We have placed on a pole in Market Square a traffic siren to be operated from the station when a call comes in requiring the apparatus to go through there. We feel that it will help bad traffic conditions which the drivers have encountered there in times past. Upon hearing this siren, drivers of all vehicles should drive to the curb and stop until the apparatus is past.
We are asking, this year, for an increase of the salary item in our budget. An increase of $200 for the Board of En- gineers, the increase to go to the Chief as the work and respon- sibility attached to that office has increased greatly during the past decade and the pay has not. Also the sum of $240. to pay for a substitute for the permanent men during their vaca- tion period. At the present time they work 48 hour periods while one is off.
Last year we called your attention to the fact that auto- matic sprinklers and alarm system had been installed in the Central group of school buildings and recommended that fur- ther work along this line be done, but nothing has and we think all our public buildings should be protected in this way, as it means lower insurance costs and a guarantee that a very serious loss by fire will not occur.
210
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
As there is a committee to be appointed to look into the matter of remodeling some parts of the Town Hall, we will suggest that they inquire into the possibilty of installing an automatic sprinkler system for the protection of that building.
If such a system is installed, it would be a measure of economy, as a substantial saving in insurance would be made which in a few years would amount to what the system costs to install and it would be the means of keeping the loss down if a fire starts.
We believe that an investment of this kind is worth while.
Respectfully Yours, EDWARD H. SMITH SAMUEL W. ATHERLY LIONEL SHEPPARD The Board of Fire Engineers.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF THE CLAM COMMISSIONERS
To The Board of Selectmen,
Ipswich, Mass.
The board of Clam Commissioners submit the following re- port :
The condition of the flats in the town has perhaps never been better, certainly not since anyone can remember. There are plenty of small clams in the flats that will be large enough to dig in the next summer. Although the digging of undersized clams has been kept down to a very small percentage there have been cases where we have closed our cyes that certain flats might re- ceive a much needed thinning in order that the remaining might have a chance to grow.
· A larger area of flats was closed this year than last and the results were highly satisfactory. When they were opened on December first more than 150 men were seen digging on them an unusual sight for that time of year and very good tides were obtained without much damage to the flats.
The Board recommended closing the same area next year.
There were 320 permits issued since June 1, 1936 and the number will probably reach 400 by the end of the year ending May 31, 1937.
We are pleased to report that in spite of the fact that the num- ber of diggers was larger than ever before, violations of the clam laws and regulations were very few as apparently we were receiving more cooperation from the clammers.
The generous appropriation from the town has enabled the Commissioners to give to the flats the protection and supervision that has been badly needed in other years.
We recommend the same amount for the coming year.
The W. P. A. project in the winter and spring of 1936 was perhaps one of the best things that has happened to the flats. The results are apparent to any who will take the trouble to investi-
212
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
gate where before were useless mussel beds hundreds of bushels of clams are now being dug.
We wish at this time to thank the Selectmen, the Chief of Police, and the officers, the Town Counsel, and all others who have helped make the year 1936 successful.
We believe a fee should be charged for permits and kept in a separate fund to guard against the flats ever becoming barren again.
We are encouraged by the fact that the people of the town are becoming more clam conscious and are beginning to appre- ciate what the clam business means to the town. But more must be done if Ipswich is to get her proper share of the business. The Selectmen of Duxbury and Scituate and other towns along the South Shore along with the Chambers of Commerce and others are doing much to bring the business to that part of the state and if Ipswich is to retain its market it must wake up to meet this competition. The flats on both shores are full of clams but those of Ipswich and the North Shore are of much better quality but unless something is done to keep this before the public we stand to lose much business.
One result of these activities is more money spent by the State on the South Shore flats and not so much trouble from over zealous inspectors. The North Shore Clam Dealers seem to have been particularly singled out for unreasonable and unwar- ranted restrictions.
We suggest that the Selectmen of the North Shore towns get together on boosting our clam business.

ASSESSORS' REPORT
In making this, the annual report' of the Board of As- sessors, there has been included the work sheet that is used in computing the tax rate, and tables of aggregates covering the work of this Department.
The Board in making up the estimated receipts, this as in previous years, was careful to use a conservative amount from all sources of revenue by checking up with the Town Account- ant all amounts received up to time of making rate and esti- mating for the balance of the year.
We were faced this year with an increase in the tax rate, making it $1.10 over the previous year. This year we had a machinery tax law passed abating taxes on certain class of machinery. It was understood that we were not to lose any revenue from this bill, but we have lost a small amount, and the commissioner informs us he is trying to get the legislature to pass a bill this year to cover the amounts which were lost to the cities and towns.
For 1937, the commissioner will inform us just what amount to use as revenue to cover this tax which previously was placed on machinery. There has been a good deal of talk about a revaluation of Ipswich. The Board of Assessors have been fully in accord of this movement for the past eight years, but realizing the taxes were advancing, we did not feel justified in asking for an appropriation for this work which would prob- ably cost about $15,000, and could easily be expended over a period of five years.
There is also considerable talk about the amounts made on a certain class of assessment on property in Ipswich. We
218

feel that the citizens had better leave this to the judgment of the Assessors.

Eryeipelus

Labor Pneumonia

Measles

Scarlet Fever

The board wishes to emphasize the importance of report- ing communicable diseases. We have found during the past year many cases were not reported, and unless this practice is stopped, we will proceed with the authority which is given the board of safety of it's community. (We quote, Chapter 111, Section 109, of the General Laws) .
A householder who knows that a person in his family or house is sick of smallpox, diphtheria, scarlet fever or any other infections or contagious diseases declared by the department dan- gerous to the public health shall forthwith give notice thereof to the board of health of the town where he dwells. Whoever violates any provision of this section, shall be punished by a fine of not more than one hundred dollars.
The number of communicable disease cases, we are happy to say, were lower than usual. One serious case of infantile paralysis developed during the year and although this case was a heavy expense to the board, we are pleased that the child's life was spared.
224
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
The largest expense for the year was for care and treatment of tuberculosis patients at the Middleton Sanatorium. We have received subsidies which have helped materially in lowering said expense.
A very successful diphtheria clinic was held during December by the State Health Department under Dr. Archibald. Well over 130 children were immunized and we wish at this time to express our sincere thanks to those who were responsible in making it as such.
After a lapse of a few years the Child Hygiene Clinics were reopened under the direction of Dr. Collins, assisted by Miss Bailey. At these clinics, children from the age of six months until school age were given physical examinations. (Eighty-five in all). Many defects were found, some of a serious nature and many minor cases that needed attention.
We recommend that the amount of $300.00 be appropriated for the purpose of a nurse to follow up such cases.
The garbage contract was let out on a three year basis, which we feel will prove more satisfactory then the one year system. Fewer complaints have been received, therefore, we feel the amount expended although higher, will prove a benefit to the town.
Sanitary and sewage conditions of the town have and will not improve until a system of sewage has been established.
Respectfully submitted, CHARLES T. AMES, M. D. FRANK L. COLLINS, M. D. PAUL M. JODOIN

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
To the Citizens of Ipswich:
At the beginning of any year it is difficult to determine how large an appropriation will be required to carry on the work of this department during the succeeding twelve months. The best that can be done is to offer an estimate based upon the expenditures of the previous year and the probability of the year that is to come. If developments are as expected, the estimate will be fairly accurate, but if the unexpected takes place, the estimate may be over or under, as the case may be.
From year to year, the estimate for the Infirmary is very close to the mark, and last year was no exception to the rule. The management under Mr. and Mrs. Dorr is uniformly satis- factory, carefulness and prudence being always in evidence. There is no neglect anywhere and the board feels, considering the age of the place, that the Town Home will compare favor- ably with those of most other towns in the state. The State Investigator offers no adverse criticism.
Estimating for the Temporary Aid, Mothers' Aid and Old Age Assistance divisions, however, is a far different thing from that of the Infirmary. Here, the control is not so com- plete, the circumstances much more variable, and the estimate, especially in depression times, is liable to be less accurate. Will the local industrial plants run full or part time, with more or less help? Will wages remain steady, or go up or down? What are the prospects with respect to the clamming business? What of the projects for unemployment financed in whole or in part by the State and Federal governments, will there be any change here, and if so, will we receive more or less financial aid? What of health conditions, will there be more or less of sickness, with an increase or decrease in doctor, nurse, medicine and burial expense? And how about people with Ipswich settlements residing in other cities and towns- will our drafts for the relief of these be heavier or lighter?
226
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
Time alone can answer these and other questions, and the board, not being gifted with foresight beyond that of average individuals, cannot be expected to gauge the future needs with anything like absolute accuracy. To judge the future by the past and base the requirements upon the probability of con- ditions remaining fairly steady, is as far as the board can rea- sonably go. And once the appropriation has been made, it is the fixed purpose of the Department to live within the amount if it can be done without entailing unjustifiable suf- fering.
Last year the appropriation was $45,000.00 but with the careful husbanding of its resources, neither being nig- gardly with the needy nor yet wasteful with the town's money, the board was enabled to transfer to the unemploy- ment fund in the month of November the neat sum of $4,500.00 and still return to the treasury on December 31st an unexpended balance of $1,933.04, thus rendering what is generally acknowledged to be a satisfactory account of its stewardship.
Owing to the steadily increasing requirements of State and Nation, principally through changes in the set-up of Old Age Assistance, Mothers' Aid and unemployment activities, the volume of work devolving upon the board has advanced by leaps and bounds. The responsibilities of the clerical de- partment have gone almost out of sight, necessitating much overtime labor, and the work of investigation with the gath- ering and preparing of facts relating to histories, particularly in the Old Age division, have kept the Agent busily em- ployed. The members of the board have labored in complete harmony which has been necessary to the solving of intricate problems and the successful management of departmental ac- tivities. There is much to be learned in the way of laws, rules, regulations, policies, precedents, etc., and this requires much time and close application to ensure efficiency.
227
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
There is a constantly growing interrelation between the Welfare and every other department of the town government. The Accountant, Assessors, Town Clerk, Cemetery Commis- sioners, Selectmen, School Committee, Police, Treasurer and Collector, and Water and Light Commissioners, in various re- spects, have entered into the work of the Welfare and each and all have been uniformly courteous and helpful. Nor should we fail to appreciate the co-operation of the W. P. A. Coordinator, Mr. Wallace, who has rendered valuable assistance to the Board in providing work for the unemployed who otherwise would have been upon the Welfare relief rolls.
The fact that the Board is asking the town for an approp- riation of $5,000.00 less this year than last, will have a welcome scund in the ears of the distracted taxpayers. Whether this sum will be sufficient remains to be seen, but the board will accept it and put forth every effort to stretch it over the ensuing twelve months.
Respectfully submitted, CHARLES V. HILLS

A year ago we thought certain repairs would have to be made during the year in re-surfacing the steps leading to the building and also repairs on slate on the roof. We got through the year without making these repairs and are showing an un- expended balance on that account. The repairs however should be made very soon and will probably be made during 1937.
