Report of the Selectmen
To the Citizens of the Town of Fairhaven:
The annual report of the Board of Selectmen for the year ending December 31, 1951 is herewith submitted.
The Board organized with Charles W. Knowlton as chairman and Walter Silveira as clerk of the Boards of Selectmen and Public Welfare.
Financial Condition
The balance sheet at the end of December shows Surplus Revenue of $165,289.21, Overlay Reserve of $12,094.47 and Post War Funds of $51,701.18. During the year the Surface Drainage Loan was retired and loans were taken out for Fire Pumper, Water System and for the Additions to the East Fairhaven and Oxford Schools. Revenue from the Commonwealth for income taxes and meal taxes was $60,000 less than in 1950 but departmental revenues showed a gain.
School and Street Construction
Construction is underway on both the East Fairhaven and Oxford Schools. A section of Sconticut Neck Road, south from Hathaway Street, was widened to a width of 40 feet. It is planned to construct the section from Man- hattan Avenue north to the curve in 1952. The most extensive highway repair program in the history of the department was carried out.
Town Hall Repairs and Re-decoration
Considerable maintenance work was required on the town hall. This included new stage lighting and re-wiring of the outside lights and other changes required by the Department of Public Safety. New flooring was laid in the room occupied by the Community Nursing Association. Repairs were made to all chairs in the auditorium, to windows. The basement apartment vacated by our former custodian, Mr. George Armbruster, has been remodelled and new lighting fixtures installed. The rooms are to be used for the office of Civil Defense and by the Fairhaven
9
Girls' Club. All rooms need painting and funds for this purpose are included in the budget for next year. A cyclorama was purchased for the stage.
We are sure all citizens who have entered the audi- torium recognize the fact that complete re-decoration is much to be desired. This Board has recognized it for many years but has made no recommendation until now because of inability to find anyone with knowledge and skill to restore the decorative scheme of this beautiful building.
Mr. George De Felice, who has recently restored the Millicent Library to its original beauty, has surveyed the Town Hall and has submitted at no charge a colored sketch showing the type of decoration he proposed to carry out if given authority to do so. Among Mr. De Felice's most recent assignments, work on which was completed in January 1952, is the restoration of the State House in Providence, R. I.
It is the opinion of this Board that it is the sacred duty of the citizens of Fairhaven to preserve the priceless gift of our benefactor, Henry H. Rogers. No money has been spent for re-decoraton of the auditorium or halls since the building was erected in 1894. Mr. De Felice's proposal for all repairs and re-decoration is very reasonable and we will, therefore, recommend to the Annual Town Meeting that authority be given the Selectmen to proceed with this work at once.
Town Accountant
A division of the work in the Selectmen's Office is recommended by this Board to the Finance Committee in its consideration of the budgetary needs for the coming year.
At present the following departments or programs are administered by the Selectmen's Office staff :"
1. Selectmen
2. Accounting Officer
3. Public Welfare
4. Aid to Dependent Children
5. Old Age Assistance
6. Disability Assistance
7. Veterans' Benefits
10
The Administrative burden is such that it is no longer practical or possible to carry on in one office. The situation reached a critical stage with the addition of the new Federal program of Disability Assistance.
We, therefore, recommend that the Selectmen be authorized by the Town Meeting to appoint a Town Accountant and to appropriate a sum of money for salary and expenses of setting up an office elsewhere in the town hall. This will relieve the staff of all bookkeeping and allow proper attention to the administration of Public Assistance and to the duties of the Selectmen's Department.
Conclusion
In conclusion we wish to thank the heads of the town department, the town employees and the citizens for their cooperation during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES W. KNOWLTON HAROLD E. KERWIN WALTER SILVEIRA
