The report of the different Administrative Boards of the Town of Fairhaven for the year ending December 31, 1929 is herewith respectfully submitted.
Your Board of Selectmen, at the meeting held February 9, 1929, organized as follows: Isaac N. Babbitt, Chairman, William Tallman, Clerk, and the Board of Public Welfare organized with Isaac N. Babbitt, Chairman, and Miss Claudia I. Schiller as Secretary.
We herewith submit
REPORT OF REPAIRS TO UNION WHARF
Appropriation $7,500.00 Expenditures $7,477.70
After a thorough examination of the property it was decided to expend the appropriation upon those sections of the wharf most used and under lease; to rebuild the fallen section of wall at the west side of the main basin, and place new capping and piling on practically the whole of this west enclosing wharf.
One hundred thirteen feet of old timber was removed and new stone wall placed. This section was re-capped with anchored concrete capping, and all wooden cap log on the west end except the south wall, was likewise re-capped and piled, minor repairs to stone work being done at the same time.
The F. C. Taylor Company was employed for the work, with daily supervision by a member of the Board. When the work upon the west end was completed it was found that a sufficient balance remained in the appropriation to continue the work for an additional hundred feet or more, and the wall adjoining the slip used by the Casey Boat Building Co., the upper part of which was entirely gone, was ordered rebuilt and re-capped.
39
F. C. Taylor Estimate- Wall to be rebuilt : 113 lin. feet
Work Done :
113 lin. ft. plus 110 ft. of upper wall at Casey Slip.
Concrete Cap Log to build : 407 lin. ft.
507 lin. feet.
Creosoted piles to drive : 48 var. length.
69 piles.
Oak Tieup Posts to set : None.
5 posts set.
The Board felt that due to the character of this repair, a day work basis was to be preferred over contract work. The work done was of unquestionable quality, no unusual difficulties were encountered,-the weather favorable; the result being an amount of work done considerably in excess of the amount originally estimated as being under the ap- propriation.
With the growing use of the waterfront in mind the Board feels that the whole wharf property should be put in a state of good repair. The balance of the Basin Wall and Cap is in usable condition, but the cap log should be re- placed as soon as funds are available. Except for the extreme east end, the long north wall is in a fair condition and was re-piled this past year. A new cap log will be required soon.
