IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
SELECTMEN'S REPORT
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
Our roads are in very good repair, due to the fact that heavier grade oil and tar is used in place of light oil. The heavier oil saves a great deal in the maintenance of the highways. We feel that this year much time should be given toward making proper drains, as drainage is essential to any good road. Many guard rails have been replaced this year making traffic much safer on curves. Linebrook Road should be finished this year, also the road over the marsh to Eagle Hill. This new road is a valuable addition to our highways and if given proper supervision will last for some years. We recommend for sidewalks the same as last year, something of a perma- nent nature. The Selectmen would like better care of permanent sidewalks regarding snow and ice as the abut- ter is wholly responsible in case of accident.
TOWN HALL
The roof of the town hall has been placed in good condition. We felt that this was an emergency as the un- derpinning had decayed and nothing but the weight of the bell kept the belfry in its place which might cause the loss of life and property. The interior of the hall needs renovating throughout, such as plaster and paint. After this has been done we would consider the hall to all intents and purposes to be in fair condition.
PERAMBULATION
In accordance with the law the Selectmen have gone over the lines between the towns of Rowley, Boxford, Topsfield, Hamilton, and Essex. This work is not quite completed the boundary between Essex and Ipswich at Black Rocks has yet to be gone over. This will be done when the weather permits.
We desire to extend our thanks to all those who have assisted us in our many duties.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH F. CLAXTON, JR. EDWIN H. DAMON, J. VINCENT HUBBARD, Selectmen.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT 1
ASSESSOR'S REPORT
To the Citizens of Ipswich :
In making this, the annual report of the Board of Assessors, there has been included the work sheet that is used in computing the tax rate, and tables of aggre- gates covering the work of this Department.
We were again faced with the necessity of an in- creased Tax Rate this year over the previous years, due to increased appropriations and perhaps it will be well to compare appropriations for the past three years, in 1928 you appropriated $265,095.55; 1929, $276,141.80, and 1930 $293,877.05, an increase of over $28,000.00.
Our receipts were somewhat smaller this year, on Excise Tax while there were 1633 cars registered against 1658 in 1929, the value was $43,310.00 less and Tax showed a loss of $2,114.30 due principally to taxing this year on a monthly basis instead of annually, semi-annual- ly, and quarterly as in 1929. For 1931 our revenue will be still smaller as on Corporation and Bank tax will loose about $6,500.00, and on Income tax also it is generally conceded there will be an appreciable loss ,how much we are unable to estimate at this time.
Your Board feel it our duty to call to your attention that with loss of revenue that we can estimate at this time and if appropriations increase this year as com- pared with past two years, you will be faced with an in- crease of $3.50 for 1931, provided valuations are same as for 1930.
Respectfully submitted, C. CHESTER CALDWELL, GEORGE FALL, JOHN E. NORMAN,
Assessors of Ipswich.

favor to have them reported at once, so that correction may be made.
Some of the many reasons why births should be re- corded :
To prove legitimacy.
To establish identity.
To prove nationality.
To show when a child has the right to enter school.
To show when a child has the right to seek employ- ment under the Child Labor Law.
To show when a child has the right to apply for a license to operate a motor vehicle.
To establish the right to inheritance to property.
To establish liability to military duty as well as ex- emption therefrom.
To establish the right to vote.
To establish the right to hold public office.
To qualify to hold title to, and to buy and sell real estate.
To prove the age at which the marriage contract may be entered into.
To make possible statistical studies of health condi- tions.
As required by Chapter 46, Section 15, General Laws of Massachusetts notice is hereby given that the Town Clerk will furnish blanks for returns of births to parents, householders, physicians and registered hospitals' offi- cers applying therefor.
