Sewing Project
The Sewing Project has been carried out during the past
106
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
year with the same degree of efficiency as in years past. Excep- tionally fine work has been turned out by the workers of this project under the supervision of Mrs. Arey. Mrs. Arey is en- titled to much credit for the excellent manner in which she has administered duties assigned to her.
Highland Cemetery
A project for the improvement of the Highland Cemetery was inaugurated during the past year. This project included drainage of the avenues and the installation of gravel drives where necessary. Other work along these lines will be carried on during the spring of 1939 under the same project. The Ad- ministrator has in mind another project for the Highland Cem- etery during the current year.
Green Crab and Reseeding Project
The shell fish industry, being one of the most important industries in the community, has received during the year 1938 the consideration which the Administrator deemed advisable. The Administrator believes that this is an industry which should be encouraged and brought back to its proper place. Having this in mind, a project was instituted for the combat- ting of the green crab menace and the reseeding of depleted flats. Much work was accomplished during the year 1938 and work is now in progress along these lines. The Administrator hopes and expects during the coming spring to have considerable work performed in the transplanting of seed clams to barren flats and the removal of muscles. The Administrator considers that work of this nature is of great constructive value.
Moth Project
At the present time a Moth Project is in operation. The Administrator considers that the extermination of moth is very important. For many years moths have been making inroads on our valuable shade trees and efforts must be made to relieve
107
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
the situation. Those engaged in the Moth Project are doing exceptionally fine work and the Administrator takes this oppor- tunity of commending them for their efforts. Further Moth Work will be carried on until the coming summer months.
Shade Tree Census Project
About six months ago a project was started for the pur- pose of taking a census of all shade trees. The work on this project is about one-half completed and an additional project has been prepared and presented for approval.
Cemetery Survey Project
At present a survey is being made of all town owned cem- eteries and maps prepared.
Recreational Project
Last summer the Administrator considered it advisable to inaugurate a Recreational Project. This project has worked out very successfully. Instructors have been provided and, under their direction, the children of the town have engaged in various activities, including dancing and sports of all kinds. Much in- terest in this project has been displayed by the children and par- ents. Favorable comment has been made from time to time on the Recreational Project by the W. P. A. officials from the Salem and Boston offices and from the Federal Supervisors of this pro- ject.
The Director, Charles Lampson, has proved to be very efficient in this line of work.
Dancing classes are conducted at Eagles Hall and the Line- brook Playground under the supervision of Paul Reddy, assisted by Miss Phyllis Chisholm. Exceptionally fine work has been accomplished by these two people and this activity has attracted a large following.
108
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
Art classes have been conducted under the supervision of Mr. Pierce Johnson who reports that exceptionally fine work has been accomplished by his pupils. An exhibition of their work will probably be held in the spring.
Sewing classes at the Burley School under the direction of Mrs. Lucy Foster have been carried on and much interest dis- played by those taking part in this work.
Baseball, football and other games have been carried on at the Linebrook Playgrounds under the supervision of Charles Lampson and Roy Scott.
Swimming instruction has also been given. Recently bas- ketball games have been started at the Town Hall under this project.
The Administrator desires to report that it will be exceed- ingly difficult from now on to ascertain the Federal Govern- ment's intention as to W. P. A. and for this reason the prepara- tion of a detailed budget for the following year is practically impossible. He suggests that at the Annual Town Meeting in March, a lump sum equal to the amount appropriated last year, be appropriated; that this sum be placed under the supervision of the Finance Committee, and that from time to time as projects are devised, the Selectmen, or Administrator, submit to the Fi- nance Committee for their approval such projects then under consideration and that if they are acceptable to the Finance Com- mittee they then be submitted to the Federal Government for ap- proval. This suggestion is made in view of the fact that at the last Annual Town Meeting procedure somewhat along these lines was discussed.
At present there are about 176 persons working on the W. P. A. with an average weekly payroll of $2500. During the year 1938 the town received from the Federal Government ap- proximately $125,000, and a report of the expenditures has been filed with the Town Accountant and will be published in the Annual Town Report. A detailed report of all expend-
109
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
itures made by the administrator has been prepared and filed with the Town Accountant and is available for public inspec- tion. Any information in addition thereto desired by any cit- izen of the town will be gladly provided by the Administrator, who is, and has been, willing at all times to discuss with cit- izens questions arising under the W. P. A. and would welcome constructive suggestions at any time.
Respectfully submitted,
BRAINARD C. WALLACE,
Sponsor's Agent.
