insurances and the retirement fund. He suggested that the Board of Selectmen,

Mr. Cobb moved to amend the Finance Committee's motion on Article 4 bymaking the following changes in the Report and Recommendations of the

1. Delete Item 8 - Accountant, and substitute the following:

8 - Accountant - Salaries & Wages $39,953.

Expenses 6,911.

Capital Outlay 9,700.

$56,564.

2. Delete Item 11 - Town Clerk, and substitute the following:

11 - Town Clerk - Salaries & Wages $18,348.

Expenses 1,530.

$19,878.

3. Delete from the Public Safety Operating Budget - Item 21 - Police

Department, and substitute the following:

21 - Police Department - Salaries & Wages $336,060.

Expenses 33,930.

Capital Outlay 8,850.

$378,840.

Total General Government $ 312,740.

Total Public Safety 705,834.

Total Operating Budget 3,044,306.

Total Budget $7,124,019.

Seconded. He explained that the only way the Finance Committeerecommendations can be changed is by amending on Town Meeting floor.

The Town Clerk and the Accountant share a clerk; they feel, as does the

Town Manager and the Selectmen, that they each need a fulltime clerk. Bothrequests were in the original budget and removed by the Finance Committee.The Police Department had asked for a lieutenant; this position was also

removed by the Finance Committee. The Town Manager had, the previous

afternoon, reached agreement with the Police Department Union and signed a

memorandum, the effect of which was to give a salary increase of 1Vi% for the

coming fiscal year and add $2,500. to other accounts in the Police budget. Thetotal to be added is $24,755. and the Selectmen unanimously felt that the sumshould be put into the budget now to fund the contract. The balance represents

the addition of a lieutenant, promotion of a patrolman to sergeant, and a newpatrolman. The Selectmen also asked that the salaries format be changed fromthe present form to a more simplified one.

Mr. Dalton, in opposition, stated that the tax rate had gone up $11., manypeople are living on fixed incomes, the population is growing slowly, the tax

base is shrinking. The accountant's new mini-computor is not yet doing all it

should be; he doesn't need another half-clerk. Most of the surrounding townshave only a part-time town clerk and the Finance Committee does not think

that the Town Clerk needs a fulltime assistant. The Police Chief does a goodjob; Town doesn't need a lieutenant.

Mr. Dalton stated he was shocked to learn of the Manager's agreement with

the Police Union, as his Committee had not been informed of it.

Chief Brouillette felt that the Manager did well in holding the Union to a 7.5%increase; he is not asking for more manpower, just a position. He mentionedthe power struggle between the Board of Selectmen and the FinanceCommittee.

Robert Bamford stated that he opposed the Finance Committee report, andthe amendment was completely unnecessary. The Town Manager stated that

the memorandum he had signed did not include longevity or compulsoryovertime, and it is his job to ratify union contracts.

The question was moved, and defeated on a voice vote. Mr. Bamford then

moved to amend the original motion by an across-the-board cut of 3%; there

was no second. The original motion carried on a voice vote.

Board of Selectmen 4-1 in favor. FinanceCommittee 6-3 in favor. Conservation Commission 4-2-2 in favor. PlanningBoard in favor.

Cornelius Cleary stated that this was the same article we voted down last

November, and it was originally proposed to facilitate the PCD, which is in the

Ipswich watershed. The PCD is still alive and can remain so for five moreyears. In addition, the engineer is suing the owner to pressure a more rapid

start of building. If we vote for this article and the PCD is built, we will haveto consider 30B.

James Smythe moved that the appropriation be approved subject to the

contingency that approval is received from the Federal Government for

reimbursement of $132,300. Seconded. Town Counsel felt bonding would bedubious since original article was written by bond counsel.

Stanley Eustace asked where the line would go and what would it benefit.

19

Cleary said that under Article 3 of May 11, 1970 Special Town Meeting the

Section 7(22) of the General Laws as amended, and that the Town Managerwith the approval of the Selectmen, is authorized to contract for and expendFederal Grant for said service. Seconded. Fred Paulitz raised a point of order

(the articles were transposed in the Finance Committee Report). Mr. Cobbstated that this was for engineering studies only to determine whether the

sewer would flow down County Road north into the existing sewer system or

downhill along the river. Nr. Paulitz raised a point of order — is it legal to vote

on an article not published? The Moderator ruled that the article wassubstantially the same, and therefore it was legal. Finance Committeerecommended 7-2. Board of Selectmen recommended 4-1. ConservationCommission recommended 3-1-1. Planning Board recommended. LeoMarc-Aurele spoke in favor, Cornelius Cleary in opposition. A two-thirds vote

Neck, and Jeffrey's Neck Road areas. Seconded. Mrs. Robertson felt that weshould consider people who bought homes in good faith and now find

themselves having terrible sewage problems; this is simply a study of

environmental impact and an engineering study of lines, etc.

Mr. Nagus said that the Finance Committee had originally recommendedagainst the article, not realizing that it was only a Step 1 study, which is 154

reimbursable. Therefore, the Committee recommended 7-2. ConservationCommission voted 1-1-3 present, probably due to lack of information. Attorney

Paul Gillespie, representing the Proprietors of Great Neck, urged passage.

Planning Board unanimously in favor, and suggested a zoning change be

studied for these areas. Mr. Paulitz moved to amend Article 24 to read as

follows: 'No study shall be conducted nor the appropriated funds expendeduntil the zoning for the Summer Residential area (SR) is changed to: minimumlot area 43,560 square feet, minimum lot width 190', minimum yardrequirements — front 50' measured at front wall of the main building at the

setback line, side 40', rear 30'.' The Moderator ruled the amendment wasbeyond the scope of the original article; Town Counsel agreed with him. Walter

Mott, representing the Great Neck Association of 130 families, spoke in favor

of both the article and a zoning change. The motion carried on a vote of 262 in

favor, 190 against.

amended. Seconded. Board of Selectmen in favor 3-2; felt there are manyinequities in town assessments. Finance Committee 5-4 against article. Mr.Dalton moved to amend the article by not implementing revaluation until themajority of cities and towns, including Boston, of the Commonwealth had also

put revaluations into effect, and also to borrow the money over a five-yearperiod. The Moderator felt there was a question as to whether this was placingconditions on the article. Town Counsel ruled the amendment was improper

21

because it was illegal. The Town's obligation is to comply with the law and the

law says revaluate now. The amendment would make it conditional. AssessorVarnum Pedrick stated that it would be better to do it on our own, picking the

firm so that we know what it will cost us; this would not be the case if the

State forced us to do it. Roger Hoy felt the revaluation could be done for muchless than the amount asked. Nathaniel'Pulsifer spoke in favor. The vote was153 in the affirmative, 281 in the negative.


money for renovation, restoration and repair of the upstairs of the IpswichTown Hall, and to see what method the Town will adopt to raise andappropriate such sum by borrowing or otherwise, or take any action relative

thereto.

underway for two years. The Town badly needs office space, the building mustbe tightened up to prevent heat loss. Finance Committee 8-1 against. Mr.Smythe said it was strictly a matter of priorities, an investigation into

possibility of federal funds should have been made. Chief Brouillette said

nothing had been done on the heating plant and the Police Station, which has

rotting sills, a slit trench downstairs, and other problems. Mr. Silvia stated that

he felt we need a completely new police station, hopefully within next

two-three years. $13,000. plus CETA labor has been spent so far on the TownHall. The motion was defeated on a voice vote.

Article 28: To see if the Town will vote to rescind the action taken underArticle 26 at the Annual Town Meeting held March 2, 1953 pertaining to

Ambulance Service within the town, or take any action relative thereto.

Mr. Silvia moved that the Town vote to rescind action taken under Article 26

of the Annual Town Meeting held March 2, 1953 pertaining to AmbulanceService within the Town. Seconded. Mr. Silvia explained the misunderstanding

by reading the original article which provided free ambulance service within the

Town to a resident and on a call from a physician. These conditions rarely

apply nowadays. The cost of ambulance service has escalated, major cause is

General Court ruling that attendants have special training and ambulances musthave special equipment. He had talked to several services, but in most cases

the ambulance would be maintained elsewhere unelss we provide a subsidy.

Finance Committee recommended unanimously. Board of Selectmenrecommended. Motion carried on a voice vote.

Mr. Cobb moved that the Town vote to rescind action taken under Article 15

at the Annual Town Meeting held March 3, 1975 pertaining to the purchase of

land and buildings owned by William Rust on Linebrook Road. Seconded. Mr.

Cobb explained the background of zoning violations, and said that a question

had been raised that there is an exception for land taken for public purpose,

but it applies only to lots which conformed to zoning by-law before transfer.

Finance Committee unanimously recommended. Mr. Dalton explained that

revenue sharing money must be used within three years or the governmenttakes it back. If we put it back into our revenue sharing account, the Town will

have it available for another use next year. This vote will not be against a fire

station in the Linebrook area. Motion carried on a voice vote.

the Department of Public Works, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, pursuantto Chapter 634 of the Acts of 1971. Seconded. This is simply a transfer ofmaintenance and cost to operate to the state. Finance Committeerecommended. Carried on voice vote.

good policy to pay him. The vote was 218 in the affirmative, 140 in the

negative.

This increase brings the total Police Department budget for fiscal 1976-77 to

$377,643. Seconded. Mrs. Robertson stated that the Selectmen supported this

article with four feeling that it was a fair contract. Finance CommitteeChairman Charles Dalton reported that the Finance Committee supported the

article 5-4 with the five in favor having serious reservations: 1) voters were

being asked to vote on funding a Memo of Agreement, not having beeninformed as to the terms of the contract; 2) the second year of the contract will

raise costs, and other Town Employee groups will feel they should be getting

more benefits; 3) the Town Manager's figures are optimistic, particularly in

regard to overtime; 4) the threat of compulsory arbitration is being used as a

lever.

Member Lawrence Pzenny presented the minority report: The average

citizen, including those voters present, do not get raises like those proposed;

other department heads receive between $10,000-13,000, work long hours and

don't receive overtime; when the 4-2 working week goes into effect, it will

result in the loss of 68 manweeks per year, causing an increase in overtime and

a decrease in protection. The motion was carried on a voice vote.

Article 2.: To see if the town will vote to raise and appropriate a sum of moneyfor the purpose of retaining an architect and for related matters in connection

with planning of a new police station, and to detemine whether suchappropriation shall be raised by borrowing or otherwise, or take any other


Mr. Pickard moved that the Town Meeting appoint a Police Station Building

Study Committee and that the Selectmen be empowered to appoint three (3)

voters, the Moderator two (2) voters, and the Finance Committee two (2)

voters to said Committee, and that said Committee report to the next AnnualTown Meeting. Seconded. The motion carried on a voice vote.

Article 3.: To see if the town will vote to appropriate a sum of money for

engineering work, surveys, plans, services and materials fo the Town Dump in

order to meet requirements prescribed by the State Department of

Environmental Quality Engineering and the Attorney General, and to determine

whether such appropriation shall be raised by borrowing or otherwise, or take


Town Counsel Dale Vincent moved that $95,000. is appropriated for the

purpose of paying the cost of engineering work, surveys, plans, services, andmaterials for improvements at the Town Dump in order for such dump to meetrequirements prescribed by the State Department of Environmental Quality

Engineering and the Attorney General; that to raise this appropriation the

Treasurer with the approval of the Selectmen is authorized to borrow $95,000;

and that the Selectmen are authorized to petition the General Court to enact

any special legislation necessary to authorize the Town to finance the aboveappropriation by borrowing. Seconded. Mr. Vincent stated that if we vote

"no" the Court could close the dump and force us to keep garbage in ourhouseholds or truck it out to some other town at an exorbitant rate, if we couldfind a town to take it. Selectmen in favor. Mrs. Conley stated that the FinanceCommittee reluctantly supported the motion, as they felt this situation shouldnot have happened. The Town has been notified several times since 1971 that it

was in violation of the regulations and nothing was done to rectify the

situation. She reminded that a dump is no longer a dump, it is a sanitary

landfill and the rules are different. On a voice vote, two voters were against.

On a hand count, the vote was 298 in the affirmative, 5 in the negative. Motioncarried.

Article 4.: To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate a sum of

money for the purpose of laying water mains not less than six inches in

diameter, a distance of 600 feet, more or less, along Crestwood Road, or take


Selectman Edwin Damon moved that the Town vote to raise and appropriate

the sum of $18,000. to lay water mains, not less than six inches in diameter,

along Crestwood Road, a distance of six hundred feet more or less. Seconded.Mr. Damon asked that we correct an intolerable health and safety problem; the

one inch water pipe on Crestwood Road was laid twenty years ago. Often

times there is no pressure at all. The Finance Committee recommended. Paul

Gahm suggested that the Town look into other streets that have no Town water

at all. Bruce Barrett of Charlotte Road, suggested that a four inch pipe be

used, saving a considerable amount of money. Mr. Damon replied that a four

inch pipe is substandard and would not supply the water needed. Mrs. KayWaz, whose son lives on Crestwood Road, stated that they were unable to

flush the toilet at times. The motion carried on a voice vote.

A motion was made that the meeting adjourn. Seconded. Unanimous voice

vote. The meeting stood ajourned at 8:50 p.m.

33

$729,000. which will double the size of the present building and modernize the

facilities, adding rooms for special activities, ramps and an elevator for the

elderly and handicapped. The Board of Selectmen, Finance Committeeunanimously recommended. The motion carried on a unanimous voice vote.

Article 3.: To see if the Town will vote to appropriate a sum of money to the

Department Budget-Forestry Tanker, to supplement Fire Department BudgetAccount 220-7-29, appropriated at the 1976 Annual Town Meeting. Seconded.

These additional funds will make it possible to purchase a truck that will be

able to be used for more purposes, and will save wear and tear on the larger,

more expensive fire trucks. The Board of Selectmen, Finance Committeeunanimously recommended. The motion carried on a voice vote.

and other clothing for the Shellfish Constable. Seconded. Mr. Pickard stated

that this article would not cost the Town any money. Chairman Charles Dalton

stated that the Finance Committee was unanimously against this article, that

we would be accepting a permissive State statute which in the future might

cost us for something we did not want. Further, the Finance Committee wasunder the impression that Shellfish Constable Sheppard did not wish a uniform.

Mr. Pickard said that the article had been pushed on him over the past week,he didn't really care but asked Mr. Sheppard to state his feelings. Mr.Sheppard was not present. The motion was defeated on a voice vote.

Article 5.: To see if the Town will vote to appropriate a sum of money, in

addition to the sum of money appropriated at the 1976 Annual Town Meeting,

thereto.

Planning Board Chairman George Hayes moved that the Town authorize the

transfer of the sum of S8,500. form Consultant's Reimbursable (line item

114-2-91) to Consultant's General (line item 114-2-92) in the Town of Ipswich

Planning Board budget for the fiscal year 1976/77. Seconded. Mr. Hayesexplained that this sum was originally budgeted for the PCD project which nowappears to be further delayed, and will be used to pay Metcalf & Eddy for

Mr. Pickard moved that Articles 9 and 10 be taken out of context. Seconded.

Article 7.: To see what action the Town will take in regard to proposed changes

to Section II, unnumbered Paragraphs 1 and 2 of the Town of Ipswich

Protective Zoning By-Law relating to Non-vonforming Uses.

Planning Board member Jason Sokolov moved to amend Section II of the

Protective Zoning By-Law of the Town of Ipswich by deleting the word"abandoned" from the first sentence of unnumbered paragraph one of said

Section II and, in substitution therefor, inserting the word "discontinued" so

that, as amended, that sentence shall read:

"Any lawful building or structure or use of a building, structure or land, or

part thereof existing at the time this By-Law is adopted may be continued

although such building, or use of building or land does not conform to the

provisions of the district in which it is located, provided such use has not been

discontinued for a period of one (1) year, except in the case of land used for

agriculture, horticulture, or floriculture where such non-use of non-conforming

uses of land, buildings, or structures shall have existed for a period of less than

five (5) years."

And by deleting the second unnumbered paragraph of said Section II in its

entirety and in place thereof inserting the following paragraph:

"As to any non-conforming use which has not been discontinued as provided

above and when approved by the Board of Appeals, the use of anynon-conforming building, structure or land may be changed to a use otherwise

permitted in this by-law but such changed use shall not be approved if it is

found to be more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing

non-conforming used by reason of, but not limited to, any increase in traffic,

dirt, dust, glare, odor, fumes, smoke, gas, sewage, refuse, noise, vibration,

danger of explosion or fire, residential population density or building size."

Seconded. Mr. Sokolov gave a couple of examples of what these changeswill mean, and explained that the word "abandoned" had been a poor choice,

its meaning not being clear, and the Planning Board felt that "discontinued"

was a better one. The second change will clarify the procedure for changing

from one non-conforming use to another. The Planning Board, Board of

Selectmen, Finance Committee recommended this article. Cornelius Clearyspoke in favor. With a two-thirds vote necessary, the motion passed 467 to 7.

Article 8.: To see what action the Town will take in regard to proposed changesto Section VI, Paragraph A of the Town of Ipswich Protective Zoning By-Lawrelating to lot size and building requirements in the Summer Residence district.

Planning Board member John Beagan moved to amend the Table of Lot andBuilding Requirements in Subsection A, Section VI of the Protective ZoningBy-Law of the Town of Ipswich by substituing the figure 43,560 for the firgure

18,000 in the column designated Minimum Lot Area (square feet) and the figure

175 for the figure 125 in the column Minimum Lot Width (FT) (A); both of the

aforesaid substitutions applicable to the Summer Residence (SR) District.

35

Seconded. This article had been brought to the Planning Board by the GreatNeck Association, over 90% of which is in favor of the change. The PlanningBoard by a vote of 3-1, with one abstention, decided to bring it before the

Special Town Meeting rather than wait to complete the Zoning By-Lawrevision. The Board of Selectment unanimously recommended; the FinanceCommittee 7-0, with one abstention. Walter Mott, a resident of the Neck andmember of the Association, explained that at the Annual Town Meeting when asewerage study of the Neck area was proposed, the Association agreed to it if

rezoning was also considered. The Association worked with both the PlanningBoard and the Conservation Commission over the summer months to formulate

a draft, held open meetings to get opinions, and made sure all year-roundresidents received a copy of the draft. Attorney Paul Gillespie representing the

Proprietors of the Great Neck, asked that Article 8 be indefinitely postponed.

Seconded. Mr. Gillespie felt the article had many features of eminent domain;certain valuable rights are going to be taken away, one of which is the right to

develop land. The Proprietors ask that an orderly process take place and a land

use study be made. Zoning means the best use of land for everybody. Albert

Howes, Chairman of the Civic Committee of the Great Neck Association,

stated that 60-70% of the Town is already zoned for one acre lots. He listed the

undeveloped land amounts in Jeffrey's Neck and Great Neck and said that

continuing with. 18,000 square foot lots would mean more than 500 people over

the one acre lots. The Proprietors previously had stated that they sold land bythe foot, consequently the total lot size made no difference; now they feel it

does. The Proprietors had acquired the former grazing land for a comparatively

small amount of money. On the motion to indefinitely postpone, the motion

was defeated on a voice vote.

A two-thirds vote was necessary on the original motion. The motion carried

with 457 voting in the affirmative, 21 in the negative.

A motion to adjourn was seconded and carried by unanimous voice vote.

The meeting adjourned at 8:55 p.m.

emergency under Chapter 40, Section 41A of the General Laws, and stating

that it had been concerned for many years with the quality as well as the

quantity of water in Ipswich. The Finance Committee, Board of Selectmenunanimously recommended. Paul Gahm felt this would be only a temporarysolution and urged defeat. Mrs. Robertson spoke in favor. The motion carried

on a voice vote.

development of additional well fields and for wells; to determine whether suchappropriation shall be raised by borrowing or otherwise; or to take any other

in May with something concrete. With a two-thirds vote necessary, the motioncarried with 438 voting in the affirmative and 17 in the negative.

Chairman; Adele C. Robertson; Charles K. Cobb, Jr.

BOARD OF SELECTMEN

During this past year the Board has acquired a new chairman, and the townhas a new town manager and a new town engineer. The impact of these latter

two appointments will not be felt until 1977, but the Board has everyconfidence that the results will be beneficial to the town.

The perpetual problems of an inadequate water supply, the necessity for

improvement of sewer services, and control of land usage in town are still with

us. During the past year the Board has specifically directed its efforts to finding

a solution to the water situation. Exploration of the town's groundwaterresources continues and we are hopeful that additional water supplies will beavailable from groundwells during the coming summer months to eke out our

present limited supplies. At best this is purely a short term solution, however,and in an effort to provide a solution to the long term problem the Board has

directed the town engineer to obtain current prices for previously discussed

options — including a new reservoir. The Board is very much aware of the fact

that the citizens have previously turned down these options. However, if the

citizens wish to continue using water at the present rate of consumption, and if

they wish to avoid the continual water emergency bans, and the necessity of

buying water from neighboring communities, the Board feels these options

must be immediately re-examined, and a decision reached as soon as possible.

The Board is pleased to report that the municipal wastewater treatment plant

on Town Farm Road is completed and is being utilized, subject to final

checking and official acceptance.

TOWN MANAGERJoseph McD. Mitchell

Shortly after Thanksgiving, Mrs. Mitchell and I made Ipswich our home. Wehope that we will be "permanent residents", contrary to the record to date.

We are both delighted to return to the Northeast, as well as to New England,

which was our home once, as well as the home of one of my principle

ancestors, William Sprague, who was a Selectman and later Constable in

Hingham, circa 1645. While we were welcomed by cold blasts of arctic air and

tons of snow, you welcomed us with kind hearts and warm hearths. We both

hope to earn your respect and good will as the years go by.

Your Friend,

Joseph McD. Mitchell

ASSESSOR'S OFFICEVarnum S. Pedrick, Chief Assessor

The total assessed value of real estate and personal property committed to

the Treasurer for collection was $73,948,067. The total is an increase of

approximately $900,000 over 1975. The modest increase of $4.00 on our tax

rate was much less than the majority of Massachusetts' communities, and was

a pleasant surprise to many people who had anticipated a much greater rise in

taxes.

We also committed $432,811 in motor vehicle excise taxes which is a slight

decrease over the previous year.

BUILDING INSPECTORRalph Hebert

Construction was on the upswing for 1976, which includes thirty newdwellings. The bulk of the Construction Valuation, however, was due to the

home for the elderly and low-income housing by the Ipswich HousingAuthority.

Frequency of Court appearances increased due to zoning and building codeviolations.

Gentlemen:

I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of

of a report made to my by Mr. Harold J Regan, Jr., Chief Municipal and County

Examiner.

Very truly yours,

ir'ector of Accounts V-rmcrmcv

Mr. Robert M. CrosbyDirector of AccountsDepartment of Corporations and TaxationBoston, Massachusetts

Sir:

As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the

town of Ipswich for the period from July 1, 197U to October 3, 1975, the following

report being submitted thereon:

The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the several

departments receiving or disbursing money for the town or comnitting bills for

collection, were examined and checked by comoarison with the books of the town

accountant and the town treasurer.

The books and accounts in the town accountant's office were examined and

checked. The town accountant's ledgers for fiscal 1975 and for the period from

July 1 to October 3, 1975 were analyzed. The recorded receipts were compared with

the treasurer's books and with the departmental record of payments to the treasurer,

while the recorded disbursements were checked with the treasury warrants and with the

records of payments by the treasurer. The appropriations, loan authorizations, and

transfers, as entered on the ledgers, were checked with the town clerk's records of

financial votes passed by town meetings and with the finance committee's authorizations

of transfers from the reserve fundo

A trial balance was taken off, and a balance sheet, which is appended to

this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town as of

October 3, 1975.

The balance sheet shows three overdrawn appropriations totaling 33,501.10,

which are contrary to the provisions of Section 31, Chapter bh f General Laws.

The books and accounts in the office of the town treasurer were examined

and checked in detail. The receipts, as recorded, were analyzed and compared with the

town accountant's books, with the records of payments to the treasurer by the several

departments collecting money for the town, and with other sources from which the town

received money, while the recorded payments were compared with the treasury warrants

and with the town accountant's books.

The cash balance on October 3, 1975 was verified by reconciliation of the

bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit, by inspection of

the savings bank books, by verification of the certificates of deposit, and by actual

count of the cash in the office.

The Federal Revenue Sharing Funds were examined and checked. The funds

received from the Federal Government were listed, the income was proved, and the

appropriations were checked with the town clerk's record of town meetings. The

payments were compared with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the disbursement of

Federal Revenue Sharing Funds and with the town accountant's records. The cash

balance on October 3, 1975 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balance with a

statement furnished by the bank of deposit and by verification of the certificates

of deposit.

The reported payments on account of maturing debt and interest were compared

with the amounts falling due and checked with the cancelled coupons and securities on

file. The outstanding bonds and coupons were listed and reconciled with statements

furnished by the banks of deposit.

The transactions of the several trust and investment funds in the custody

of the town treasurer, the treasurer of the library trustees, and the trustees of

the Manning School Fund, the Brown School Fund, and the Burley Education Fund, as

well as the Feoffees of the Grammar Schools of Ipswich, were verified. The

securities and savings bank books representing the investment of these funds were

examined and listed, and the balances were compared with the town accountant's books.

The treasurer's records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town

were examined and checked. The taxes and assessments transferred to the tax title

account were coinpared with the town collector's books, the recorded redemptions were

checked with the treasurer's cash book, and the tax titles and tax possessions on

hand were listed, reconciled with the ledger controls, and compared with the records

at the Registry of Deeds.

The deductions from employees' salaries for Blue Cross and Blue Shield, and

for group insurance were listed and reconciled with the amounts due and paid to the

proper agencies.

It was noted that receipts from payroll deductions on account of Federal

and State taxes and the county retirement system had not been entered in the cash

book, the payments to the various agencies having been made directly from the payroll

vouchers. It is recommended that the deductions be entered as receipts in the cash

book and that payments to the various agencies be made on authority of the treasury

warrants, in order that the accountant's ledger may show all the financial transactions

and cash balances.

The books and accounts of the town collector were examined and checked. The

tax, excise, assessment, departmental, and water accounts outstanding July 1, 197h f

as well as all subsequent commitments, were audited and proved. The cash books weye

footed and the recorded collections were checked with the payments to the treasurer.

The abatements were compared with the assessors' and other departmental records of

abatements granted, the amounts transferred to the tax title account were verified, and

the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the respective accounts in

the accountant's ledger.

It is recommended that the town collector make a determined effort to effect

a settlement of past due taxes which date back to 1966, as well as past due motor

vehicle excise which date back to 196U«

The records of apportioned sewer assessments were examined and checked. The

payments in advance were checked with the treasurer's recorded receipts, the abatements

were compared with the assessors' records of abatements granted, the amounts added to

taxes were checked with the town collector's books, and the apportionments due in

future years, as well as the suspended assessments, were listed and reconciled with

the respective ledger accounts.

The books and accounts of the municipal light department were examined and

checked. The recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer,

the abatements and discounts were verified, and the outstanding accounts were listed.

The records of municipal light consumers' deposits were examined and checked.

The refunds were verified, and the deposits on hand were listed and proved.

The outstanding tax, excise, assessment, departmental, municipal light, and

water accounts were verified by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names

appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received

thereto it appears that the accounts, as listed, are correct.

The financial records of the town clerk were examined and checked in details

The collections on account of dog and sporting licenses issued, as well as for marriage

intentions, recording fees, etc., were checked, and the payments to the treasurer and

to the Division of Fisheries and Game were verified.

The records of cash receipts by the board of selectmen, the sealer of weights

and measures, and the inspectors of buildings, plumbing, and gas, as well as by the

police, health, recreation, school, and cemetery departments, and by all other

departments collecting money for the town, were examined and checked. The payments

to the treasurer were verified, and the cash balances, including petty cash advances,

were verified by actual count of the cash on hand in the several departments.

The books and accounts of the treasurer of the Eastern Essex Veterans'

Services District were examined in conjunction with the audit of the town treasurer's

accounts. The recorded receipts were analyzed and verified by comparison with the

amounts paid by the member towns of the district. The payments, as entered,were

checked with the approved warrants authorising the disbursement of district funds,

and the cash balance on October 3, 1915 was proved by reconciliation of the bank

balance with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit.

The surety bonds of the officials required by law to furnish them for the

faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.

In addition to the balance sheet, there are aopended to this report tables

showing a reconciliation of the tovm treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax, excise,

assessment, tax title, tax possession, departmental, municipal light, and water

accounts, as well as schedules showing the condition and transactions of the several

trust and investment funds.

For the cooperation received from all town officials while engaged in

making the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express

appreciation

CIVIL DEFENSEJohn R. Harrigan, Director

'THE PREPARATION FOR AND THE CARRYING OUT OF ALLEMERGENCY FUNCTIONS, OTHER THAN MILITARY FUNCTIONS,FOR THE PURPOSE OF MINIMIZING AND REPAIRING INJURY ANDDAMAGE RESULTING FROM DISASTERS CAUSED BY ATTACK,SABOTAGE OR OTHER HOSTILE ACTION: OR BY FIRE, FLOODEARTHQUAKE, OR OTHER CAUSES.'*

Our report of 1975 talked about expanding Civil Defense in Ipswich. During

the year of 1976, the Town was fortunate to have a group of citizens comeforward and form a Search Team of approximately 70 people. These people

standby ready to help whatever the need may be; a lost child, missing person,

or a surveillance mission requested by any Department Head. The Civil

Defense Agency of Ipswich welcomes this fine group of volunteers.

In 1976, requests for assistance of sandbags and providing pumps, emergencylighting to citizens in need, were supplied. As Director, I would like morepeople to evaluate their need before emergencies arise and be better prepared.

Request for sandbags and emergency gear will be handled promptly to better

prepare the citizens of Ipswich.

Tropical Storm Belle cast the spotlight on Civil Preparedness in Ipswichduring 1976 with two hours after notification of potential problem. The Civil

Defense Agency along with representatives of all Town Departments stoodbyready for any and all emergencies.

During the year, the Civil Defense played an important part in instituting a

C.P.R. Course given to 48 citizens of Ipswich; a part of a medical self help

program. I mention this so I can publicly thank the Cable Hospital Staff for

their cooperation in this endeavor.

The Ipswich Auxiliary Police headed by Captain David Clements hascontinued to serve the town by augmenting the regular police department with

weekly patrol duty.

*Civil Defense Motto

COLLECTION-TREASURY DIVISIONGeorge C. Mourikas, Collector-Treasurer

The following bills were committed from the Assessor's for collection: RealEstate, Personal Property, Farm Animal Excise, and Motor Vehicle Excise.

A schedule of receipts were rendered to the Town Accountant, monthly.

A record of Trust Fund transactions were maintained.

All disbursements, both Town and School, were processed through thisoffice, and all receipts were deposited and faithfully recorded.

COMMUTER RAIL COMMITTEEJohn C. Vincent, Jr., Chairman

The Committee's principal responsibility is to advise the Board of Selectmen

and the Town Manager on matters relating to train service to the Town, and in

particular the contract with the MBTA under which such service is provided.

Article 43 was submitted to the May, 1976 Town Meeting to authorize the

continuance of the MBTA contract for 1976, and to appropriate a sum of

money to fund the contract. It was passed unanimously, and the amount of

$50,000 was appropriated.

The Town has been billed, and has paid $25,225.44 for train service for the

first half of 1976. In view of the State's assumption of 75% (rather than the

previous 50%) of the MBTA deficit, it is expected that the amount required for

service during the second half of 1976 will be substantially less.

The MBTA acquired the passenger rail assets and related rights of way of

the B&M as of the end of 1976. It is expected that State and federal funding

will become available under the State's Commuter Rail Improvement Program,

and that improvements in the form of rebuilt cars, roadbed and bridge

construction, and faster and more reliable service will be forthcoming.

CONSERVATION COMMISSIONSally Weatherall, Chairman

1976 was a year of planning by the Conservation Commission. With a great

deal of citizen help, we completed the Natural Resource Planning Program,begun the previous year with the Planning Advisory Committee of the Planning

Board, working under the U.S. Soil Conservation Service. The following

reports were written and are available to interested citizens: agriculture,

woodland, water, wetland and upland wildlife, recreation, urban and uniquefeatures. Recommendations were included in the reports and illustrated on a

map called "Land of Conservation Interest". Information on these reports will

be used in an Open Space/Recreation Plan required of the Self-Help programand the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, should the Town wish to seek State

and Federal funding for land acquisition.

One of the Commission's greatest achievements is its collection of Townmaps, all on a scale of 1000 ft. = l inch. This series of maps has provedinvaluable to us and to other town committees, as well as the Town Engineer.

They are catalogued in the Conservation Commission office on the second floor

of the Town Hall.

In May a sign was raised on the edge of the 77 acres purchased from the

Marini Farm on Linebrook Road, designating the site as "Town of IpswichConservation Land". The Marinis have leased back a portion of the property

for growing vegetables, thus fulfilling the purpose of preserving agricultural

land.

Of all the work of the Commission, the responsibility for the State "Dredgeand Fill" law, Ch. 131, Sec. 40, is the most demanding. There were elevenwetland hearings this year, more than double the number held in any year since

this responsibility was given to the Commission in 1972.

44

During the year the Commission was confronted with several environmental

problems. Along with the Selectmen and Representative Lane, the

Conservation Commission advised the Commissioner of Environmental Affairs

to refuse to accept the PCD environmental impact study which claimed that its

sewer disposal system would be harmless to the Dow watershed. The RowleyPlanning Board notified the Commission of a 450 unit proposed developmenton Prospect Hill. A portion of the land in the development lies in the Dowwatershed. The development lies adjacent to the PCD. Together these twodevelopments threaten an enormous environmental change to the northwestern

section of town.

The past year saw the resignation of several members due to lack of time.

One resignee noted that the Conservation Commission needs a Conservation

Officer to do the incredible amount of work that falls on Commission members.Three new members were appointed by the Town Manager in 1976: Carol

Grimes, Patti Hall and Raymond Hodgdon. One position remains to be filled.

The people of Ipswich have made it clear that they want the town to retain

its rural character. While Ipswich must grow, it does not have to explodehelplessly. The Commission will continue to work hard on its job of preserving

our natural resources. We invite anybody who wants to help us to join one of

our subcommittees.

1976 was one of progress in the area of dog control. The dog control problemis far from being solved but there has been vastly increased awareness andcooperation from dog owners.

A van has been purchased, painted and equipped to eliminate the problem of

transporting dogs. A police radio has been installed in my home. This has

improved communication and made me more available to answer anycomplaints at night and on weekends.

The Highway Department has installed new four inch pipe at the Dog Pound.This has facilitated routine cleaning and maintenance of the Dog Pound.

An- open forum meeting was held for dog owners having problems confining

their dogs.

I assisted a local Girl Scout Troop in earning a merit badge. The purposewas emergency First Aid and caring for a sick or injured domestic animal.

I sincerely thank you for your support and cooperation. I am looking forwardto the challange of further improving dog control in the community of Ipswich.

ECONOMIC AND INDUSTRIALDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION

Paul Beswick, Chairman

1976 has resulted to be a year where major progress has taken place for the

IDC.

Throughout 1976 several industries, both existing and prospective, have metwith the commission or it's chairman on matters concerning relocation,

expansion, or rearrangement of existing facilities.

A nationally known firm in the electronics industry seriously considered

locating a new plant in Ipswich.

In the Spring of 1976 the Industrial Park study funds were granted by the

Farmer's Home Administration through the office of OEDC in Gloucester. Thepark district is located off High Street between the Boston and Maine Railroad

tracks and Paradise Road. The park study was conducted by the engineering

firm of Whitman & Howard of Wellesley and was finished during December. Acopy of the park study is available at the Public Library and shows that

approximately 30 industrial sites are available in this region. The study includes

careful consideration of historical tradition, environmental considerations, andpublic works considerations.

Prior to the park study, suitability of this site was questionable. Today it

appears that the park study has cleared up uncertainties about suitability.

In November, 1976 early indications showed this park to be feasible, and

the IDC set about planning the next steps.

The IDC sees it's role of attracting ancf developing clean, light industry to

Ipswich in a way that will support the tax base, create jobs, while considering

the character and tradition of the community. The planned Industrial Parkmakes possible achieving such a goal in contrast to the random developmentsthat presently take place.

In 1976 the IDC began a much closer relationship with the Ipswich BayEconomic Development Company, a private group of industrially mindedbusiness and local citizens.

1977 promises considerable benefit to the Town in terms of the parkdevelopment, continuing to attract light industry, and working with existing

firms.

At the Annual Town Meeting the voters authorized the town to become a

member of the Massachusetts Municipal Wholesale Electric Company(MMWEC) and accepted Chapter 775 of the Acts of 1975. MMWEC provides

for joint ownership of electric power facilities, the construction and operation

of which will be sponsored by the cities and towns and investor owned powercompanies. This will allow Ipswich to obtain the advantages of bulk powersupply pooling with other towns through the operation of MMWEC and obtain

services in connection with bulk power supply.

ESSEX COUNTYMOSQUITO CONTROL PROJECT

Robert W. Spencer, Superintendent

The Essex County Mosquito Control Project organized in 1965 throughlegislative act serves nineteen communities in Essex County along with

Winthrop and Revere in Suffolk County.

In 1976 the two tractor-backhoe units owned by the project reclaimed 25,970

feet of fresh water streams while the tractor-scavel plow unit recut 24,345 feet

of salt marsh ditching. Another 7,040 feet of clogged brooks were cleaned

manually. Oftentimes, the overhanging brush must be removed from the stream

banks to accomodate the heavy equipment. In 1976 a total of 2,755 feet of

brushing was accomplished. The maintenance of ditching installed in previous

years is an ever increasing problem. During the past year, blockages and debris

were removed from 3000 feet of existing drainage systems.

One of the most important phases of the year-round control effort is the

chemical treatment of temporary woodland pools and other known breeding

sites which cannot be eliminated on a permanent basis. This requires the

application of an insecticide dust to the surface of the ice during the winter

months and a liquid material to the surface of the water upon the arrival of

spring when the mosquito larvae begin to hatch from overwintering eggs. Over1000 acres were thus treated in Essex County during 1976.

During the period from June 1 to Labor Day, the active mosquito season, the

project conducts a spray program to reduce the number of biting insects. Theolder method of thermal aerosol fogging with insecticide and fuel oil has beendiscarded in favor of a more effective system known as ULV (Ultra LowVolume). Truck mounted units travelling at twelve miles per, hour dispense an

undiluted pesticide at the rate of four ounces per minute in minute droplets

which are carried hundreds of feet by the air stream created by the spray

machine and natural movement of the atmosphere. The per acre dosage under

the ULV system amounts to one-half ounce of insecticide per acre treated as

opposed to the old method, the ULV application enables much greater

coverage in a given time period. While the spray program is more effective andless expensive it presents one disadvantage. The minute particles of spray

material are often times invisible as discharged from the machine, triggering

calls from a good number of residents reporting the trucks passing their homeswith the sprayer shut off.

Another phase of the mosquito control program which was started a year agowas expanded in 1976. That was the treatment of the catchbasins in the several

cities and heavier populated towns. The material used was a highly refined

petroleum known commercially as Flit M-L-O.

The summer of 1976 was by far the best year yet experienced by the

mosquito control project from the standpoint of total mosquito population. Weknow that our program over the years is gradually reducing the mosquitonuisance, but once in a while we experience a season when climatic conditions

are unsuitable for widespread mosquito breeding. Such was the situation in

1976 not only in Essex County, but along the entire East Coast of the United

States. Some say that a severely cold winter will adversely affect mosquito

production. If this is so, perhaps mother nature will assist us again in 1977.

FIRE STATION COMMITTEEMerle Pimentel, Chairman

The Committee was appointed by the Selectmen for the purpose of studying

the need for a fire station in outer Linebrook and to come up with a

recommendation to the Town.

After looking at the available sites to build a new station and looking at the

Rust building, which is already there, the committee has decided to recommendto the town that they purchase the Rust building. The committee has asked the

Town Manager to study the various possibilities of staffing the building for a

fire station. An article will be placed on the town meeting warrant for May.

FIRE DEPARTMENTMelvin Bowen, Acting Chief

There were several large and serious fires this Year. Due to a new anddifferent Civil Service Exam, the town lost four good firefighters with a total of

17 years experience. They were replaced by five new men who seem to be

doing a very creditable job. A new Forestry Truck was ordered this year andshould be delivered in late July. The present personnel compliment consists of:

Permanent force

3 Captains

GOVERNMENT STUDY COMMITTEEIrving G. Small, Chairman

The Committee held four formal meetings during the calendar year, one each

in March, April, October and November.

At each of our meetings, we considered the question 8 referred to us by the

Board of Selectmen — of whether the Town should abandon the traditional

"open town meeting" and accept the "representative town meeting" form of

government. To assist us in our deliberations, our member, Mr. Jacob M.Israelsohn, secured extensive research material on the subject from the files of

the Massachusetts League of Cities and Towns. The consensus developed fromour discussions was that Ipswich ought not to move at this time to adopt the

"representative town meeting"; that, unless to accomodate in the meeting hall

all voters who wish to attend, the "open town meeting" is the preferable formfor Ipswich.

Our meeting of November 10, 1976 was a public hearing held in the

Auditorium of the Electric Department Building on High Street. We scheduled

such a meeting, intending to afford to town officials and to members of the

public at large an opportunity to comment on the issue of "open" versus

"representative" town meetings. No town officer appeared at the hearing; andthe only member of the public to appear was opposed to our adoption of the

"representative town meeting". The Committee then concluded its

deliberations on the question and voted (4-1) that the Chairman report to the

Board of Selectmen our opposition to the adoption of the "representative townmeeting" in Ipswich. The Chairman has so advised the Chairman of the Boardof Selectmen.

The Committee held its organizational meeting for fiscal year 1977 onOctober 26, 1976, on which occasion Mr. Irving G. Small was re-elected

Chairman and Mr. Jacob M. Israelsohn was elected vice-chairman.

GROWTH POLICY COMMITTEEGeorge Mathey, Chairman

As provided for in the Massachusetts Growth Policy Development Act,

Chapter 807 of the Acts of 1975, the Ipswich Growth Policy Committee wasappointed in January, 1976. Five of the ten members required by the Act were

mandated by that Act to be the chairmen of the Board of Selecmen, Planning

Board, Conservation Commission, Housing Authority, and Board of Health or

their designees.

As intended by the Act, the Committee evaluated the effects of past growth

and development patterns, attempted to formulate future growth anddevelopment goals, and to identify areas of critical planning concern, including

the interaction between population, commercial and industrial growth,preservation of historical resources, such as our many 17th and 18th century

houses, marshes and wetlands, beaches and dunes, flood plains, watersheds,

agricultural lands, forests and open land, property taxes, water supply, zoning

and housing needs, as well as how all of these are affected by activities of state

agencies, of neighboring cities and towns, of the region and vice versa.

50

In accordance with the provisions of the Act the Committee held two public

hearings, one to receive any citizen input prior to preparing a tentative

statement of Growth Problems and Priorities and the other for further citizen

input and reaction to the Tentative Statement. On July 15, 1976, within the

time allotted by the statute, a final Local Statement was submitted to the

regional planning agency, in our case the Metropolitan Area Council, which in

turn has held hearings (attended by members of the Committee) and prepared

its report, a compilation of the statements submitted by all in the region. Eachregional planning agency's, statement has been submitted to the Office of State

Planning, which will summarize all material submitted to it and ultimately

recommend to the General Court and the Governor, standards, criteria,

approaches and strategies for future growth in the Commonwealth.

Copies of the Ipswich and Regional Growth Policy Statements are available

in the Library.

HARBORSPeter S. George, Harbormaster

The year 1976 was a good boating year for the Town which saw us throughwith no accidents.

All areas were patrolled, and as in past years, the Registry of MarineRecreational Vehicles assisted me. Numerous citations were issued and wereprosecuted in court.

Considerable work was done on the mooring program, which we have madeour main issue. Warning and citations were issued on these, and the stubborn

cases are going to court, and will be prosecuted.

On several occassions, the Harbor Department was called out for Search andRescue missions. At one time a massive sea and land search, including tracking

dogs, was conducted for a senior citizen who had been missing from a nursing

home for twenty six hours. The citizen was found near the waters' edge.

A marine two-way V.H.F. radio was purchased and enabled me to be in

contact with many boats in distress.

A course was taken in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation which qualifies me to

perform C.P.R. on a victim.

With the cooperation of the Public Works and Electric Departments, the

floats and ramp were put in the water and hauled out again for storage andrepair for next season.

51

BOARD OF HEALTHEdwin N. Bronk, Agent

In 1976 the following number of permits were issued:

Plumbing Permits 144

Gas Permits 1 1

1

Burial Permits 89

Permits were also issued for milk, restaurant operation, ice creammanufacture, etc.

Between March 1 and April 30, 1976, a total of 85 percolation and groundwater tests were conducted, resulting in the approval of 74 sites for

construction installation of septic systems and the disapproval of 11 sites not

meeting the standards of Article XI of the State Sanitary Code.

Clinics held in 1976:

Rabies Clinic (May) 230 immunizationsInfluenza Clinic (Swine Flu) see below

A Federal Government sponsored Influenza Clinic was conducted at the

Cable Memorial Hospital and the Caldwell Nursing Home in October, 1976,

with 1,405 persons participating.

The Bi-Valent vaccine (Swine Flu and Victoria "A") was administered to

persons over 65 years of age and all persons with chronic illnesses as

requested. The Mene-Valent (Swine Flu only) vaccine was administered to all

other persons as requested.

The Well-Child Clinic is held on the first Monday of each month at the

Winthrop School between the hours of 3:00 and 4:00 p.m. The clinic is

operated for pre-schoolers only, offering medical examinations and the

administering of immunizations for which no fee is charged. This clinic will

continue to operate until June, 1977 when it will be discontinued due to

non-participation of those eligible. This may be partially due to a decrease in

the population of pre-school children and the choice of many families to

consult private physicians.

A continuing inspection program was conducted during 1976. Program of

house paint was for those whose children are thought to be affected by LeadPaint.

A total of 4,300 units of biologies (including polio, tetanus, typhoid, measles,

mumps, rubella, globulin, etc.) were distributed to local doctors and the

hospital.

The Recycling Center, located at the Town Garage Area on County Road, is

maintained five days a week from 8:00 to 4:00 p.m., and handles paper, glass

and metal.

Rubbish and garbage will NOT be picked up on the following holidays:

New Year's Day January 1

Memorial Day Last Monday in MayIndependence Day July 4

Labor Day First Monday in SeptemberThanksgiving Last Thursday in NovemberChristmas December 25

During the holiday week, rubbish and garbage will be picked up the day after

the normal pick-up day.

52

THE HISTORICAL COMMISSIONJohn F. Conley, Chairman

The Historical Commission was involved during the first part of 1976 with

the preparation of an application for a Community Development Block Grant

on behalf of the Town. David Johnson, the technical representative from the

U.S. Department of H.U.D., had recommended that the Commission's work in

preservation as reported in "Something to Preserve" be used as a basis for an

application for a grant that would be used primarily in the rehabilitation of

some of the Town's historic homes. The application was prepared by Paul

McGinley, and the sum of $100,000 was awarded to the Town in July. TheCommission appointed Frank Houde as Project Director, and the preliminary

background work was underway before the end of the year. Part of the Grant

is to be devoted to a demonstration project of improvement of an historic area

with landscaping etc. The Commission has chosen a portion of North Main St.,

with the work to be done in the spring of 1977.

An application for a second Community Development Block Grant was being

prepared at the close of the year.

During the past several months, the Commission has been bringing to a

conclusion its earlier Pilot Demonstration Project funded equally by H.U.D.and the Ipswich Heritage Trust. The owners of six more homes of architectural

and historic importance have accepted Preservation Agreements with the

Historical Commission. They are as follows:

Mr. and Mrs. Conant H. Barton 53 Candlewood RoadMrs. Anne Cowles 37 High Street

Mr. and Mrs. Donald B. Fouser 19 North Main Street

Dr. and Mrs. Thomas Moscarillo 57 South Village GreenMr. and Mrs. Leonard H. Oakes 60 North Main Street

Mrs. Starr Ockenga Oury 53 Turkey Shore Road

The continued sales of the Project report, "Something to Preserve", havebeen most gratifying since there have been requests from all parts of the

country and Canada.

The regular work of the Commission — the maintenance of the plaques andcorrespondence — has been carried on as usual.

It was with great sorrow that the Commission learned of the death of DavidJohnson of the H.U.D. office in Washington. Our Pilot Demonstration Project

at first was one of his routine responsibilities, but he came to care very muchfor our Town and its heritage of historic homes. He was a friend of Ipswich,and we shall miss him.

IPSWICH HOUSING AUTHORITY(Miss) Jane Bokron - Executive Director

Mr. Stanley Eustace - Chairman

The Ipswich Housing Authority currently administers three (3) PROJECTSnamely; (24 Low Income Family Units-Veterans Project 200-1). .(20 elderly

units at Southern Manor-667-C2)..(100 elderly units at CarolineAvenue-667-C2)..(80 Rent Subsidy scattered housing units-707)

The proposed elderly and family housing. .94 units. (80 elderly and 14

family)..The Contract for Financial Assistance for Project 667-4 and 705-1 wasapproved and monies of $2,350,000.00 were received on March 12, 1976.

Ground breaking scheduled for May 1976 is still pending. Signing ofConstruction Contract with Coronis Construction Co. has been scheduled for

February 18, 1977.

PROJECT 200-1 (Veterans Low Income Family) These 24 units of 1-2-3-4

bedrooms were built 1950. Each has its own gas furnace, gas stove and gas hot

water tank. The average shelter rent is $88.00 per month. Much has been doneto improve these units during the last five years. Improvements are as follows:

All 7 buildings were re-roofed. IHA gave the Town of Ipswich $45,000 to the

Municipal Sewer System. Installed new sinks and formica counter tops in all

apartments, new kitchen floors, new bathroom tile floors, new electric fixtures

in kitchens, painted 15 of the 25 apartments completely, installed new hot

water heaters, new heating units for the 2-4 bedroom apartments, new uniform

Colonial mail boxes, new wrought iron hand rails, a children's bus shelter, fire

extinguishers in all apartments, new water shut offs, including mains, new solid

wood exterior doors plus many combination doors, showers installed (there

were none there), splash blocks installed at each down spout, stalled speedbumps, new outside sill cocks, new formica around bathtub areas and manyother improvements, (such as a Summer Program for the little children (include

were free lunches daily.)

PROJECTS 667-C2..(120 elderly units) The 20 elderly units at SouthernManor are heated by gas. The exterior of all units was painted during the past

year. Shelter rent is $62.00 per month. The 100 elderly units on Caroline

Avenue are electrically heated. The shelter rent is $81.00 per month. Many of

these units were completely painted in oyster white scrubable paint. 15

passenger Mini-Bus has been ordered for the Elderly.

RENT SUBSIDY UNITS. .77 for PROJECT 707... Rent Subsidy provides

subsidies for low income families, including elderly and disabled persons. It

allows the Authority to rent privately owned apartments and pay a rent

supplement to make up the difference in the agreed totaly monthly rent. This

program has helped landlords improve conditions in their apartments, thereby

preventing slums. During 1976 IHA paid a total of $87,846.00 to private

landlords for these units. The average rent subsidy tenants paid was $77.00 per

month, while the IHA paid an average of $95.00 per month to landlords for

1-2-3-4 bedroom units.

HOT LUNCH PROGRAM.. This highly successful congregate dining

program was started February 25, 1975 and has been increased from 50 to 75

daily hot lunches for Caroline Avenue, Southern Manor and many elderly

citizens of The Commonwealth. Ethnic Hot Lunches for the past year were:

Polish Day, Greek Day and All American Day. Meals on Wheels Hot Lunchesare delivered to many shut ins 5 days a week.

54

WHITTIER-MANOR CLUB (Elderly) This social group of elderly tenants

from Southern Manor and Caroline Avenue are most active daily and meet the

first Wednesday of each month. Under the presidency of Percy Cheverie they

have made donations of $525.00 during 1976, namely $100 each to Jaws of Life,

Cable Hospital Drive, Council of Ageing, Salvation Army and smaller

donations to other agencies. They have donated a new piano and a 16 mmMovie Projector (with sound) to the IHA. We are very proud of all of our

elderly tenants and wish them all Good Health and Much Happiness for 1977.

There were 6 deaths in the elderly projects. To their families, we extend our

most sincere sympathy.

PUBLIC LIBRARYEleanor M. Crowley, Librarian

In October of 1976 a record was set for borrowing activity at the Library as

9,929 items were charged from the library's collections by patrons. Similar

record-breaking peaks of activity were noted for the summer months, reflecting

a high rate of recreational reading — nearly 60% of total circulation. Astatistical summary and comparison may be found at the end of this report.

(Books only.)

With the addition of 2,889 new titles in 1976, the library's total collection

exceeds 55,000 volumes, many of which have been transferred to inactive

housing in the attic due to the extreme shortage of space in the building. Over50% of the residents are holders of library cards; 682*new cards weredistributed in 1976. Reference transactions and questions handled throughout

the year accounted for 20,663 consultations within the collection; an average of

3,773 persons per month used the library.

The Bicentennial year was marked by an exhibit of Revolutionary documentsand manuscripts and a presentation by "Ipswich Speaks" of John Updike's "AGood Place", a sound/slide program narrated by the author.

Film programs and story hours for children continue to attract manyyoungsters. Library programming for adults sponsored by the Friends of the

Library was highlighted by a musical program by the Bowfort Ensemble and a

Polish papercutting demonstration. The valued support and interest of the

Friends is a continuing asset to the Library.

A Federal Grant in the amount of $8,663 was awarded the Library in late

1976 under the Library Services and Construction Act for a demonstrationproject designed to assist people in the area of employment opportunity. TheNewburyport office of the Massachusetts Division of Employment Security

established a "mini-office" for the job-seaker; early in 1977 the Library will

make, their daily job listings available to the community, along with otheraudiovisual materials and programs relating to job hunting and employmentopportunities.

In late summer, the Board of Library Trustees named the architectural firm

of Anderson, Notter & Finegold to develop plans to the extent necessary to

apply for 100% funding of a $729,000, 6,000 square foot addition to the library

under the Public Works Construction Act of 1976. In the closing weeks of the

55

year, word was received that the project was not selected for funding. TheBoard voted to continue work on this sorely needed project in anticipation ofadditional funding at a later date.

The Board accepted the registration in September of Judge Thomas A.Johnson, and welcomed Hubert A. Johnson, a publishing executive, to fill the

vacancy created.

PLANNING BOARDGeorge H.W. Hayes II, Chairman

During the past year the Planning Board has continued to review numerousplans submitted to it for "Planning Board Approval Not Required

,,and

answered inquiries from citizens regarding zoning questions and problems.

We have also taken specific action in regard to several developments in the

community, namely: the completion of the Herrick Drive Development off

Linebrook Road, the approval of the subdivision plan for the Margaret Reid

subdivision off Argilla Road, the recision of the Woodland Conservators Co.

Inc. subdivision plan for Heartbreak Hill.

The major taking concerning the revision of the entire zoning by laws wascommenced during the Fall months with the assistance of the firm of Metcalf &Eddy as planning consultants. This project is being done in connection with the

Massachusetts Zoning Enabling Act which will go into effect by operation of

law on June 30, 1978.

In order to comply with the requirements noted therein, we determined that

the above mentioned revision of the town zoning bylaw was the best approachto take. Using the material collected by the PAC and the ConservationCommission, along with the opinion of the citizens of the Town regarding their

desire to keep Ipswich as rural as possible, we hope to be able to present to

the annual town meeting in May a comprehensive and acceptable zoning bylawfor approval.

POLICE STATION STUDY COMMITTEEGeorge Mathey, Chairman

Since its formation by vote of this past Fall's Special Town Meeting, the

Police Station Committee has:

(1) become familiar with the present facilities;

(2) toured existing facilities in Andover, Boxford, Manchester, and NorthReading;

(3) reviewed recommendations of the National Clearing House of Criminal

Justice;

(4) determined that the present police station facilities are inadequate andoutdated by any nationally recognized standards and that they cannotprotect the rights of individuals having business with the police or the

public which uses the Town Hall intensively or of the police

themselves;

(5) decided, therefore, that some form of new or remodeled facility at

minimum cost must be provided;

(6)agreed on a minimum program which delineates immediate needs but

which can be easily expanded in the future to meet additional demands;

57

(7) viewed and considered town and privately owned sites which might besuitable for a new facility and decided that for budgetary reasons only

the former can be realistically considered;

(8) examined existing town owned structures which could be remodeledfor such a use;

(9) reviewed past proposals for renovations to the Town Hall and Annex;

(10) arrived at preliminary budgets for providing minimum but adequatefacilities in either a new or existing structure;

(11) received from the Town Manager a survey of the physical and humanneeds of all town departments and judicial function offices presently

located in the Town Hall and Annex so that if it is decided to locate

police facilities in one or the other of these structures a sensible,

logical, efficient and economical arrangement of spaces can beprovided which will suit not only the Police Department but all others

involved;

(12) agreed to present recommendations to the 1977 Annual TownMeeting.

POLICE DEPARTMENTArm and R. Brouillette, Chief

The Police Department answered 9654 service connected complaints andcovered 506 traffic accidents in which 110 persons were injured,- four of themfatally. The Department served 1033 summonses for this and other courts, 113

warrants, issued 487 traffic citations, and 700 parking tickets for which $2116was turned back to the Town. Other fines returned to the Town $3,586.

The Department is staffed with 21 officers and one parttime clerk. Weoperate three marked cruisers and one unmarked Inspector's car. Thesevehicles traveled well over 200,000 miles patrolling the Town.

Last year the Chairman of the Selectmen asked the Meeting to appoint a

Police Station Building Study Committee. This was done and a report will be

forthcoming from that committee. The physical plant has not had any repair or

remodeling for several years and is totally inadequate for the police function. I

feel that the Department is adequately staffed for the coming year provided a

proposed re-organization of the court system does not take effect.

Below is a list of selected activities covering the last four years.

FORESTRY DIVISIONCharles Foley, Forman

Combating the Dutch Elm disease continues to be a major project for this

division. Approximately 126 Dutch Elm diseased or beetle infested trees wereremoved this year. A new program has been started by the Elm ResearchInstitute. This is to try to control the Dutch Elm disease by injecting Elm trees

with Lignasan BLP, a new treatment to kill fungus. Three injectors have beenpurchased and the injecting has been done by our Forestry crew to

approximately 40 trees this year. (The Ipswich Garden Club has also purchasedone of these injectors)

Mosquito spraying was done for a 13 week period to all areas of the town.

Spraying was scheduled for four nights each week, which seemed to be very

successful.

Other spraying this year included a dormant spray and 2 leaf sprays. Also a

spray for fall web worms was used in August.

The Forestry division planted 75 Maple trees and an assortment of 175 other

trees around town. Again this year, 350 trees were distributed to all 1st graders

during Arbor Day ceremonies.

Other work consisted of trimming and pruning trees, mowing sides of roads

and removing hanging limbs after snow and rain storms.

A new 1977 Chevrolet dump truck was purchased this year along with a 1976

Micro-Geri mosquito sprayer.

EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE DIVISION

This division is charged with the maintenance and repairs of the Highway &Forestry divisions' vehicles. At present there are 30 pieces of motorizedequipment. Each piece of equipment must be kept in top condition to insure

it's availability when needed. Statistical records of all vehicles expenses are

maintained at the Public Works Administration office.

BUILDING MAINTENANCE DIVISION

Two coats of paint were applied to the exterior of the Town Hall and the

trim was painted on the Annex.Both buildings were routinely maintained and an effort was made to

economize on maintenance materials by bulk purchases.

SNOW & ICE DIVISION

The Public Works divisions combined their efforts during the winter months.

Work consisted of plowing roads, sanding, salting, hauling snow, filling sand

barrels, clearing catchbasins and answering miscellaneous complaints.Personnel who assisted the Public Works Department during the height of the

snow storms were from the following Departments: Cemetery, Electric, Parks,

Sewer and Water. Also, services of 17 private contractors were used.

60

RECREATION and PARKS DEPARTMENTJames H. Daly, Director

RECREATION — In keeping with past policy, nine playgrounds in all

sections of Town were staffed and organized programs of sports activities, arts

and crafts and special events were carried out during the eight week programduring July and August. The special events included hula hoop and frisbee

contests that qualified Ipswich youngsters for both regional and sectional

competition. Hoops and frisbees were made available by the sponsoringcompanies at no cost to the Town.

Popular were outings via busses to the Crane Castle grounds and the beach,

to Benson's Animal Farm and to Canobie Lake amusement park. Visiting

Ipswich were the Little Red Wagon theatre group from New Hampshire and

the Zoomobile out of Boston.

Two tennis tourneys were conducted in conjunction with National TennisWeek and the local training program. Close to 400 children and adults

participated in the tennis instruction program that encompassed all age groups.

Twilight instructions for working adults were well attended.

Slightly over 600 youngsters made up the swim instruction program that wascarried out at the Don Bosco pool. Because of the large turnout, the programwas extended from eight weeks to ten weeks and double sessions (morning andearly evening) were the rule rather than the exception. The instructions

covered beginners through senior life saving. An increase in the number of

participants is expected again this year. Youngsters are picked up and returned

to the various playgrounds by bus which is made available during the summermonths by the School Department.

Two Pony League Baseball teams were sponsored involving boys betweenthe ages of 13 and 16. Managing, coaching and transportation personnel wereall volunteers. Both Ipswich entries enjoyed highly successful seasons in the

eight team Intertown League. Managers were Frank Rose and Joseph Navarro.

Your Recreation Department was most active in organizing and carrying out

the annual Marathon races in conjunction with Olde Ipswich Days week long

activities. Co-sponsors last summer and for the foreseeable future was the local

V.F.W. and it's Auxiliary which made all their facilities available and provided

food and drink to all following the races. Prizes to the winners were provided

by the V.F.W. and the Town.

The Recreation Department also organized golf instructions for all age groupsat the Candlewood course and ballroom dance instruction for women'sSlimnastics in the Memorial Building. Basketball programs for all age groupswere conducted throughout the winter months at several locations on nights

and Saturdays.

Assistance with their special projects, functions and day trips was providedto the Golden Age Club whose membership has grown to 444 senior citizens.

Highlight activities include their annual picnic, Christmas party, Installation

banquet, and a dinner show at Romie's in Danvers. Arthur Goodfellow will beconcluding his two year term as President in April. He reminds that all Ipswichsenior citizens 60 years of age or over are welcome to join the activities.

Beyond the regular programs and activities mentioned, the Departmentcooperates with Little League, the Elementary Girls softball program, twomen's Softball leagues, and the Chiefs baseball team in scheduling the use of

61

playing fields, with the Park crews maintaining them. At present there are 13

active ballfields within the community. Certain facilities at LaSalette, DonBosco and Notre Dame are annually made available to the RecreationDepartment. Cooperation is also forthcoming from the School Department in

the periodic use of their athletic facilities. The Ipswich Fish & Game Club andWilliam Rust as the new owner of the 60 Newbury Restaurant both madeseveral acres of land available for playground use at no cost to the Town.

PARKS — Three permanent employees make up the maintenance crewwhich is increased to 12 during the peak seasons of late spring, summer andearly fall. They are charged with the care of 13 ballfields, 9 playgrounds, 8

tennis courts and all the Town-owned lawns within the community with the

exception of the cemeteries and certain school areas. Winter months, the

regular crew is busied with repairing and redecorating equipment andmaintenance of the Memorial Building. Barbara Robishaw serves as permanent,part time secretary. Meetings are set for the first Wednesday of each month at

7:00 p.m. in the Memorial Building.

SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLSJohn H. Stella

The cost of operating the schools has approached a level which can nolonger be supported by the tax, which has historically been the tax base for

public education the property tax.

In the meantime, it is our responsibility to operate the Ipswich Public

Schools and administer a meaningful educational program for our students.

We have been notified that our Chapter 70 reimbursements will decrease

substantially next year and this depressing fact will add a financial strain on the

already burdened taxpayer.

Cost analysis, cost controls, cost savings, and bulk purchasing have beenimplemented and have become part of the responsibility for all aspects of the

operation of our schools. Mr. Chester Buras, Business Manager, has played a

major role in this process. He has also developed a new budget format — a

modified program budget which breaks down costs and specifically shows per

pupil costs in the various educational program areas.

64

While we are making every effort to control costs, inflation keeps rearing its

ugly head.

Enrollments continue to decrease. On October 1, 1975, the K-12 enrollment

was 2454. On October 1, 1976, the K-12 enrollment was 2326, a loss of 128

students. For three consecutive years, we have experienced a declining

enrollment.

During the past year, the School Committee phased out the Baptist Church

basement area and Boone Hall as public school facilities. Approximately 84

children were transferred to Doyon School

Reduction in force became a new phenomenon this past year and after muchstudy and analysis the School Committee, upon recommendation of the

administration, authorized the following reductions in force!

Budget Items for Deletion Approximate Savings

Rent at Boone $ 9,000.00

Rent at Baptist 4,300.00

Telephone and Fire Phone — Baptist 426.00

Telephone at Boone 303.00

Reduction in Force (Others) 12,022.00

Recommended Budget Items for Deletion 14,804.00

Prand Total $122,925.00

The staff assessment at all levels continues and at the present time the

School Committee has authorized 3.5 professional staff positions be reduced.

On October 1, 1976, Ipswich students enrolled in the Whittier Regional

Vocational Technical High School totalled 136.

The reports from the Principals of the schools and the Supervisors list the

accomplishments of the last year and the progress of the school.

I extend to the members of the School Committee my sincere appreciation

for the many hours they spend for Ipswich education.

I extend to the Administrators, Teachers, Custodians, Secretaries, Cafeteria

workers and all others, my sincere appreciation for their excellent cooperation.

Finally, I extend to the Board of Selectmen, Town Manager, Police, Highway,Fire Department, and other Town Officials, my sincere appreciation for their

excellent cooperation with the schools.

William E. Waitt, Jr., Principal

The drop in school enrollment has been the most outstanding event of this

past year.

In January enrollment was 472, by June we were down to 460 pupils. Duringthe summer 85 students were transferred to Doyon from Burley and Shatswell

Schools in order to close the Baptist and Boone Hall facilities. In Septemberwe expected 535 students. Because of a number of transfers out of town only

488 children enrolled.

66

Organization

We continue to be the only school that houses seven grades with three

sections (classrooms) of each grade — kindergarten through sixth grades. Theschool is also serviced by three learning centers and an L. D. reading teacher

for students with special needs as required under Chapter 766.

Curriculum

Doyon provides a standard curriculum as required with emphasis placed on

basic skills of Reading, Mathematics and the Language Arts. In addition,

instruction is provided in Science, Social Studies, Physical Education, Art,

Vocal Music, and Instrumental Music.

Emphasis continues on good school citizenship and respect for others.

Personnel

Doyon has a staff of 36 full and part time professionals including 22 tenure

teachers and 4 tenure candidates.

A service staff of 18 includes 7 kitchen employees, 3 teacher aides, 3 lunch

part time aides, 2 full time custodians, 1 part time custodian, a part time nurse,

and a school secretary.

In June, Mrs. Mary Bamford completed 35 years of service and Mrs. Doris

Grose ended her 15 years as our efficient secretary. Both were surprised by a

retirement party given by the staff of Doyon School and was attended by over

350 friends. Their services and loyalty were greatly appreciated by this

administration.

HIGH SCHOOLJoseph R. Rogers, Principal

Enrollment as of October 1, 1976 — 656

Our enrollment is remaining somewhat constant. Little or no growth in

Ipswich reflects in our school population. As our enrollment is reduced,commensurately our staff is being reduced and we are combining courseofferings, or alternating them on a yearly basis. Greater emphasis is beingplaced on career education, career awareness and pupil exposure to the worldof work.

Federal funding has provided us with monies to expand our offering in

Science and Social Studies.

Our I.E. C. A. P. Program, Ipswich Environmental-Civic Action Project, hasadded a new dimension to students involvement in studying civic andenvironmental problems.

Accountability is a new byword . . . We are responding to the requests bySchool Committee, and the public, by adding a testing program and making oursuccesses and failures open to the public.

67

The building, after 14 years of use, is showing signs of wear. The facility is

used eleven months of the year, and during the regular school session the

facilities are open from 7:30 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. The community is getting full

use of the high school.

Curriculum adjustments have been made to accomodate recommendationsmade by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. However,changes in the physical facility which were recommended ten years ago, andagain this past year, have not been done, and signs indicate that they will be

delayed indefinitely. We are still in dire need of an addition to our library. Ouryoungsters are being denied the use of this vital area in our school because of

inadequate space. We cannot accomodate 10% of the school's population at

any given time.

In conclusion I must state that, while we are sadly lacking in physical

facility, we are providing our youth with the best possible education. This is

being accomplished by a group of sincere, hard working and dedicated staff

members.

The schools are yours and we invite you to visit and share with us the

experience of educating your children.

RALPH C. WHIPPLEMEMORIAL SCHOOL

John E. Huttuen, Principal

Enrollment

The enrollment figures for the 1976-1977 school year are as follows:

Grade 7 226Grade 8 215

441 TOTAL

Programs and courses

In accordance with the regulations established by Chapter 622 of the state

laws, all our courses have been put on a coeducational basis. Last year webegan phasing in our courses to meet these requirements. Now all are

operating in full accordance with the laws. The major changes occurred in

home economics, shop and physical education.

We are pleased to report that the transition was smooth and that student

enthusiasm has been very high.

Math Lab

Our math lab continues to function fairly well. A major problem has been

created because Title I monies are no longer available to hire a full time aide to

work with the students. Some of the slack has been taken up by utilizing

volunteer parent aides and students during a portion of each day. However, the

lab is not covered or utilized at a hundred percent efficiency due to the lack of

a full time aide.

68

Buildings and Grounds

During this school year maintenance projects were kept to a minimum due to

the fact that only "six thousand eight hundred and twenty five dollars were

appropriated for regular and emergency maintenance. The major thrust was to

complete needed projects in the other schools of Ipswich either through the

regular budget or through bonding.

The two main projects carried out in our school were the painting of the

front foyer and replacing shades in some of the classrooms.

Hopefully, the forth coming budget will have adequate monies included to

replace lights, paint, replace windows, replace lockers, replace exit doors, etc.

The school was opened in 1936 and much of the needed work is the result of

age, heavy use, and impossibility of finding replacement parts.

WINTHROP SCHOOLSamuel B. Levy, Principal

The Winthrop School houses four classes of grade four, five of grade five

and five classes of grade six. At the end of the year Winthrop had 339

students. The Winthrop School Resource Center includes a well stocked library

with reference works, general reading materials and film, audio and visual

materials library for use by individuals, group or entire classroom work. Ashared librarian and a large corps of dedicated volunteer workers supervise the

center's operation.

The school day is 6 hours and 15 minutes. Class "A" lunches are served in

the school cafeteria. Bus transportation is provided for one-half of the student

body.

The school provides a standard elementary school curriculum with a flexible

structure. To enliven the students' interest in their education and environmentimaginative and innovative approaches are employed. A recent addition in this

regard is the use of I.E.C.A.P. the Ipswich Environmental Civic ActionProject. Specialists operate in the areas of art, music and physical education.

Instrumental music lessons are provided and a chorus meets weekly. There is a

Grade Four Beginning Band and a Grade Five-Six disabilities and speechtherapy. A title I ESEA Project provides for a Director and trained teacher

aides to work in the areas of remedial reading and mathematics. The Title I

Parents Advisory Council is an active and important part of the project. TheWinthrop Parents Advisory Council is an active and interesting part of the

school program.

In addition to the classroom teachers, the staff includes vocal music,instrumental music and art specialists, a full-time physical education teacher, a

part-time librarian, two full-time learning disabilities specialists, a part-time

guidance counselor, a full-time guidance counselor, a consulting psychologist, a

part-time speech therapist and a part-time occupational therapist. A nurse, a

secretary, two full-time custodians, three cafeteria workers and threelunchroom aides complete the staff.

69

Many of the staff members are actively engaged in post graduate work and in

area committees and boards in various areas of education, guidance andenvironmental activities. The entire staff is involved in scheduled workshops in

the area of curriculum development in the various disciplines.

Many civic, private and church groups avail themselves of the opportunities

to use our facilities and equipment after school, evenings and on weekends.During the entire year, including the summer, our kitchen facilites were used in

preparing meals for our senior citizens.

Classes are self contained. Children have classes each week with Art Musicand Physical Education specialists. Stress is being placed on individualized anddifferentiated instruction while integrating the curriculum.

Much communication between the home and the school is accomplished. Weare happy with the amount and nature of exchange which takes place at ourParent Advisory Council Meetings. Many parents volunteer their time to workin the classrooms and our libraries. We feel our parent-teacher conferenceswhich take place at least twice during the school year are very beneficial.

Development in basic skills, problem solving, responsibility and creativity

are being stressed. We are proud to see the growth being made by students in

working in a manner which is productive for them while allowing others to

work effectively also.

DIRECTOR OF CURRICULUMLyn Huttunen

Assessment and curriculum refinement based on careful research andevaluation was a major activity this year. Some of the results of this effort

toward obtaining the best educational tools and methodology for the children of

Ipswich can be observed through accomplishments such as the following:

a. Our four years of work in the area of Language Arts and Mathematics has

yielded a systematic approach to teaching these basic skills, grades K-8,

with a record keeping system that has received national attention. TheAssociation for Supervision and Curriculum Development will display our

Language Arts and Mathematics Objectives and Record Cards at the annual

conference to be held in Houston in March, 1977.

b. Career Day Fairs and learning activities to promote awareness of jobopportunities continued as a major thrust in grades k-12. Members of the

community have demonstrated support and provided assistance throughparticipating in our local Manpower Survey, by speaking to students onspecific careers, and by serving on advisory committees.

c. New strides were made in the area of science as our Ipswich Environmentaland Civic Action Project engaged students and teachers in many in-depth

projects and activities at the High School through June of 1976 and then

expanded to include students and teachers from kindergarten through grade

12 during the current school year.

d. In order to comply with the recent legislation guaranteeing equal rights to all

persons, awareness and assessment workshops were held for all staff

members with appropriate changes resulting in course offerings, athletic

opportunities, and curriculum guides.

In order to supplement local budgetary commitments and to promoteindividualized instruction based on expressed needs, teachers andadministrators expended a great deal of effort to complete for federal monies.Grants were awarded to Ipswich for projects as follows:

a. Under Title I, ESEA, we received two awards for a total of $26,040.00 to beutilized in the basic skill areas of reading and mathematics, grades 3-6.

b. Under Title II, ESEA, our guarantee of local support in the area of library

and media has provided us with an additional $1,509.28 to be utilized in theJunior High School Library.

c. Under Title III, NDEA, a project grant of $4,628.50 has provided us withmaterials and equipment to utilize in the High School MathematicsLaboratory.

The preceding accomplishments are only part of our continuous work in

curriculum development. For the many dedicated educators, students andmembers of the community currently serving on curriculum sub-committeesand in-service task forces, I can only express simple appreciation for this

combined effort toward quality education.

PUPIL PERSONNEL SERVICESJoseph J. Battaglio, Director

Despite the decline in births nationally with corresponding reductions in

school enrollments, the incidence of school children identified as learning

handicapped has risen drastically. In Ipswich, because of a long-standingcommitment, the increase has not been dramatic. Still, the number of pupils in

special needs programs rose form a pre-Ch. 766 figure of 264 (special needscensus, November, 1974) to 321 by May of 1975 to 370 by June of the sameyear. The high point was reached in June, 1976, when a total of 417 pupils

were receiving services. Since that time, the figure has stabilized at

approximately 368 pupils.

There are clear and obvious reasons both for the increase and for the

subsequent leveling-off of the special needs population in Ipswich. Foremostwas the increased general awareness of special learning problems in children

together with the realization, promoted by Ch. 766, that the schools mustprovide appropriate learning experiences for such children — as indeed for all

children. Add to this the emergence of specific learning disabilities in children

as a recognized phenomenon, (national estimates place the number of people

affected by this language disability at from 10 to 25% of the total population)

the inclusion of pre-school age (3-5 years) children, and the role of hospitals

and clinics in referring children for services, and an increase is understandable.

Stabilization of the special needs population is attributable to remediationresulting in termination of services and to the reduction of unnecessaryreferrals through a pre-screening procedure.

In substance, Ipswich must provide for the special needs of approximately

16% of its total school enrollment. Projections are risky, but the prospect of

reducing this population seems countered by trends to return children now in

public care to the local schools and to force extensive summer and post-high

school services upon the cities and towns.

The impact of this continuing demand for services falls upon the total pupil

personnel services department. I have referred to it and its effects upon the

health team, the counselors, and special needs staff in previous reports.

Everyone is over-extended; and it is only because of the quality of staff— andits real dedication — that services mandated for children are being provided at

the current level. Certainly resources have not significantly improved. Burley

School continues to transfer most of its special needs cases to overcrowdedprograms in other schools, and space and staffing problems remain severe at

the Winthrop, Doyon, and Junior High Schools. The addition to the staff,

through federal funding, of a system-wide diagnostician has helpedimmeasurably by reducing the Ch. 766 logistics burden on the staff. Withoutthis help, the quality of direct services to children would have been lowered.

I look forward to the continued support of the Superintendent of Schools andof the townspeople expressed through the School Committee for the Continuedimplementation of programs for a significant proportion of Ipswich's school

children.

RICHARD S. SHEPPARD1916 - 1977

Shellfish Constable

WELL DONE, THOU GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT

74

SHELLFISH ADVISORY BOARDEdward Paquin, Chairman

The past year has been one of many changes in the shellfish industry.

Reduction of clam population on our areas over the last year was worse than

we had thought, as not only the seed and legal sized clams have disappeared,

but also the worm population has declined. The closing of the areas last year

was offset by putting the diggers to work transplanting clams from the river to

an open area off Eagle Hill. The results were not what was hoped for, as very

little survived the change in conditions.

The Shellfish Board and Constable have tried to work out a ten step

proposal for the river areas in the hope that these areas could be opened for

harvesting, but to date, there does not seem a chance that this will occur.

Representative Lane has been doing what he can to pass legislation and get

State and Local authorities together on the many issues that keep coming up,

and we would like to thank him for his help.

Regular meetings have been held on a monthly basis throughout the year to

handle various problems that arise. The meetings are now held on the first

Wednesday of the month in the Town Hall.

Although this report covers the 1976 Calendar Year, the Board and I feel weshould mention the Town's and our terrible loss: Our meeting in February(1977) was marked by a tragic event that took the life of our Constable,Richard Sheppard. "Shep" was a dedicated worker who took a deep interest in

his work. He put in time beyond his normal working hours to seek ways of

improving our areas and getting state assistance. He will be sadly missed bythe Board and his many friends.

TOWN COUNSELCharles C. Dalton

1976 was a year of continuing litigation and legal activity for Ipswich. Amongthe major items which were initiated or pending were A) a suit in FederalDistrict Court in Boston against the Town and the Chief of Police of

$5,000,000, alleging numerous violations of Federal Civil Rights because of

allegedly illegal search, illegal seizure, and false arrest; B) cross suits in the

Essex County Superior Court by the Town and by the Firemen's Union,requesting that the award of a labor arbitrator under the compulsory andbinding police and fire arbitration law be vacated or confirmed; C) a suit in

Essex County Superior Court by a parent against the School Committee andsundry school officials alleging that a child had been deprived of her rights

under Chapter 766; and D) several appeals to the Appellate Tax Board in

Boston of denials of abatements by the Board of Assessors.

In addition to a noticeable increase in the volume of litigation, 1976 was a

year of transition for the office of Town Counsel. F. Dale Vincent, after eight

years of loyal and proficient service, resigned at the end of the year. CharlesC. Dalton was appointed by the Town Manager to succeed Attorney Vincentand to assume all of his many duties and ongoing responsibilities. The Board ofSelectmen and the Town Manager expressed their warm appreciation to

Attorney Vincent for a job faithfully done.

WATER/SEWER DEPARTMENTJames E. Chase, Engineer

WATER DIVISION:

Henry Chouinard, Foreman

The Town of Ipswich once again experienced a severe water shortage. This

shortage was temporarily relieved by the Town of Hamilton which came to our

aid by diverting 22,000,000 gallons of water into our system. Short-term efforts

to correct this condition were made at a November 29, 1976 Special TownMeeting which authorized the expenditure of funds for the cleaning andimprovement of the Town's existing well system and for the exploration andconstruction of a new well site. Further efforts were initiated through renewedinvestigation by Town Government into long-term solutions. One of these it

was hoped would be ready and acceptable. at the 1977 Annual Town Meeting.

Regardless of the outcome of these efforts to correct this chronic condition, the

water shortage is expected to be with us for some time to come and everyresident of Ipswich is asked to conserve water.

ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS

James Theodosopoulos, Chairman

In 1976 the Board held forty-two hearings. Thirty were requests for

variances, of which twenty were granted, eight were denied, and two werewithdrawn. Many of those granted were for side or front yard variances for

house or garages on lots that were too small because they predated the ZoningBy-law. Three variance requests were for signs, all of them being denied. Otherrequests that were denied were for uses not permitted in the particular zoning

district.

Eleven of the hearings were requests for special exceptions involving,

generally, horses, temporary trailers, and conversion of a building to a two- or

three-family dwelling. Seven of the requests were granted, one was denied, twowere dismissed, and one was withdrawn.

The remaining hearing was an appeal from the Building Inspector's decision

denying a building permit for an apartment house. The Board was directed by

the Superior Court to order the issuance of the building permit.

After the Annual Town Meeting, the Selectmen appointed MichaelPascucelli, formerly an associate member, as a regular member, and MaryFosdick was appointed as an associate member. No appointment has beenmade for the second associate membership.

At the first meeting of the Board of Appeals after the appointments weremade, James Theodosopoulos and Daniel B. Lunt, Jr. were elected Chairmanand Vice-Chairman, respectively.
