Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM E. GARRETTE, Treas.
This year, as last, we have left the matter of manage- ment, development and policing at the Beach in the hands of our Treasurer, as the active member of the Committee in charge. We feel that he has been efficient, painstaking and has at all times labored to make the undertaking a suc- cess. It was our opinion that as Chief of Police he would be far more effective in handling the situation at the Beach than any private citizen would have been and we feel we have been justified in that opinion. If we may judge by the comments made, not only by the citizens of Ipswich but by a large number of people from the surrounding country who have visited Ipswich Beach during the past two years, we cannot help feeling that practically the universal opinion is that he has done a fine piece of work. Of course, there is a lot yet to be done to bring the Beach up to the stand- ard where we would all like to see it but it seems certain
224
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
to us that if we proceed along the lines of the last two years we are going to reach that standard in a compara- tively short time.
When it is taken into consideration that all this work has been done and all the time and energy spent in con- nection with the work without one cent being appropriated or taken from the taxes or any other fund of the town, it should be conceded that the appointment of a Committee has justified itself.
It will be remembered that in our last report we spoke of the possibility of doing away with all parking fees from our own citizens and from those who make their summer home with us. It is our hope to put that plan into effect this year. In the past we have only charged our own people for Sundays and holidays but we feel that now we can do away with the charges on those days as well as on week days.
The bills contracted by your Committee have all been paid. Payment has been made by check, each check being signed by the Treasurer and countersigned by the Chair- man or Vice-Chairman of the Committee. Itemized ac- counts, cancelled checks and all papers pertaining to the work of the Committee are in the hands of the Secretary and Treasurer and are open for inspection.
IPSWICH BEACH COMMITTEE, GEORGE A. SCHOFIELD, Chairman, ROBERT T. BAMFORD, Vice-Chairman, CHARLES A. MALLARD, Secretary, WILLIAM E. GARRETTE, Treasurer, HARLAND BURKE, CHARLES E. AMES, BRAINARD E. WALLACE, FRANK R. STARKEY.
NOTE :- Roger S. Warner and Joseph F. Claxton, Jr., members of the Committee were unable to be present at the meeting when the report was presented.

From the above figures it is seen that the increase in sales of electricity is about the same as in previous years. It must be remembered however that these increases of from 10 to 12% each year in output is compounded as for example in the year 1925 the total output was 768,339 K.W.H. and in 1935 2,403,178 K.W.H. or a gain in the ten year period of more than 200%.

WATER AND LIGHT COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
We are pleased to report an increase in energy out- put of 11% over the previous year. In conjunction with this you will note a decrease in revenue of $4,364.03. This decrease in revenue was due to the downward ad- justment of rates as of Jan. 1, 1935. In other words the consumers of electricity in Ipswich during the past year used 11% more electricity and at the same time paid 5% less for it.
As the department furnishes street lighting at cost any saving in operating costs reflects itself in a lower appropriation for street lighting. Due to the increase in output and a saving in operating costs we have been able to reduce these costs from $10,000. in 1934, to $8,700. in 1935, to $8,000. in 1936, a reduction of 20% in three years.
We recommend that this sum of $8,000. be raised and appropriated for street lighting for the year 1936 in accordance with Chap. 269 of the Acts of 1927.
In reference to electric rates a report compiled by the Federal Power Commission shows that of 31 Massa- chusetts towns from 5,000 to 10,000 population lists the Town of Ipswich as follows:
For 25 K.W.H. use per month 6th
For 100 K.W.H. use per month 5th
For 250 K.W.H. use per month 6th
During the past year there have been no major changes made in the Plant, but during the later part of the year the increased loads put upon the system caused a survey to be made of the outside feeder system. As a result of this survey a plan was made to improve the voltage by placing automatic regulators at different points on the circuits. In December two regulators were put on the main circuit which supplies current to the factories and the business section in the central part of the Town. As more of these regulators are put in oper-
27
WATER AND LIGHT COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
ation the service to not only the factories and stores but to the private residences as well will be materially im- proved by having constant voltage at all times.
In the Water department during the past year the work of replacing the 4 inch water pipe on Lower East street with 8 inch pipe was completed in conjunction with the Federal E.R.A. We have proposed several other ex- tensions of the water mains as Federal W.P.A. projects and expect that some of these will be accepted during the coming years.
We recommend that a sum of money be appropriated for the current expenses of the Water department, this money to be paid from the receipts of the department.
