An audit of the accounts of the Town is being conducted by the State Examiners and we feel at this time that the audit will be completed in time to be inserted in the Town Report.
During the year work has been carried on under Chapter 90 Maintenance and Construction. Some new construction was completed on Topsfield Road and Linebrook Road received a resurfacing of Tarvia and peastone at various locations where it was most needed. This work was carried out under the supervision of the Engineer from the Department of Public Works, in cooperation with the Superintendent of Streets. We regret that no money will be available for Chapter 90 Con- struction during the year 1942. The Board feels that the condition of the roads coming under the category of Chapter 90 Construction are in fairly good condition; therefore, we make no request for Chapter 90 Maintenance funds during 1942.
An article will appear in the warrant for the Annual Town Meeting requesting some action to be taken in regard to the condition of Labor-in-Vain Road Bridge. For the past two years, the Board of Selectmen have called to the attention
170
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
of the citizens the condition of this bridge and we feel that some work will have to be done on it this year. The Chairman of the Board has had plans prepared and has contacted the Department of Bridges on this matter, and we hope to have some information and figures available to place before the citizens at the Town Meeting.
Your Board wishes to call your attention to the increased activities in the Town Hall. Demands are being made each year for additional space in the building by various organiza- tions and departments. Your Board has allocated the Select- men's Room to the Board of Assessors and their office will be occupied by the Board of Health who have long wanted quarters of their own. The Board of Selectmen will hold its regular meetings in the Accountant's office and all hearings to be conducted by the Board will be held in the Court Room. The Board feels that some work should be done this year in the office occupied by the Town Treasurer. The set-up in this office is entirely unsatisfactory at the present time to carry on the business of that office in an efficient and businesslike way. Due to the fact that the Budget for the Town Hall includes only enough money for ordinary repairs, we are inserting a special article in the warrant asking for an appropriation to make changes in this office and to take care of expenses required by the moving of the Assessors and the Board of Health.
Inasmuch as some of the offices of the Town Hall will be used evenings and in view of the fact that many of the heads of the various Civilian Defense Committees will be using the Hall and some of the offices, it will be necessary to make arrangements to black out the building. In a building of this size, this is apt to cost a considerable amount which cannot be taken out of the limited Town Hall appropriation.
During the year your Board appointed J. Perry Smith, Jr. to head and organize a Civilian Defense Committee in this
171
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
town. This is an important assignment and one that carries a great deal of responsibility. While no one is in a position at the present time to know just what will be required to supply and equip such an organization, we must all face the fact that it will become necessary to make sizable appropriations to carry on the work of this organization. When we read and hear of events happening in other parts of the world, where countless thousands of lives are being lost and millions of dollars worth of property is being destroyed through neglect to provide for adequate protection when warned by competent persons who were in a position to know that their recommenda- tions were right, let us not place ourselves in the position where we are going to measure the protection and safety of our citizens and their property in dollars and cents. The men and women who comprise our Civilian Defense organization are giving their time and their efforts so that an efficient organiza- tion will be set up for the protection of our town in case of trouble, and it is the duty and obligation of the citizens to ap- propriate a sufficient sum of money to provide for the proper equipment to carry on their work. The Board of Selectmen have ordered all department heads to cooperate with the Civilian Defense organization and to place all of their equip- ment at its disposal if and when needed, and we appeal to every citizen in the Town to cooperate with this organization.

1941
Simplicity of life, dignity of manner, kindness to all about him; these are the things by which Charles M. Kelly will be remembered. Through his long career he was the good citizen of Ipswich, not the goodness which carries with it any self- consciousness but the conviction that living carries with it responsibilities to family, to Church, to civic life and to chosen profession; responsibilities which carry wth them the sacrifice of time, of energy and the expenditure of endless patience.

IPSWICH TO'VN REPORT
He was for many years a valued member of the Town's Finance Committee, one of the most important group of town officials.
All these things Charles M. Kelly fulfilled in his genera- tion. As Cashier, Vice President and Member of the Board of Directors of the First National Bank of Ipswich he came into personal contact with all sections of the town. Through these contacts men learned that banking could be more than a com- merce in money, for quietly and with no direct reference these transactions of money and banking took on with them the conviction of honour, dignity, trust and mutual confidence.
Not because of his position in the First National Bank but for what he brought to that position and made it, the late Charles M. Kelly over a long period of years became a sort of custodian of all good causes in the town. If any, seeking for the common good, wished to raise funds or solicit contributions the first and decisive question would always be if Mr. Kelly would act as Treasurer. Once his approval was given and con- sent obtained the battle was more than half-won for every citizen of the Town knew that any organization or cause which obtained his services was sound and good.
And so he spent the long years of his life in the service of others. We of Ipswich accepted him almost as a habit and took his time and energy for granted.
It was only when death took him from among us that we fully realized how much of time, of patience and devotion had been given to others through him.
In a way death has not taken him from us for his good works ,and the things he helped to build and to preserve still have and will continue to have something about them, some- thing as delicate as a long perfume, which is the imprint of his personality.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
The secret of his personality is a simple secret, but simple things are the hardest to capture in words. Perhaps it best can be stated in the phrase, Christian Gentleman. The core of his inner life was complete devotion to his Church and family and from the inspiration of these associations he radiated a strength, peace and calm in a hundred ways through his long and useful career.
To his family the sympathy of the entire community at their loss goes out and continues to go out. Their loss is a personal one and so also in another way and equally so is his loss to the town.
To men of the fine attainments of Charles M. Kelly eternal living is doubly given. He lives, we know, forever in that realm of being to which his whole life moved in preparation and he lives among us in cherished memories, eternal both.
