Selectmen's Report


The report for the year ending December 31, 1928, of the different Administrative Boards of the Town of Fair- haven is herewith respectfully submitted :


At the first meeting of the Board of Selectmen, held February 14, 1928, John I. Bryant was elected Chairman and Isaac N. Babbitt, Clerk.


The Board of Public Welfare organized, with John I. Bryant Chairman and Miss Louise Babcock as Secretary.


Miss Babcock served as secretary until November, at which time she resigned and Miss Claudia I. Schiller was appointed to fill the vacancy.


Your Selectmen have had a most difficult situation to handle during the past year, owing to the long continued strike of the New Bedford mill operatives, in that a very largely increased demand devolved on the Welfare Depart- ment which would have created a serious situation of placing dependants on charity, had we not placed all able bodied men to work in the Highway Department.


This caused an increased demand on the Highway bud- get, but it allowed the applicants to maintain their self respect and at the same time gave the Town the benefit of a return in labor for the money expended.


In order to carry on the work, we were compelled to call for additional appropriation of $23,000.00, which sum will be placed in the budget of 1929 as a part of our debt and interest. Even with this increase, our total debt and interest will be reduced.


34


We have been giving considerable attention to our street lighting problem and would recommend an increase in our appropriation for this item, as we believe that we should change many of our lights from 60 to 100 Watt and increase the number to fill in the many places where the present layout is spaced at too great a distance from one to the other.


We feel that all departments have endeavored to the best of their ability to keep within their budgets, but this is not always possible owing to conditions beyond their control


Every article in the warrant has been carefully con- sidered by your Selectmen and the Finance Committee and are respectfully submitted.


SELECTMEN OF FAIRHAVEN.


Report of the Highway Department


At the beginning of the year the Selectmen appointed Thomas W. Whitfield, Superintendent of Streets.


At the Annual Town Meeting this year we had a number of sidewalks to be built or repaired. All of these 'articles were passed and the work has been completed.


Considerable work has been done on Mulberry, Jefferson, and Christian Streets; the grades were changed and block paving curbs were laid for sidewalks, which improved the conditions of these streets. Block paving curbing was laid at Larch, Linden and Elm Avenue, North Walnut, North William and North Green Streets, leaving those streets graded and in condition for macadamizing.


Considerable work has been done at the North End of the Town on sidewalk repair and Cinder roads. A mac- adamizing job has been done on Hawthorn Street. Laurel Street has been macadamized this year from Centre Street to Spring. Many streets have been sealed with asphalt. All macadamized roads in Town were patched before sealing.


Town trucks have been carting cinders almost the year round which has put all of the outlying districts in better shape than ever before. With the next Summer's work on these streets it will make these roads in fine condition.


36


The collection of ashes and rubbish has been cared for under the supervision of the street department and the ashes have been used to fill in the property owned by the town. The one team used now by the town will soon become inadequate but it is sufficient for the needs now. Seven lots were purchased by the Town last year and when filled in will add a large valuable piece of property to the Town. These lots provide an excellent dump for the refuse.


The citizens of the Town are most respectfully asked not to dump rubbish in the gutters of the streets as, in the first place, it is against the law, and in the second place it makes an unsightly mess, so we hope that the citizens will co-operate with the Superintendent of Streets, whoever he may be, in this particular work.


All of which is most respectfully submitted,


THOMAS W. WHITFIELD,


Superintendent of Streets.
