In order to do this, there would have to be installed a 700 gallon tank and a motor to boost the pressure for same. The cost of so doing would be about $2900, which we plan to transfer from the Cemetery Lot Fund, rather than have same come out of the tax rate.
We hope to improve the looks of the drive up to the High- land Cemetery. Last year we planted a few shrubs at the entrance, and mowed around the office building. We intend to do more such work each year.
The soil in the old section of the cemetery is badly in need of lime and fertilizer. We have therefore included in our budget a sum to cover such material.
We wish to thank each and all departments who have in any way assisted us in the past year.
Respectfully submitted, HARMON COLE

WATER DEPARTMENT
FIFTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE WATER AND ELECTRIC LIGHT COMMISSIONERS FOR THE YEAR 1949
To the Citizens of Ipswich:
We respectfully submit the annual report for the year 1949 as follows:
Water Supply
The amount of water that could be supplied by the various supply sources was given a thorough testing during the year on account of the long drought that occurred. The main reser- voir (Dows Brook) was practically exhausted in the middle of the month of July, as well as the auxiliary reservoir at Bull Brook.
The gravel packed well on High Street was operated in conjunction with the well on Mile Lane to supply all the water consumed in the Town from July until the end of the year and the following table shows that the amount of water pumped has increased 62 per cent in eight years.

WATER DEPARTMENT
The department was forced to limit the use of water for lawn sprinkling, etc., for a few weeks during the height of the drought because the two well pumps could not supply all the water demanded at that time, although at no time was there a shortage of water especially in the larger well on High Street.
During the month of June, 21,948,100 gallons of water were pumped, 24,355,600 gallons in July and 25,083,400 gallons in August. In normal years 15 or 16 million gallons have been the average amounts used at this same time of year.
New Extensions to Main Pipe System
The extension on Upper River Road off County Road was completed for a distance of 1600 feet, one on Paradise Road of 1500 feet, one of 2559 feet from Argilla Road to the Crane Beach Reservation, and one to service the new Veterans' Housing project on County Road.
New Service Connections
Sixty new buried water services were installed, 7 new summer services, and 4 old summer services were buried below frost depth. There were also 33 summer services connected to the system on private property and installed by private owners.

Generating Plant
A new 1600 horsepower Fairbanks-Morse diesel generating unit was put in operation in February of 1949. It has been operating since then and has been of extreme value because without it the Plant could not have carried the additional de- mand that reached its peak in December with a total station load of 2400 kilowatts. where as the total station capacity is 3200 kilowatts. The station output for the year was about 9 million kilowatt hours, an increase of 7 per cent over the pre- vious year.
Outside Plant
With the addition of so many electrical appliances, espe- cially water heaters, ranges and television sets, the transmission system as a whole will have to be enlarged as well as will the distribution system. Plans have been made to proceed with this work as soon as possible in the spring. It is estimated that at least $35,000 will have to be expended on this job.
There are now 2727 meters connected, which is an increase of 112 over the previous year.

IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
To the Citizens of the Town of Ipswich:
The following statement of the Superintendent of Schools, together with the appended data, constitutes the report of the School Committee of Ipswich for the fiscal year ending Decem- ber 31, 1949:
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Committee of the Town of Ipswich,
Madam and Gentlemen:
I am pleased to present the annual report on the schools of Ipswich for the fiscal year 1949.
For the permanent record I should like first to note the changes in personnel which have occurred since the last annual report was submitted:
Changes in Personnel
As of August, 1949, Augusta A. Grenache resigned in order to retire. For more than half of her forty-five years of service to the Ipswich schools, Mrs. Grenache has been prin- cipal of the Shatswell School. Always modern in outlook, well- read in the theory of elementary education, an active partici- pant in state and regional organizations for the promotion of elementary education, Mrs. Grenache succeeded, through native graciousness and tact, in spreading among her co-workers kin- dred enthusiasms. Together they were instrumental in making the school a real neighborhood institution.
Others who did not return to teaching in the school in September were Cecilia Z. Mackenzie, who had taught at the Burley School; Joseph V. Riley, who had served two years as instructor of graphic arts and mechanical drawing at the High School; and Rose Naves, who had served two years as School Nurse.
