We with to thank our Town Counsel Hon. George A. Schofield who so generously helped us in drafting our regula- tions and advising us on legal points during the past year, and those who appreciated our efforts.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSIONERS


To the citizens of Ipswich:


We hereby submit the following report:


The work of this department varies but little from year to year, and the usual routine has been carried on as system- atically as possible.


In general, the lawn areas of the town are in very good condition. This has been brought about largely through the application of fertilizer each year for several years. The dry spells, however, usually encountered during the hot weather, keep many spots from growing a good solid turf. This is par- ticularly noticeable on the North Green where numerous out- croppings of ledge indicate shallow soil.


Each year considerable damage is caused by young children who use the Memorial plot on the North Green as a playground particularly during the evenings. There is sufficient room else- where on the Common for the activities of the young folks and we urge more co-operation on the part of parents with regard to this problem.


Both fiag staffs in the center of town were given two coats of paint during the past season at considerable extra expense. Two of the four cannonball foundations were also rebuilt with new cement. .This coming season it will probably be necessary to rebuild the other two. No special appropriation was asked for in making these repairs and the expense was absorbed in the regular appropriation.


During 1938 it will be necessary to resurface the walk leading from the triangular shaped plot on the hill to the front door of the North Church. For many years the lower end of this walk has been hard surfaced, but is now badly heaved, with several varieties of weeds flourishing within it. The upper end of the walk has been maintained with cinders, and due to its


54


IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


sharp incline, is badly washed with every heavy rain. We rec- ommend a new hard surface the entire length of the walk.


Due to the above mentioned work to be done along with the regular routine work we feel that the same amount of money should be appropriated as last year.


Respectfully submitted,


C. GARDNER CAVERLY HENRY S. BOWEN SAMUEL C. GORDON


Park Commissioners.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


REPORT OF MOTH SUPERINTENDENT


To the Board of Selectmen :


I herewith submit my fourth annual report as Superin- tendent of the Moth Department.


The year 1937 showed a tremendous increase in the gyp- sy moth infestation in several parts of the town. Large tracts of woodlands were badly defoliated, and in some sections the defoliation was complete. Many of our public shade trees ad- jacent to these infested lands were likewise badly damaged. Most of the feeding took place in the western and northwestern areas of the town. In general, the varieties of trees which suffered from the ravages of this insect included the oaks, beeches, birches, poplars, willows, larches, pines, and to a certain extent, the elms and maples.


Most of the control work of this department was carried on on public property, although considerable more private work was done this year than last, which means that a larger amount will be returned to the town.


A survey of the privately owned woodlands indicates a fairly heavy deposit of egg clusters of the gypsy moth, which is likely to mean another serious outbreak next year.


At the present time this department is waiting for a W. P. A. project to start to control the anticipated outbreak by creo- soting the egg clusters during the remainder of the winter. The project has already been approved by the Federal government.


Last winter and spring a Federal Browntail project greatly assisted us in the control of the browntail moth problem. Five men and a foreman were employed for several months through- out the town cutting the webs in which these insects pass the winter. Much good work was accomplished by means of the project as the number of browntails was greatly lessened for the


56


IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


past season. In all, approximately twenty-six thousand webs were cut.


Among other insect pests this department must fight each year should be included the satin moth, which feeds on poplars and willows, but were not present to any extent this year; the elm leaf beetle, of which there was a slight increase over last year; the tent-caterpillar and cankerworm. Although the tent caterpillar was prevalent in most sections of the town, no great amount of damage was caused by it. Likewise, the cankerworm infestation was not as serious as in former years.


This year I feel it would be advisable to ask the town for a new shade tree sprayer, the old one having completed twenty- five years of faithful service, it has reached a point where ex- pensive repairs will have to be made on a completely worn out machine. I am recommending the same make of machine, Fitz- henry-Guptill, having practically the same specifications as those of the old machine. This modern outfit is built on skidboards and can be quickly rolled in and out of the body of the present ton and a half truck of the department. The total cost of the machine will not be more than $1185.


Respectfully submitted,


C. GARDNER CAVERLY,


Superintendent of Moth Suppression.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


TREE WARDEN REPORT


To the Citizens of Ipswich:


I herewith submit my fourth annual report as Tree Ward- en.


A considerable amount of pruning was accomplished this year on our shade trees. Nevertheless, there was much more that should have been done if the necessary funds had been available.


During the early fall a large amount of line clearing was done for the Municipal Light department and the Fire depart- ment, and I wish to express my thanks to Mr. Mallard of the Light department and to Mr. Smith of the Fire Department for their cooperation in this work which is so necessary.


Two trees were removed from the highway this year. The old elm standing adjacent to the Strand theatre, which had been in a dying condition for several years, and a small ash tree that interfered with the road construction on Topsfield Road, due to its close proximity to the highway.


During the past season approximately seventy shade trees have been planted on several of our rural streets, most of which are in a thriving condition. A large number of them were paid for out of the Martha I. Savory Fund. This fund was left to the town to be used for the purpose of beautifying Ipswich with the best of trees and shrubs.


On Argilla Road Mr. S. M. Merritt purchased thirty trees and presented them to the town that they might be planted in that vicinity. This gift was greatly appreciated by he Tree Warden Department. Unfortunately the soil conditions were such that a few of the trees did not respond to transplanting, and will have to be replaced.


It is with growing concern that I say many of our older shade trees are in a state of disrepair and should be made safe


58


IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


through pruning, cabling and bolting. This work costs money, and each year only a small proportion of the trees receive the at- tention they should have, because of insufficient funds. On several occasions an argument has been advanced to the effect that we would be better off if these old shade trees could be cut down, thereby doing away with the cost of repairing them. To my mind this is a mistaken notion for several reasons: First, many of them are situated very close to private dwellings, to highways and electric light lines, which would make the cost of removing them very expensive. Ipswich is one of the oldest towns in New England and has a right to her old trees as long as they can be made safe; this could be done at a cost that would be several times less than the cost of removing them.


During the year I have attendedd both the annual and the summer meetings of the Massachusetts Tree Wardens Associa- tion and have gained much useful information.


I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who have shown an interest in the work of this department and hope this interest will increase from year to year.


Respectfully submitted,


C. GARDNER CAVERLY,


Tree Warden.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


REPORT OF THE CLAM COMMISSIONERS


To the Board of Selectmen :


Ipswich, Mass.


The following is the report of the Clam Commissioners for the year ending December 31, 1937.


The condition of the flats in the town are still in very good shape. There are plenty of small clams in the flats and in many cases too many to grow to good advantage. A large area was closed again this year and though it was successful it was not as good as other years, due to the fact that another seeding came in over the flats and they could not grow. We recommend closing of the same area next year.


There were 315 permits issued on December 31, and this number will probably be increased to 350 by the end of May.


There were more violations this year than for many years. Most of them being people from other towns. We again thank the local diggers for their cooperation.


We had a green crab project last winter and we cleaned prac- tically every bank in Ipswich and we exterminated many hun- dreds of thousands. We think that this work should be carried on every year. We believe that a fee should be charged for per- mits.


We wish to thank the Police Department, the Board of Se- lectmen, the Town Counsel and all others who have helped to make the year 1937 successful.


HENRY SHAW, Chairman, HENRY S. BOWEN THOMAS A. ROBERTS.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


REPORT OF SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:


Gentlemen :


I hereby submit the report of the office of Sealer of Weights and Measures, as submitted by my good friend the late William A. Stone, and Deputy Sealer Maxwell of Hamilton for the year ending December 31, 1937.


It should be understood by the citizens of Ipswich that the Town of Ipswich has no jursidictions in setting up Stand- ards of weights and measures. This is done solely and entirely by the State Department of Standards. The fees that are charged are determined by the same department and is turned over to the Town Treasurer.


We have in our local department several sets of scales, bal- ances, and weights, the largest and most expensive being the property of the State. All cities and towns have these sets for the protection of the buying public.


I being a new appointee in this very important position, readily will admit that I have a great deal to learn, and I appre- ciate very much the cooperation of all the Town officials in as- sisting me in this task, for which I am very grateful. I also wish to express my gratitude to Mr. McBride, the Director of Standards, for his cooperation in sending State Inspector Jones down on several occasions to assist, teach, and instruct me in the fine workings of this Department. I feel quite certain fol- lowing his instructions that it is impossible to go wrong. In case of an emergency at any time Inspector Jones stands ready to assist me to attend to the duties of this Office.


I stand ready at all times to act swiftly on any and all com- plaints pertaining to my Office, because a great deal of damage can be done in a short space of time to the public at large. I in-


62

tend to do my work earnestly, honestly, and fearlessly, to the best of my ability.
