IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


Report of The Trustees of Memorial Building


To the Citizens of Ipswich :


The building has been operated during the year within the appropriation made at the annual meeting in 1945. The financial statement will be found in the report of the Town Accountant.


A few emergency repairs were made on the heating system which has been in continuous use since the con- struction of the building.


The building has been used to a greater extent the past year by the regular tenants and for veterans' activities. The room formally used by the G. A. R. has been given over to the advisory committee for conferences with and advice to veterans.


We granted the use of the hall and other facilities to the newly organized Post of Veterans of Foreign Wars for their weekly meeting.


During the year 1946 the interior of the building should be repaired and redecorated. The building was in excellent condition before the war. As an emergency measure it was used by the army and as a result the interior of the entire building needs redecorating.


The woodwork of the exterior should be painted and a few repairs should be made on the exterior.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


FIFTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT OF THE WATER AND ELECTRIC LIGHT COMMISSIONERS FOR THE YEAR 1945


To the Citizens of Ipswich :


We respectfully submit the annual report for the year 1945 as follows:


Resume of the Water Supply System of the Town of Ipswich Constructed in the Year 1894


The water supply system for the Town of Ipswich was started in the year 1894 and the original storage supply was at Dow's Brook basin with a capacity of 55,000,000 gallons of water and the engineers reported at that time that as the Town grew, an additional supply would have to be obtained, perhaps from Bull Brook. The report at that time (1895) also stated that if this was done, the water should be filtered on account of the color and vegetable growths in this area.


During the year 1900 the consumers of water in Ip- swich according to the Water Commissioners' report for that year were not satisfied with the unpleasant tastes and odors in the water and the storage basin was drained and cleaned but nothing was found in the bottom of the basin to cause this condition and an engineer was employed to study the matter together with the State Department of Public Health and their recommendations were that a filter should be installed.


6


IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


In the year 1904 the Water Commissioners of the Town asked the advice of the State Board of Public Health in relation to the water supply of the Town and were noti- fied as follows:


"The State Board of Health in accordance with your request as to improving the quality of water which has been affected at times by disagreeable tastes and odors, has ex- amined the condition of the basin and made experiments during the last three years with experimental filters.


The objectionable tastes and odor of this water were probably caused largely by the organisms which grow in abundance on the bottom and sides of a shallow reservoir and microscopic organisms sustained in the water. During the time that these experiments have been continued the objectionable odor has been less noticeable than in previous years except in the early part of 1903 when the water had an offensive fishy and oily odor due to the presence of the organism Uroglena in great numbers. Your attention was called by this Board in 1896 to the great danger to the health of the people of the Town by the pollution of the water of the basin and its tributaries by sewerage and waste from the large number of dwelling houses and other build- ings along its northeasterly side.


It will be very difficult to prevent wholly the pollution of the basin from these buildings but by filtering the water of the basin it will be practicable not only to greatly im- prove its quality and remove disagreeable tastes and odors by which it is now at times affected."


(Signed) By Order of the Board
