The general maintenance has varied from other years as different seasons create different disturbances. £ There were 36817 gallons of Asphalt & Tar applied to the streets, covering approximately 110,451 square yards.
Several new streets were treated, namely: Burliegh Aven- ue, Broadway Avenue, Pleasant Street, Spring Street and a Sec- tion of Brown Square.
The new grader purchased in the spring has been a worth- while investment for the department in widening roads, scrap- ing and caring for side ditches for drainage on the rural districts.
The Cletrac Tractor and Sargent Snowplow have proven very satisfactory on the minor tests they have been called out to do, and are well equipped for much harder tasks.
The two Chapter 90 Projects-Mill Road and Topsfield Road were started but it being so late in the season before the Town was authorized to start construction, on either project, and as cold weather set in, it was not deemed advisable to con- tinue operations. The remainder of the work may be completed after the roads have settled in the spring.
On Mill Road the loam and clay were excavated, drainage

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
installed where needed, then gravelled, and then a four inch layer of stone laid, after which a two inch layer of Class I. Bi- tuminous Concrete was laid for twelve hundred feet, which has proven very satisfactory.
Topsfield Road was excavated where needed, drainage in- stalled at different sections, and then gravelled at various depths for thirty-five hundred feet. This section when ready to finish will need a priming coat of tar and then a two inch layer of stone, mixed in place type top.
I recommend that the Town apply for Chapter 90 assist- ance from the State and County on the same basis as last year, to complete Mill Road of ClassI. Bituminous concrete, and a section on Topsfield Road of a two inch mixed in place top.

FRANCIS E. WOOD,

Gentlemen:
The following is the report of the Engineers of the Fire Department for the year 1937.
1937 Report
Bell alarms 35
Still alarms 104
Totals 139
These included:
59 Grass and woods fires
16 House fires
9 Dump fires
17 Chimney fires
3 Oil burner fires
4 Oil stove fires
5 Auto and truck fires
4 False alarms
2 Drowning accidents
20 Other calls
Alarms sent in from street boxes .. 14 Box alarms transmitted from the station 21
13,750 feet 21/2 inch hose laid.
1,250 feet 11/2 inch hose laid. 393 feet of ladders used.
Booster tank water 2,300 gallons used.
Chemicals used 250 gallons. Water cans used 36 times. Brooms used 22 times.
71
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
Engine 2 pumped 10 hours. Engine 1 pumped 4 hours. Engine runs:
Ladder truck made 42 runs.
Engine 1 made 33 runs.
Engine 2 made 50 runs. Engine 3 made 63 runs. Total mileage 377.2
Principal causes of fires where loss was sustained:
Chimney and smoke pipe fires 3
Children and matches 1
Oil stove 2
Electric wires 2
Overheated furnace 1
The property loss by fire for the year 1937 is approximately $6,500 which is very small when compared with the loss in re- cent years. The exact amount cannot be determined as there are some losses that have not been adjusted at this time.
At the present time the apparatus in use is:
Eng. 1- 500 gallon White Triple combination.
Eng. 2-1000 gall Seagrave Triple combination.
Eng. 3- White combination hose and chemical. Ladder 1-Sanford Ladder Truck with 150 gallon booster tank and pump of 75 gallon capacity. One two wheel chemical tank at Little Neck.
4500 ft. of 21/2 in. hose.
400 ft. of 21/2 in. hose, second grade. 500 ft. of 11/2 in. hose.
Fire alarm system consisting of twenty-three street boxes, one transmitter, one air compressor, one air whistle, one whist- ling machine, and all other equipment to maintain it in good working order, at all times. We intend during the year to in- stall some red lights over more of the fire alarm boxes.
72
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
The air compressor used to supply air for our fire alarm whistle broke down so that it was necessary to purchase a new one at an approximate cost of $200.00.
New plates were purchased for our fire alarm batteries as the old ones were too far gone to be affective.
This necessary expense will have to be taken care of out of our 1938 appropriation as all our trouble with the compressor and batteries occurred since the first of the year.
We recommend the purchase of hose this year and we rec- ommend new rear tires for the ladder truck.
We wish to also call to your attention that the large doors of the apparatus room will soon have to be replaced and we recommend that over head doors be used.
We feel that if Engine 3, the White Combination, could be replaced with a more powerful and faster machine, equipped with a 150 gal. capacity booster pump and a 200 gal. tank, the efficiency of the Department would be greatly increased, as this machine would be used for brush, woods and grass fires, as well as answering other alarms, as it would be a lighter machine and more adapted to that kind of work. We figure a machine of this kind with the necessary equipment could be purchesed for a sum not exceeding $2,000.00.
There will be an article in the Town Meeting Warrant providing for action in this matter.
Respectfully submitted, EDWARD H. SMITH SAMUEL W. ATHERLEY LIONEL SHEPPARD

IPSWICH BEACH COMMITTEE REPORT
To the citizens of Ipswich:
In publishing the Annual Beach Report, the committee have always tried to give the citizens of Ipswich a fair and hon- est picture of the beach situation. As we have said in former reports, the ownership of the so-called Crane's Beach has always been a question in the minds of the Town and the Crane family and in order to be fair in the matter, neither side has ever re- linquished any rights that they might have in making any agree- ment pertaining to the use of the beach. It should be under- stood, however, that the rights on the part of the town relative to the beach does not apply to the cranberry bog owned by the Cranes and loaned to the committee for the use of a parking area. The beach and the parking area are two different parcels of land, relative to claimed ownership and should be considered as such.
It has been said by some that a charge of twenty-five and fifty cents has been collected for persons using the beach, but that is not so. The use of the beach is absolutely free, no charge whatsoever to anybody, provided that they do not use the park- ing area. To the townspeople who do park, a fee of twenty-five cents is charged for Sundays and holidays only. It has also been stated by some that Ipswich people should have free parking at all times and the committee has given that proposition a lot of thought and consideration, but owing to the fact that Sunday is the only day in the week that the committee can realize any real profit and as the expense of maintaining the beach is great- er every year and that the vast number of out-of-town people who come to the beach Sundays are very willing to pay a fifty
77
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
cent parking fee, the majority of the committee feel that twenty- five cents to in-town people is not creating any hardship.
The committee has considerable money on hand as you will see in the annual report, but this coming year much of it will have to be spent on improvements. The toilet conditions on the beach are very poor and an endeavor is to be made to in- stall flush closets which will mean a very expensive undertaking. The parking area, being a bog, has sunk considerably and the job of regraveling and draining is going to be another very expensive proposition. The board walk has been laid for four years and new planks and whole new sections will have to be replaced and built. Additional bath houses will have to be erected and some provision will have to be made to cart all rubbish from the beach to a suitable dumping place, and all of this expense must be borne by the revenue obtained at the parking area.
In our opinion, it would be poor economy to fill up the parking area with free parking, thereby reducing the income and then be forced to ask for money by taxation to make the needed improvements.
We believe that the beach activities should be self-support- ing and that anything which will tend to prevent them from be- ing so, no matter how well intended, is a move in the wrong di- rection.
The receipts for parking for the past four years have been as follows:
Year of 1934 $2,770.25
Year of 1935 4,601.75
Year of 1936 6,126.75
Year of 1937 7943.75
All of the bills for improvements, police, and other ex- penses connected with the development of the past four years have been paid from the receipts of the Committee, no money

having been appropriated or expended from the tax money for any of these purposes.

Treasurer.
Chief of Police, William E. Garrett, who is a member of our Committee, was again designated by the Committee to be its active representative in charge at the beach. As stated last year, we have a feeling that the man to have charge in that lo- cality needs all the authority which can be given him and by virtue of his office the Chief of Police has such authority. With a large assembly of people at the beach on many of the days throughout the year difficult situations might well arise which would call for all the power and force of the law. The Chief and his officers have been vigilant and painstaking to prevent any unfavorable situation arising and to maintain order. This opinion comes to us not only from observation but by report from our townspeople and a very large number of people from out of town who enjoy coming to Ipswich Beach and give as one of the chief causes of enjoyment that they feel the manage- ment under our agent is of the best and has resulted for the best interest of all.
As in previous years, all receipts have been deposited in the First National Bank of Ipswich and payments have been made by check. All checks have been signed by the Treasurer and countersigned by either the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Committee. All bills, cancelled checks, and other papers per-
80
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
taining to the work of the Committee and the Treasurer are in the hands of the Secretary and Treasurer and are open for in- spection and the accounts have been audited by the town audi- tor.
One year ago, by vote of the majority of the Committee, $1000.00 was given from the receipts to the Hospital. This year a majority of the Committee voted to give $1000.00 to the Hospital and also $1000.00 to the Building Fund of the Ips- wich Public Library, which of course reduces the cash balance shown in the table by $2000.00.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF TOWN COUNSEL
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The following is the report of the Town Counsel for the year 1937:
The following actions against the Town were pending at the beginning of the year 1937:
1. Trustees under the Will of A. B. Clark vs Town of Ipswich. This is a suit for damages in an action of contract alleging that the Town owes the Plaintiff $1800. for 9,000 yards of gravel and filling @ 20c a yard, the same claimed to have been taken and used on the new road to Little Neck. This case is now pending in the Superior Court awaiting trial, no action having been taken during the year 1937.
2. John Markos vs Town of Ipswich. This is a suit for damages brought by the Plaintiff for injuries alleged to have been received on account of a defective condition of Brownville Avenue. The adamnum claimed in the Writ is $4,000. This action was begun in October, 1936 and is still pending in the Superior Court.
3. Alexander Skowronek vs Town of Ipswich. This was a suit in which the adamnum was alleged to be $5,000. brought by the Plaintiff on account of injuries received by his wife from what was claimed to be a defect in the sidewalk on Washington Street. The action was begun in May, 1935 and was still un- tried at the end of 1937 but during the month of January, 1938 the suit was dismissed by agreement.
4. Kazimiera Skowronek vs Town of Ipswich. This was a suit brought in May, 1935 against the Town for alleged defect in the sidewalk on Washington St. The damages alleged in the
82
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
Bill were $5,000. This suit was untried at the end of 1937 but during the month of January an Agreement for Judgment in favor of the Plaintiff for the amount of $300., without costs, was made and the suit adjusted.
During the year 1937 the following actions were begun against the Town.
1. Helen Pappas of Lynn vs Town of Ipswich. Damages claimed in the Bill, $10,000. Plaintiff claims injuries received at Ipswich Beach. This suit is pending in the Superior Court.
2. George Karalias et al vs Town of Ipswich. This is a petition to the Superior Court under which the Plaintiffs allege that the change in grade of the sidewalk in front of their prop- erty on South Main Street resulted in damage to their property and praying that the Court may appoint a jury to assess the damage. This matter is still before the Court.
3. City of Boston vs Town of Ipswich. This is a suit alleging that the Welfare Department of the town owes the city of Boston $7139.87 for certain welfare cases, some of which date back to 1916 but most of which are between 1930 and 1936. The Welfare Department of Ipswich has counter claims against Boston for the same periods and in addition to that has made denial of settlement covering a very large amount of the Boston claim. Negotiations are going on between the City Counsel and the Town Counsel looking to an adjustment of all the claims on both sides.
During the year 1937 I have prosecuted sixteen cases for the Police Dept. in the District Court. Twenty-six written opinions have also been given to the various town Boards dur- ing the year as well as many oral opinions of which no records have been kept as to the number but which would average, in my opinion, at least one a day. I have also attended a number of hearings at the State House, representing the Town.
83
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
When the new automobile rates were announced by the State for the year 1938 it was found that Ipswich automobile owners would have to pay under those announced rates an aver- age of about $4.00 each more than in the previous year. By direction of the Selectmen, I made a complete investigation of the facts and figures upon which those rates were based and later, in behalf of the town, presented the facts before the Licen- sing Board and filed a brief setting forth the town's claim to a reduction. As a result, the Board acknowledged the justice of our claims and the 1938 rates were reduced, resulting in a sav- ing of approximately $4.000. to the automobile owners of Ips- wich. Ipswich was one of the few towns to get that considera- tion.
In addition to the work outlined above, there has been a large number of legal papers such as deeds, leases, lay-out of streets, contracts, etc. which have been referred to me by the various Boards for preparation.
The year 1937 has been a very busy year for the Town Counsel in connection with town work. Many matters coming before me have required in some cases hours of study and inves- tigation. In most of these matters it has been necessary to have more or less consultation with the various town Boards and of- ficials. They have always been willing to cooperate and furnish information on their departments and I desire to thank them all for the many courtesies shown me during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
