IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
Selectmen's Report
To the Citizens of Ipswich :
During the year the Board of Selectmen has at all times tried to solve matters coming before them in the in- terest of the Town at large. All departments coming under the jurisdiction of the Board have been operated as economi- cally as possible without impairing public service. All department heads over which the Selectmen have control have filed their individual reports and they have been ap- proved by the Board of Selectmen and will be found in this, the Annual Report. The Board is quite satisfied with the manner in which these departments have been operated and are pleased with the cooperation given by the department heads in keeping expenditures at a minimum.
The Board has represented the Town at all hearings and meetings held for the purpose of discussing matters pertaining to public interest. The Board and counsel ap- peared before the Public Utilities Commission on the petition of the Boston and Maine Railroad to change the present. grade crossing protection and made very stenuous objections to any changes in the present crossing protection.
As a result of a request from the Board of Selectmen the Eastern Massachusetts Railway Company has estab- lished bus service from Ipswich to Beverly and Salem. It is quite evident that the establishment of this service meets with the approval of the citizens of Ipswich due to the fact that the Board of Selectmen has received many favorable comments on their efforts to have this service established.
58
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
At the last Annual Town Meeting appropriations were made for the purchase of a new Walters Snow Fighter and a Junior Aerial Ladder. Contracts were made for the pur- chase of the same and deliveries are expected during the year 1947. The delivery of this equipment has been held up by conditions over which the Board of Selectmen have no control.
The new Snow-Loader for the Highway Department was delivered in time to take care of snow removal during the winter months and so many favorable comments have been made regarding the manner in which this piece of equipment takes care of the removal of snow, that we feel that the citizens are quite satisfied with the purchase of this machine.
The new Road Roller was delivered to the Town in August and will be quite an asset to the Highway Depart- ment due to the fact that it will be used on Chapter 90 Construction and the construction of North Ridge Road and other construction projects carried on by the Highway De- partment.
Due to the fact that a new lay-out was required on Topsfield Road and a new survey and engineering plans prepared no work has been started on Chapter 90 Construc- tion on this road. It was not until the last day of December that a contract for this work was received from the Depart- ment of Public Works. It is expected that work will start at the earliest possible time in the spring and improvements will be made to this road. Another Chapter 90 allotment has been made to the Town of Ipswich for construction on this road and if the Town Meeting votes to accept this allotment and make an appropriation to match it that it will go a long way towards the completion of Topsfield Road.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
At the Annual Town Meeting the Board recommended that an amount of one thousand dollars be appropriated to be used in conjunction with any funds that might be allotted by the Division of Marine Fisheries for the extermination of shell fish enemies. After several conferences with the officials of this department, the Chairman of the Board was successfull in securing an allotment of five hundred dollars and work was started in removing muscles from the most important clam beds. This work has been supervised by the Clam Commissioner under the direction of the Division of Marine Fisheries and the results are quite satisfactory. An attempt has been made by the Chairman to secure addi- tional funds from the Division of Marine Fisheries to carry on this work, and at the present time work is continuing under the town appropriation for the extermination of shell- fish enemies. We recommend that this project be continued and that any monies appropriated should not be tied up with state funds in any way that would interfere with the con- tinuation of this work.
Construction plans are being prepared for some con- struction work on North Ridge Road and it is expected that this work will be started in the spring. No work could have been done on this road in 1946 due to the difficulty in securing materials and equipment.
The Board of Selectmen have caused to be inserted in the Warrant for the Annual Town Meeting an article calling for the purchase of a bull dozer. A large amount of work is done by this kind of equipment on road work and construction and due to the fact that it is very difficult to secure the rental of this equipment and the present day cost of rental is so high that it would be a wise investment for the town to make over a period of ten years.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
As a result of a vote of the Town, purchase was made of the Phillips property on County Road and construction was started for temporary homes for veterans and their families under the Federal Housing Authority. The site was graded and a street laid out, and a sewer system in- stalled. Electric Lights and Water was provided by the Water and Light Department and gas by the North Shore Gas Company. Due to conditions over which the Board of Selectmen have no control these houses will not be ready for occupancy until some time in April. The construction of these houses was delayed due to the inability of the con- tractor to secure the proper materials and equipment due to present time shortages. Winter set in before finished grading could be completed and conditions are such that it would be impossible for people to live in them until this work can be completed. We have at the present time about one hundred applications for these houses and they will be allocated on the basis of the most deserving cases. We wish to bring to your attention at this time the seriousness on housing shortage in the Town of Ipswich especially for our returned veterans who are living under conditions that are not only serious but unhealthy in many respects. We have caused to be inserted in the Warrant an article calling for some action in regard to this problem which most certainly is the number one problem upon which some action should be taken at once. This problem calls for very careful and serious consideration by a committee of qualified persons who are willing to put a great deal of time and effort study- ing the best possible way for the town of Ipswich to solve the housing problem.
We are of the opinion that parking and traffic con- ditions are such at the present time that this question merits very careful and serious consideration by the citizens of Ipswich. We are requesting that a committee be appointed

to study and make recommendations so that some imme- diate action can be taken by the Town to solve this problem.

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 1946 is herewith submitted.
Cash Balance, January 1, 1946 $253,260.28 Receipts 733,715.48
$986,975.76 685,675.45
Expenditures
Cash Balance, December 31, 1946
$301,300.31
Detailed reports of all financial transactions of the town for the year may be found in the tables in the report sub- mitted by the Town Accountant. In view of the fact that another year has passed during which it was not necessary to borrow any money in anticipation of revenue, no effort was made to determine the Town's borrowing capacity for borrowing on temporary notes.
That the cash balance as shown above will not be mis- leading, it includes the depreciation fund, construction fund, and cash balances of the Electric Light and Water Depart- ments amounting to $216,245.18.
A departmental equipment loan of $20,000.00 was added to the general debt outstanding. Notes were issued payable $4,000.00 thereof on August 1st in each of the years 1947 to 1951 inclusive at 1% interest. This loan was authorized by the following articles :

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
May I call your attention to the improvement of the Tax Title account. Although $955.87 was added to the Tax Title account, there was $1385.91 redeemed, leaving the balance of the account as of December 31, 1946 $430.04 less than the balance of the account as of December 31, 1945.
I would also like to call to your attention the reduction of the total of outstanding taxes at the end of 1946. Reference to the annual report for 1945 will disclose that out of $254,523.87 total taxes to be collected, there was $26,345.62 outstanding. Although the total taxes to be collected during 1946 rose to $304,577.61, the outstanding balance on December 31, 1946 was only $24,221.38. In other words, although the total taxes to be collected during 1946 were nearly 20% greater than the 1945 taxes, the outstand- ing taxes at the end of 1946 were nearly 10% less.
A notable improvement was made in the outstanding . Real Estate and Personal Property Taxes. At the end of 1945, there was $3,782.26 outstanding for 1944 Real Estate Taxes. At the end of 1946, there was only $187.40 out- standing for 1945 Real Estate. At the end of 1945, there was $609.71 outstanding for 1944 Personal Property Taxes. At the end of 1946, there was only $16.38 outstanding for the 1945 Personal Property Taxes.
The record for our Electric Light Department over the last ten years has been very creditable. Total commit- ments have increased from $106,000.00 in 1937 to $154,000.00 in 1946. The larger portion of this increase has been due to the Domestic commitments which have risen steadily from $40,000.00 in 1937 to $68,000.00 in 1946.
In general, the Town is in very good financial condition and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the towns-

people whose prompt payment of taxes has made possible the reduction of outstanding taxes, and eliminated the necessity of borrowing funds in anticipation of tax revenue.
