Report of the Selectmen
To the Citizens of Fairhaven:
The Board organized on February 7, 1938 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 twenty-first the town was honored by a visit from its most distinguished daughter, Lady Cara Fairhaven of London, England. At a meeting held in the Selectmen's Office Lady Fairhaven made known to the Board her inten- tion of presenting to the town a pastel portrait of her father, the late Henry H. Rogers, then hanging in her home in Lon- don, painted in 1896 by J. Wells Champney. She expressed the wish that it be placed in the Selectmen's Office and this request was fulfilled upon the arrival of the portrait.
It was our great pleasure to entertain for Lady Fairhaven on the following day at a tea in her honor held at the Tabi- tha Inn, which was attended by many town officials and old friends who were glad of the opportunity of greeting one who has the welfare of the people of Fairhaven at heart. This fact was manifested after the hurricane of September 21, 1938 by her gift of $1,000 "for the relief of distress caused by the recent storm".
Rehabilitation caused by the hurricane disaster, which in- creased the town debt by $39,250, and from which the town stands to lose a considerable amount of taxable property, was handled, we believe, in as efficient a manner as was possible under the circumstances. This was in large part due to the splendid cooperation of the American Legion and Auxiliary, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Community Nurses and the town physician, as well as W. P. A. em- ployees. The efforts of the Red Cross, through the unit established in town, in helping to restore property to persons who suffered heavy losses, is sincerely appreciated.
16
Expenditures for the various forms of relief show a con- tinued upward trend, particularly in Old Age Assistance, requiring a majority of the time and attention of the Board. We refer you to the detailed accounts of these departments found elsewhere in this report.
After tireless efforts on the part of the Selectmen and boat builders of Fairhaven work is now progressing on har- bor dredging. This is being accomplished through the par- ticipation of the Federal Government to the extent of one- half the cost, Commonwealth one-quarter and the Town one- quarter.
It was with regret that the Board learned of the decision of Frank W. Morse to retire as a member of the Board of Sewer Commissioners at the end of his term in February 1939. Mr. Morse has served the town over a long period as a sewer commissioner and has also given a considerable amount of time and assistance to the extensive sewer pro- gram which has been carried on under Works Progress Ad- ministration. He has rendered valuable service to the town and his retirement is to be regretted.
In closing, we wish to express our appreciation of the serv- ices of Mrs. Eliza C. Pease as a member of the Board of Old Age Assistance and to the Community Nurses, as well as of the cooperation of the various town officers in continuing to administer the affairs of their departments for the best in- terest of the town.
Respectfully submitted, F. EBEN BROWN, CHARLES W. KNOWLTON, THOMAS W. WHITFIELD, Selectmen of Fairhaven.
