WATER AND LIGHT COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
Great Neck and Little Neck Extension
There was 22,170 feet of underground cable in- stalled on Little Neck with 7 underground transformer vaults and 27 distribution boxes. A total of 147 cottages were connected and 128 of these were in use during the season of 1932. The total cost of the Little Neck job was $14,066.89 which received $1,947.34 from Little Neck or a return of 14% on the money invested.
The construction work on both jobs outside of the labor of digging trenches on Little Neck was done by the regular force of the Electric Department.
Unemployment
In order to help relieve the unemployed all of the digging on Little Neck in connection with the under- ground cables was done by hand labor thus giving some work to 40 different men furnished by the unemployment committee for a total amount of $1,221.50.
From some time in December 1932 up to the time of this report and as long as we can continue to do so, the Water Department has employed from five to ten men, furnished by the unemployment committee, in connec- tion with the digging up of the main water pipe on the new road being built on the upper end of High Street and for improving conditions around the water storage basins on Dows Brook and Bull Brook. This work con- sists of cutting of brush around these basins and rebuild- ing fences.
Recommendations
I would recommend that the Town appropriate the sum of $10,000.00 for street lighting in compliance with Chapter 269 of the Acts of 1927 which fixes the price at which electricity shall be sold for this purpose.
That tlie present methods used for metering elec- tricity for domestic purposes be changed from a two meter system, one for power and one for light, to a one meter system for both purposes with the rate to be fixed on a sliding scale. This would eliminate the present need of two meters in the same house would save the cus- tomer from having two sets of wiring in the house and I believe it would mean a larger consumption of elec- tricity. C. A. MALLARD,
Manager.

WATER AND LIGHT COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
To the Citizens of Ipswich :
The Municipal Water and Light Commissioners sub- mit their annual report for the year ending December 31, 1932.
Water Department
The expenditures for the year 1933 estimated as follows :
For Interest
$ 1,596.25
For General Expenses
13,000.00
For Note Payment
4,500.00
Total $19,096.25
We recommend that this amount be appropriated from the earnings of the Department.
We would recommend that the sum of $3,000.00 be transferred from the balance in the Water Department to the Town Treasurer to be used to reduce the Tax Levy.
We would also recommend that the unexpended bal- ance in the Department be appropriated for the use of the Department.
Electric Light Department
The Commission unanimously agree that the system used for metering the domestic consumer should be changed to a one meter system with the rates on a slid- ing scale. Plans will be made to make this effective with the idea of lowering the rate on the new schedule to domestic consumers.
We recommend that the sum of $3,000.00 be trans- ferred from the balance in the Electric Light Department to the Town Treasurer to be used to reduce the Tax Levy.
29
WATER AND LIGHT COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
We recommend the unexpended balance be appro- priated for departmental purposes.
On account of the general condition of business and the lack of employment the Electric Light Department has failed to increase the output of current for the first time in many years.
As shown by the Manager's report the electric lines and services were extended to Great Neck and Little Neck the past year.

IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
COMMITTEES' REPORT
To the Citizens of Ipswich :
Once more it is my privilege to bring to you a report of your Committee.
During the past year we have endeavored to pur- chase only supplies which were absolutely necessary. Repairs have been made only in cases where neglect would have caused a hardship or a menace. The largest single item of expense was teacher's salaries. The Com- mittee realizes that the salary question has been and still continues to be the target for criticism but they are unanimous in the opinion that there should be no reduc- tion at this time.
The teachers and all other school employees have agreed to contribute five per cent of their wages to aid in the unemployment situation. This contribution is forth- coming until the end of the school year. This is the course taken in a great many cities and towns because of the fact that it does not affect a teacher's retirement fund, while a reduction in salary would lower the annuity to which a teacher is entitled at the age of retirement.
This contribution was wholly voluntary and shows a good spirit of co-operation.

IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
This year the town received from the state the sum of $9,570, a reimbursement for salaries paid to teachers. This amount goes into the Excess and Deficiency Fund as do the following items: Rowley tuition $3,755, tuition from Beverly, Lynn and Worcester $629.57, and Evening School refund $134, making a total of $14,088.57 which we are obliged to ask for in our budget but which is re- turned to the town treasury.
Although many complaints are made with regard to the expense of running the Ipswich schools, the fol- lowing summary indicates the numerical rank and stand- ing which Ipswich holds among the 355 cities and towns of the Commonwealth in reference to educational outlay, etc.
In population, U. S. census of 1930, her rank is 117. Boston with a population of 781,188 stands first, while Prescott with a population of but 48, holds the 355th or last place.
