. After investigating these cases we think we have not been too lenient and yet have been conser- vative in keeping them warm and and keeping hunger from their doors. We have found it practical under the present fuel conditions to cut wood from land owned by the town and de- liver it to the needy.
TOWN FARM.
About April 10, 1925, the Superintendent, Mr. Noreen, notified the Overseers that he wished to get through by May 1st. Immediately we placed advertisements in various papers
121
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
with the idea of securing a new superintendent but by May 1st had not succeeded in obtaining anyone for the position. It was then necessary for the Overseers to go to Mr. Noreen and request that he stay two weeks longer. During this time we found that he did not take much interest in the farm which made it much harder for the new man. After interviewing about sixteen applicants we were fortunate in securing Mr. B. M. Hart of Beverly, a man of experience who was able to take up the work and make a good showing. You will note that his returns were the largest that have been made at the farm for a great many years. The expenditures were larger than the past few years and thus brought the average cost per inmate to $7.12 per week, but after viewing the work of the new superintendent we feel safe in predicting that this amount will be cut quite a little the coming year. Mr. Hart has made several improvements about the house and barn and the inmates are much better cared for than in past years.

Report of TRUSTEES OF MEMORIAL HALL
To the Citizens of Ipswich :
On another page of this book you will find the detailed report of the receipts and expenditures made for the year in connection with Memorial Hall.
The total appropriation made by the town was $2012.25
" expenses were 2005.63
Unexpended balance $ 6.62
But that does not tell the whole story for although your Trustees have never asked for the payment of any rental from the war veterans and their auxiliary associations, neverthe- less each year since the building was erected, those organiza- tions have voluntarily paid to the Town Treasurer sums of money for the use of the quarters which they occupy in the building. The payments made this year were as follows:
Ipswich Post #80 American Legion
$1080.00
Legion Auxiliary, rent
120.00
W. R. C. rent
480.00
D. A. R. rent 7.50
Refund from state
25.00
$ 1712.50
This total deducted from the amount paid by the Town leaves only $293.13 actually paid from town funds for the

maintenance of Memorial Hall for the year 1925. We believe this is a very remarkable showing and we know that the cit- izens appreciate what has been done
During the past year we have been fortunate in retaining the services of Charles E. Brockelbank as superintendent of the building and we have only words of praise for the ex- cellent manner in which both the building and grounds have been cared for. All matters in connection with the building so far as we are able to ascertain, are in a very satisfactory condition and we are pleased to say that the various organiza- tions at the building seem to be enjoying and appreciating what the citizens of Ipswich did in erecting this memorial.

REPORT OF TOWN COUNSEL
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen, Ipswich, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen :
I desire to submit to you a brief report of the work done by the Town Counsel for the year ending December 31, 1925.
Under the by-law of the Town, the Counsel is paid $100.00, for which it is his duty to give opinions as to legal questions to the various town boards and officers. During the past year, I have been called upon to give such opinions twenty- seven times. Some of the inquiries were verbal and the opinion could be given without a great deal of investigation or looking up of the law. A number of them were more formal written inquiries, some of which required considerable investi- gation and research, both as to the law and as to the town records.
In addition to this work, there have of course been many consultations with the Police Department in regard to matters which had come, or were likely to come, before the courts.
There were also a number of meetings in Boston, Salem and other places where the Town Counsel was required to be present.
A great part of the work of the Town Counsel comes in the preparation and prosecution of cases in the courts. A study of the figures in the Police Department report and the Selectmen's report, both of which are published in this book, will show that there has been an unusual amount of activity in the courts and I may say the reports also show that the result of the prosecutions have been in a very large pro-
129
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
portion of the case successful and the figures of the Town Treasurer show that there has been turned in to the town from the Third District Court for the year 1925 for fines im- posed in these town cases $2304.15. In addition to this amount, a much larger sum for fines have been imposed in automobile cases. All fines in such cases are paid to the state instead of to the town, but the local police and the local Town Counsel are called upon to investigate, prepare for trial and prosecute such cases.
During the past year, acting with the Board of Selectmen, I have tried to get a definite settlement of the Jeffries Neck question. By that you understand I do not mean that the town's rights have not been established. That was done some time ago, but a division of the property so that the town may have entire ownership of its part is a question which has been pending without settlement ever since the court found that the town did have rights there. The work of de- termining what part of the land shall belong to the Town has been pushed forward so vigorously by your Board this year that the present indications are that the matter will be adjusted without further court proceedings and the adjust- ment in all probability will be arranged in the next few months before the summer season opens in that locality.
Respectfully submitted, GEORGE A. SCHOFIELD Town Counsel.
