Report of the Selectmen and Board of Public Welfare


The administrative boards of the Town of Fairhaven submit herewith their respective reports for the year ending December 31, 1930.


At the organization meeting of your Board of Select- men held February 8, 1930 Isaac N. Babbitt was elected Chairman and William Tallman, Clerk.


The Board of Public Welfare organized with Isaac N. Babbitt, Chairman and Miss Claudia Schiller, Secretary.


In accordance with the vote of the town meeting held February 8, 1930, under Article 17, Thomas W. Whitfield was appointed Superintendent of Highways and the report of his activities will be found under the Report of the Highway Department.


After many years of persistent effort we are pleased to report that the State has taken in charge the maintenance of the New Bedford-Fairhaven Bridge, whereby we will be relieved of an annual expenditure of an average of about $7,000; and while we will continue the payment for our part of the construction of the bridge, we can consider ourselves fortunate in having been relieved of the burden of maintain- ing a state highway.


Progress is being made on the addition to the High School, and we are pleased to report that we are building at an opportune time ; the cost of labor and material being most favorable toward obtaining a good school at a substantial saving. We are enabled to secure the necessary funds for


10


the low rate of 3.65% which confirms our judgment that we were correct in our request that you vote to build at this time.


The repairs to Union Wharf have been completed and we now have a very fine wharf which is a valuable asset to the town.


The bronze tablet to the memory of John I. Bryant has been placed in the Town Hall. This is a fitting tribute to the man who labored so faithfully for the town's welfare. The Fort Phoenix tablet commemorating the gift of the Fort to the town by Lady Fairhaven will be placed at the Fort this year.


Owing to the world-wide depression our town has, in common with other cities and towns, suffered, and the result is reflected in the Welfare Department and also in the ad- ditional appropriation for the Highway Department nec- essitated by an endeavor to have men help themselves and their families by performing labor in return for money received by them.


We feel that Fairhaven has done its share in coping with a deplorable condition, and the majority of your Board of Selectmen feel that due credit should be given Mr. Thomas W. Whitfield for the efficient manner in which he handled the situation.


Your committee appointed for the formulation of plans for the establishment of a limited representative form of town meeting submitted to the voters their findings ; and after a hearing relative to same, presented a bill to the State Leg- islature in order that it become an Act. This Act was ap- proved by the Legislature May 7, 1930; was submitted to the registered voters of Fairhaven at the special town meeting called in conjunction with the State Election in November 1930, and was accepted by a vote of 1434 to 572.


11


We believe that this is a step in the right direction and that the interest evidenced by the large number of candi- dates for the office of Town Meeting Members is conclusive of the spirit of cooperation of our citizens.


We wish to thank all of the officials of the town for the efficient manner in which their departments have func- tioned.


Respectfully submitted,


ISAAC N. BABBITT, THOMAS W. WHITFIELD, WILLIAM TALLMAN.
