IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
Report of the Town Treasurer
To the Citizens of the Town of Ipswich:
The report of the Town Treasurer for the year 1943 is herewith submitted.
Cash Balance, January 1, 1943 $ 72,556.66
Receipts
684,577.19
Expenditures
$657,133.85 557,639.92
Cash Balance, December 31, 1943 $179,493.93
Detailed reports of all financial transactions of the Town for the year may be found in the tables in the report of the Town Accountant.
This year no money was borrowed in anticipation of revenue. I believe this is the first year, in the last forty or fifty years. that the Town was able to go through the year without borrowing money. In view of this fact. no effort was made to determine the Town's borrowing capacity for borrowing on temporary notes.
One note in the amount of $1,000.00 was borrowed in anticipation of reimbursement. This note was borrowed un- der Section 6A, Chapter 44, in connection with work done under Chapter 90. Reimbursement was received from the State before the end of the year so that this note has been paid.
There is an article in the Warrant this year requesting in the future that this money be transferred from Surplus Re- venue and I strongly recommend the acceptance of this article.
The Town has received 5 decrees from the Land Court covering 21 parcels of land. These have all been sold with the exception of 2 parcels; one, the Town kept for its own benefit, the other parcel the decree was received just before the end of the year.
In view of the fact that I have been inducted into military service and will report for active duty at once, I beg your indulgence to briefly summarize my term of office from November 1, 1941 to De- cember 31. 1943.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
I would first call your attention to the condition of the outstanding uncollected taxes. This is the first year in the history of the Town that uncollected taxes are practically on a one year basis. There are $248.71 of uncollected 1942 Personal Pro- perty Taxes. All other taxes, moth and water assessments prior to the year 1943 have been collected. Substantial proof of the excellent financial condition of the Town from the viewpoint of tax collections is the fact that although all taxes prior to 1943 were collected the tax titles held by the Town have dropped more than 50 percent. On December 31, 1941 the Town had a cash balance of $67,316.14 and owed $100,000.00 in temp- orary notes. On December 31, 1943 the cash balance was $179,493.93 and there were no temporary notes due.
There is an article in the warrant this year to invest part of this balance in bonds for post war work, and I strongly recommend that favorable action be taken in regard to this article.
I would call your attention to the growth in the Electric Light Department. Reference to the table will show the increase in commitments and collections; and, in spite of this fact, the uncollected accounts have been reduced 50 percent. Practically $40,000.00 has been added to the Depreciation Account during my term of office and, at the same time, the Cash Balance has increased from $8,000.00 to $32,000.00.
The Water Department tables show the improvement made in the collections. Outstanding accounts have been reduced 50 percent, while the cash balance over the same period has in- creased from $7,065.18 to $14,559.96.
During my term in office I have on several occasions discussed the question with the Finance Committee of the salary that should be paid to the Treasurer and Collector, contingent upon conditions I outline below. I am listing below a schedule

In this table I have taken the five towns larger than Ipswich and the five towns smaller than Ipswich in population for comparative figures. I am of the belief that the Treasurer and Collector for the Town of Ipswich is grossly underpaid. In so far as I have been able to determine, none of the above collectors have any electric light or water to collect. The water and light receipts in Ipswich for the year 1943 amounted to nearly $185,000.00.
I am further of the opinion that some method should be worked out in regard to establishing a starting salary with increases given from year to year, provided that the reports show that the collector has earned the right to receive additional salary. No man when first assuming office has the right to expect to receive the amount of salary that is being paid to the man who
119
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
has spent some time on the job and is familiar with its duties.
In conclusion, may I express my sincere appreciation for the splendid cooperation accorded me by the Town and State officials and the Townspeople. I wish especially to publicly thank Miss Gladys Poole for her untiring efforts in the office of the Treasurer and Collector. For twenty years Miss Poole's guidance to the men taking over the office of Collector and Treasurer has been of inestimable value. These officials alone have been in a position to fully appreciate the grasp Miss Poole has of the wealth of detail in this office. Carrying on her work in the quiet and efficient manner that is typical of her, the general public oftentimes is completely unaware of the import attached to her duties.
Respectfully submitted,
ELWYN F. MCCARTHY
Treasurer.
