Report of the Selectmen, and Board of Public Welfare


To the Citizens of Fairhaven:


The Board organized for the current year on February 15, 1937 as follows: Board of Selectmen, F. Eben Brown, Chairman, Charles W. Knowlton, Clerk. Board of Public Welfare, F. Eben Brown, Chairman, Miss Claudia I. Schiller, Secretary.


On March 20, 1937 the Board received the resignation of Mr. John H. Stetson, Tax Collector, and it was accepted with regret. Mr. Stetson had served the town over a period of twenty-five years as a loyal and faithful public servant. The passing of Mr. Lewis E. Bentley, who had served the town faithfully as an Assessor, was regretted.


In accordance with the acceptance of the provisions of Section 7 Chapter 318 of the Acts of 1936 establishing in the Town of Fairhaven the Contributory Retirement System, the Board appointed George A. Greene, Miss Claudia I. Schiller and William D. Champlin to serve on the Board of Retirement for terms of three, two and one years respec- tively.


Improvement is noted in the tax title situation, the amount of tax titles held by the town at the close of busi- ness December 31, 1937 being $28,000 less than that at the beginning of the year.


The major portion of the Board's time has been spent on matters pertaining to the various charity accounts. Due to improved conditions in textile mills during the early part of 1937 it was possible to keep the expenditures on Public Welfare well within the appropriation of the Annual Town Meeting, even though the demands upon this department in the Fall and Winter have been much heavier. Continued operation of the Emergency Relief program has also contri-


16


buted. For a complete report of activities of that depart- ment we would refer you to that of Mr. Edward W. Sanders, Sponsor's Agent.


There has been a steady increase in the number of ap- plications for Old Age Assistance from persons sixty-five years of age and over. During the year 218 persons were aided, expenses totalling $54,224.53. The town received the sum of $24,548.22 in Federal Grants and $13,103.18 from the Commonwealth toward this expense. The Board is grateful for the cooperation of Mrs. Eliza C. Pease in this department.


A complete report of Public Welfare and Old Age Assist- ance immediately follows.


We wish to express our sincere appreciation of the co- operation of all town departments in keeping expenditures within their budget, and to the Community Nurses for their services during the year.


Respectfully submitted, F. EBEN BROWN, CHARLES W. KNOWLTON, THOMAS W. WHITFIELD,


Selectmen of Fairhaven.
