When one considers the situation at the Beach previ- ous to this work being undertaken and then looks over the territory after the work has been done, we believe there will be found a really wonderful piece of work was done. It was the universal sentiment, so far as we could learn, that those in charge of the work, the Chief of Po- lice and his assistants, had accomplished wonders in a single year or indeed, in only three months. It must also be remembered that all the work was done, the cutting out of trees and bushes, the filling up of holes, the gravel- ling of a large area of land to make it suitable for park- ing purposes, the building of a new board walk so long needed from the roadway to the Beach and many other improvements made there, not the least of which was the police work and the handling of the parking and the collection of the fees, all this work was done without the appropriation of a single cent of the town's money and not only paid for but left a balance of nearly a thousand dollars to start work with next season.


We believe that an enlargemnet of the parking space, the erection of necessary sanitary places and other needed improvements will follow along, many of them being possible from the receipts for the coming summer


225


IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


and we hope we have made a start on solving the prob- lem which has for so many years faced the people of Ipswich in regard to the Beach. It would seem that we are on our way to provide a place which is not to be com- mercialized but is to be such a place where one may take his family and children and feel perfectly safe in selecting that Beach for his outing. We know from the Crane family that they have been highly pleased at the result so far accomplished and we also know from what we have heard from those who have seen and used the Beach that not only our own people but many from sur- rounding towns have expressed great appreciation of the work which has been undertaken and the manner in which it has been conducted. Your Committee is in hopes that if not this season, probably at no distant date, when more of the improvements have been accomplished, it will be possible to open up the reservation for parking to the people of the town without charging any fee whatever for Sundays or holidays. Of course, all other days are free to them now.


The other members of the Committee desire to ex- tend their appreciation and thanks to their fellow mem- ber, William E. Garrette, for the great interest he has shown and the amount of time he has devoted to making our plan successful.


We earnestly regret the passing of one of our Com- mittee, Dr. Charles W. Townsend, who was deeply inter- ested in Ipswich Beach and all pertaining to it.


The following quotations from a letter recently re- ceived from the representatives of the Crane family we believe will be of interest to our citizens :


"The feeling is unanimous that conditions at the beach last year were vastly improved. The parking arrangements were more satisfactory, the policing of the beach was excellent, and the general discipline and behavior of those using the beach showed a corresponding improvement."


226


IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


"The Crane family wish to express their great appreciation of the efforts of the Beach Committee, the officials of the town and the Chief of Police in endeavoring to remedy a situation which had be- come most unsatisfactory."


The vacancy caused by Dr. Townsend's death was filled by the appointment of Mr. Frank R. Starkey and the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Edwin H. Damon was filled by the appointment of Mr. Harlan Burke.


As now constituted, the Committee is made up as follows: Three members of the Board of Selectmen, one member of the Board of Health, one member of the Water and Light Commission, the Chief of Police and the Town Counsel, all town officials, and three citizens, Robert T. Bamford, Esq., Roger Warner, Esq., and Joseph F. Claxton, Jr., all of whom have a deep interest in the future of the Beach. The knowledge and experience they have gained in the past year will be of benefit to all in the future management of the Beach. Unless the voters feel that they desire a change, we rec- ommend that the present Committee be continued.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


WELFARE REPORT


To the Citizens of Ipswich :


The taxpayers will be pleased to learn that Welfare expenditures have been reduced from $61,320.19 in 1933 to $47,543.03 in 1934, a drop of nearly twenty-five per- cent.


This large reduction has been accomplished chiefly through the cooperation of the E.R.A. Administrator Wallace has found employment for many family men who have applied to the Welfare for relief, and this has been a substantial help in lightening our financial burdens. Weekly examination of cases at the Welfare room and daily investigations made at the houses of re- cipients of relief have been contributing factors in low- ering costs.


The duty of billing and collecting from other cities and towns, formerly the work of another department, has been taken over by the Welfare and delegated to Miss Dawson, the secretary. The results obtained have justified this change. The amount collected from other cities and towns in 1933 was $8,763.91, while the total collections of 1934 were $11,206.86, a gain of about twen- ty percent. It is not possible to collect all that is owing up to December 31st in any given year. There will nec- essarily be overlappings but these even up in the long run.


The work of investigation in Ipswich and other cities and towns has been carried on through personal visitation and correspondence. Some seventy places have been covered in these ways, the files showing over eight hundred pieces of correspondence, and the mileage above three thousand, of which about two thousand has been paid for at six cents per mile. Investigation has been made of approximately two hundred hospital cases.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


The entire board has worked with an eye single to the best interests of the taxpayer and the needy poor, and it is believed that the results will bear favorable com- parison with those of any other town of like size and condition in the state regardless as to whether the form of government is ancient or modern. In numerous other places the Bureau of Old Age Assistance is separate from the Welfare Board, with extra cost of administra- tion. Here they are combined for the sake of economy and no additional expense entailed.


The number of families being assisted remains prac- tically the same as a year ago. Some of course have been discontinued, but their places have been taken by others. leaving no real change in the total. The board is sensi- ble of the fact that the allowance to each family is con- siderably less than the actual need, but it is also mindful of the plight of the taxpayer. It is obvious that full support cannot be given to families, and that the best the board can do is to afford a measure of relief which must stop at least somewhat short of complete support. Whenever a man able to work has applied for aid and has received an order for supplies, he has been sent to some one of the labor departments of the town to work out his order. In this way close cooperation has existed between the Welfare and other departments which has worked to mutual advantage. There has been some complaint because recipients of aid having work created especially for them have been allowed $3.00 a day, while those employed on regular and necessary town work have been paid $4.00 ; but this has been in accordance with the vote of the town and appears to be wholly fair when viewed in the proper light.


Prospects for the coming year have not brightened. Industrial conditions as a whole give little promise of im- provement and there is no knowing when Federal money allotted to cities and towns will be curtailed. In the uncertainty there appears to be nothing to do but to rec- ommend an appropriation of substantially the same amount as last year.


229


IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


The town infirmary is in good condition and is well managed, Mr. and Mrs. Dorr continuing to give general satisfaction. Those who expect the farm to show a profit should bear in mind that the place is an infirmary, in a very definite sense a semi-hospital, and that much of the superintendent's time is necessarily devoted to per- sonal attentions to those in the home, farming operations being a secondary consideration. If those who think they could make the farm show a profit would impart their information to other farmers in town, it would be thank- fully received. Better, still, the State Board would no doubt receive the information with gratitude because there is not a town or city farm in the state that we know about which shows a profit.


In conclusion, may we say that the town is passing through the most difficult period in its history and there is no branch of its government that is placed in a more trying situation than the welfare department. The board is laboring assiduously to meet the approval of the citi- zens and feels that measurably good work is being ac- complished. We invite intelligent inspection and criti- cism. An unexpended balance of $2,166.62 is being returned to the treasury.


We wish to thank all the departments for the cor- dial cooperation shown us this past year:


Respectfully submitted,


WALTER F. POOLE, Chairman, CHARLES V. HILLS, BESSIE F. DAWSON,


Ipswich Board of Public Welfare.

It will be seen by the foregoing figures that the net expense to the taxpayers for the care and maintenance of the Memorial Building was only $1,239.07, which we consider an excellent showing when it is considered that all of the maintenance costs are included outside of note and interest payments.


236


IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


Some slight changes in the interior of the Building have been suggested which will be fully explained at the Town Meeting.


We also recommend that a safe be purchased as there are now a number of articles of historic value which should be protected from possible loss by fire. An es- timate of the size and cost of such a safe will be given at the Town Meeting and an appropriation for that purpose requested.


We again express our appreciation of the good work and the care taken at the Building.
