REPORT OF THE CLAM COMMISSIONERS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Gentlemen:
The following is the report of the Clam Commissioners for the year ending December 31, 1927:
We find on investigation that the clam flats in Ipswich are not in as good condition as we would like to see them. Due to the large number of clammers now engaged in the industry, clams are being taken in greater quantities than in past years.
We have some good beds of seed in some of our flats, but it may be perhaps two or three years before they are large enough to dig.
We had a large area closed again this summer for win- ter digging and although it was very successful it was not as good as last year due partly to the open weather we have had up to date. We have had considerable trouble with clammers from our neighboring towns digging clams on Ip- swich flats this year, but it is impossible to protect our flats near the boundaries as well as the other work connected with this commission, for the small appropriation allowed the commissioners by the town. We would like to see the people of Ipswich take a little more interest than they do in the clamming industry as it is now one of the leading ones in the town and the industry needs help this coming year as it never has before.
This year we were allowed a larger appropriation for the purpose of reseeding and we will say that it was suc- cessful as far as it went. We would like to see the same thing on a larger scale as we believe our flats would be back in wonderful shape in a very short time.
94
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
We wish at this time to thank the Selectmen, the Police Department and all others who helped us make the clamming industry a success in 1927.

ment in the performance of its duties. I would also like to bring to the attention of the public that we have had won- derful co-operation by the State Constabulary, they help- ing us in a great many cases with practically no expense to the town. I think we are somewhat indebted to them and take this opportunity to thank them for their co-operation with our department. I also desire to thank any and all other towns and cities who have assisted us in any way as I have received the best co-operation from them and have found them always ready to assist in times of need.
Respectfully submitted, LESTER L. WOOD,
Chief of Police.
