The Selectmen's Message
On February 12, 1962 the Board organized as follows: Walter J. Borowicz, Chairman of Selectmen, Board of Pub- lic Welfare, and Veterans' Agent; James B. Lanagan, Clerk, and Walter Silveira.
Fairhaven celebrated its Sesquicentennial year which at- tracted many visitors from distant points to the various events that were held during the week of July 21-29, 1962.
To assist our local waterfront industry a waterfront sur- vey was completed by the Walter E. Rowley Associates under the provisions of Chapter 91 and consideration was given to the final report by the Planning Board and all other interests located on our waterfront. The Selectmen have inserted in the Warrant for the Annual Town Meeting an article seeking authorization to petition the General Court for authorization to expend funds on the waterfront, so that dredging that is so necessary can be started at the earliest possible time.
Many waterfront businesses have expanded during the year and the newly re-zoned industrial area at Bridge Street and Alden Road is taking on a new look with the building of the Fairhaven Lumber Co. Before expansion can be seri- ously considered in the new industrial area the problem of the dump has to be resolved. Various studies are being con- ducted relative to the problem of disposal and many sug- gestions have been made, but the Selectmen have inserted an article in the warrant requesting that funds be made available for a proper engineering survey to be made regard- ing the disposal methods that could be utilized as well as the best location which will have the least effect on the area.
After many years of diligent and determined effort to have the Coggeshall Street bridge replaced in view of its deplorable condition we have been successful through the efforts of Representative William Q. MacLean to have the
13
State undertake the task with assistance of Federal funds and construction on same is to get underway as the award of the contract has been made. Congressman Hastings Keith was most cooperative in having the Federal Bureau of Roads expedite their approval.
Departmental meetings have been continued and found to be very informative and beneficial by having the problems resolved with expediency. A concerted effort is being made to eliminate burning at the dump but it has been most diffi- cult to apprehend those who start the fires. Request has been made for funds to allow for better dump control which is urgently needed.
With the curtailing of bus service by Midway Bus Co. on Sconticut Neck, the Selectmen requested assistance of the Union Street Railway Co. to furnish the needed transporta- tion that was so imperative to the residents of that area. The Union Street Railway Co. was most cooperative and assented to our request.
Full and complete cooperation has been achieved among all boards, departments, and committees, with suggested improved methods being instituted. Hearings have been held on many subjects and the open meeting has brought many interested citizens to the meetings of the Board.
The Board wishes to express their sincere thanks to all elected officials and employees of the Town who have co- operated fully with this Board in expediting the various requests and by making the administration of the Town more effective in the interest of the constituency.
