Report of the Selectmen
To the Citizens of the Town of Fairhaven:
We submit, herewith, our annual report for the year ending December 31, 1950. The Board has met each week on Monday evenings at 7 o'clock to consider the matters of business and to take up the work of the Public Welfare Department.
Dr. Harold E. Kerwin was elected as chairman of the combined Boards of Selectmen and Public Welfare and Charles W. Knowlton was elected as clerk. Miss Claudia I. Schiller has served as Secretary to the Board of Selectmen and as Accounting Officer.
Financial Condition
At the close of the year the balance sheet of the town showed surplus revenue of $132,143.97 with uncollected taxes for 1949 amounting to $9,474.20. There was a bal- ance of $19,079.43 in Overlay Surplus and Post War Funds of $51,105.34. The town debt, for water and surface drain loans, was reduced to $115,600. A study of income re- ceived showed the $27,000 loss of estimated income from the Commonwealth offset by a $16,000 increase in motor vehicle excise taxes and substantial gains in all depart- mental revenues.
Plans for Building
Hearings were held before the Legislative Committee on the action of the town meeting members which author- ized the Selectmen to borrow outside the statutory limit of indebtedness in the amount of $700,000 for the purpose of constructing and equipping additional building facilities for- the Fairhaven School System and in the amount of $1,000,- 000 for the Sewage Disposal System. Plans and estimates of the cost of building additions to the East Fairhaven and Oxford Schools have been obtained by the School Building Committee and are to be acted upon by a Special Town Meeting in January 1951. Plans for the Sewage Disposal Plant are still in a formative stage and no funds will be requested for some time. Action was indefinitely postpon- ed on articles which would have allowed the Sewer and
9
Water Commissioners to proceed with construction as soon as engineering for the intercepting sewer and treatment works had been completed.
Town Hall Repairs
Exterior painting of windows and doors of the town hall building was completed and all exterior ornamental lights were repaired and replaced, with considerable diffi- culty found in obtaining the large glass globes. Painting has improved the appearance of the rest rooms off the audi- torium and in the police department. A great deal of work is still to be done in the auditorium and hallways, which we recommend be restored to the original design.
Center Street
This street was widened from Main street to William street and is found to be a definite improvement. Favor- able comments have been many.
Construction of Sconticut Neck Road
No new Chapter 90 Construction was done in 1950 due to difference in regard to the layout as submitted by the en- gineers of the Department of Public Works. Controversy also centered around removal of the railroad bridge and lowering the road to track level. For the past two years the Selectmen have endeavored to get some definite action by the Railroad officials on this matter, and the best answer so far has been that it is their policy to eliminate grade crossings rather than to create them. We are now working with the Department of Public Works and the County Com- missioners in pushing this matter through for removal of the bridge. It appears that it might be some time before the matter will be settled.
Salaries and Wages
Statistics published by the Massachusetts Division of Accounts show that salaries and wages paid by the town are well below the average for cities and towns of the size of Fairhaven. That wages should be increased to compare favorably with other towns and private industry is strongly recommended and supported by this Board. All employees and salaried officials will be handicapped after the close of
10
this year, when wages will be rolled back to the 1948 level, on account of the recommendation of the Finance Commit- tee which was adopted by the annual town meeting, that the bonus of not more than $200 be paid from January 1 to December 31, 1950 only. Employees cannot sustain their families or personal obligations on the low basic pay of 1948.
Civilian Defense
At the request of the Governor of the State of Massa- chusetts the Board appointed a director of civil defense to act in building up an organization for the protection of the citizens in case of emergency. Mr. Raymond T. Babbitt, 71 Akin street, was appointed to this important position.
Tribute
The town lost a faithful employee in the death of Charles H. Lawton, Deputy Chief of the Fire Department for thirty-seven years. As time goes on his service and civic interest will stand out as a fine example of unselfish service.
In conclusion we wish to thank the heads of the town departments, the town employees and the citizens for their cooperation during the year. It is only by sincere coordina- tion of the work of the town that we can obtain the results which we all desire.
Respectfully submitted,
HAROLD E. KERWIN, Chairman CHARLES W. KNOWLTON WALTER SILVEIRA
