Town Meeting Procedures

Prepared by Moderator Harold Shively and the

Ipswich League of Women Voters

Eligibility: All Ipswich citizens whose names are on the voting list are

eligible to participate in the Town Meeting. Registration closes 20 daysbefore the Annual Town Meeting and 14 days before a Special TownMeeting.

Participation: Any member of the Town Meeting may speak. When a

person wishes to speak, he/she should stand up and be recognized by the

Moderator. The speaker must state his/her name and, if employed by

another interested in the matter under discusion, shall disclose this fact

before speaking thereon.

No one is to speak impertinently or beside the question, superfluously

or tediously. No one is to indulge in discussion of personalities or use

indecent language. No one is to disturb another's speech except for a

point of order or a question of privilege.

If anyone wishes to question another, he should address the questions

to the moderator.

Town Meeting Time by Richard B. Johnson, et al., is the source of the

rules of procedure for conducting Town Meeting.

Warrant: The warrant is drawn by the Board of Selectmen. Any citizen

may put an article on the warrant by simply writing it out and having 10

registered voters sign it with their names and addresses. This is submitted

to the Town Clerk before the warrant closes.

The warrant closes at least 14 days before Town Meeting and shall have

been open for at least 7 days before that. The warrant must be published

at least 7 days before Town Meeting. The Finance Committee holds a

public hearing on all warrant articles except those providing for the elec-

tion of officers.

Quorum: 5 per cent of the registered voters of the Town make a quorum.

Order of Consideration: All articles shall be acted upon in the order in

which they appear in the warrant unless the meeting determines other-

wise by a majority vote.

Amendments: The amendment may consist of adding, deleting, or substi-

tuting words in the motion. The amendment should be in writing. This

saves time and gives the Town Counsel an opportunity to assess the legal

implications. Time will be taken to put the amendment in writing before

voting if the proposer has not done this.

The first amendment to a motion is called the primary amendment. It

may itself be amended. An amendment to the primary amendment is called

the secondary amendment. Not more than one primary and one secondary

amendment may be pending at one time.

A motion to amend requires a majority vote, even though the motion to

be amended may require a two-thirds majority or more.

Subsidiary Motions: A motion to postpone indefinitely means the article

will not be acted on. No article can be automatically carried over to an-

other warrant.

A motion to limit or extend the limits of debate requires a second and a

two-thirds vote. It may not be debated.

Vote: If the initial decision of the Moderator on the outcome of the vote

on any question is doubted, and if at least 7 voters so signify by rising

and standing in their places, the Moderator shall direct the vote be taken

again. After a vote has been taken in response to a challenge and the re-

sult of the second vote has been determined by the Moderator and an-

nounced, no further challenge to the result shall be permitted.

Some kinds of articles require more than a simple majority vote to pass;

the most common example is an article which will require bonding andwhich requires a two-thirds majority to pass. It is customary for the Moder-ator to state any such requirement before the vote is taken.

Special Town Meeting: The Selectmen may call a Special Town Meeting,

and, if they receive a request signed by 200 registered voters in the Town,they shall call a Special Town Meeting within 45 days. All subjects re-

quested by the petition are inserted in the warrant. Other articles for the

warrant of a Special Town Meeting are included if submitted in writing

by 100 registered voters. Notice of the time, place and subjects for the

Special Town Meeting must be issued 7 days before the meeting. Otherrules for procedure are generally the same as for Annual Town Meeting.

Also moved that the budget category 42, RESERVE FUND of

the Finance Committee Report, be amended as follows: by deleting the

sum of "$65,000.00" as recommended for 1975/76 and substituting

therefore the sum of "$228,000.00."

Available funds are $836,391.29, leaving $2,132,350.71 to be

raised and assessed.

II. For the School Budget to be raised and appropriated as hereinafter

designated: $3,568,302.00

Administration $ 110,044.00

Seconded. Mr. Dalton explained changes made in the Budget: 1) After

discussing the proposed purchase of the Rust building for a Fire Station,

the Finance Committee agreed with the Selectmen's request and removed

$100,000.00 earmarked for the Revenue Sharing Trust Fund to purchase

and renovate the building, leaving $325,000.00 in the Trust Fund; 2)

since the Town will receive $163,000.00 in Chapter 766 reimbursement,

10

the Finance Committee suggested that the School Committee reduce its

budget by this figure and it was so agreed. In the event the State does

not make this payment, the Finance Committee agreed to increase the

Reserve Fund by $163,000.00, transfer $103,000.00 instead of $65,000.00,

and add $125,000.00 free cash to the Reserve Fund. The money will be

transferred only if the state payment is not made. Mr. Dalton commentedthat this was a bookkeeping technique only, and the criticisms of the

School Committee m the Finance Report are still appropriate. He expressed

the Finance Committee's pessimism about the tax rate, and optimism that

labor negotiations will be successfully completed. The Board of Selectmen

recommended this article. Mr Gahm for the School Committee praised

the Finance Committee's spirit of cooperation this year, and mentioned

the rising costs. John Donovan stated that the School Committee wasirresponsible in giving Mr. Stella a salary increase when the unemploymentsituation is so bad; he also criticized the Committee's performance, feels

we should have better schools without excessive costs. On the vote, the

motion passed with 727 in favor, 406 opposed.

accomplishments in the vicinity of the new building, and that the sum of

$1,000.00 be raised and appropriated for this purpose. This amendmentwas ruled out of order by the Moderator since it was not in writing. Mrs.

Conley for the Finance Committee remarked that it was willing to recom-

mend a modest amount - less than $1,000.00 - from the reserve fund

that a fire station is badly needed in that part of Town; this building will

be equipped and manned by present personnel and equipment. EdwardNagus for the Finance Committee remarked that the price in relation to

overall size and construction is reasonable, and the Committee recom-

mended the purchase. Planning Board Chairman George Mathey said

that his Board realized the necessity for such a building and had negoti-

ated with the PCD Developers, but felt that a fire station in that develop-

ment would be a long time coming. The Planning Board recommendedthe article 4-1 . The motion carried on a voice vote.

gated as to cost and enforcement. Mr. Cobb for the Board of Selectmensaid it was 4-1 against the motion. John Macken, a professional dog

25

trainer, asked that voters use sense of common responsibility and civic

pride, and vote in favor. Claire Farrell, James Douglas spoke in favor of

owned by the Town and formerly leased to the United States Air Force

on Town Farm Road has now been returned in its entirety to the Townand; Whereas, this parcel of some 350 acres includes nature's beautiful

marshes and serene surroundings and; Whereas, this area has not beenmeasurably altered from its natural and virgin state and; Whereas, this

property should be used for the benefit of all our citizens and; Whereas,

this land is ideally suited for recreational purposes and; Whereas, it is

understood that other current uses by the Town at the disposal area andactivities associated with the building erected at that site are to be con-

tinued as long as required. Therefore, we the voters of Ipswich on this third

day of March 1975 do hereby resolve that this land be used for recreational

purposes and by a positive vote so declare that intent. Seconded. Mr. Silvia

explained that about three months ago Mrs. A.W. Smith appeared before

Board' of Selectmen and asked for a Resolve. Mrs. Smith from the audi-

ence said that she had looked forward to two things for the past forty

years: the pond in back of the Whipple House and the Town Farm land,

men unanimously recommended. The Finance Committee recommended5-4. The motion carried on a voice vote.

Article 24: To see if the Town will vote to appropriate a sum of moneyto construct an Elementary School at an appropriate location in the Townto determine whether such appropriation shall be raised by borrowing or

otherwise or to take any other action with respect thereto.

'School Building Needs Committee member Alfred Kotek movedthat the Town appropriate the sum of $2,400,000.00 to design, engineer,

construct and originally equip and furnish an elementary school and to

raise this appropriation the Town authorize the Treasurer, with the ap-

proval of the Selectmen, to issue $2,400,000.00 bonds or notes of the

Town under Chapter 645 of the Acts of 1948 as amended, and that the

School Building Needs Committee be authorized to carry out said project

and to contract for and expend State and Federal construction grants

for the project, provided that no borrowing shall be incurred pursuant

to this vote unless the Selectmen determine that State aid in the form of a

total construction grant of at least 65 per cent of the final approved con-

struction cost of the school project is available therefor.

And further moved that the Town-owned land located on Mile Lane,

previously purchased by the Town for the construction of a new high

28

school be utilized for this project.

And futher moved that, pursuant to Chapter II, Section 6 of the TownBy-laws, this motion be voted on by printed ballot on March 10th at the

portion of this meeting devoted to the election of officers and the deter-

mination of such questions as by law or the By-laws are required to be

determined by ballot.

Seconded. William Craft explained why it is necessary to have a new

school. Mr. Kozeneski said that the Selectmen were 3-2 in favor of the

motion. Thomas Emery said that the Finance Committee were unanimously

in favor. School Committee supported article. Fred Paulitz concurred in

the need for a school but questioned the site. He felt Topsfield Roadwould be a better one; that the sewerage cost on Mile Lane would be

more than projected. William Wasserman asked that Mr. Craft reply to

Mr. Paulitz and Mr. Craft stated that the projected cost of site develop-

ment would be $125,000.00 with $55,000.00 for on-site sewerage, the

remainder for access roads, fill, etc. He said that there is no reason to

believe that there will be any problem due to the proximity to the water-

shed - tests have been taken by the State. Joseph Hoffman asked whatplans there were for the Burley and Shatswell Schools? What impact would

there be on school staff? And if approximately the same number of stu-

dents would be accommodated in the new school as are at Doyon (540)

why do we need a larger school?

It was explained that the Shatswell could be used for Chapter 766 of-

fices and in conjunction with the Jr. High; the Burley could be used for

storage space or sold or torn down. No additional teachers are anticipated.

There will be slightly more pupils than at Doyon and also more spaces

are now required, thus the larger plan. The motion was carried on a voice

vote.

Article 25: To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate a sumof money to bus Ipswich Children to out of Town private schools, and to

see whether the Town will arrange for such transportation. Ten Taxpayers.

Frederick Rockett moved that the Town of Ipswich raise andappropriate the sum of $21,260.00 for the purpose of transporting stu-

dents to out-of-town private schools having an enrollment of twenty or

more students from the Town of Ipswich, and to request the School Com-mittee to implement its previous policy of transporting students to such

out-of-town private schools. Seconded. Mr. Rockett said that a favorable

vote would continue the policy to bus children out of town to private

schools; the three-year contract should be honored; the safety and well-

being of Ipswich children is better in bus transportation; private schools

are presently subsidized through school lunch programs, etc. The Boardof Selectmen supported the article. George Tsoutouris stated that the

Finance Committee was 6-3 in favor. Mr. Gahm, stating that this was a

very emotional issue, explained that the School Committee had rescinded

their policy on a 5-2 vote. Mrs. Patricia Manning, Mrs. Dorothy Walton,

by the amount of said aid. Seconded.

Mr. Cobb gave the background of the 1967 Camp, Dresser & McKeerecommendation of this plan, which has been defeated at the 1969, 1970

and 1972 Town Meetings. He stated that we still need water, the price of

land is constantly rising, and mentioned as alternatives: 1) Use of existing

supplies (except Ipswich River); raising the dam at the spillway and filling

the exfsting basin to supply an additional 200,000 gallons daily. Bull

Brook would need extensive treatment due to its high iron content. This

alternative would cost approximately $3,500,000.00. 2) Use of the Ipswich

River; run water through treatment plant and put directly into the system,

pump from the river into Dow's, or transfer into the Corsey Brook water-

shed. This would not be too practical for various reasons, among themthe cost, about $10,000,000.00. 3) Two regional proposals: 30A with a

capacity of 2Vi million gallons and a surface of one square mile, would

service eight communities in Essex County and would be on State land.

The State is recommending 30B which is approximately the same size

in area but would hold 20 million gallons and would serve 20 communities.

Mr. Cobb felt that this plan was feasible but grandiose; the Town must

approve it before the State could acquire any land; it would cost around

$70,000,000.00 and so far, there has been no indication of what Ipswich's

34

share of the cost would be.

At this point, Mr. Cobb moved for indefinite postponement of the

article - Seconded - and asked for a sense of the meeting on 1) use of

spring runoff; 2) reliance on Town's own supply or a regional one - 30Aor 30B; 3) water from the Ipswich River; 4) Kimball Brook?

Edwin Damon, Carl Russo, Lillian Bartnicki, Thomas Perkins, Terrance

Perkins, David Greeley spoke against indefinite postponement. Mrs.

Conley stated that the Finance Committee supported indefinite post-

ponement, feeling the problem needed more thought given to a solution.

Committee was 5-3 in favor of it. A two-thirds vote was necessary. Onthe vote, the motion was defeated with 128 voting in the affirmative, 301

Little Neck and Jeffrey's Neck Road areas and to see what method the

Town will adopt to raise and appropriate such sum by borrowing pr other-

wise or to take any action relative thereto.

BOARD OF SELECTMENCharles K. Cobb, Chairman

This year the Board acquired two new members, a new clerk, and a

new office on the ground floor of the renovated Town Hall. The Boardhas continued to enjoy a good working relationship with the Town Managerand reached several important policy decisions during the year.

The Kimball Brook reservoir proposal, which had been before the Townsince 1967, was decisively defeated by a special town meeting in June.

This action opened the way to the approval of a renewed search for ground

water, which has revealed the existence of at least two promising sources,

now being tested further. Although the Board also supported the con-

struction of a treatment plant at Winthrop Well No. 1 to cure an iron

problem which renders the water unusable during a large part of the year,

a special town meeting held in November failed to appropriate the $72,500

required. Sooner or later such a plant will have to be built, if the Townis to make economical use of its available water supply.

Another problem that the Town still must face is that of sewage dis-

posal. Individually, we have chosen to have flush toilets, dishwashers

and washing machines. Collectively, the Town has chosen to permit building

in such concentration that ordinary septic systems cannot dispose of these

domestic wastes. Without reversing these choices, a sewer system is the

only practicable means of removing these wastes. The Board will continue

its efforts to convince the Town Meeting of the seriousness of this problem.

45

TOWN MANAGERLeonard J. Silvia

The compilation of reports which comprise the'

'ingredients' ' of the

Annual Town Report tend to be somewhat mundane. They do, however,

offer a rather concise narrative of what has transpired over the past year.

Hopefully, you will find this report both traditionally attractive as

well as functionally useful. For economy's sake, once again this year, the

physical size of the document and related text is shorter than in most

recent years.

This past year has been one of substantial "organizational" and "struc-

tural" changes in the town's approach to government. It is my hope that

these changes will increase efficiency and productivity. Citizen demandsfor expanded municipal service have to be met realistically with ample

consideration for the economics of the 1970's.

Let us continue to establish an objective and effective system of govern-

ment and I urge you to come forward with suggestions to better serve

the future of Ipswich.

IPSWICH YOUTH COMMISSIONCathleen R. McGinley, Director

The year 1975 has been a challenging year for the Drop In Center. It

has been a year of many problems and solutions. The past year has brought

about a total "New Beginning" and a new image for the Drop In Center

which will be recreational with clear rules and regulations for the Center's

operation. The Youth Commission has taken a very clear step in regard

to policy and guidelines. The Director will have full responsiblity for the

operation of the Drop In Center and its staff. Many new programs have

been established and carried out as follows:

1 8 Dances Pool & ping pong tournaments

4 Summer Concerts Creation of a complete game section

8 Movies at the Center

Ski Trip Arts & Crafts programs, such as

Basketball Trip Macrame, Silk Screening andCamping Trip HandiworkCookouts Trips to McDonalds monthly

Major community projects the teenages have participated in are as follows:

2 Townwide cleanups

Lifeline to the elderly

Tag Day for Council for the AgingSweetheart Fair

House Tour of Old Ipswich

Lead paint screening clinic

A special note of appreciation is extended to everyone in the communityfor their overwhelming support of our programs, activities and interest

from the parents. A very special note of thanks is extended to the Police

Chief and his Department for their support and concern of the teenagers

in Ipswich.

ASSESSOR'S OFFICEVarnum S. Pedrick, Chief Assessor

The total assessed value of real estate and personal property committed

to the Treasurer for collection was $73,048,957. This included nearly

$300,000 in valuation of boats and snowmobiles. The total is an increase

of more than 1.5 million over 1974. Fortunately, this increase helped the

Town to survive the loss of one half million in state reimbursement with

only a $4.50 tax rate increase.

We also committed $512,010 in motor vehicle excise taxes which wasan increase of $38,000 over the previous year.

49

Personal property valuation should level off this year as state lists of

boats and snowmobiles become more accurate and taxing procedures for

these vehicles become more stable.

New single home construction and especially homeowner additions

and improvements increased in Ipswich in 1975. This, along with newindustrial and commercial development, may provide a decent gain in

taxable property for fiscal 1977.

ZONING BOARD OF APPEALSHollie A. Bucklin, Jr., Chairman

The Zoning Board of Appeals held forty-three hearings in 1975, the

highest number in its history. Of these requests, twenty-five were granted

(six with conditions), seven were denied and eight were withdrawn with-

out prejudice at the petitioner's request. Two requests were found not to

need a variance and one not to need the Board's permission.

The Board is presently involved in three court cases, in which the plain-

tiffs are appealing the Board's decisions.

The petitions presented to the Board over the past year covered a wide

range; the majority involved lot and set-back requirements but

others concerned horses, swimming pools, temporary installation of

trailers, bait processing plant, land development, building in Limited

Industrial area, appeal from a Board of Health decision, property con-

veyance to the Town and over-expansion of a building.

During the year, the resignation of S. Harold Perley, a Board memberfor many years, was accepted with regret. Sharon Josephson, a former

Alternate, was appointed to fill his place. Alternate John R. Logan re-

signed and was replaced by Thaddeus Maciejowski.

TOWN COUNSELF. Dale Vincent, Jr.

In addition to the usual flow of problems of and advice to various

town departments, the legal department has received an exceptionally

large increase in its case load in the past year. There are twelve cases pending

in Superior Court, one in Probate Court, one in Land Court and one in

the District Court.

These cases include possible liability on the Town for huge sums of

money. One tort action seeks to obtain $100,000. Two of the cases involve

the Firemen's collective bargaining contract. Others involve challenges

50

to decisions by the Board of Appeals and the Planning Board as to mat-

ters that will have an important impact upon the Town and its development.

Lastly there are many challenges to the assessed valuations by the Board

of Assessors in the Appellate Tax Board, action as to which will have a

serious affect on the Town's tax base and income.

TREASURER-COLLECTORGeorge C. Mourikas

The collection of taxes in this office was made much harder this year

due to the inflation and recession which seemed the worst since the 1930's.

More property was advertised this year for delinquent taxes than in all

the last fifteen years combined.

Letters were sent to the delinquents, followed up by telephone calls.

As the Treasurer-Collector's Office is the financial nerve center for the

Town, I am proud of my efficient staff; Sophie Rygielski, Assistant Treas-

urer; Gloria Klimaszewski and Alice Keenan, Deputy Tax Collectors.

In the collections of the utility department, there were two employees

working under the CETA program who did an excellent job; namely

Irene Lampropoulos and Leha Watts.

HISTORICAL COMMISSIONJohn Conley, Chairman

The Ipswich Historical Commision in October, 1975 published Some-thing to Preserve, the report of the Pilot Demonstration Project which

has been in progress for several years. The Project, which was fundedequally by the Ipswich Heritage Trust and the Department of Housingand Urban Development, demonstrates a method of protecting historic

buildings by the acquisition of recorded Preservation Agreements. TheCommission acquired sixteen Agreements on architecturally important

Ipswich homes before the completion of the report and two additonal

since then:

Mr. and Mrs. D. Webster Stone, 4 Hovey Street

Miss Ann Coppen, 100 High Street

The Department of Housing and Urban Development, through its

technical representative, David O. Johnson, has commended Somethingto Preserve and has informed us that the Department is planning to havethe report reprinted by the Government Printing Office. Requests for it

have been received from all parts of the United States and from Canada.

51

Mr. Johnson recommended to the Commission that the report be used as

a basis for the Town to make an application to HUD for a block grant

in preservation work. Such an application was filed on February 13 with

the assistance of Paul McGinley.

The Commission has carried on the routine work of preparing and re-

painting plaques for historic homes- and has continued its program of

updating the inventory of the Town's historic buildings and sites for the

Massachusetts Historical Commission.

POLICE DEPARTMENTArmand R. Brouillette, Chief

The Police Department answered 9851 service connected complaints

from local citizens, and covered 529 motor vehicle accidents in which

132 persons were injured and 3 fatally.

Wc have at present six qualified emergency medical technicians andthree first responders trained in the department. The remaining eleven

men will receive first responder training before the deadline of July 1977

as required by state statute.

I reported last year that surveys conducted of the operation of the

department and the physical plant, required some changes. We have asked

for additional personnel and expanded facilities. To this end we were in-

creased in staffing by one man and a committee was formed to study the

physical plant with instructions to come up with a recommendation for

the Town whether to remodel or build anew. This committee was very

active at first but has been allowed to disband when it became evident

that no money would be appropriated in a tight economic year.

We will again ask the Town to increase staffing by one man to bring

us up to a recommended working standard for an agency the size of the

Town.

Below is a chart showing selected items of calls answered by local police

for the last several vears:1973 1974 1975

CIVIL DEFENSEJohn R. Harrigan, Director

The principle aim of the Ipswich Civil Defense Organization is to protect

the population, lives and goods against the natural and unnatural dis-

asters, to mitigate their effects to bouy up the general state of mind andcreate a bond of mutual cooperation among individuals in time of emer-gency.

The need of a Civil Defense Organization becomes more evident with

the number of requests for assistance in 1975-1976, calls for assistance

from Aux. Fire-Aux. Police Depts., and Communications group, also

private citizens in trouble with flooding problems. To provide water in

times of drought. Ipswich is in need of expanding Civil Defense whenthere is talk of disbanding in other towns, to substantiate this we submit

the following summarization.

During the year 1975/76 your local Civil Defense was called upon to

assist in providing pumps, sand bags, emergency lighting and water to 27

private citizens and 3 business establishments. However, new and modernpumps and rescue equipment is needed to maintain a proper state of

readiness.

A permanent central storage area was constructed in October which

has allowed us to consolidate equipment and supplies to provide faster

and more reliable dispersing when needed.

A few of the many tasks performed by the Aux. Fire Dept. including

reporting to 102 fire alarms, and completed courses in Fire Fighting tech-

niques, Radiological monitoring and Search & Rescue.

Throughout 1975 the Aux. Police Department continued to serve the

Ipswich Community through the various volunteer services that it pro-

vides in augmenting regular Police Department functions.

FIRE DEPARTMENTTheodore F. Mozdziez, Chief

This year has been a year of several larger and serious fires for the

department to cope with. This trend indicates a need for better manningper shift for immediate response. The present personnel complimentconsist of:

Permanent Force.

Past studies and comprehensive reports by the New England Rating

Board, Gage and Babcock Co. and the Fire Study Committee have all re-

commended more manning and a new sub-station. The current outlook for

the coming year shows a need for a new forestry truck to replace the 32

year old model. A new sub station in the outer Linebrook area is a necessity

and should be supported by your action. I sincerely hope this can be

accomplished this year as six to seven miles to respond to an emergency is

a long, long way when minutes and seconds count.

The Ipswich Fire Department continues to serve you on a 24 hour basis

with permanent men on-duty at all times and supplimented by a call force

on bell alarms.

SHELLFISH ADVISORY COMMISSIONEdward F. Paquin, Chairman

This past year has been one of serious thought and action for the Shell-

fish Advisory Commission. Our areas that were abundant with shellfish

and worms have suffered a setback from causes that cannot be easily

explained.

The problem of "Red Tide" was with us again as was an increase in

green crab population. This was also a year of increased permits being

taken out, adding to a great pressure on all shellfish areas.

The board has tried to come up with changes in the keeping with condi-

tions on the flats. During the "Red Tide," a program of mussel removing

was carried on to help men who were out of work from clamming.

During the next year, it is hoped that the work on the flats can be in

reseeding and cultivating the areas that were once productive, but are

now barren.

During the year there have been different proposals brought before the

meetings dealing with ways of cleansing clams from an unclean area and

then to replant in clean areas. Also, an attempt to start clam farms was

brought up, but to date no more has been done on these subjects.

HARBOR MASTERPete S. George

The year 1975 was a good boating year for the Town, and saw us through

with no accidents.

All areas were patrolled by the deputies; Al Hurd, Arthur Kapsalis and"Rocky" Haserlat.

On several occasions, the Registry of Marine Recreational Vehicles,

including the Director himself, assisted me in their Patrol Cruiser. Numer-ous citations were issued and were prosecuted in Court by the Registry.

Considerable work was done on the mooring problem; citations were

issued and some resulted in court cases that were prosecuted by me.

On several occasions, we were called out for Search and Rescue missions.

I would like to thank members of the Police and Fire Department, with

special appreciation to Police Officer Ed Rauscher and Ken Nokes whowith their high speed boats participated with me in these missions.

A new boat, motor and trailer were purchased for the Harbor Depart-

ment. Also, new channel and speed markers were purchased.

55

With the cooperation of the Electric Light and Public Works Depart-

ments, the floats were put in the water and hauled out again for the season.

Both the Eagle Hill and the Ipswich Rivers were marked.

A Waterway Study Committee was formed which will enable us to solve

any problems and to.make rules and regulations for the boaters.

I have requested in the Harbor Department's 1976 budget the replacement

of the upper platform, a rail for installation on the sea wall and a newgangway and float to be installed at the state built ramp so passengers can

embark safely.

I would like to emphasize to the citizens that the Harbor Master is a part-

time position and occasionally, it is difficult for me to handle minorproblems. To alleviate this problem, I suggest the Town have a full-time

Harbor Master at least during the boating season.

SHELLFISH CONSTABLERichard Sheppard

In 1975 there was one closing of the clam flats due to P.S.P.

In 1975 there was one closing of the clam flats due to P.S.P. (so-called

"red tide"), and the flats remained closed for eight weeks.

With Technical Assistance money and Town money, full-time clam-mers and students were put to work on the flats for four days a week,at twenty-five dollars per day. The total money spent employing the clam-

mers amounted to $ 1 3 ,425 .13.

The men worked at destroying predators and at clearing three clam flats

of mussels. The obvious enthusiasm of the workers proves that the clamindustry is important to the Town of Ipswich, and more so now, with

economic conditions such as they are.

VETERANS' SERVICESFrank Story, Director

Massachusetts Veterans' Benefits

The Veterans' Benefits Program assists and advises veterans and their

dependents in obtaining benefits for which they have entitlement. Theprogram deals with hardship resulting from disaster, illness, unemploy-

57

ment and strikes. It is difficult to estimate with accuracy the expenditure

under this program. The number of veterans and their dependents re-

ceiving assistance in the Town of Ipswich under Chapter 1 15 of the General

Laws, as amended, is being reported as follows: January - 59, February -

47, March - 53, April - 45, May - 58,^ June - 55, July - 34, August - 48,

September - 53, October - 45, November - 41, December - 46. A total

of 584 cases was processed-in 1975. There were 24 applications filed for

the Vietnam Bonus. Exclusive of the bonus, 50% of the cost of the Benefits

program is reimbursed by the State. Expenditures are listed in the financial

statement of the Town Report.

Veterans' Services - Federal

a survey to evaluate the financial functions of the Electric Department.

This phase of the survey included the review and evaluation of the organiza-

tional structure, paper work flow, administrative and financial controls

and the equipment and/or outside service bureau used in processing

Light Department transactions.

A second study by Coopers & Lybrand to start in 1976, will review

cost and method of Electric Delivery Systems and to identify trends which

are affecting Electrical Delivery in Municipalities, such as purchase of

electricity versus local generation.

RECREATION - PARKS DEPARTMENTJames H. Daly, Director

Recreation Department

Overall attendance at the nine staffed summertime playgrounds (1975)

remained stable. Attendances, however, at certain play areas fluctuated

depending on their size, location, facilities available, etc. Average daily

attendance was set at 45 youngsters during the eight weeks of routine

and special programs. Except for the usual skinned elbows & knees there

were no injuries reported.

Among the special events offered last summer were field trips to the

Crane Castle grounds, the aquarium in Boston, the nature trail at Crane's

Beach and Benson's Animal farm. Appearing in Ipswich were the Little

Red Wagon theatre group and the zoomobile. All sorts of tourneys and

field days were conducted at the playgrounds over the eight week period.

Ipswich youngsters also participated in the annual Hula Hoop and Frisbee

contests that stretch to National levels.

The Director and other Recreation personnel assisted in depth in car-

rying out the successful marathon races associated with Olde Ipswich

Week and the July 4th parade and field day co-sponsored by the Rec. Dept.

and the local V.F.W. Well over 200 residents in all age groups participated

in the tennis tourney held at the Linebrook courts in August.

Several members of the Rec. Committee were present in Novemberwhen an appropriate plaque was presented to the late Albert Casali by

Town Manager Leonard Silvia and Director James Daly. The momentumpresented in behalf of the town was in appreciation for Mr. Casali makinghis land available for use as a playground for youngsters in the outer

Linebrook area at no cost to the Town.

Upwards of 600 youngsters took part in the swim instruction programthat was carried out at the Don Bosco pool. Close to 500 in all age groups

took advantage of the summer long tennis instruction courses. A token

fee was assessed for adults while there were no charges involved for young-

sters.

60

The Rec. office staff and the Director continued its long standing policy

of assisting semi-private groups and recognized organizations in carrying

out Recreation orientated plans & programs benefiting Ipswich residents.

Spaces in the Memorial Building were made available for a variety of

organizations for meetings, etc., all designed for the benefit of Ipswich

youth.

With people of all ages having more time for leisure activities and with

their attention focusing on the outdoor activities the pressure on the use

of town facilities (tennis courts & ball fields) has greatly increased in

recent years. The new demands have been partially satisfied by the co-

operation of the officials at Lasalette, Notre Dame and the Sacred Heart

Juniorate (Don Bosco) who have made their facilities available for use

by the Rec. Dept. and consequently the residents of Ipswich. Officials of

the Fish & Game Club continue to make a section of their skeet field

available for use as a summer playground activities. In all cases there

are no costs to the town involved.

Park Department

The three man crew which increases to twelve in the peak of the season

(spring, summer, fall) maintains and improves 13 ball fields, 9 playgrounds,

8 tennis courts and all the lawns, commons, greens and special projects

of the Light, Water & Highway Departments. The north & south greens,

the Town wharf, Daniel Boone Park, the town parking lot at the beach,

the two beaches at the Neck Causeway, certain traffic islands and a variety

of other minute areas are all maintained by the Department.

The base crew of 3 is kept busy in the mid winter months repairing

mechanized equipment, repairing & repainting playground equipment,

bleachers, benches, etc. The same crew also maintains the Memorialbuilding and carries out major redecorating projects. Personnel & vehicles

are utilized where needed in snow storms and often times assist other

departments in menial chores.

LIBRARYEleanor M. Crowley, Librarian

Activity at the Public Library reached a new high during 1975, consistent

with national trends indicating greatly increased levels of library use. Arecord number of borrowers charged out a total of 142,921 items; some47,165 persons used their public library facilities during the year, andapproximately 21,919 reference questions and answers were recorded.

High interest is noted in the areas of money management, job hunting,

"how-to-fix-it" books, consumer information and business reference. Moreand more people are taking advantage of the library's magazine and period-

icals collections as subscription costs to the individual soar.

61

The always popular story hours for pre-school children show increased

enrollment, and* programs for adults ranging from slide presentations to

a spinning demonstration have again been brought to the community by

the Friends of the Library whose continuing involvement and interest is

invaluable to the library. An outstanding activity of the Friends during 1975

was the publication of "Historical Stories of Ipswich, Mass. 1600-1700"

by the Children of Ipswich, a Bicentennial publication which is enjoying

nationwide distribution. The Oral History project, "Ipswich Speaks" has

completed an important slide/show presentation titled "A Good Place"by John Updike for showing and distribution during 1976.

Appointed to three-year terms on the Board of Library Trustees were

Daniel W. Poor, Jr., Judge Thomas A. Johnson and Alice Keenan. Mrs.

Bruce Paul was named to fill the unexpired term of William Waitt.

A significant number of important reference titles have been added to the

Library's collections through an LSCA Title I Grant during 1975. Thelibrary's total holding now number 54,463 following the addition of 2,989

new titles during 1975.

Increasingly, the library's participation in the Eastern Massachusetts

Regional Library System has enabled us to bring to our public improved

service through interlibrary loan, including the film collections of the

Boston Public Library. Daily truck delivery links the libraries in the Eastern

Region.

Your public Library takes pride in bringing to you the newest and the

timeliest in recreational, information and educational materials.

HOUSING AUTHORITYJane Bokron, Executive Director

Arthur Weagle, Chairman

The Ipswich Housing Authority currently administers three (3) Projects

namely; 200-1 Family Units (24 at Southern Heights)..667-C2 Elderly (20

at Southern Manor and 100 at Caroline Avenue)..77 Rent Subsidy Scattered

Housing (Project 707).

Proposed Elderly and Family Housing..94 Units (80 elderly and 14 Family)

The Ipswich Housing Authority received the approved for Financial

assistance on July 30, 1975. Local Planning Board and Zoning Board of

Appeals have approved preliminary plans and it is expected that groundbreaking may take place sometime during May 1976.

Project 200-1-Low Income Family: These 24 Low Income Family Units

built 1950 each has its own gas furnace, gas stove and gas hot water tank.

The average shelter rent of $85.00 per month for 1-2-3-4 bedrooms units.

Much has been done to improve these units. Wrought iron hand rails have

been installed during 1975 and will be completed during 1976. Safety chain

door locks were installed in all apartments. Trees were planted during 1975

and more will be planted during 1976.

Project 667-C2-Elderly: The 20 Elderly units at Southern Manor are heated

by gas. These units were re-roofed during 1975. Wrought iron hand rails

were installed in all units. The average rent is $57.00 per month. The 100

elderly units at Caroline Avenue are all electric. The average rent is $70.00

per month. Average age for both elderly projects is 77 years young. Flu

shots are available annual for all tenants. Photographic identification cards

were processed in the Recreation Hall.

Rent Subsidy Project 707: This program 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 total monthly rent. The Ipswich Housing Authority

paid a total of $80,207.00 during 1975 for rent subsidies to private landlords

for 77 units. The average rent subsidy tenants paid was $78.00 per monthwhile the Ipswich Housing Authority paid an average of $89.00 per monthto the landlords for 1-2-3-4 bedroom units.

Hot Lunch Program: On February 25, 1974 a pilot program for Hot Lunches

was initiated for 50 elderly tenants at Caroline Avenue and Southern Manor.This highly successful program has made a tremendous impact on the

elderly as this program is for congregate dining and elderly tenants nowhave an opportunity to socialize more.

Tenant Representative Association: Tenant Representatives of all projects

attend the regular monthly meetings of the Ipswich Housing Authority with

63

their complaints and suggestions. This group has been a tremendous help

to the Authority. The Recreation Hall has a full calendar of Beano once a

month, Birthday Parties, card playing, knitting groups and many other

social activities. Mr. Percy Cheverie has directed two highly successful

Minstrel Shows and is planning another during April 1976. These funds

have been used to purchase a new piano and a sound movie projector for

"Sunday Nite at the Movies."

There were 3 deaths in the elderly project and 3 deaths in the family project.

To their families, we extend our most sincere sympathy.

ESSEX COUNTYMOSQUITO CONTROLRobert W. Spencer, Superintendent

The Essex County Mosquito Control Project was organized in 1965 and

on July 12, 1975, completed ten years of service to the Town of Ipswich

and twenty-one other communities in Essex County.

While there are many who will disagree, much has been accomplishedsince 1965 in abating the mosquito both as a public nuisance and a public

health hazard. The program of source reduction through drainage andwater management and the annual treatment of chronic mosquito breeding

plots have reduced greatly the numbers of mosquitoes emerging fromfresh water wetlands, resulting in a noticeable lessening of the early sum-mer problem.

64

The coastal salt marshes continue as the greatest mosquito breeding

potential along the Massachusetts north shore because of the many miles

of neglected mosquito ditches. The Project has been working to remedythis situation since the acquisition of specially designed equipment in

late 1967. The task, however, is monumental and in spite of the fact

that 178,830 feet or nearly 34 miles of salt marsh ditching were recut

in 1975, and many hundreds of miles have been recut since 1967, the job

has just begun.

A major change in the method of summertime spraying for adult mos-quitoes was undertaken by the Project in 1975. The old method of thermal

aerosol fogging with insecticide and vaporized fuel oil was discarded in

favor of the ultra low volume application of technical grade material in

a much reduced dosage. The net result was greater coverage with less

material and a more effective adulticiding program at less cost per acre

treated.

During April and May a total of 77 acres of fresh water mosquito breeding

plots were treated by the application of a larvicide to the open water of

woodland pools.

The Project spray trucks were at work in Ipswich a total of 10 days in

June, July and August.

Employing power equipment the Project reclaimed a total of 525 feet

of existing streams off Newbury Road, Argilla Road, Town Farm Roadand in the vicinity of the Candlewood Golf Course. The brush was re-

moved from sides of the banks of these streams and others, for a total of

550 feet.

The Project now has thirteen full time employees and owns ten highway

vehicles. Four specially designed and equipped tractors are employed in

the fresh water wetlands and salt marshes.

The headquarters building on Haverhill Street in Rowley is located in

the approximate geographical center of the 315 square mile district with

convenient access to several major highways, the better to serve all mem-ber communities.

GOVERNMENT STUDY COMMITTEEIrving G. Small, Chairman

The Government Study Committee held one formal meeting during the

year on May 29, 1975. The purposes of that meeting were: (1) to organize

the Committee for the term ending with the 1976 Annual Town Meeting,

and (2) to hold a public hearing on the proposal, as presented in Article

15 of the Warrant for the June 9, 1975, Special Town Meeting, for adop-

tion of a new by-law establishing the date and time for the Annual Town

65

Meeting as either the first Monday in May at 7:30 P.M. or the first Saturday

in May at 9:00 A.M.

On the first question, the members of the Committee voted unanimously

to elect Mr. Irving G. Small as Chairman and Mrs. Mary E. Williamson

as Vice Chairman. On the second question, after considering recommenda-

tions submitted by Town Manager Silvia, Selectmen Cobb, Robertson

and Damon and Mrs. Jean Bucklin, the Committee voted unanimously

to recommend adoption of the first alternative under Article 15.

During the last week of November, the Committee Chairman, Mr.

Small, and member, Mr. John Eby, met informally on two occasions to

read and correct the printer's proofs of the Town's General By-laws

prior to their publication pursuant to order of the Board of Selectmen.

DOG OFFICERMaura Quinn

1500 dog licenses were issued through the Town Clerk's Office in 1975.

Approximately 250 dogs are unlicensed in Ipswich.

With the adoption of the dog control by-law on July 1 , the numberof complaints, as well as the number of animals confined in the pound,

etc., has been extremely different compared to previous years. Court

appearances have become a frequent occurance because of the violations

of the leash law.Summons were issued for failure to license a dog.

The public schools have been a main concern because of the number of

dogs that seem to gather there.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the residents of Ipswich

for their continued interest and cooperation; and I look to 1976 as a year

of further progress.

Animals reported lost 120

Animals found 95

CONSERVATION COMMISSIONVariety is the best description of the Conservation Commission's efforts

during 1975. Unanimous town meeting approval led to the acquisition of

77 acres of the Marini Farm - a large, important property of significant

watershed value. Benefits to Ipswich are many, including preservation of

valuable farmland, maintaining open space, protection of our water supply

and extending an existing wilderness trail system between Willowdale Forest

and Dow Reservation. The Commission thanks the Marini family for the

opportunity and their patience and effort on behalf of Ipswich.

We continued the dune restoration program at Crane's Beach, thanks to

efforts of High School students, town officials, the Forestry Department

and Trustees of Reservations.

Erection of a sign dedicating the Goodhue Canoe Landing culminated

the dream of many local folks who started the movement with a dance

several years ago, indicating so clearly that if you try hard enough, you can

succeed.

The Commissionn held four public hearings relative to the State Wetland

Protection law, in addition to investigating several violations and responding

to numerous citizens questions and complaints.

We finally had completed in December an inventory of town forest lands

to determine their viability, revenue potential for the town, value for fire-

wood for citizens and best methods for managing the resource to its max-imum benefit to the public.

The Conservation Commission joined with the Planning Board in a

coordinated effort to prepare an Open Space Plan. Working with the

Planning Advisory Committee, composed entirely of volunteers, a Natural

Resources Inventory was completed, with the free technical assistance of

the U.S. Soil Conservation Service and several University of Mass. students.

As a result, a variety of resources such as farms, trees, wildlife and other

resource types were inventoried and mapped. The Open Space Plan effort

will ultimately enhance the value of Ipswich both economically and aesthetic-

ally. This substantial effort was most successful because of the dedication

and capabilities of Ms. Holly Scoville, a CETA employee.

Lastly, through the efforts of many, all town maps have been reproduced

on a common scale. This important project has yielded valuable information

to the Commission, other town officials, and so many interested citizens

having questions.

We sincerely thank all of you for your continuing support.

CEMETERY DEPARTMENTWalter H. Hulbert, Jr., Superintendent

There were 86 interments in 1975 compared to 95 in 1974; 96 in 1973;

109inl972andll7inl971.

Two single graves; seven two grave lots; six four grave lots and oneeight grave lot were sold with perpetual care. Four lots converted fromannual care to perpetual care. Three lots established a perpetual flower

fund. Three two grave lots and five four grave lots were awarded to veterans

by the American Legion with no revenue for care of these lots.

Fifty-two monument and marker foundations laid; twenty sets of cor-

ner bounds set. Twenty-eight monuments repaired and re-set. Eleven of

them caused by vandals.

Re-serviced three avenues with two hundred fifty one tons of hot top.

Twelve tree stumps removed. Fertilized and limed a section of Cowles

Memorial and New Highland Cemetery.

A new four wheel drive Chevy half-ton pick up was purchased replacing

a 1970 International pick-up.

A new cemetery building was started in November. This will be office,

work shop and garage. Completion is scheduled for 1976.

All Cemetery records were microfilmed up-to-date to protect us in case

of loss by fire.

Monies collected for first half of FY 1976 as follows:

Interment openings $2,894.00

Chapel tent rentals 375 .00

Foundations and bounds 1 ,095 .50

$6,702.00

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENTArmand T. Michaud, Director

The Public Works Department underwent two changes during 1975.

Armand T. Michaud was appointed director in October, and the depart-

ment was re-organized separating the Water/Sewer Division from the

Highway, Forestry, Equipment Maintenance, Town Hall and TownGarage Buildings and the Snow & Ice Divisions.

68

HIGHWAY DIVISION:Norman Stone, Foreman

The Highway Division's chief responsibility is to maintain and repair

the Town's streets and drainage systems. Additional work handled by the

highway division includes the following: patching roads, repairing side-

walks, cleaning catchbasirts, sweeping streets and installing street signs.

Guard rails were replaced on Argilla Road, Linebrook Road and New-bury Road.

Shoulders were cut back on Argilla Road, Candlewood Road andChebacco Road.

A few projects were completed, namely; the correction of a drainage

problem on Kimball Avenue and the repairing of the Willowdale Bridge.

Hot topping wearing surfaces was done to the following streets:

Argilla Road Island Park RoadBroadway Extension Perley Avenue NorthBrownville Avenue Perley Avenue SouthCaroline Avenue Ryan AvenueFairview Avenue Vermette Court

*Hot topped from North Gate Road to Crane's Beach. Funded through

Chapter 90.

A number of roads were oiled including:

Applewood Drive Kent's Corner RoadArrowhead Trail Merganzer RoadBay View Road Newmarch Street

Bunker Hill Road Old England RoadCapeview Road Stage Hill RoadDamon Avenue Tansey LaneHillside Road Valley Drive

The division's winter schedule mainly consisted of Snow & Ice Controlwhich takes in plowing, sanding, salting and snow removal.

FORESTRY DIVISION:Charles Foley, Foreman

The- Dutch Elm disease has been a major concern this year. The Forestry

Division removed 275 Elm trees and sprayed with dormant spray in aneffort to contain the disease. A leaf spray was also sprayed on Elm trees

for the leaf beetle.

Approximately 35 dead trees, including Maples, were removed duringthe year.

69

Among the 375 new trees that were planted were Linden, Maple andOak trees. A large percentage of these trees were distributed at the Meadow-brook area. On Arbor Day, 400 trees were given out; one to each first

grader to take home, plant and care for.

All areas of Town underwent 15 weeks of mosquito spraying. Due to

the heavy brood of mosquitos, caused by the extra high tides, spraying

was done twice, sometimes three times a week.

A new program was launched which consisted of mowing the side of

roads. This program lasted for a 10 week period and gave a fresh look to

the Town's road sides. Brush was also cut back along 30 miles of road

sides around town.

EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE DIVISION:John McParland

During the first six months of the year, the Equipment MaintenanceDivision serviced and repaided Town vehicles for the Police, Recreation/

Parks, Cemetery and Public Works Departments. Each vehicle must be

kept in best possible condition to insure it's availability when needed.

During the last six months of 1975, each department was responsible

for maintaining their own vehicles.

All repairs to vehicles were logged; therefore, an accurate cost of opera-

tion per vehicle can be ascertained.

BUILDING MAINTENANCE DIVISION:Stanley Eustace, Custodian

Routine maintenace continued throughout the year.

Through the federally funded program of CETA (Comprehensive

Employment Training Act), the Town Hall and Annex Building interiors

were renovated. Paint, carpet, tile and panelling were installed and manyoffices were relocated and remodeled.

Because of the CETA employees, the cost of the entire project was cut

in half. Special thanks go to George Bouranis, Gerald Blaisdell and Fran

Wysocki...A JOB WELL DONE!

TEMPORARY HELP:

At present, there are 17 men employed by the town through the CETAprogram that are working in either the Highway Department, Forestry

Department or at the Town Hall.

BUILDING INSPECTORRalph Hebert

According to the State Building Code all places of public assembly are

required to undergo a periodic inspection and obtain a Certificate of In-

spection from the Building Department. Fees charged for certification vary

and are imposed by the State. However, all fees collected are reverted to

the Town.

The controversy of the smoke detector has been resolved by the Building

Code Commission. All new residential constructions are required to install

smoke detectors which have been approved by the underwriters label andstamped accordingly.

WATERWAYS STUDY COMMISSIONWalter G. Petrowicz, Chairman

The following were appointed by the Selectmen to form a new group to

be know as The Waterways Study Commission:Walter Petrowicz

Robert ToddHoward WomackKenneth NokesCharles Bayley

Stanley Eustace

Pierre Doucet

72

At the first meeting Walter Petrowicz was elected Chairman; Robert

Todd, Vice Chairman; and Howard Womack, Clerk.

The Board of Selectmen charged the group to study and submit a re-

commendation relative to the waterways in the Town of Ipswich in the

following categories:

Controls

Duties of HarbormasterLaw enforcement on waterways and landings

MooringsSafety and Rescue

Speed control

Channel markers and improvements

Rescue gear and squads

Rules and Regulations

Ramps and Landings

Right of wayRecreation areas

Water skiing

Navigation and Facility ImprovementsRiver dredging

Mooring area improvements

Ramps and Landings

Parking and access roads

The first priority being Controls. The Commission considered the existing

Town By-Laws and drafted a complete new set which includes the new areas

requested by the Board of Selectmen. The final draft was completed onDecember second and submitted to the Selectmen for their review. There

was some over-lapping of the other categories since it was the intention of

the Commission to produce a comprehensive set of By-Laws covering the

Ipswich waterways which could be produced and read easily by anyoneconcerned. Work on the last three categories is being continued.

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTCOMMISSION

Paul R. Beswick, Chairman

1975 has been one of the most active years for the Ipswich Industrial

Development Commission.Early in 1975 the Commission explored possibilities of new industries

coming to Ipswich. Two different prospects were explored and one resulted

in showing interest.

The Commission also visited with some local industries to explore waysthe Industrial Development Commission could be helpful. In at least onecase this interest on the part of the Industrial Development Commissionwas a factor in the business deciding to remain in Ipswich.

73

In the summer of 1975, the O.E.D.C. office in Gloucester expressed an

interest in supporting the Town of Ipswich for industrial development with

a Federally funded grant. The E.D.C. and the I.D.C. Chairmen were

consulted and the Mitchell Road site was found to be the most suitable.

Steps were taken to apply for the grant which included the Board of Select-

men making the formal request. Some abutting neighbors of the site protest-

ed this application for reasons that they believed it would deteriorate their

neighborhood. The I.D.C. held a hearing of these grievances and it resulted

that the neighbors soon agreed that publically controlled industrial develop-

ment was preferred over the present situation. Further the I.D.C. welcomedtwo representatives from the neighborhood to work with the I.D.C. to

develop a study specification that included their concerns.

In October 1975 the grant was applied for by the Selectmen, with re-

commendation of the I.D.C. The I.D.C. chairman has met with the Conser-

vation Commission, the Planning Board and the Selectmen to keep themadvised of progress and to initiate preliminary discussions on areas of

mutual interest.

In 1975 it is expected that at least one new appointment will be made to

the I.D.C. Also in early 1976 it is expected that the 90 day study will be

finished and the I.D.C. will take appropriate action on those findings. Mostlikely this action will include the steps necessary to begin attracting light

industry to Ipswich.

A principal goal of the I.D.C. is to find new sources of tax revenue as

well as to furnish local jobs with light, non-polluting industry.

PLANNING BOARDGeorge R. Mathey, Chairman

During the calendar year of 1975, the Planning Board held 31 regular

meetings and 3 hearings relative to subdivision plans. No executive ses-

sions were held. All of the proposed subdivisions, totalling 5 building

lots and the units to be built by the Housing Authority were approvedwith conditions. In addition approximately two dozen applications not

requiring Planning Board approval were signed.

In January, George Mathey succeeded George Nikas as chairman,

and George Hayes was appointed clerk. In May, John Beagan replaced

Mr. Nikas as a member.

With the invaluable help of Don Gagnon, its subdivision inspector, the

Board continued to monitor the construction of ways and utilities in the

Herrick Acres subdivision of 17 lots and remedial work at Meadowbrookand Scott's Hill. We are pleased that cooperation between the inhabitants

of the area, the Public Works Department and the Board has finally

eliminated the vast majority of the problems of Meadowbrook.

74

Under the leadership of Jason Sokolov, work has begun on identifying

sections of the zoning by-law which are contradictory or vague and which

have created problems for the Board and the Zoning Board of Appeals.

Work has also started, uner the guidance of George Hayes, on finding

methods of better coordinating the related efforts of the Town Clerk,

Zoning Board of Appeals, Board of Health, Building Inspector and Plan-

ning Board.

The Board continued to support the efforts of its volunteer citizens'

Planning Advisory Committee which gathered data on existing land use

to be used as a basis for updating the Town's master plan and for revising

the zoning by-law and subdivision rules and regulations. Although it

was hoped that recommendation for the master plan might be presented

to the 1976 annual Town Meeting, the vast amount of information which

has had to be gathered by this dedicated group, all of whom have other

commitments, has made this unlikely. It is difficult to express adequately

the Board's appreciation to the members of the PAC for the hard workand valuable time they have given to this effort thereby saving the Townconsiderable amounts of money which would otherwise have had to bepaid to our master plan consultant, Metcalf and Eddy. Particular thanks

should be given to Holly Scoville who acted as coordinator of and secre-

tary to the PAC.

The Board also wishes to thank Sally and Frank Rue and Steve White-

sell, volunteer student interns from the University of Massachusetts, for

there professional assistance to the PAC, the members of the Conserva-

tion Commission without whom the PAC would have been badly under-

staffed and less effective, and Dale Vincent, Town Counsel, for his un-

stinting and invaluable legal advice.

In the year to come we hope and expect that all segments of the popula-

tion of Ipswich will continue to contribute their knowledge of the Townand of their particular needs and aspirations to the Planning Board so

that a master plan which is for the good of Ipswich as a whole may be

formulated.

COUNCIL ON AGINGVirginia Cawthron, Chairman

The Council on Aging, which was established by the March Townmeeting, was organized at the October 20, 1975, meeting of the Board

of Selectmen.

At present there are 1600 senior citizens in Ipswich. The goal of the

Council is to improve the social and economic conditions of all older

Americans; to provide adequate income; comprehensive health service;

decent housing at rents the aged can afford; improve low cost transporta-

75

tion; adequeate diets; property tax relief and meaningful retirement. Theway to achieve this goal is through political action at local, State andFederal levels.

SCHOOL COMMITTEEPaul K Gahm, Chairman

Meetings of the School Committee are held on the first and third Thurs-

days of the month at 8:00 p.m., in various school locations as posted

with the Town Clerk.

The School Committee has caried through a Personnel Needs Assess-

ment resulting in substantial reductions in staff. We have reduced school

operating costs by leaving the rented quarters, and have spent 18 months

in labor negotiations to protect the interests of the taxpayers and the

children of our community.

As we look ahead to the upcoming year, our overall concern continues.

We are not encouraged by reduction in Chapter 70 funds, or the uncer-

tainties of reimbursements for Chapter 766 and school transportation.

We, therefore, will continue our vigilance in the upcoming year looking

at ah* areas where saving can be accomplished.

Having adopted this philosophy, it is inevitable that some programs,

people and children will be effected. It is our hope to keep the disruptions

minimal without sacrificing basic quality education. The School Com-mittee will need your support and encouragement in our efforts. Withyour understanding, we will survive the economic crunch and preserve

the integrity of our educational program.

SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLSJohn H. Stella

A most significant decrease in enrollment occurred from October 1, 1974

to October 1, 1975. In that period of time the public school K-12 enrollment

was reduced by 102. On October 1, 1975 the public school enrollment was

2454. This significant decrease in enrollment is attributed to the steadily

declining birth rate to Ipswich residents. It is interesting to note that in 1967

there were 251 births to Ipswich residents. In 1971 there were 149 births to

Ipswich residents, and in the year 1975, 107 children were born to Ipswich

residents. The result of the decreasing birth is reflected in declining enroll-

ments in all levels; specifically at the K-6 levels in 1969, our total K-6 en-

rollment numbered 1586. In 1975 our K-6 enrollment numbered 1356. Themost dramatic degree occurring from 1974-1975; there were 93 less K-6

students.

The School Committee, in the spring of 1975, charged the School Ad-ministration with the most important task of conducting a Staff NeedsAssessment at all levels. This assignment included all employees of the

school system. In the spring of 1975, the School Committee approved

several reductions in force at the High School level.

It appears that with decreasing enrollments several reductions in force

will have to be made during the upcoming Budget Sessions in preparation

of the 1976-77 School Budget.

On October 1, 1975, Ipswich students enrolled in the Whittier Regional

Vocational Technical High School totalled 146. This is the highest numberof students that we have had in the school since it became operational. It

appears that expenditures for Ipswich students attending Ipswich schools

can be decreased, particularly in the area of personnel for the 1976-77 school

year. The Administration will propose to the School Committee reductions

in force for the upcoming budget.

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, Caf-

eteria 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.

HIGH SCHOOLJoseph R. Rogers, Principal

Enrollment as of October 1 , 1976 -674

The decline in pupil enrollment has caused the administration and the

staff to reassess our needs and direction. The reduction in population

coupled with larger numbers of pupils going to Whittier Regional VocTech has resulted in some restructuring in our curriculum. Specialty

courses with small numbers of pupils will be eliminated next year be-

cause of cost. Unfortunately some of these will be in the fine arts.

The general curriculum is returning to a far more structured programthan was offered to our pupils during the early 70's. We are concentrating

more on required courses in English, Math, Science, U.S. History andU.S. Geography.

Our business department has a four year sequential course offering

which is definitely career and occupation oriented. The remainder ofour program is in general education and preparation for a college career.

81

Our program for graduating early, i.e.; in 3 years or 3Vi years is being

opted for by many students. This is in part due to economics or lack

of money for college tuition - many students work for one year prior to

entering the collegiate scene.

There are larger numbers of students going in to the military which

is another indication of the economic recession still being with us.

In November our school underwent a 3 day evaluation by the NewEngland Association of Schools and Colleges. This process is to determine

our accreditation as a public secondary school. At this writing we have

not received notification of the extension of our accreditation.

Chapter 766 has added a new dimension to our curriculum. While

we were providing every opportunity possible to accomodate every young-

ster, regardless of a physical or emotional disability we now must makegreater provisions. This is being done by aides and special teachers and a

back up force of non-instructional personnel. This new dimension has

caused us to divide two rooms to provide smaller spaces to accomodate

small group instruction and counseling. However, lack of space is still

a problem.

In conclusion: we are returning to a more structured basic program of

studies to fill the needs of our secondary school population.

The enrollment figures for the 1975-1976 school year are as follows:

Grade 7 220Grade_8 228

TOTAL 448

While projected enrollment figures show a possible decrease at other

levels, our enrollment will increase for the 1976-1977 school year - again.

Programs and Courses

As a result of Chapter 622 of the Massachusetts state laws course offerings

and programs can no longer be established in such a manner as to discrimin-

ate because of sex, color, etc. Accordingly, home economics for girls andwood shop for boys can no longer be offered as we traditionally haveorganized them. This year we have scheduled seventh grade students to take

one half a year shop and one half a year of home economics. When these

82

students progress to the eighth grade they will choose either home economics

or shop and classes will be co-educational.

Our current eighth grade pupils chose to take either shop or home econom-

ics at the half way point of this school year and the classes were organized

on a co-educational basis. Interestingly, thirty five percent (35%) of the

boys chose to take home economics when given the option and only fifteen

percent (15970) of the girls chose wood shop. In addition, our physical

education program and classes are now organized so that they can be co-

educational for the majority of activities.

In cooperation with the personnel of the Pupil Personnel Department wehave established a learning center in a portion of the area formerly utilized

by our guidance counselors. Supplementary learning activities are being

provided for our students requiring special needs assistance. Miss Templeand Mr. Sigman are available in the learning center to assist students and to

work with our classroom teachers.

Building and Grounds

During the summer of 1975 new fluorescent lights were installed in our

corridors and painting of stairways was completed. Hopefully we plan to

start a three (3) year program to install new student lockers during the 1976-

1977 budget year. Our present lockers have been in the school since 1936

and are in poor condition with replacement parts unavailable.

In conclusion, I would like to thank the superintendent, school com-mittee, and community for the support offered to the Junior High stu-

dents and staff.

PAUL F. DOYON MEMORIAL SCHOOLWilliam E. Waitt, Jr., Principal

This year marks the tenth anniversary of the Doyon School in service to

the Town of Ipswich. The students, staff and I take pride not only in the

excellent condition of the building, but in the continued fine educational

program made possible by its very adequate facilities.

As principal, I wish to renew my thanks for the first ten years to those

who worked so hard to make this school possible. To George Geanakos,the late Chairman of the School Committee, for the inspiration; to RodneyR. Wood, late Superintendent of Schools for the leadership, and to the

School Construction Committee for the hard work, with James C. Mc-Manaway and Harris Smith as Chairmen, including members, LawrenceAdams, Edwin H. Damon, Jr., Richard W. Davis, Joseph McGee, Phillip

Pattison and Catherine Pojasek.

We remain dedicated to the memory of Paul F. Doyon and continue to

provide service to the community by making the building and groundsavailable to a large number of citizen activities.

83

Organization We Continue to be the only school that houses seven

grades of education, with grades Kindergarten through Six. Each grade

level has three sections, with three Learning Centers, devoted to helping

students with special needs as required under Chapter 766. School enroll-

ment from January to June averaged 542 students. September showed a

surprising drop in enrollment to 480 students, with official October 1st.

figure at 476.

Curriculum Doyon provides a standard curriculum with emphasis on the

basic skills of Reading, Language Arts and Mathematics, supplementedwith instruction in Science, Music, Art and Physical Education.

Considerable emphasis is placed on good school citizenship and respect

for each other.

The staff continues to work on individualizing the curriculum so that

each child may make maximum use of his capabilities.

Personnel Doyon has a staff of 35 full and part time professionals,

including 23 tenure teachers, 3 tenure candidates, 7 second year teachers

and 2 first year staff members. In addition, two members are on leave of

absence.

A service staff of 19 include 8 kitchen employees, 3 teacher aides, 3 part

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

a school secretary.

General The work of the school is greatly assisted by a number of volun-

teers who work within the classrooms as aides and tutors, and our school

library. We are indebted to them.

Parents continue to provide advice and counsel in our monthly Parent

Advisory group meetings.

Our cafeteria continues to provide hot lunches to the Burley, Shatswell,

and Boone Hall School via our carry out program.

WINTHROP and BAPTIST SCHOOLSSamuel B. Levy, Principal

The Winthrop-Baptist Schools houses three classes of grade four; five

of grade five and six of grade six at the Winthrop School and two classes

of grade four at the Baptist School. At the end of the year Winthrop had349 students and the Baptist School 43 students. The Winthrop Resource

Center serves both of the schools and includes a well stocked library with

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

material for use by individuals, group or entire classroom work. A shared

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 Winthrop Cafeteria for Winthrop and Baptist students. Bus trans-

portation is provided for one-half of the student body.

84

The school provides a standard elementary school curriculum with a

flexible structure. Imaginative and innovative approaches are employed to

enliven the students' interest in their education and their environment.

Specialists operate in the areas of art, music and physical education. In-

strumental music lessons are provided for the three grades. An active chorus

of over eighty girls and twenty boys meet weekly. The Grade 5 and 6 Band

has sixty-five members. Jhe Grade 4 Beginning Band has forty-five members.

Provisions are made for students in the area of learning disabilities and

speech therapy. A Title I ESEA Project provides for a Director and trained

teacher aides to work in the area of remedial reading and mathematics.

The Title I Parents Advisory Council is an active and important part of

this project. The Winthrop-Baptist Parent Advisory Council which meets

monthly in 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, two lunchroomaides and three cafeteria workers complete the staff.

Many of the members are actively in post graduate work and in area

committees and boards in various areas of education, guidance and envir-

onmental 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 op-

portunity to use our facilities and equipment after school, evenings andon week-ends. During the entire year, including the summer,our kitchen

facilities were used by CAPE (Cape Ann Program for the Elderly) whoprepared and served meals under this program.

At the primary level, basic academic, physical and social development

skills are stressed. While classes are self-contained and graded children are

assigned learning tasks which are appropriate for their individual level of

development. Consequently, in the various disciplines, each child begins

at his level of readiness and progresses at his most efficient rate to whatever

heights he can reach throughout the school year. Individual strengths,

weaknesses and interests are carefully assessed. Appropriate instructional

materials and teaching styles are then initiated to ensure maximum growth.

Parent-teacher conferences are scheduled at least twice during the year

to report child progress and enhance communications between the homeand the school.

DIRECTOR OF CURRICULUMLyn Huttunen

The 1975 school year was an especially active one in the area of curriculum

development. Priorities were established in subject matter areas and the

thrust toward better communication and a coordinated K-12 program ofstudies continued throughout the year.

Under the title of Special Projects, groups of representative teachers andadministrators accomplished the following:

86

(1.) An individualized language arts record-keeping system and related

learning objectives for grades K-3.

(2.) Curriculum guides in United States History for grades 5, 8, and 9

(3.) An integrated social studies-science curriculum guide for Kindergarten

Children.

(4.) An in-depth study of Ipswich and early craftspersons for children in

grade 2.

(5.) Project Adventure (a unique physical education and related science

program) for sophomores and upperclasspersons on an elective basis.

(6.) A resource manual of units, activities and community representatives

for high school students taking the "Math Everyone Can Use" course.

(7.) A totally individualized laboratory approach to mathematics for

students in grades 7 and 8.

(8.) An integrated resource manual to accompany the objectives and record-

keeping system utilized in math with students in grades 4-6.

(9.) A Career Fair for elementary grade students, a Career Day at the HighSchool and a Career Steering Committee to establish appropriate

programs at the Junior High.

(10.) Professional performances for students in the areas of music, dance

and theater arts with an emphasis on the Bicentennial.

Ipswich competed again for Federal monies and was very successful in

attaining the following:

(1) Title I, ESEA (Elementary and Secondary Education Act) - Ipswich

received $30,485 for a project designed specifically to meet the needs

of children in remedial reading, grades 3-6 and in remedial and advanced

math, grades 5-8. Mrs. Bette Siegel and Mrs. Cynthia Burns, communityrepresentatives, have provided excellent leadership in this area.

(2) Title II, ESEA - Guaranteed local support has provided us with an

additional $2,954.90 for library and media materials at the elementary

school level.

(3) Title III, ESEA - Ipswich was the recipient of one of only twenty project

grants awarded in the State for innovative programs. Our program en-

titled "Ipswich Environmental and Civic Action Project" provides in-

depth experiences for students in the areas of social studies and science.

An award of $44,900 has provided us with a fifteen passenger van for

educational field trips and sophisticated science and photographic

equipment for student use.

(4) Title III, NDEA (National Defense Education Act) - A grant of $6,000

(50% local funds/50% reimbursed Federal funds) provided science

materials for use in environmental and oceanography courses at the high

school.

Curriculum is never stagnant. It must continuously be revised and changed

in order to meet the needs of our students. The support of teachers, ad-

ministrators, our school superintendent and representatives from the

community has helped us to take positive action in improving our programs.

Now in the second year of implementation, Chapter 766 continues to

have serious implications for cities, towns and their school systems. Ipswich,

like other communities is caught between two opposing alternatives. It

must provide services to children mandated under the law, and it must at

the same time cope with an avalanche of procedural and bureaucratic

requirements which impede the delivery of those services. The pupil ser-

vices staff is under mounting pressure to meet requirements for assess-

ments, evaluations, program development, monitoring and review for

even.- child referred under Chapter 766. The guidance staff, as coordinators

for the process in their respective schools, has undergone a major changein role and function; but the effects on special needs teachers, specialists,

consultants and the health team have also been severe.

Numbers of children in special programs has risen from approximately

264 (special needs census, November 1974) to 370 as of June 1975. Theincreased demand for services represented by these figures is obvious,

but the corresponding demand for the procedural work described abovemust also be met. The special needs staffs at learning and resource centers

are facing impossible numbers of children requiring services. The same is

true of specialists like the occupational therapist. Our priority is to pro-

vide these services. The problem is how to provide them adequately,

while at the same time complving with the non-service aspects of Chapter766.

Staff increase requests will be minimal and aimed at alleviating existing

programs where pressure is most critical. No new programs are anticipated

at this time. The space problem dispite reduced enrollments system wide

remains severe. Children in need of services at Burley School are in

most cases transfered to overcrowded programs in other schools. Speechtherapy, physical therapy, health and other services compete for space with

other school activities.

The outlook is uncertain: Ipswich, as it always has, will meet its responsi-

bility to children. Appropriate services for all children remains our priority.

I am confident — and grateful — for town support expressed through

the School Committee for this priority. But a more reasonable stance

with respect to non-service aspects of Chapter 766 on the pan of the State

is very much needed.

SCHOOL BUILDINGNEEDS COMMITTEE

William Craft, Chairman

Following last year's unsuccessful vote on the proposal for a new ele-

88

mentary school, the S.B.N.C. sponsored a well publicized public forum

involving the Selectmen, Finance Committee and School Committee.

The focus of this forum was a consideration of the facilities problems

facing Ipswich schools and practical plans for addressing them.

It was generally agreed that in their present condition The Burley and

Shatswell Schools are substandard at best, and continue to represent

the most critical of many problems facing the public schools. It was further

agreed that, at the present time no practical strategy could be identified

which would lead to a correction of any of these problems.

For the near future, it is apparent that town action regarding school

facilities will be limited to maintenance and repair of existing buildings.

The committee has continued to contribute to the long range planning

activities sponsored by various other town groups and committees. In

addition, the committee serves as the formal link with the State Depart-

ment of Education's Bureau of School Building Assistance.
