COVER PHOTOGRAPH
The delightful old drawing of Ipswich in 1867 is purported to be the work Of MissMary Jane Derby of Salem. If so, Miss* Derby returned at the age of sixty to
sketch Dr. Manning's Mill and the Choate Bridge, the very same subject that
occupied her talented brush many years before, but from a different angle andwith a very different look.
For whenMaryJane sketched the scene, as a very young girl, the "falsely fas-
cinating" horizontal windmill still adorned the old woolen mill, dominating all
of Market Square. By 1867, the first "woollen manufactory" erected with suchhigh hopes by Dr. Manning in 1793, was now the very business-like CoburnBlock; the windmill thatservedas a sort of forbidden jungle -gym by the children
of the first Baptist's and Methodist's who used the building as their place of
worship, had disappeared along with the parishoners. The tiny postoffice that
Stephen Coburn had maintained for thirty years had moved up the hill to the old
Probate Building, and Dr. Manning's unique and ambitious enterprise had beenreduced to a row of mundane stores and offices. Perhaps the more "progres-sive" merchants heaved a sigh of relief when the old building burned to the
ground in 1869, for they certainly wasted no time in immediately erecting the
present Caldwell Block.
Loomingbehind the Coburn Building is the old stone millerected by the Heard'sin 1830 as the Ipswich Manufactory Company and later absorbed by LawrenceMills. It is now the site of the Sylvania plant.
Across the old stone bridge is the shop of Mark Newman, the present Bill's
Variety Store and Saltzberg Antique Shop, while the larger building next doorenjoyed the earlier distinction of housing the law office of the young Otis P.
Lord, future Chief Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Court.
In the left background can be glimpsed the old Unitarian Church, steeple still
intact, and already known as the "old town hall." The same town hall that weknow today, but before it was moved slightly forward, enlarged, elevated and"modernised" in 1876.
Thus was Ipswich in 1867, the boys safely home from the Civil War, textile,
farming and fishing industries humming; snug, prosperous and lively. A goodplace to live in 1867 and a better place in 1967.

BOARD OF SELECTMEN
To The Townspeople of Ipswich
Annually your Board of Selectmen submits its report to inform the citizens of
Ipswich as to the general conditions of the Town and relative to the perform-ance of its duties. The Board serves, in addition to its normal duties, as
Electric, Water and Sewer Commissioners.
The year 1966 introduced two innovations to the Town. In October, the tie-in
for supplementary electric power with the Massachusetts Electric System be-came a reality. The Boardnegotiated a contract which, in addition to insuring
the Town with adequate electric power for its present and future needs, also
assures lower electric rates because of the lower cost for power to the Town.
The second innovation was the first time in its history that municipal employeeswere represented as a bargaining unit by a labor union. The Board has spent
many long meetings negotiating with the union a contract which would be palat-
able to the Town and always keeping in mind the cost to the taxpayers. At this
writing negotiations have not been completed, thus a contract has not yet beenagreed upon.
For the first time in many years the Town finds itself in a position with a net
profit in the Water Department. The Board over the past year instituted many
changes in order to put the Department on a paying basis. However, future
needs for sources of water, storage facilities, larger mains and pumping sta-
tions will be required in the near future. The Board is in the process of con-tracting a consultant for engineering studies to guide the Town in its manner of
effecting these requirements.
The extensions to the sewer system this year have been completed on CountySt. , Poplar St. , Payne St. , Kinsmans Ct. , upper Argilla Rd. , Linden St.
,
Union St. , Saltonstall St. , Estes St. , Kimball St. , River Ct. , First St. , Sec-ond St. , Peabody St. , Third St. , Fourth St. , Fifth St. , Sixth St. , Brown Sq.
and municipal parking lot. Further extensions for Market St., No. Main St.
Warren St. , Topsfield Rd. , Farley Ave. and Kimball Brook from Estes St. to
Topsfield Rd. have been authorized and it is the intention of the Board to com-plete this workbefore the end of 1967. Many requests have been received for
further sewer extensions and these will be submitted to the Town Meeting for
its consideration.
Many streets were repaired this year and a planned program is being carried
out to continue so that eachtarred road will be surfaced every five or six years.
Topsfield Rd. under Chapter 90 construction will be completed in 1967 and if
funds are remaining a portion of Linebrook Rd. will be rebuilt. Plans are be-
ing prepared to rebuild Linebrook Rd. from Washington St. to tne NewburyportTurnpike over the next four years with Chapter 90 funds.
The Board has attended many local, county and state meetings and has taken
part in attempting to keep pace with the complexities of modern governmentalways keeping in mind that which would benefit Ipswich.
The Board expresses its gratitude for the cooperation and good work done bythe Executive Secretary, Town Officers, Town Boards and Committees, its
department heads and its employees during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
BOARD OF SELECTMEN

Executive Secretary Terrance F. Perkins
This department noted the departure of Executive Secretary John C. Mongan on
13 February 1966, and from that time until my tenure commenced on June 29,
1966, the Chairman of the Board of Selectmen maintained the office in addition
to his many other duties. The cooperation of all personnel and, in particular,
the department heads of the Town was uniformly excellent so that continuity in
the many projects was not lost by the changes in administrators. That samecooperation continues and each day seems more noteworthy than the last.
A few of the more important items which required continuing attention duringthe year by this office were union elections and dealing with union officials,
summer constructionprojects, regional planning seminars for projects in whichstate and federal agencies would participate, town dump maintenance, insur-ance, street opening permits, water supply problems, and personnel changes.
At the end of the year and with the closing of the books, a careful analysis be-comes necessary to judge the effectiveness of our annual activities and plan-
ning. We noted a surplus of $92,805. 65, compared to $90, 325.48 in 1964, and$221,404. 25 in 1965. The fluctuation this year was due in part to a large num-ber of statutory "over- seventy" exemptions which was made retroactive to Janu-ary 1st, which reduced our free cash by some $44, 000 and the cutback in anti-
cipated money from the Sales Tax which fell short by some $32, 000. Even so,
this result is noteworthy and we look forward to a more stable situation next
year.
Our most pressing needs for the coming year will lie in the area of planning
and providing for an increase in our water storage capabilities and production,
to further improve our roads and sidewalks especially as a follow-up to sewerconstruction and land development, to complete sewer projects already au-thorized, and search for an acceptable solution to the problem of clean water.
This office looks forward to a great year in 1967, when many of our old prob-lems are overcome, and the town may continue with its steady, orderly growthand ever improving quality of service to its people.

LEGAL DEPARTMENT
Terrance F. Perkins, Town Counsel
This has been a very busy year in Town legal matters marked particularly bycases resulting from construction of public building and personnel problems.
Pending at the end of 1965, were six cases which were resolved in the follow-
ing manner:
1. Sewall-Smith Construction Corp. vs The Town was a case involving variouscontractors which built or worked on the new high school. The case included
claims for plumbing work, electrical workand general contracting. This caseresulted in a judgment against the Town for one phase of the electrical work,and the others were discharged. Prior to this consolidation a claim, by EssexBituminous Products was also settled for the school after further work wasrequired by the Town under the contract and without any expense to the Town.
2. Frederick Winthrop vs County Commissioners, et al. , was a case involv-
ing land damages claimed from road work on Topsfield Road. This case wasresolved and further obligations to the abutting property owner wa.s also com-pleted satisfactorily.
3. Martha Babcock vs The Town relates to claims arising from personal in-
juries allegedly due to a defective way. No action has been noted this year,
and it is still pending.
4. Salem Hospital vs The Town related to claims by the Hospital for services
rendered a Town welfare patient. This case was taken to trial but counsel for
plaintiff requested withdrawal to include further pleadings. Thus, the case
first reported in 1965 has beendismissed in favor ofanother actionby the samename. It will probably go to trial in 1967.
5. Mary E. Bishop vs The Town related to claims arising from personal in-
juries allegedly sustained from a defective way. No action occurred in 1966.
6. Penneth Clive vs The Board of Assessors were two actions for tax abate-
ments before the Appellate Tax Board in Boston. These cases went to trial,
and were resolved before the Board.
Other legal projects or cases undertaken at various times during 1966, wereas follows:
1 Southern Equipment Co. vs The Town, et al. This case resulted from con-tract claims in building the new Elementary School onLinebrook Road. It wassettled and all parties satisfied without expense to the Town and without trial.
2. Stanley Lappin vs The Town of Ipswich resulted from various acts of theBoard of Selectmen in respect to a proposed shopping center on High Street
and the filling of land under the Hatch Act, so called. This case was success-fully argued, in part, in Suffolk Superior Court, and subsequently resolvedwithout further trial.
3. Two welfare cases, one of which after trial in Third District Court wasappealed to Superior Court. Both trials and appeal were in favor of the Town's
/
position. Another case involving seven old claims has been partially resolved.
4. Meetinghouse Green is an action now entered in the Land Court in Boston,and is a claim by the petitioner to title on the Green.
5. AFL/CIO vs the Town is an action still pending before the Labor RelationsCommission inBoston and deals with alleged unfair labor practices against twoemployees of the Town.
6. Wilfred Hanson vs The Town was a case involving several hearings underCivil Service laws and which has been resolved.
7. Two criminal cases were tried at the request of the Chief of Police in the
Third District Court.
8. Representing the Town in Appeal to Superior Court of the case entitled,
Commonwealth vs Kmiec, which dealt with the enforcement of a Town by-law.

FINANCE DEPARTMENT
Accounting Division
Robert H. Leet, Finance Director and Town Accountant
The general financial records of the town are maintained in this office as well
as the accounts for the Electric, Water, and Sewer Departments. Budget con-trol reports were prepared monthly for all department heads and for other in-
terested persons. Comparative financial reports were prepared monthly for
the Electric and Water Departments. The Annual Budget, both preliminary andfinal, were prepared and distributed. Reports were prepared for the Bureauof Accounts, Banks, and other financial institutions showing the complete fi-
nancial transactions of the Town. The Town's cash balance was verified with
the Treasurer's Office. All bills were post audited before release for pay-ment. We lost a most devoted and conscientious employee when Mrs. Phyllis
Comeau passed away on December 9, 1966. We shall miss her very much.
Detailed financial statements for the Town of Ipswich for the year 1966 are set
forth in the colored pages in the back portion of this report.
Collection-Treasury Division
George C. Mourikas, Collector-Treasurer
Bills committed for collection during 1966, totaled $3, 146, 115. 15.
The following bills were typed and sent out:
Personal Property 902
Real Estate 3872
Motor Vehicle Excise 6428
Farm Animal Excise 11
Bills collected amounted to $3, 266, 180. 52. The treasurer's receipts totaled
$6,034,558.32. During the year, $665,000.00 was invested in Certificate of
Deposit. This will earn $6, 565. 29 if held until maturity.
The amount of $373, 000. 00 was paid off on maturing debt. A record of newdebt bonded amounting to $243, 500.00 was set up.
Check register balances were reconciled with bank statements. Federal andState income tax statements were made up and distributed. A record of TrustFund transactions was maintained. A schedule of receipts was rendered to the
Town Accountant monthly.
Assessing Department
Varnum S. Pedrick, Assessor
Assessments: The assessed value of property, both real and personal in the
Town of Ipswich for 1966 was $55,973,537. This was an increase of $2,440,037or over 4% above the 1965 valuation. Much of this gain represents new con-
struction and some to the increase in personal property valuation. We mustnot expect such an increase each year; however, we hope for and anticipate a
substantial gain over the above figure for 1967. We have approached many tax
exempt property owners in an attempt to obtain contributions toward public
support in lieu of taxes and pleas have been entered to the Commonwealth to
increase their annual payment to the town for State held properties. Relief in
these two areas would do much to lighten the tax burden on individual propertyowners.
This office committed 6, 428 motor vehicle excise tax bills to the Collector,
these represent a total of $254, 325.40, a gain of $16,469. 15, approximately7% over 1965.

At the present time, the Ipswich Police Department is operating with a comple-
ment of ten patrolmen, two sergeants and a chief.
Under existing conditions the shifts are staggered and overlap and, on manyoccasions, the shifts are reduced from four men to three making it necessary
for a man to work overtime in order to render proper coverage.
13
Ipswich requires full-time cruiser patrol to curb the possibility of an increase
in house breaks, acts of vandalism, etc.
I recommend for your consideration one cruiser on patrol in the outskirts andone cruiser to patrol the downtown area between the hours of 8 A. M. to mid-night; from midnight to 8 A. M. the town would be covered by one cruiser.
This type of patrol is in operation in many adjacent towns.
The cruiser in the downtown area would also respond to any ambulance calls
with the help of a member of the Fire Department when a fireman is available.
At times during the vacation period in the Fire Department, it is necessary to
man the ambulance with two members of the Police Department.
With my knowledge of existing conditions and the size of the area to be policed,
I feel that the Police Department is in need of immediate reorganization, there-fore, I recommend that a three platoon system be put in effect.
The three platoon system consisting of three eight-hour shifts would be as fol-
lows: four men on duty from 8 A. M. to 4 P. M. , four men from 4 P. M. to
midnight and three men from midnight to 8 A. M. This system would give pro-per coverage when put in effect and for some time in the future.
Due to recent court rulings, the department is in need of a full-time Inspector
to prepare court cases and to follow up on investigations. On many occasions,
it is necessary to recall an off-duty officer to cover for an officer that is out
of town on an investigation or in coUrt. It is planned to have the Inspector take
over much of this type of duty.
In order to put the reorganization plan in effect, I respectfully request that the
Board of Selectmen appoint three additional full-time police officers from the
Civil Service list if Town Meeting approval is granted.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
Russell Scahill, Chief
The following is a report of the activities of the Fire Department for the year
1966:
The department made a total of 317 runs which is one of the lowest number of
runs made in years. There were 246 still alarms and 71 bell alarms recordedfor the year. There were no real large fires.
The vehicles of the department covered approximately 17, 000 miles. A total
of 7,050 feet of 2 1/2 inch hose was laid, 3,000 feet of 1 1/2 inch hose and 4,200
feet of 1 1/8 inch hose was used during the year. A total of 558 feet of ladders
were;
raised and 120,845 gallons of water from the booster tanks on the fire
trucks was used.
A total of $28,095.77 was paid out for fire losses onbuildings valued at $211,620
and on estimated losses of $31, 781. 77 for the year 1966.
14
The fire alarm was extended up Linebrook Road to Campanelli project whichtook in half of Edge Street and half of Howe Street with a new box added at HoweStreet and a new box at the new Linebrook School. In 1967, we hope to contin-
ue with this new line up as far as the Old Right Road and also to go out HighStreet to the Rowley Line. Old lines replaced during the past year were fromOcean Drive up to the U. S. Air Force Radar Station, and from Stage Hill Rd.
to Little Neck entrance with hopes of completing this area in 1967. The reasonfor the replacement was that the wire was old iron wire which was all deterio-
rated from salt air and corrosion.
The Board of Fire Underwriters report was completed and returned to the
Board of Selectmen with recommendations for the future as to the workings of
the Fire Department and the recommendations for future water supplies.
The plans for a new substation in the Linebrook area are ready for the townmeeting action, and if accepted will be one of the recommendations made bythe underwriters in their report. I know that to follow all of their recommenda-tions will take up to ten years or more but if something is done each year, it
will help put the Town of Ipswich in a better classification. I also hope that
the Board will consider the manpower situation which I have been asking for
the past few years and especially if the new substation is accepted.
The program on the tearing down of old houses and smaller buildings beganthis past year with two old housesbeing torn down plus five other old sheds andsmaller buildings. We hope to be able to do more on this in the following year.
A lot of time was spent with the sewerage construction this past year due to
having to place fire lines on streets that were blocked off due to the digging up
of many streets especially in the Estes -Kimball Street area. This was done
to assure the people in that area of adequate fire protection at all times.
The Fire Department also continues to make inspections of the business dis-
trict and all Nursing homes and the Hospital with fire prevention becoming a
larger part of the fire department each year.
Listed below are some of the other activities of the department for the year
1966:
Assist police on ambulance 68
Bomb scares 1
Blasting permits 15
Oil Burner Inspections 95
Complaints Investigated 235
Fire Burning Permits 475
Christmas Trees Sprayed 550

RECREATION AND PARKS DEPARTMENT
James H. Daly> Director
Your Recreation Department continues to strive to provide the habitants of
Ipswich with one of the finest, year-round recreation programs in the state
while at the same time holding costs to a minimum without sacrificing quality
of leadership and a varied program that is available to all from pre- school agethrough the Golden Age Club.
At present, the department staffs and activates a well rounded program at 7
playgrounds stragetically located. They include Linebrook, Howe Park, the
Skeet Field, Father Rye, Giles Firmin, the Shatswell and Great Neck. Thelargest by far and most active is Linebrook playground where there are facili-
ties for baseball (3 diamonds), basketball and tennis alongwith the usual play-
ground equipment. Future plans call for the further development of the newaddition to include expanded parking facilities and a wading pool surrounded bya picnic area.

The new playground at Great Neck on town owned property is still under devel-
opment. The project was started last year. Hopefully the basic site develop-
ment maybe completed this year. When finished the area Will be large enoughfor a junior baseball field, possibly a tennis court and other facilities. In the
interim, town land at the beachfront in the Neck causeway area is being usedas a temporary play area for children in that district.
A large area of land known as the Skeet Field and located off Paradise Roadhas been made available for summertime recreation use by the Fish & GameClub at no cost. Some equipment has been installed, a full- sized basketball
court is nearing completion and a baseball field is being developed. At this
stage the cost to the town has been nil.
Built in facilities at the Shatswell School grounds include a basketball court
and two ball fields. All other playgrounds are amply equipped but are lookedupon as tot areas. These include Howe Park, Father Rye and Giles Firmin.
In addition to the seven active playgrounds the Recreation department carries
out an ambitious swim instruction program at Hood's Pond on a beachfront
area made available at no cost by the state department of Natural Resources.Close to 400 Ipswich children were given instruction here last summer. Thearea is set aside for the exclusive use of the Recreation Department and is e-
quipped with the most modern safety equipment.
Other supervised activity provided by the department includes ice skating at
three locations including Baker's Pond, Norman's Pond and Linebrook play-
ground. All three have lights for night skating. Still other areas that are
maintained and used when conditions permit include the Lighthouse propertyat the beach and Daniel Boone park.
Special programs offered on the fourth of July, Halloween, and school vacation
weeks have proven most popular and are heavily attended. The highly success-ful and constantly growing Golden Age Club is under the wing of the Recrea-tion Department. Warren Grant, Sr. is serving his seventh year as Presi-
dent.
During the fall and winter, special activity classes for adults are offered.
Among these are cake decorating, Christmas decorations, rug braiding, flow-
er arrangements, ballroom dancing and many others depending upon the in-
terest shown. Golf instruction classes are arranged for adults in the summertime. Basketball for men takes place two nights a week at the High Schoolgym. Similar sports programs are held in season, indoors, for both boys andgirls on Saturdays and Sundays.
Ski Clubs, organized and assisted by the Recreation Department, are active
in the Junior High and High Schools. Public service Skate Swaps are conductedin the winter time. This department also cooperates and assists, where pos-sible, with all other intown organizations and clubs.
Park Department -
Your Park Department employs one full-time maintenance man. Four or morepart-time seasonal helpers are added during the late spring, summer and ear-ly fall period. For the most part the extra employees are assigned to the re-quired constant maintenance of the Parks, playgrounds and other areas that
come under the jurisdiction of the Park Department.

Beyond the normal maintenance, several major projects were carried out dur-ing 1966, including the installation of piers and other equipment associated
with the Recreation Department's use of Hood's Pond; the continued expansionof the parking area at the beach Lighthouse property; the installation of newand used playground equipment at several locations; the development of a tem-porary playground and a start on the development of a new, permanent play
area at Great Neck; the clearing of brush and stumps at Daniel Boone Park;the installation of a basketball court at the Skeet Field playground; the instal-
lation of several new lawns and many others.
The new truck made available to the department last year along with othermechanized equipment has added greatly to the efficiency of the department'soperations and has cut job costs considerably.
During 1967, the department plans to start the development of the new addi-
tion to Linebr 00k Field; beautify the entrance to DanielBoone Park; make giant
strides on the development of a new playground at Great Neck; make a start to
improve Howe Park by the installation of water, plantings and some landscap-ing and several other lesser projects.
New home construction continues and with it comes an increased population.
Thus, it goes to follow that more and more acreage requiring beautificationand maintenance is creeping into the realm of the department causing somegrowing pains. Foremost amongst these growing pains is the need for ade-quate storage space for vehicles, equipment and supplies. Belongings of the
department are currently stored in three separate structures of questionable
construction. They include the aged, two part, wooden field house at Line-brook playground; the archaic Payne schoolhouse in Lord's Square and a tiny,
vandal beaten garage at Linebrook Field that was transferred some years agofrom the Lighthouse property at the beach.
Other growing pains of the department are being controlled by the plannedperiodic purchase of mechanized equipment that gets the job done faster better
offsetting, to a degree, the need for additional help.
Memorial Building -
Spaces in this town-owned building are being utilized by a number of recog-nized non-profit groups too numerous to mention here. Four or five meetingsand/ or activities going on at the same time on any particular evening are not
unusual. Ten different Girl Scout troops also meet here afternoons. The fa-
cility is still used at times by Veterans' organizations, mostly for installa-
tion purposes. Beyond this heavy use there are several spaces reserved for
permanent residents.
Vandalism and age combine to prompt constant care and maintenance. Thisaccelerated use of the building in the past three years has also been a factor
causing increased maintenance and security measures. Despite these factors
the building both inside and out, as well as the grounds, are in remarkablyfine shape. Built in 1921, the structure will mark its 46th birthday this year.

MARINE DEPARTMENT
Arthur Moon, Commissioner
Once again, the rivers offered thousands of boaters many pleasant hours of
summer relaxation.
Channel and speed markers were placed in Eagle Hill, Ipswich River and Cas-tle Neck River in early spring.
At the town wharf, new steel rails were put at the top of the ramp. New bar-rels under the town floats and general repairs were done.
The town boat was out on night and day patrols, assisted by the Police Patrol
boats on weekends and holidays. Thirty- one boats were stoppedfor minor vio-
lations. The town boat answered 33 calls for assistance, 11 people were takenfrom the water due to their boats overturning, 66 boats reported missing dur-
ing storms, 64 of these were recovered.
There were two fatal accidents due to drowning and three persons were report-
ed missing in the vicinity of Ipswich due to a storm.
Shellfish -
The records for 1966 indicate a good year for shellfish. There was a drop of
about 1, 100 bushels compared to the year before in clams taken. Men wereemployed removing mussels, algae and other marine life that is harmful to
shellfish.
Licenses and Permits -
141 non-resident yearly at $10.00 a year862 non-resident daily at 1. 00 a day531 resident yearly at 2. 00 a year103 resident - commercial at 15.00 a year
There was a little loss in money on the non-resident permits due to the changeof location of the permits. They were not available in early mornings or late
evenings.
About 1 1 bushels of clams were confiscated for minor violations. There wereno prosecutions.
About 14 bushels of small clams were given to the town by the State wardensto be transplanted on the flats in the town.
The clam production has dropped off all over the state. We will continue to
work on the flats to keep them up to par.
There were 30,000 fry-lobsters (1") released in Ipswich waters and also ap-proximately 1,000 lbs. of seed lobsters (large females of 12 1/2 lbs) releasedwhich were provided by the State.

The Public Assistance case load at the end of the year 1966, was as follows:
Old Age Assistance, 63; Aid to Families of Dependent Children, 15 cases, 53
recipients; Medical Assistance, 30 cases, 35 recipients; Disability Assistance,
General Relief, 2. The State and Federal governments reimburse to the Townapproximately 80 percent of the total assistance rendered in the majority of
the assistance programs. A cost of living increase of 3.49% was granted to
all recipients of Old Age Assistance, Aid to Families of Dependent Childrenand Disability Assistance effective April 1, 1966. On July 1, 1966, adjustmentswere made in payroll procedures and billing to coincide with the proceduresandpolicies as prescribed by Title XVIII, otherwise known as Medicare. Muchtime and effort was spent with those persons eligible for Medicare explaining
benefits, payments to be made, etc.
A new program, Medical Assistance, was created under Title XIX of the So-cial SecurityAct to be administered by the Welfare Department. This programwas made available to persons of any age proved to be medically indigent, andprovides funds for payment of medical expenses. Institution of this programeliminated the Medical Assistance to the Aged program.
On October 1, 1966, an amendment to the Social Security Act provided benefits
for persons over age 72. The Welfare Department was responsible for obtain-
ing these benefits for its recipients.

their cooperation.
WATER AND SEWEB DEPARTMENT
Kevin D. McElhinney, Superintendent
Water Department -
The Town's water supply, duringthe past summer, held up quite well consider-
ing the extreme drought conditions which plagued the entire Northeast region
of the country. The Water Department, at this time, would like to express our
sincere thanks to the people of Ipswich who, in the past, possessed the fore-
sight to appropriate funds to provide additional water supplies to be able to meetan emergency such as just experienced.
The outlook for 1967, is much more optimistic than that of 1966. At the pres-ent time, both Dows Basin and Bull Brook are at peak capacity. Brown's Wellhas recently been cleaned out and we fully expect that this supply will rendera much greater capacity of water this year.
During the month of January, Water Department personnel have been checking
the draw-down at all of the well sites and all indications show that the under-ground aquifiers will be fully charged within the next few weeks. Barring anyunforeseeable events, 1967, should prove to be free of major water shortage.
22
I
During 1966, the Water Department completed the following projects:
Repair and maintenance of all existing water mainsReplacement of two (2) older servicesInstallation of seventy (70) new servicesRepair of eight (8) existing servicesInstallation of 1400' of 8" transite water mainInstallation of 300 ' of 6" water mainInstallation of four (4) new hydrantsReplaced three (3) old hydrants

Discontinued five (5) servicesInstallation of 1000 feet of 1 1/4" water pipe to Treadwell's IslandMaintenance and repair of various water pumping stations, and wellsCleaning and surging of Brown's WellRepainted one hundred (100) hydrantsReplaced two (2) 6" water gates
Installed five (5) 6" water gates
Cut-in one (1) 8" gate
Relocated 100' of 10" water main - Union Street
Obtaining and having tested water samples from each supply to insure PublicHealth Standards
The total water consumption for 1966 was 335, 162,000 gallons derived as fol-
lows:
Dows Basin 152, 192,000
Brown's Well 52,350,000
Mile Lane Well 3,708,000
Winthr op Wells 126,912,000
In addition, it was necessary to pump 154, 517,700 gallons of this water frombooster stations to the high service tanks.
During 1967, the Water Department plans in addition to normal maintenance to:
Replace older mains at various locations throughout the Town
Replace older unreliable hydrants
Complete metering program
Sewer Department -
Last year, as has been the policy in the past, the Town once again made a con-siderable expansion to the existing sewer system. There were approximately8,421 feet of sewer mains added to the system. In addition, forty seven (47)
new tie-ins were made to the existing sewer. The number of tie-ins will bemuch higher in 1967 for the sewer which was constructed in 1966 is now avail-able to service more than 160 lots.
23
The Sewage Treatment Plant, periodically, is inspected by the State Public
Health Department to insure proper treatment of the Town sewage. In the last
year, there were 45, 142, 000 gallons of sewage treated. This would be an av-
erage of over 123,000 gallons per day, an increase of 15,000 gallons per dayover the 1965 totals.
The Sewer Department is maintained by one man, who working under the super-vision of the Superintendent, must maintain and operate the Sewage TreatmentPlant and Sewage Pumping Station. In addition, his position also requires himto inspect all connections to Town sewer mains to insure proper installation
and to maintain all records of such connections.
Moneyhas already been appropriated to extend sewerage in the following areas:
Kimball Avenue cross country to Topsfield Road
Topsfield Road
Farley Avenue
Manning Street
Loney's Lane
North Main Street
Market Street
Cross country from Topsfield Rd. paralleling the Kimball Brook
This construction will make sewerage available to an estimated 105 structures
as well as to many lots which as yet have no buildings.
The Water and Sewer Superintendent meets bi-monthly with the Water andSewerAdvisory Board. This Board is comprised of the following members: PaulKeenan, Chairman; Stanley Trocki; Edward Wegzyn; and Albert Lemire. TheBoard has shown much concern over the welfare of the Department and has onnumerous occasions provided advice which has proved to be in the best interest
of the Town.

Purchase and Generated Power Tie-in Substation
ELECTRIC DEPARTMENT
Alfred L. Tobiasz, Manager
The Electric Light Commissioners negotiated a very favorable contract onSeptember 26, 1966, for the purchase of electricity from the New England Pow-er Company to supplement our existing generating plant capacity.
A substation was installed near the generating plant at which point the poweris received and is synchronized with the generated power for control and dis-
tribution to the customers in Ipswich and Rowley. This project was completedon October 28, 1966 and the actual purchase began on November 10, 1966.
The generating plant was established in 1 904 and with the exception of a periodfrom 1924 to 1934, when a percentage of power was purchased, all the powerneeds were supplied by the High Street Plant.
The installation of the 15 KV spacer cable feeder from the intersection of MileLane and Linebrook Road to Howe Street was postponed until 1967 when it is
expected that the road will be widened and at that time the poles and cables canbe placed in a permanent location. This project must be completed if we are
to meet the increase in demand for more power in that section of the Town.
25
Personnel
Harry Leno retired after nearlyforty years of faithful service with the Electric
Department.
Building Expansion
Positive steps should betaken to engage the services of an architect to prepareplans and specifications for the construction of an addition to the existing waterand light building.

ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
Edwin R. Emerson, Assistant Town Engineer
During the year, this department served the Town's Planning Board, Board of
Selectmen, Highway Department, Building Department, and other various mu-nicipal officials and committees of the community. This department also main-tains on file official maps, plans, and various data, in connection with the townand its facilities.
Projects that this department has assisted in during the past year are:
Gould Creek Bridge - Specifications and inspection of new decking and guardrails.
High Street Sidewalk - Specifications and inspection of a Bituminous Concretewalk from the High School to Mile Lane. Construction will be completed this
spring. It is also planned to install sidewalks from Mineral Street to Lord'sSquare.
South Main Street - A new cement sidewalk was constructed with a road widen-ing to help make this a safer curve.
Seaview Road - In cooperation with residents of Seaview Road, this street wasre-shaped and given a new oil surface. The same project is proposed for Dart-mouth Road and Hodges Way.
Linebrook Playground Addition - A topographical survey with test borings wascompleted this year to enable the Recreation Department to determine the lay-
out of the property.
Locust Road - In conjunction with Babco Co. , the road was re-surfaced with
Bituminous Concrete due to expected heavy traffic loads.
Pine Street Drainage - New drain lines were laid on Linebrook Road and PineStreet to ease problems in this area and also in preparation for the road to be
surfaced by the developer.
Fire Station Improvement - Specifications were submitted for re -enforcing theapparatus floor.
House Numbers - The complete town was assigned house numbers. This wasdone as an aid to delivery and emergency services to enable the location of
people more easily.
Road Survey - A system of awarding priority numbers to streets was arrivedat. This enables the Highway Department and this department to plan for roadrepair, drainage or general construction to be done to roads in poor condition.
It also gives mileage for all roads.
Proposed New Fire Station - Apian of land was prepared for property donated
to the Town to be used for the construction of a new fire station on LinebrookRoad.
28
County Street Cove - Estimates were submitted for the re -construction of the
retaining wall in the cove and possible re -building of the dam to maintain awater level in the Cove.
Street Opening Permits - These permits were inaugurated to help control any-
irresponsible trenching of streets and sidewalks. Contractors are made to
backfill with suitable materials and use compaction to reduce settlement.
Sewer House Connections - All contractors requesting help were given gradesfor the accurate installation of house tie-in lines to sewer mains. This is to
eliminate guess work and to help provide a trouble free job.
Planning Board - Inspections were made of Planning Board approved sub-divi-sions for quality control. Some of these are Pinefield, Settlers Landing, Sky-top Road, M. L. S. Land Corporation, Perley Pastures and Bush Hill Section 2.
Chapter 90 - Revised Plans for Topsfield Rd. have been received and releasesare under work. Due to sewerage construction, the last section of TopsfieldRoad may be postponed one year. In this event, it is hoped that part of Line-brouk Road will be straightened and widened.
More moneyhas been requested from the County Commissioner for Chapter 90maintenance to keep these roads from becoming a major expense requiring acomplete rebuilding project.
Town Roads - Plans are in progress to re-surface roads which have all sewerwork completed. This depends greatly on the cooperation of the public to con-nect to the sanitary sewer system as soon as it becomes available to them.
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
Woodrow Hills, Superintendent
Summer Maintenance
Roadside mowing, catch basin cleaning and painting of the greater part of the
long center lines on the main roads as well as most of the parking spaces andthe crosswalks in the center of town were let out to private contractors andcompleted.
The number of gravel roads remainingin the Town are being constantly reducedand those gravel roads left were regularly scraped and graded by the towngrader. The sweeper usually was sent out three times a week except in the
winter months.
With highway funds and additional money from special appropriations, a total
of 973 tons of patch, 4081 tons of hot top and 62, 970 gallons of asphalt wereused in street repair, resurfacing and construction work. With these funds,
13 streets were resurfaced, sections of 6 other streets and part of the munici-pal parking lot were also resurfaced.
Nineteen street name signs, twenty-one speed limit signs and many signs to
regulate parking were purchased and set up.
29
Guardrails were repaired on upper Line brook Road. Fences damaged by carswere repaired onTopsfield Road, at the town wharf and at Green Street bridge.
The department patched and hot topped many water trenches and also somesewer trenches.
Sand fill was hauled to cover the town dump in Januaryand again in December.The outside walls and the doors of the town garage were painted. Several dayswere spent in cutting brush along parts of the Argilla and North Gate Roads.
An emergency road was built of gravel along the railroad tracks from Peat-field Street to Rye Park for vehicle travel during sewer construction whichblocked Kimball Street. The gravel was subsequently removed to the Towngarage after Kimball Street was re-openedand stockpiled for further use. Thelight wire fencing also used in this project was reused at the Town dump to
help control and direct dumping.
Winter Maintenance
A total of 294 tons of salt, 2406 tons of sand and 3 tons of calcium were usedin snow removal work. About 35 sand barrels were purchased and placed onhills in different parts of town. These are filled regularly. As usual, men andtrucks from the forestry, water, recreation and cemetery departments" helped
the highway department in snow and ice control.
In addition to ,the municipal plows and trucks, hired plows worked 265 hours,
hired trucks, 244 hours and a hired dozer, 10 hours.
New Equipment
The old highway pick-up truck was turned in and a new Dodge pick-up truck
purchased.
Special Appropriations
A sidewalk on High Street from Mile Lane to the new shopping center preparedby a state contractor was hot topped by the department. About 360' of granite
curbing was put in on South Main Street from the town hall to the entrance of
the town hall parking lot and the sidewalk was then cemented.
Drainage pipe was put in on Pine Street and part of LinebrookRoad and ten ba-sins Built there. Drainpipe was also laid on upper Br ownville Avenue and three
basins built.
With Chapter 90 maintenance funds North Gate Road and part of Argilla Roadwere resurfaced with stone and asphalt and with Chapter 90 construction funds
another section of upper Topsfield Road was hot topped.
30
Stump Remover
FORESTRY DEPARTMENT
Armand Michaud, Forestry Warden
During the year, 34 public Dutch Elm diseased and 110 private beetle -infestedtrees were taken down, hauled away to the town dump and burned. Also, 25other dead trees such as maples, oaks and birches were taken down and burned.
Approximately 93 tree stumps were removed by a stump remover hired by this
department. The stumps were removed 6 inches below the ground and the holesfilled with loam.
Seventy-four new trees of various kinds were planted throughout the town andwatered during the summer months.
In addition to line clearing for the electric light department, this departmentsprayed brush killer under the new high tension lines to prevent regrowth of
trees previously cut. This method proved very successful.
Spraying with Sevin and Methoxychlor was conducted throughout the town for
the control of Dutch Elm disease during the months of April, May and July.
Also, spraying was done for the control of birch leaf miners and poison ivy in
various parts of town.
The Great Neck area was surveyed for tent caterpillars and sprayed whereneeded.
31
For three weeks this department cut brush for the water department at BullBrook.
On Arbor Day, this department helped the Conservation Department plant trees
at the new Linebrook School. Also, the Forestry Department planted 3, 000trees to re-forest land surrounding the town dump for the Conservation Depart-ment.
Forestry Department trucks and men were used in snow removal, in setting
up voting booths for elections, setting up chairs for town meetings and in the
delivery of the town report.
CIVIL DEFENSE
Edwin R. Emerson, Director
Civil Defense was active again this year with training and actual use.
The RACES group is participating in six monthly radio tests, two are in the
town area involving 14 radios, 3 tests with the mutual aid system and one with
Sector C. D. Headquarters. This group donates approximately 325 man-hoursto this task. They are available for emergency communications for re-routingtraffic, portable Public Address systems and many other functions. They arecurrentlybuilding 5 walkie-talkies for search and rescue, and other emergen-cy use with their own funds.
Auxiliary Police were used several times this year to augment the regular
police department. Consisting of 38 men, this organization could be a valuable
asset to the town if it could be used more often.
The Director and his assistant attended an 8-week course at the Topsfie Id Civil
Defense Training Center on the subject of Emergency Operations this past win-ter. Another course is planned within the near future on Radiological Moni-toring.
A course has begun in Medical Self-Help with the cooperation of the AmericanLegion Auxiliary. It is hoped thatmore classes will be given, as they are valu-
able to all citizens. This time is donated and all courses are free of charge.
A large generator was purchased for emergency lighting and power. A trailer
will be constructed soon so that this unit may be portable.
The success of Civil Defense depends entirely on the attitude and willingness
6f the people of the community. Only by their interest and cooperation can it
be effective.

CEMETERY DEPARTMENT
Walter H. Hulbert, Jr. , Superintendent
During the year there were eighty-eight burials as compared with one hundredseven the previous year.
Two hundred thirty-five feet of water line was extended in the New HighlandCemetery.
A large portion of grading was done between Legion and Cowles Memorial andalso seeded. Three hundred yards of bank sand was hauled into this same areato be graded in the Spring. We hope to complete this seeding in 1967.
The area at the right of the main entrance has had over three hundred yards of
fill graded in, with one hundred fifty yards of loam stockpiled to finish gradingin the Spring. We hope to have this area completed and seeded in 1967.
Two thousand sixty eight running feet of Avenues were hot topped using three
hundred tons of binder and finish.
We finished clearing the new strip of land in the Linebrook Cemetery. This
area was rotovated and four tons of lime applied. We hope to rotovate, grade
and seed in the Spring.
All Cemetery records have been Microfilmed to protect the Department of loss
by Fire, Nuclear war damage, Deterioration and Vandalism. Theyare covered
by a blanket insurance that will pay up to ten thousand dollars towards the cost
of replacing the original records if destroyed.
Following is the list of the monies turned into the Town by the Department:

PUBLIC LIBRARY
Hester L. Mitchell, Librarian
At the beginning of the ninety-ninth year of continuous public library service,
note is made of the following facts:
1. During 1966, 106,645 books were borrowed from the building and 13,205reference volumes used in the library.
2. Attendance totaled 38, 825.
3. 520 new people were registered to use the facilities.
4. The current total number of registered borrowers is 3, 608 plus approxi-mately 500 non-registered users of the building.
As a new year begins, an evaluation of the present library situation plus de-cisions concerning the immediate future of library services to Ipswich seemin order. The overwhelming problem is one which exists in many old library
buildings - that they are no longer adequate for increasing population use. Nextyear, 1968, marks the completion of one hundred years of library work in the
same building, with but one small wing added during the century. Small won-der that major construction is a necessity in order that the townspeople maycontinue to have available to them their requirements in library services.
For the calendar year of 1966, the public library has reached a milestone in
its history. To continue the objectives and services offered, effort must bemade by the entire community. Survival through the efforts of a few is no long-
er possible, for library service has become as complex as service in other
public institutions during the age of automation and space travel. A great deal
has been written concerning the definition of good library service. It should
not be necessary to delve into terms and statistics to arrive atone to apply to
this community. Those responsible for library services are simply attemptingto give to the community the best possible advantages in the field of education
that money can buy; and one of the major objectives is to offer books and re-
lated materials to the students of the town that they might continue to preparethemselves for their future as the adults of Ipswich.
Some of the questions asked by library users during the past year were: Whatbooks do you have on oceanography? Extrasensory perception? Hallucinosis?
Cytology? Laser rays ? Psychometry? Hypnosis ? Unidentified flying ob-
jects ? These and hundreds more have been answered through the books in the
library's current collection, thus benefiting those being trained toward com-puter living. Adults in all communities must accept and provide for this res-ponsibility, by equipping local libraries for the expanded tasks they have ac-quired due to the progress of modern man.
What makes a good library? The availability of the best books, pamphlets,
maps, recordings, art and filmstrips for use of the townspeople. With effort
on the part of all, the library can become the center of education and recrea-
tion in the community - thus living up to its heritage.

PLANNING BOARD
Paul D. Keenan, Chairman
During 1966, the Planning Boardheldregular meetings on alternate Tuesdaysthroughout the year. Mr. Eugene Calabro was appointed to the Board replac-ing Mr. H. Gilman Nichols who resigned after serving five years.
As in previous years, the Board spent a great deal of time reviewing sub-division plans and checking and inspecting approved sub-divisions in variousstages of construction. In addition, many plans were reviewed and certified
as not requiring Planning Board approval under the sub-division control law.
The Board appeared before, and made recommendations to, the Zoning Boardof Appeals in reference to requests of that bodyfor variances and special ex-ceptions under the Zoning By-Law.
The prescience of the town in making available the sanitary sewer to the Spil-
lers Lane sub-division, resulted in the entire development being sewered at
no cost to the town;
The Heartbreak Hill sub-division was resubmitted to the Board and receivedapproval on October 11, 1966.
Four streets, Abell Drive, Bush Hill Avenue, Skytop Road, and GoldfinchWay, were recommended as public ways to the Board of Selectmen. Theywere subsequently accepted at the 1966 town meeting.
The Planning Board spent a great deal of time formulating changes in the text
and revisions to the Zoning by-Law, which amendments shall be presentedat an advertised public hearing and later at the 1967 town meeting.
The lack of a town engineer has forced the Board to hire the services of reg-istered engineers to assist in the review of sub-division plans presented to
the Board, and in checking sub-divisions requesting reduction in bonds.
The Board, constantly aware of the tremendous cost of capital improvementsthat the town must face in the near future, (such as sewer and water exten-
sions and the resultant storage and pumping facilities which are an integral
part of such improvements) arranged a meeting with Mr. Barry Harris, di-
rector of community programs for the Metropolitan Area Planning Council(M. A. P. C. ) to discuss the town's participation in the Council. This meeting,
which was attended by all town bodies, resulted in the unanimous opinion that
joining the Council would be a wise and fore sighted move for the future of the
town. The Planning Board voted unanimously to present an article in the 1967
town warrant requesting that the town join the Metropolitan Area Planning
Council and to provide sufficient funds for this purpose.
The Planning Board, ever conscious of the rapid growth of the town, is con-fident thatwith the continued assistance of all town departments, and the co-
operation of the citizens of Ipswich, it will continue to further promote andcontrolan orderly and equitable development program for the present and fu-
ture needs of the town.

PERSONNEL BOARD
Mr. Armand Brouillette, Chairman
The Personnel Board had a busy year in 1966. Mr. George Taylor was electedChairman and held that position until his resignation from the Board in Octoberat which time, Mr. Armand Brouillette was elected Chairman. Mr. GordonBurlingham was appointed by the Board of Selectmen to fill the unexpired termof Mr. Taylor.
The Personnel Board has interviewed a total of twenty nine applicants for six
openings within the Town employ. These six openings were due to resignations,
transfers to other town departments and one death. The Board set up and held
a hearing for two suspended town employees, the results of which are pendingin the courts.
The Board has asked the Selectmen to have a Wage and Classification Surveydone by an outside firm to bring our Wage and Classification plan up to date.
Through the years since the plan went into effect, it has never been updated.
This survey will indicate as to the feasibility of all jobs classified within the
town employ. It will indicate whether certain classifications are needed or not,
and also what the duties should be in these positions as well as the proper sal-
ary.
The Town has had to advertise three different times to fill one position. Wefeel that one deterrent to recruitment is the five year spread to reach maxi-mums in pay grade. The Board would recommend that the plan be revised to
incorporate a three year maximum. We believe this will improve the numberand caliber of future applicants. We also feel that some jobs should be getting
more salary. These recommendations were made to the Selectmen.
The future of the Board is very much in doubt due to the unionizing of the em-ployees and the action of the upcoming town election whether to accept the newCharter or not. If accepted, the Personnel Board goes out of existence.
The Board meets on the first and third Tuesdays of the month as business war-
rants.

IPSWICH HOUSING AUTHORITY
Christopher KarraS, Executive Director
This is the report of the Ipswich Housing Authority on its Management Pro-gram, of its endeavors to meet and eliminate many of the problems that confront
all home owners, which happen quite often in our projects, such as defective
heating, lighting, broken windows, sewerage and utilities.
The Authority supervises three housing developments in the Town of Ipswich,
consisting of fifty eight units.
1. State-aided Project #200-1, which consists of twenty-four units -preferencegiven to veterans and their families.
2. State-aided Project #667-1, for citizens sixty-five years or older whichconsists of twenty units.
3. Title V, known as "The Barracks, "this is the first development in the town,
which was setup originally on a temporary basis - this unit consists of fourteen
units.
200-1
This development consists of seven buildings comprising 24 units - 14 two bed-room, 8 three bedroom and 2 four bedroom apartments. Each apartment has
its own hot water heater and furnace. The apartments are equipped with gas
stoves and electric refrigerators, aluminum storm doors and windows. Theauthority pays for the water and the tenants pay for the gas and electric. The
38
J
rent for this project, which averages $57. 00 per month is based on the incomeand size of eachfamily. The Authority pays the town of Ipswichin lieu of taxes,
the sum of $864. 00 per year.
We have been and are now exceedingly fortunate in the selection of the tenants
that have been occupying our project for this year. It was through their efforts
that the apartments have been completely painted. The Authority supplies the
paint and materials and the tenants supply their own labor. Seldom do we lose
a day's rent because they are unoccupied. At present, we have over thirty
applicants on file for this type of housing.
667-1
We have been operating this project since 1957, it provides comfortable living
quarters for our older citizens. It consists of three buildings of brick veneerconstruction and comprises twenty units. The Authority supplies the gas for
cooking, heating and hot water, all this for $47. 00 per month. Over the periodof nine years, we have had no vacancies. We now have a waiting list of one
hundred applicants. As a result of this, your Authority is about to build another
forty or more units in 1967. These units will be located on Caroline Avenue,(off Broadway Avenue). This location is within five minutes walking distance
to the center of the town.
Title V
This project has just ended its 20th year of occupancy. In January, 1955, the
Public Housing Administration ordered the Housing Authority to demolish the
buildings. However, the Authority persuaded them to turn the buildings over to
the Town of Ipswich with the Housing Authority administering them; we have kept
the houses in a fair and livable condition and through the efforts of your Au-thority, the town receives an average of $2, 200. 00 per year in lieu of taxes.
:There are four buildings with three apartments each and one building with two
partments. Eachunit has four rooms with bath, heated by gas heat. The ten-
ants pay all utilities, with the exception of water, which is furnished by the Au-thority. The shelter rent average is $35. 35 per month. Repairs to these build-
ings are increasing each year because these buildings are set on wooden posts,
which either rot or settle, throwing the buildings out of plumb, resulting in the
doors and windows not closing properly or tight. Each year, it costs the Au-thoritymore and more for upkeep. Although these apartments are not the mostdesirable, they are always rented, because of the low rent. We always have a
waiting list to get into these apartments.
Our major problemfor all of the project is sewerage and unless the town runs
a sewerage line on County Road where we can tie in, we will be in a major dif-
ficulty in one or two years hence.

ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
Daniel B. Lunt, Jr. , Chairman
In 1966, the Zoning Board of Appeals held five hearings on requests for vari-ances or special exceptions from the zoning by-laws. Of these requests, four
were granted and the fifth withdrew his request.
The types of requests on which hearings were held are summarized as follows:
1. A request to build a garage closer to the side line than is permitted in the
By-laws.
2. A request to divide a lot of land on which two houses are located to form twolots.
3. A request to divide three non- conforming lots existing at the time of the a-
doption of the By-laws, into two non-conforming lots.
4. A request to allow a home owner to use part of his house and land for the
sale of ski equipment.
The Zoning By-law is established to protect the general public and propertyowners. The Board of Appeals exists to protect the individual where the con-ditions of the By-law may create a hardship, financial or otherwise.
In all cases, before making its decision, the Board must determine the hard-
ship involved, must satisfy itself that the granting of the request would not be
detrimental to the public good, nor would it derogate from the general intent
and purpose of the By-law.
IPSWICH CONSERVATION COMMISSION
Jacob Israelsohn, Chairman
The work of your Conservation Commission, under the law, covers everythingfrom what lives under the sea to what pollutes the air. With thirty square milesof area, much time must be spent in the field. This past year found us spend-ing m.d.ny hoiars tramping over upland and marsh.
Under the new state laws governing both fresh and salt water marsh, each ap-
plicationfor fillingmust be reviewed byus and this means trips to the proposedfill areas.
Our watersheds and future water supply is a continuing concern and much timehas been spent on this matter both at the localand state levels. We worked on
the Ipswich River Watershed Study and supported the legislation which estab-
lished the Ipswich River Watershed District.
The planting of trees and shrubs for erosion control and wildlife is a project
we have carried out each year and which we hope to continue. This year, 2300
3.ed Pine, 600 Norway Spruce, 100 Japanese Larch, 14 Flowering Crab apple
40
trees, 3 Russian Olive, 3 Red-twigged Dogwood, and 6 Blueberry bushes wereplanted in several areas around town. The Crab-apple trees were planted onArbor Day with school children and town officials participating in the ceremo-nies which were held at the Linebrook School.
We would like to extend our thanks to Mr. Armand Michaud and his crew for
their workin plantingthe trees andshrubs and alsofor the caretheygive theseplantings.
We supported the Greenhead research program at both the state and federallevel.
We held regular monthly meetings, special meetings and attended meetings onconservation sponsored by the State Department of Natural Resources and the
Association of Conservation Commissions. The meetings sponsored bythe Di-vision of Natural Resources are educational meetings covering all phases of
conservation and especially new legislation at both the state and federal level.
We held a public meeting and then filed an application with the County Com-missioners for a Natural Resource Inventory. This inventory is needed for
proper planning for the future development of Ipswich.
IPSWICH HISTORICAL COMMISSION
George Mathey, Chairman
The work of the Ipswich Historical Commission during the past year has beenmost interesting and varied.
At the request of the Secretary of State, Kevin White, we have prepared andforwarded an inventory for the Department of Public Works, relative to the
Highways Beautification Act. Such inventory consisted of all historic homesand sites within one half mile of Routes #1 and 1A. We have also cooperatedwith the Junior League of Boston in their preparation of a similar inventory.
The Commission was pleased to learn that they had compiled the most compre-hensive and exhaustive file of any similar organization within the Common-wealth.
We have answered all correspondence directed to the town regarding mattersof historical nature. Such requests have varied from supplying a college stu-
dent with the necessary information for a thesis on historic preservation to a
request from a Baltimore gentleman for information on the fate of twolpswich-ites who were swept out to sea on a hay-stack in 1876.
The Commission has supplied information to residents requesting historical
backgrounds of their properties. We have also supplied, in several instances,
books, pamphlets and advice relative to the restoration of historic homes. Wehave been most pleased to be of service to the community in this capacity andwelcome all requests of this nature.
During the past year, there has been a dramatic propulsion of interest in his-
toric preservation. As more and more of our historic sites succumb to the
41
bulldozer or decay, we are becoming increasingly aware of the loss of, not
only our historic heritage, but of our economic and recreational values as well.
For this reason, the Commission was pleased to announce the certification of
our Choate Bridge as a Massachusetts Historic Landmark. Thus, not onlyhavewe preserved the oldest stone-arched bridge in America, but listed and ad-vertised nationally by the Department of Commerce, it will attract the tourist
or "travel industry, " which accounts for an estimated $410 million volume of
business annually in Massachusetts. With "historic places" rated as the high-est specific motivating reason for visiting the state, Ipswich with its wealth of
historic homes and sites, should be ready and able to assume its rightful role
as a leading tourist attraction.
During the past, much of the work of historic preservation has been carriedout byprivate organizations. However, with the acceptance of Public Law 89-
665 by the 89th Congress, monies willbe made available to state and local gov-ernments to expand and accelerate their historic preservation programs andactivities. We feel the work of the Historical Commission is just beginning.
Finally, the members of the Commission were saddened by the death of Mrs.Katharine Thompson. Her vast knowledge, gentle direction and warm and gra-cious understanding will be remembered always.
TOWN GOVERNMENT STUDY COMMITTEE
Francis X. Masse, Chairman
The principal activity of the Government Study Committee during the year, re-
volved around actions necessary to the final acceptance of the proposed TownManager Charter, now scheduled for March, 1967. Following completion of
the 1966 annual Town Meeting, during which no formal action was taken on the
Committee's Charter proposal, minor changes were made in the proposal in
preparation for submissionto aSpecialTown Meeting later in the spring. Theproposed charter was then forwarded to the state legislature with the request
from Town Meetingthat it be enacted as a Special Legislative Act. The Com-mittee was represented at the usual state house hearing on the proposed act,
the charter finally being enacted with minor legislative revisions, including the
provision that there be only one chance for town acceptance -the March, 1967
election. The Committee is preparing to hold open hearings on the Charterprior to election.
Prior to the November, 1966 state elections, the Committee studied the pro-posed "Home Rule" amendment to the state constitution which was to be voted
on in that election. The "Home Rule" amendment was recommended to the
townspeople by the Committee, and several meetings and hearings were held
with interested groups and the general public to discuss its merits.

$12, 540.00.
SAFETY DEPARTMENT
Edmund P. Gillis, Safety Engineer
In the past year, the accident rating for the Town of Ipswich has been low. All
accidents have been of a minor nature and with a minimum of lost time.
An accident rating report was made andprinted and delivered to all departmentheads for posting. The reaction to this from all concerned was very gratifying.
It is planned to have a safety committee appointed in 1967, consisting of oneemployee from each department. It is believed that this will prove to be of
benefit to the town of Ipswich.
Weekly inspections were made of municipal buildings. Numerous safety haz-ards were found, the more serious ones were corrected at once, others are in
the process of correction.
I have found s ome departments who in the past were verylax inproviding shor-ing in trenches over 5 feet deep, which resulted in 2 "cave-ins. " This mighthave been serious. In the future, this safety measure must be enforced.
Semi-weekly inspections were made of potential hazards, of bridges and high-
ways. This resulted in correction of one bad condition on the Green Street
4.3
bridge where the fencing had deteriorated. Also, several hazards on the high-
ways requiring filling in or obstruction signs to warntravelers were taken careof.
I would like to express my appreciation to the Fire Chief, Mr. Russell Scahill,
for his prompt reports to me in some of these safety hazards.
The heating systems and boilers in the Town Hall and Memorial Building mustbe properly cleaned and serviced; this must be done every year.
The boiler room in the Memorial Building is exceedingly hot and in and out ven-tilating grills must be installed.
The Town Hall roof was inspected and it was found that drip edges were not
installed under shingles at the eaves resulting in back-up leaks in the walls.
It was also found that parts of the first floor have dry rot and are punky. This
should be repaired.
I would like to see our safety rating lower not onlyfrom the standpoint of hopedfor lower insurance rates, but for the safety and well-being of our municipalemployees and their families.
I want to thank the Board of Selectmen and Executive Secretary Mr. TerraneePerkins for their splendid cooperation in resolving safety measures.

The citizens of Ipswich continued their support of better educationby increas-ing the stabilization fund to $100, 000. 00 at the annual town meeting in March.This sum plus $100,000.00 in matching funds from the state will be used to de-fray the cost of an addition to the Linebrook Elementary School. At the sametime, the voters appropriated $16,500.00 for final plans of the addition. In
December, 1966, bids were requested for the construction of a 12 room and li-
brary addition to the school. It is expected that a town meeting early in Janu-ary of 1967, will authorize the construction. Discussions on the best way to
solve the space problem at the rapidly growing High School have been in pro-gress throughout the year. An even later problem in school housing has beenposed by the State Board of Education in regard to mandatory kindergartens.
The School Committee and the School Building Needs Committee will hold meet-ings and make recommendations at the proper time.
Her many friends and associates will regret the retirement of Mrs. Be miceArsenault, secretary to the School Committee and the Superintendent for manyyears. Something more than the beginning letter of her last name designatedher Mrs. "A. "
With the assistance of Federal Funds, several special reading programs wereinaugurated to further implement:
1. Pre- school program in the summer2. Primary remedial reading during the regular school day3. Intermediate remedial reading during the regular school day4. Continuation and strenghtening of formal reading at the Junior High
School
5. Developmental reading at the High School
6. Special small group language development classes at the High
School level.

Of the many forces at work in American education, perhaps the change fromlocal control to regional, state and federal sharing of that control is the mostimportant single force today. Emerging is the strong trend toward centraliza-tion and even national cur riculums. The multiple and diverse educational pat-
terns that developed locally since the founding of the United States are givingway to a more standardized pattern as federal funds, state funds and voluntaryregional organizations exert their influence upon local school districts.
Some of the recent legislation and examples of regional cooperation are listed
below annotated as to their effect upon education in Ipswich. The list is by nomeans comprehensive or definitive. The older state regulations concerningschool building and construction standards, legislative primacy in the field of
minimum teacher salaries, and teaching certification are omitted because they
are common knowledge. Less well known are the persuasive overtones in state
subsidized evening schools for adults, programs for the mentally retarded,
physically handicapped, emotionally disturbed, and citizenship training of newAmericans. College entrance and civil service examinations reinforce the
movement toward standardization.

Because all of the municipal agencies as well as the schools understand andaccept their peculiar contribution to the total development of the young peopleof Ipswich, cooperation between these agencies and the schools is on the per-sonal, telephone, nod of the head level. It is pleasant to work in this atmos-phere. We in the schools appreciate this and strive to maintain cooperationand reciprocity as a living thing.

Duringthe year, the New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schoolsconducted a 4 day evaluation of the high school. The results were presented at
the Association's annual meeting and we received our accreditation for another
ten year period.
II. Curriculum
Our constant efforts are engaged with curriculum improvement and academicexcellence. In an attempt to keep in line with current educational research,
our courses are structured to include the most up-to-date methods and ma-terials. These include the beginning of the teaching of English from a linguis-
tics approach; our Science programs include nationally known programs; e. g.
,
Biological Science Curriculum Study, Earth Science Curriculum Project andChemical Education Materials Study. This year we began a remedial readingprogram with a full-time reading teacher.
III. Pupil Personnel
In an attempt to create better world understanding, the Ipswich Chapter of the
American Field Service again sponsored an exchange student from Uruguay andsufficient funds were raised to send one of our junior girls, Claudia Hickling to
Norwayfor a year's study. Exchange programs with Negro students from Cam-bridge came to pass this year. It proved highly successful.
The breakdown in the class of 1966 is as follows:
4 year college 29%

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF GUIDANCE
To The Superintendent of Schools :
ORGANIZATION: Ipswich this year became one of the few school systems in
the state with a system-wide guidance program. Guidance counselors at the
elementary levels now initiate services to individual students which will be ex-tended and broadened through twelve years of school.
Initially counseling is preventive, involving students with personal and school
problems. Counselors work with students, their parents and teachers to re-
solve reading difficulties, social problems, emotional problems, chronic ab-
sences, under achievement, and any other obstacles to normal educational de-
velopment.
Eventually, counseling extends to all youngsters and promotes better under-standing of each school child by teachers, parents and by the child himself.
This is the basis for a meaningful school experience and for the maximum utili-
zation of potential in each student.
STANDARDIZED TESTS :
High School
Grade 10 - The Iowa Test of Educational Development; TheCalifornia Test of Mental Maturity.
Grade 1 1 - The Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test; TheNational Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test; The College

Elementary Schools
Grades 1 & 2 - Metropolitan Achievement Tests
Grades 3-6 - Iowa Tests of Basic Skills
Grades 1, 3 & 5 - California Test of Mental Maturity
Grades 4 & 5 - Iowa Silent Reading Examination
PUPIL PERSONNEL SERVICES : This year, as before, the services of all
school specialists who work with individual students were coordinated in the
division of pupil personnel. Meetings were chaired by the guidance director
and were attended by the guidance staff, the supervisor of elementary educa-tion and reading consultant, the school nurses, the school doctor, the special
class teacher, and the school principals.
64
The untimely death of the supervisor for social workers for the Department ofPublic Health deprived us of the participation of personnel from that state de-partment.
A proposal for the education of mentally disturbed children in Ipswich, whichwas originated by the pupil personnel staff, was approved bythe school depart-ment. Efforts are now being made to implement the program. We anticipatethat this organized approach to the problem of schoolchildren who are too dis-turbed to profit from normal classroom instruction, will enable the schools tobetter meet the needs of the total school population.
JOSEPH BATTAGLIO
DIRECTOR OF GUIDANCE
REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION
To The Superintendent of Schools :
Many interesting and, we trust, fruitful innovations in teaching and learning
have been developing in the elementary schools during the past year. Since
these have been reported in some detail by the elementary school principals,
this report will be concerned primarily with the impact on local elementary edu-cation, of funds obtained under both the Elementary and Secondary EducationAct of 1965 and the National Defense Education Act.
>A project to provide intensive corrective instruction in reading and guidance
counseling was approved at the federal level and initiated in March, 1966.
Three full-time teachers from our own faculty were selected to carry on this
work. The success of this intensive program resulted in the submission of an-
other project to continue the program for a full year. This program, financed
under Title I of the Elementary & Secondary Education Act and the school bud-get is now in operation.
Under Title II of the same act, funds for the improvement of school libraries
and instructional materials centers became available. These funds have enabled
us to improve the quality, quantity and diversity of books and other instruction-
al materials. The primary schools, Shatswell and Burley, lack adequate facili-
ties for a school library or instructional materials center. Winthrop School
library is fairly adequately housed in a former classroom and Linebrook School
will have the first and only specifically planned library- instructional materi-
als center in the local elementary schools.
Another first for Ipswich in 1966 was a five weekpre-primary summer session
designed to provide school readiness activities for a selected group of children..
This program, financed with federal funds, supports the research findings of
recent years with respect to the importance of early childhood education for all
children. The continuation of this program has already been approved for the
summer of 1967 and, hopefully, will be expanded to include a larger number of
children.
With funds provided under the National Defense Education Act, it has been pos-sible to greatly increase the kinds and amounts of materials of instruction in
science and reading. Mobile science laboratories for the Linebrook and Win-throp schools and multiple texts, experiment kits, film strips and other ma-terials for all elementary schools have been purchased and are in use in the
schools. The second portion of these NDEA funds has provided additional de-vices for reading improvement such as tachistoscopes and controlled readersand films as well as materials for the development and/ or refinement of audi-
tory and visual discrimination and perceptual-motor skills.
A new approach to the study of Englishwas begun this year in grades 3, 5, and6. This approach, based on the research of linguistic scholars, is a logical
sequential study of the structure, use, growth and changes of our native langu-age.
I wishto express my appreciation to the professional staff of the MassachusettsDepartment of Education for their advice andassistance in developing projects,
to the Superintendent of Schools and the School Committee for their encourage-ment and support of programs which we hope will improve the learning of ele-
mentary school children, and to the dedicated professional teachers upon whomthe major responsibility for the success of educational programs depends.
