Report of the Board of Selectmen

The Board organized on February 8th, 1932 as follows : William Tallman, Chairman; F. Eben Brown, Clerk.

Thomas W. Whitfield was appointed Superintendent of Highways in accordance with the sanctioning vote of the Town Meeting.

While the chief burden of the Board has been the handling of problems pertaining to relief measures required, considerable attention has been given to matters of policy, co-operation of related departments, and special problems.

By a series of general conferences between the Assessors. Tax Collector. Treasurer, and this Board, the related work of the Departments has been brought into close co-operation, and very gratifying progress has been made both as to actual col- lection of old accounts, and the clearing of such accounts by abatement, disclaimer, and re-sale. A continuation of this policy under the direction of Attorney Wm. R. Freitas will soon have these departments with their books clear, and with a most excellent operating arrangement.

Routine and special hearings have been held on matters relating to the Zoning Laws. This Board recommends the re- study of various sections for re-zoning where use and traffic conditions have made the existing zone selections a cause for recurring special concessions and minor infringements, with resulting difficulties in administration.

While the attempt to remove the wrecks at the bridge was a purely civic affair, with accomplishment long sought and desired, and with a solution offered placing the burden of ex- pense ultimately upon the owners of the wrecks, the affair was made a matter of "Politics" with unfortunate results reaching well beyond the immediate problem of removal.

The attempt to force the State to remove the wrecks was doomed to failure, and was a mistake in policy, presumably eradicated as a town policy when the next Special Meeting passed the Resolution against continued expenditure for non- essential and non-revenue producing Public Works by the State and Federal Governments.

That some thirty voters presented a petition to this board censoring the Chairman for his expression of personal opinion

contrary to Town Meeting vote when appearing before a Legislative hearing, should be known. As a community is most likely to prosper under well considered long time policies, an editorial which appeared in the "Standard" is quoted herewith, which if considered in the light of present day public opinion and action, may somewhat excuse the Chairman :

"We are not sure that there was any necessity for a personal explanation by Selectman Tallman .. . . He said he did not approve; and when you read what he had to say .... regarding the impropriety of spending public funds on non-essentials at this time, you will agree that he sustains his point satisfac- torily.

One thing Mr. Tallman has done is to dispel the miscon- ception that leads people who agree that a given project would be an extravagance if financed by their city or town to be en- thusiastic for it if the State will pay the bill. The truth is that, whether the local community or the county or the State settles, the money comes out of the people in taxes. An unwise expen- diture does not become wise by merely changing the offices thru which it is audited. Convinced that Fairhaven could not afford to pay for the removal of the wrecks in times like these, Mr. Tallman believed the state could not afford it, and said so with a frankness that is to be admired."

The problem of current finances has required much atten- tion. Recommendations by the Board for Town Meeting action of 1932 resulted in the following cuts in expense from the 1931 budget :

Appropriations for usual and general operating exp. $15,535.89 Appropriations for "Special" expenditures 38,094.83

Total : cut from previous years appropriations $53,630.72

While this total cut might be considered as a very sub- stantial reduction, it was offset, under continued depression, as follows :

Net increase in expenditures for charaties $39,790.65

Net decrease in return by Estimated Receipts, as

influenced by increased state and county assessments 5,953.13

Totals adversely affecting the net saving $45,743.78

With no surplus in the Treasury to draw on, when in 1931 we had used $22,000.00 out of surplus, along with increases in expense due to elections, necessary valuation reductions, etc .. this uncontrollable increased expense wiped out our saving, and caused a resulting increase in the tax rate.

Total expenditures for 1932 were $506,716.09 as against $518,273.98 for 1931, a reduction of $11,557.89.

We reduced our valuations by $53,140.00.

In considering the policies to be recommended for the management of town affairs for the coming year, your Board of Selectmen have considered, and the people are urged to con- sider the following facts :

(1) Expenses must be curtailed to meet the lessened ability of the people to pay taxes. Action by the Town Meeting can do much to influence our local tax, but the influence that State and Federal expenditures have, both directly and indirectly, is a matter which should be one of deep concern to every citizen.

(2) As a Town we have only partial control of our own ex- pense and revenue. The State and County, thru legislation, have much to do with our finances, as we must contribute to them for their running expenses, and must maintain certain activities in accordance with legislated standards.

The only means we have of influencing the amount we must contribute is the effort we may see fit to exert to force economy on the State and County Governments, a matter requiring more than the unaided efforts of your Board of Selectmen. The "Economy" Resolution adopted by the Town Meeting in July should be followed up by the personal political effort of the individual citizens.

Except as legislation may be changed or new legislation enacted we have no control over the amount of money the State may return to us from funds collected for distribution to the cities and towns :

The return from Income Tax will be less by 30% ($10,800 .- 00), Corporation and Bank tax will also be less by 15% ($1,300.00) and we can do nothing about it. Return from the gasoline tax, or any other sales tax which may be enacted, can be decidedly affected if we insist on proper legislation.

A movement is under way to divert a major portion of the gasoline tax from Highway Construction to be distributed to the cities and towns. This diversion is really for the purpose of offsetting expenditures for relief. Any other sales taxes will be imposed for the same purpose.

Believing that further Highway construction can wait, and that every source of revenue possible will be required for relief expenditures, this Board favors the diversion of Highway money, but urges that particular attention be paid to the method by

which the money will be re-distributed to the cities and towns. .... As a sales tax is levied upon the whole population, with all contributing approximately an equal amount per capita, the re- distributing of such a tax should be made on a "per-capita" basis. Present methods return a major portion of the tax to the more wealthy cities and towns, as re-distribution is made on the basis of assessed valuations. This matter will be made the subject of special effort by your Board, but success will depend upon the support of public opinion.

(3) Certain items of our local expense are fixed, and almost beyond our control to alter :

(a) Payment of Bonds coming due each year on Public Debt. ($28,455.00 for 1933)

(b) Payment of interest on the Public Debt ($12,119.40 for 1933).

(c) Payment of interest on Revenue Loans, (Temporary borrowings) the expense of which varies from year to year with the prevailing rate of interest, and the amount we have to borrow ($9 144.80 in 1932).

(d) The expenses billed to us by the State and County for our share of their running expenses, and for the maintenance of certain educational and health activities ($46,578.73 in 1932).

(e) The expense of relief measures, all classes of which will total $92,334.38 this past year, and will likely be as much or more next year.

This expense, approximately $188,632.31 (37.5% of our ex- penditures) is beyond our control except as influenced by methods of administration, public co-operation, and possible changes in legislation. That our people in distress shall be fed. clothed and sheltered, must be our first consideration.

The report of the Board of Public Welfare goes into this matter more fully, but it can be said that this mounting expense for relief is the most serious problem influencing any attempt to balance any budget from this town up to the Federal Govern- ment.

(4) Every other expense of the town, except as required to maintain the minimum activity required by legislation, can be reduced, or if required, omitted. The job is to make reductions or omissions in a sane manner.

Last year we advised elimination of expense other than routine operating appropriations, advised certain scaling down in those appropriations, but not to the extent where we felt that efficiency and morale would be endangered.

Departments were requested to make further savings dur- ing the year in order to return a balance at the close of books. Except where emergencies arose to prevent, the various depart- ments have functioned with less expense, (Balances were $18,565.27), and we believe, with more efficiency.

With the knowledge that Fairhaven has, for a number of years received more than the average amount of public service for less than the average cost, the Board did not feel that a horizontal salary reduction last year was either fair or advisable.

The employees of the Town appreciated the resistance of the Town Meeting to the "cut the Public Servant first" idea, and have served during the past year accordingly.

If it now seems wise to further reduce operating expense, and the taxpayer is willing to receive less in the way of personal benefit than he has received in the past, we believe those em- ployed by the Town will be willing to co-operate to any reason- able extent in the way of salary reduction.

While the total tax receipts have been on a par with 1931, an added year of depression has reduced the ability of the people to recover financially even should a turn for the better take place in 1933. This Board, therefore, feels that expenses must be reduced if serious difficulty is to be avoided at the end of 1933.

The function of the Board is to advise as well as their knowledge of, and judgment concerning town affairs permits. It is then for the voters to decide what activities shall be cur- tailed or omitted. Serious study and thought on the part of the voters is therefore required.

The Board is not willing to advise omitting any of the major activities of public service, but feels that necessity de- mands curtailment to a point of service below what has been considered a desirable mimimum heretofore, except as the rea- sonable protection of persons and property may be actually endangered thereby.

The various Boards and departments have been asked to prepare reports with advisable curtailment in mind, and the local branch of the National Economy League has accepted the invitation to co-operate with constructive criticism.

In the several Special Town Meetings held during 1932 the townspeople have repeatedly been asked to study Town affairs in a constructive way, that they may think and act from knowledge, rather than from hearsay or on partisan motives.

This Board hopes that the voters have come to realize that the successful running of the Town depends considerably upon

their own efforts to both co-operate and act with judgment. We will attempt to supply in advance the facts upon which you may base your judgment, and we trust that the action to be taken at the coming Town Meeting will be along lines so well considered, that the least harm possible to our public service will result.

Fairhaven has the burden of being a residential section of a distressed industrial city. We escape the natural troubles of such a situation affecting police work no less than we escape the effects upon our Welfare appropriation. The Police De- partment has had more work to do, and naturally more troubles to settle with less men to settle them. We therefore have more criticism and complaint as to work undone, or poorly done, or overdone.

It is a trait of human nature when making a complaint to the Police to expect immediate response and results. The mat- ter is of great personal importance to the complainant, it being his only trouble of a police nature. He does not stop to con- sider that his trouble may be of minor importance when com- pared with other complaints registered that same day or week. A thorough investigation and follow-up of every minor com- plaint would swell the cost of "investigation" and "special police" many times.

A Police Department is for the purpose of "Protection of Persons and Property". It should function as follows :

For Prevention : (1) By patrol to possibly prevent trouble. (2) By special investigation or by accumulated knowledge gained thru long acquaintance with the people who are inclined to be trouble makers, to forestall trouble. Efficient and suffi- cient patrol is a matter of money. Investigation and accumu- lated knowledge is a matter of either money or "time in service". but no amount of money can buy quickly the experience and knowledge to be acquired by a long "time in service".

For Action in Emergency or Trouble: (1) Efficient action in a major emergency depends on: Proper direction of effort; morale; proper organization of, and amount of reserve power. (2) By twenty-four hour desk service and with a skeleton force ready to answer immediately, to take care of minor emergency calls. (3) By a reserve force and regular men easily available to take care of additional emergency calls when the "station" skeleton force is already out on work. (4) The follow up or investigation, of each case after the call has been covered de- pends on the men available. Net results depend upon the money available for regular or "special" men and the ability of those men, plus the direction they receive. (5) By proper and im- partial disposition of the cases of offenders to prevent further trouble from the same offender.

Our Police Department has been criticized to members of this Board for about every activity that a Police Department has to perform. We hear them all, and find that almost without fail they contradict. We have too much patrol, not sufficient patrol. Too much investigation expense, but refuse to detail a man to thoroughly follow thru every minor complaint. Too much traffic control expense, and that we seriously neglect this important activity. That my case has been neglected at the expense of some favored party, or that my case was unfairly pushed and a much worse offender was let off. That favored sections are protected and mine are not. That the Chief should work an eight hour day, and that unless he personally works out
