Report of the Selectmen
On February 6, 1947 the Board organized as follows: Dr. Harold E. Kerwin, chairman of Board of Selectmen and Public Welfare, Mr. Charles W. Knowlton, clerk.
The Board met with the directors of the Fairhaven Water Company in February relative to an increased and improved water supply, especially in North Fairhaven. A committee was appointed as authorized by the last Annual Town Meeting to study the possibility or feasibility of the Town taking over the Fairhaven Water Company. A report of this committee will be given at the Annual Town meeting of 1948.
In March $48,000 for Post War Funds in Government Bonds were redeemed, and upon recommendation of the Trust Fund Com- missioners, Certificates of Indebtedness were purchased.
Upon orders from the Department of Public Safety certain fire hazards were corrected in the Auditorium of the Town Hall, also a new asbestos curtain and emergency lighting units were installed.
We have worked very hard to obtain some sort of traffic signs at Main Street and Huttleston Avenue. By official count over 9,000 automobiles passed this intersection in an eight hour period. We have impressed the State authorities with the seriousness of this situation and are hoping for full traffic control at this point.
The Board also recommends the widening of Sconticut Neck Road under provisions of Chapter 90 which will lessen materially the overall cost to the Town. We also recommend the widening of Center Street from Main Street east to Walnut Street and re-sur- facing of Main Street from the bridge north to Adams Street. This piece of road is the main thoroughfare to North Fairhaven and has been in need of extensive repairs for some time.
Cap-logs were placed on the most dangerous rims of Union Wharf. This is really important as a safety measure and should be further extended this year. The Sconticut Neck Water Project has moved very slowly due to lack of materials which have been on order for some time.
8
Quarterly meetings were held with heads of all departments and these have been of assistance to all concerned. Full reports of these departments may be found elsewhere in this Town Report.
It seems very fitting and proper at this time to pay high tribute to Miss Mabel L. Potter, who has rounded out thirty years of service to the Town as Park Commissioner. We have all seen and felt the effects of her service in many ways. We know the townspeople greatly appreciate her untiring efforts to beautify and make more useful the park properties which have been under her guiding hand these many years. Our deep gratitude and best wishes to Miss Potter.
On April 13, 1947 Fairhaven lost one of its most prominent citizens and business men in Mr. Chester F. Hathaway. He was vitally interested in his town and on many occasions rendered services of which few people knew. He was ever ready and ever willing to serve and we mourn the passing of such a man as a great loss to our community.
The Board greatly appreciates the splendid cooperation of the Heads of all the Town Departments and their personnel. Except for a few emergency and unforseen expenditures all finished the year well within their budget allowances and this is commendable.
Respectfully submitted,
HAROLD E. KERWIN, CHARLES W. KNOWLTON, WALTER SILVEIRA,
Board of Selectmen
