TREE WARDEN'S REPORT.
Last year the town appropriated $1,000 for care and spraying the elm trees of our town, at the proper time we started in with ten men, five in each gang, we first took all the young trees, as the leaves on those trees were covered with eggs, then the next large trees and so on until we had completed all the trees that there were any signs of elm leaf beetle upon.
We also found it necessary, and for the good, as well as for the protection of our trees in the streets, to enter on private property and spray and give the same care and atten- tion to the trees in back vards, as we would to the trees in the highways.
We also found in some parts of the town, trees in back yards in far worse condition than any in the streets, and that by thoroughly spraying all the infested trees on private property as well as on the streets, and exercising due care in the destruction of beetles and larva for one or two years, the evil should then be under control.
I should recommend that an appropriation be made to con- tinue this work.
Last year 70 young elms, 50 rock maples and 50 Norway maples were set out, and with the exception of four of the elms, all are doing well. Several trees were damaged more or less by horses driven by the man that doesn't care, or the man who says, "one horse is worth more than all the trees in town." It is hard to get evidence to prosecute these
72
cases. Nobody seems willing to tell, and so the destruction goes on. One man was prosecuted and fined $20. This of course was a lesson to him, but others fail to profit by it.
Every man, woman and child, interested in the welfare of Fairhaven, should be willing to give such information as they have, when they see a horse eating away the bark and disfiguring a tree set out for shade or ornament to beautify the homes and streets of our town. The position of Tree Warden is a most unthankful one, for if he does his duty he can make more enemies than any other official in town, and so the only true friend the Tree Warden has is the man that loves nature.
JOHN I. BRYANT,
Tree Warden.
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
To the Citizens of Fairhaven :
The Selectmen present the following report :
The special reports of each department give all needed information concerning the expenditures of the past year, and will probably need no further explanation.
For the fire department, the new hook and ladder truck authorized by vote of the town at the annual meeting has been purchased and is found to be very satisfactory.
The good work on the streets has been carried on with the same degree of liberality and thoroughness that has charac- terized the methods of that department during recent years. A notable feature of the street work of the past year has been the granolithic sidewalks on Centre street and Green street, providing the citizens with the very best walk that has yet been devised, and at no expense to the town.
Probably no city or town of New England has a greater proportion of first-class streets and sidewalks than are to be found in our town, and the fact is commented on invariably by visitors.
On account of the hard winter and the excessive price of coal the poor account has been slightly overdrawn.
The Selectmen anticipated a larger collection on account of sewers, which accounts for the overdraft of the debt and interest account.
For that account, the following table will show the estimate for the coming year.
Bond, due Oct. 1,
$3,000
Interest on bonds,
2,600
Laurel street note, due Nov. 13, 2,500
Privilege street note, due Oct. 20,
1,000
74
Oxford school note, due Nov. 13, 2,500
Hook and ladder note, due Oct. 20, 600 Interest on notes, 1,000
$13,200
Overdraft of last financial year,
508
$13,708
Your Selectmen recommend the transfer to debt and interest account of $1,700 from the balance of incidental account, this together with $4,000, the amount we estimate will be collected during the coming year from sewer assessments and an appropriation of $8,000, for debt and interest account will meet the requirements as stated above.
