IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
We are glad to be able to state that the department kept within its appropriation and had a balance to its credit of $0.99. We may not be as fortunate next year. We ask that $5000, the amount appropriated last year, be appropriated for the year 1929.
There were in 1928, 167 births and 92 deaths. There were only 2 deaths between the ages of 5 and 20, the school age. That shows one of the results of what care and prevention is doing for the Ipswich schools. These 2 deaths were due to accidental drowning.
· SEWERAGE
At a town meeting held early last summer a commit- tee was appointed and an appropriation made to have a survey made and plans drawn for a system of sewerage for the Town. The Town's instructions have been carried out and the committee's report and recommendations will be submitted to the Annual Town Meeting.
In this connection it might be well to take from de- partment reports a few extracts to show how the boards of those years felt about the matter :
The annual report of the Board of Health for 1910 contained the following paragraph :
"Some preliminary action ought to be taken in re- gard to sewerage. The town has had an object lesson the past year of what an epidemic (typhoid fever) may cost. The danger of the spread of infection would be very materially lessened with proper sewerage. . The amount expended in caring for an epidemic would go a long way toward paying the interest on a sewerage fund. It will have to come in a few years anyhow. Why not begin now ?"
The trustees of the Ipswich Hospital Corporation were interested in the situation and offered through the Board of Health to have a survey and set of plans made for a system of sewerage free of all expense to the Town.
144
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
The survey and set of plans were made and published. Much unfavorable criticism followed and no action was taken by the Town. Conditions today are much worse than they were then.
The Ipswich Board of Health today, stands precise- ly where the boards of 1910 and 1911 stood, and believes the time has come for the town to take action.
Attention is called to the special reports of the Divi- sion of Child Hygiene and Tuberculosis, Sanitary Inspec- tion, Milk Inspection and Inspection of Slaughtering.

DIVISION OF CHILD HYGIENE AND TUBERCULOSIS
REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
This Division, started in 1916, has carried on for 13 years. The division nurse carries on follow-up work among more than 300 children, and a large number of expectant mothers, and in addition to that more than 30 cases of tuberculosis annually.
The mortality rate among children has decreased very materially during that period. It is an interesting fact that in 1918 there were only 2 deaths among chil- dren of school age, viz., 5 to 20 years, and these deaths were both due to accidental drowning.
This preventive and constructive work is, from its nature, less evident to the general public, than any other line of work carried on by the Health Department. Much credit is due Miss Stewart for the faithful and efficient manner in which she performs these arduous duties.
Respectfully submitted, GEORGE E. MacARTHUR, M. D.,

REPORT OF THE SANITARY INSPECTOR
To the Board of Health,
Ipswich, Mass.
Gentlemen :
I beg to submit herewith the report of the Sanitary Inspector for the year ending December 31, 1928.
The past year we have been more fortunate in re- gard to contagious disease than for a number of years. Owing to proper medical, as well as sanitary control of these cases, they have been kept down to a low average. The use of preventative measures are beginning to show their value. We have had but few hospital cases which has been a help in keeping down expense.
Other conditions are about the same as in previous years, except that no sewerage and dye stuff are now being discharged into the river by the Ipswich Mills.

MILK INSPECTOR'S REPORT, 1928
There has been no change in the milk situation in the past year. I wish to bring to the notice of those who are running Pasteurizing Plants the new regulation passed by the State Department of Public Health, July 10, 1928, which went into effect January 1, 1929, provid- ing that pasteurized milk shall not contain more than fifty thousand colonies per cubic centimeter when ready for delivery, and that no milk showing a count greater than seven hundred and fifty thousand colonies per cubic centimeter shall be used for pasteurization purposes.
The idea is, that milk containing as many bacteria as that is unfit for food.

REPORT OF THE CLAM COMMISSIONERS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Gentlemen :
The following is the report of the Clam and Fish Commissioners for the year ending December 31, 1928 :
We find that clamming at the present time is very poor, this condition having been brought about by the closing of all clam beds in the Ipswich River by the State Board of Health. The ruling of the State Department of Public Health in closing of such a large area of flats has put the clammers to a great disadvantage as this is the main source of winter clamming.
By a vote of the town meeting last spring we were given one thousand dollars for reseeding and protection of clam flats. The reseeding, being a new experiment, was carried through with very good success. After watching the beds that were seseeded we find that seed may be transplanted from one bed to another with good results. When the seed was dug it was about one-half inch in length; from the month of April until the present time it has grown to an average of from three to three and one-half inches in length. We employed as many men as we thought were needed; dug the seed and trans- planted it. We put in nine beds, two of them being very large ; these being in flats between Eagle Hill and Smith's Island. The smaller beds are scattered throughout Eagle Hill River.
We recommend that the same thing be done this year for we think that if this work is kept up for a few years we will have flats, that are now barren, again bear- ing clams.
We had a few convictions in Court for violations of the shell fish laws, but our trouble in this line has been very small compared with previous years.
151
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
The clammers have paid to the town $860.00 for permits to dig clams for the year 1928, bringing the net expense to the town to $140.00 or $210.00 less than the previous year.
We wish to thank the Selectmen, Town Counsel and the Police Department for their co-operation with us during the year.
Number of permits issued in 1927, 222 ; in 1928, 172.

PUBLIC WELFARE REPORT FOR 1928
In accordance with the custom and the requirements of the law, the Board of Public Welfare herewith submits its report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1928. Thanking the public for their past courtesies and support we wish to assure you that it is our purpose to fulfill our obligations and our duties in the coming year as we have in the past, pertaining to our department. During the year we have worked under rather adverse conditions, due to the local mill closing down entirely.
The depression in business for 1928 has increased the demand for aid from the Public Welfare Department a great deal more than it has in previous years. Numbers who have spent the last of what small savings they had finally have had to make application to this Department for aid through the winter months. Others who earned enough only to provide for themselves from one week to another also found it necessary to apply for aid.
The majority appreciate the small amounts dolled out to them, while others consider it an obligation due them.
Ninety-one cases have been investigated ; seventy-six cases in Ipswich and fifteen cases in other towns and cities, of which we found it necessary to aid fifty-four cases in Ipswich and thirteen cases in other towns and cities. Of the families aided in Ipswich there were seventy-nine adults, divided there being fifty females and thirty-nine males. One hundred and sixty-eight are in- cluded in these families. Although these cases were not all aided with groceries and fuel, it was necessary to give some medical aid or medical treatment.
Of the fifty-four cases aided in the Town, four of them were State cases for which we are entirely reim- bursed by the State. Four cases have other town or city
155
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
settlements, the Town to be reimbursed by the town or city where the settlement belongs.
Of ten notices received from the Cable Memorial Hospital, ten settlements have been determined by the Board.
Four Mothers' Aid cases are now being cared for, of which the Town is reimbursed one-third by the State, under the law. In three of these cases the mothers are widows, and in the other the husband has deserted the family. In these families there are seventeen children. The Mothers' Aid requires that the mother receive ade- quate means to bring her children up under proper con- ditions.
In giving aid to the unfortunate ones we investigate the past and present conditions of the individuals. Un- fortunately some have been unable, when they had a surplus, to lay it aside for a rainy day, and when they are taken sick they are obliged to apply to this Department as their last source.
The requests for aid by new cases has become a serious and complicated problem and have increased the expense of the Department, and also the amount of time to properly investigate the cases to determine what town or city their proper legal settlement belongs. The settle- ment is very important, as the town or city must bear its own expense.
Respectfully submitted,
WALTER F. POOLE, JOHN R. MORRIS, FRANCIS E. WOOD, Board of Public Welfare.
TOWN INFIRMARY
During this, the fourth year of Mr. Hart's incum- bancy as Superintendent, the condition of the Farm is increasingly satisfactory. Mr. Hart is a practical farmer and the crops are handled in a very efficient manner. Mrs. Hart is a most kindly and conscientious matron, and the inmates, several of whom are confined to their rooms, receive the best of care and consideration.
The telephone has proved its worth on many occa- sions and has saved a number of unnecessary trips to Town, which means a good deal in the winter when the roads are in a very bad condition.
The next thing needed is an electric lighting system, which would remove the great danger of fire that exists at the present time. The inmates are nearly all of an advanced age, and it is impossible for lamps to be entirely safe. We recommend that this system be installed and the street lights to be extended to the Farm. There is at present a long stretch of road, owned by the Town, but entirely unimproved, which would be much safer if lighted.
The house has been put into fairly good condition during the past year. Much needed repairs have been made throughout. The ceilings, many of which were un- safe, have been reconditioned. The woodwork and walls have been painted and some of the old windows repaired or replaced. The long flight of steps leading to the front entrance of the house, which was in a precarious condi- tion, has been made safe.
The little cemetery on the hill in the rear of the house which has been neglected for many years, has been made neat and tidy ; the growth of small trees and bushes has been trimmed up and the plot put into good shape.
Last year was a very poor year for most crops in this vicinity, but in spite of this a very good showing was
157
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
made in many kinds of vegetables. At the Christmas season about twenty-five baskets of fruit and vegetables were donated from the Farm to the needy families of the Town. More than one hundred tons of hay were cut last year ; a most unusual amount.
The number of milk producing cows is smaller this year than in some years past, but Mr. Hart is raising a number of fine heifers which by another year will in- crease the production of milk to an appreciable extent.
We wish to thank those who have taken pains to visit the Town Infirmary, and we assure them that their visits and efforts to bring pleasure to the unfortunate people are heartily appreciated, both by the inmates and the family of the Superintendent.
An invitation is extended to any one desiring to visit the Farm, to do so at any time. They will be courteously received and will be shown everything of interest around the house and grounds. Such a visit would be very inter- esting to any one making the effort, and would prove a great eye opener to those who have no idea of conditions existing at an institution of this kind.
We wish also, especially · to thank several of our townspeople, both men and women, who have kindly made gifts of excellent clothing and money for the bene- fit of the inmates of the Infirmary during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
WALTER F. POOLE, JOHN R. MORRIS, FRANCIS E. WOOD, Board of Public Welfare.
