Report of the Selectmen


To the Citizens of the Town of Fairhaven:


We submit, herewith, our annual report for the year ending December 31, 1949. The Board has met each week on Monday evenings to consider the matters of business and to take up the work of the Public Welfare Department. Members have attended many out-of-town meetings and sessions of the Legislature when matters pertaining to the welfare of the Town of Fairhaven came up for consideration.


Organization


Walter Silveira, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen and Board of Public Welfare.


Harold E. Kerwin, Clerk.


Tributes


The town lost three valuable officials during the year in William D. Champlin, Town Clerk and Treasurer, by resignation. Victor O. B. Slater, Chairman of the Planning Board, by change of residence to the South. Edward G. Spooner, Chief of the Fire Department, by death. Tributes to Mr. Champlin and Mr. Slater and a memoriam to Mr. Spooner will be found in other pages of this report.


The vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Champlin was filled by the appointment of Mrs. Mabel E. Gammans as Temporary Town Clerk and Treasurer.


Water Department


The responsibilities and records of the Water Depart- ment for the extension on Sconticut Neck were turned over to the Sewer and Water Commissioners on April 11, 1949, following the vote of the Annual Town Meeting to transfer this work from the Selectmen's Department to the com- bined Sewer and Water Boards.


Accomplishments


During the year the kitchen of the banquet hall was remodelled to connect with the former office of the Board of Registrars to make suitable quarters for the Superin- tendent of Schools. This was done at a very small cost to the town and has made for more convenient handling of the work of the school department. The office of the Board of Registrars is now located in the former school office across the hall.


Surface drains were constructed on Hathaway street and Highland avenue to carry off the surface water which


8


had caused serious problems to property holders. This was done in connection with the widening of Sconticut Neck Road, which is a contract job under the supervision of the State Department of Public Works as Chapter 90 construc- tion. This work of widening Sconticut Neck Road will be carried on a section at a time for several years to come.


.


New traffic signals have been installed on the state highway at the head of Sconticut Neck Road. Further work has to be done on adjacent property to conform with the requirements of the Department of Public Works but eventually these lights will operate to the advantage of traffic coming from Sconticut Neck Road and passing over the state highway to the Cape.


Recommendations


We recommend a program of reconstruction of four or five streets each year in order to keep them all in good condition and to spread out the cost. However, in order to do street work the Highway Department should be furnished with the proper equipment. In the Warrant for 1950 the Superintendent is asking for a power road grader and roller. In the past it has been necessary to hire equip- ment at considerable cost to the Town and with nothing to show for it.


The extension of the fire alarm system by installing a few boxes each year is also recommended by this Board.


We are still negotiating with the Department of Public Works for the installation of traffic signals on the Fairhaven Bridge at Middle Street.


Financial Condition


The financial condition of the town is good. On December 31, 1949 the Excess and Deficiency account showed a balance of $193,000 with uncollected taxes of $55,704.38. The Loan for the Addition to the High School was retired, leaving only the Water and Surface Drain Loans to be paid. These total $126,400.


In conclusion we wish to thank the heads of the town departments for the cooperation received throughout the year and to the citizens of the Town for their loyal support and interest.


Respectfully submitted, WALTER SILVEIRA, Chairman HAROLD E. KERWIN CHARLES W. KNOWLTON Board of Selectmen
