TREE WARDEN'S REPORT.
Last year no appropriation was made by the town for the care, and spraying the elm trees. But as the beetle made its appearance it was found necessary that some work should be done, and on the 5th day of July six men were put to work spraying and kept to work until August 19th, at a total cost of $390.00. The elm-leaf beetle seems to be on the wane in this part of the state. We found the same as in previous years that it was necessary to go on private grounds for the general good as well as for the protection of our trees in the streets ; to give the same care and atten- tion to the back yard as to the highway. I would recommend a small appropriation be made to carry on this work if nec- essary.
Through the generosity of Mr. H. H. Rogers 100 young trees were set out and most of them are doing well, a few on Washington street having died from some unknown cause. Some complaints were made as to persons being care- less and allowing their horses to damage our trees, but in every case when spoken to promised that they would take more care in the future, and for that reason it is earnestly requested that all the people of Fairhaven join with the Tree Warden and render such assistance as is necessary for the better protection of our shade trees.
JOHN I. BRYANT,
Tree Warden.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
To the Citizens of Fairhaven :
The selectmen present the following report, referring to the special reports herein contained for details of each department.
Upon the petition of Herbert Parker, Attorney-General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, at the relation of the inhabitants of the town of Fairhaven praying for the appointment of said town of Fairhaven as trustee of the Pease School Fund, it was decreed that the town of Fair- haven be appointed trustee of the Pease School Fund, created by the will of Abner Pease, duly proved and allowed.
The original amount of the fund being $5,000.00 and deposited in the New Bedford Five Cents Savings Bank, February 2d, 1882; this with the interest amounting to $7,558.12 constituted the fund on deposit October 23, 1903. The dividends amounting to $305.34 for the year 1904 were placed to the credit of the School Department.
The work of the highway as usual has been very satis- factory, the special report of the Assistant-Superintendent giving the details. A notable feature of this work is the care given to gutters and street cleaning, and the prompt use of the snow plough on sidewalks.
In estimating the expenditures for 1905 the following items are noted ;
69
Estimated amount of interest due, $3.926.87
Laurel street sewer note, due Oct. 20, 1905, $800.00
Christian street extension note, due Oct. 20, 1905,
800.00
Cottage street note, due Oct. 20, 1905, 850.00
Pease district sewer note, due Nov.
12, 1905, 1,500.00
3,950
Bond due,
3,000.00
Total debt and interest due in 1905,
$10,876.87
Credit to debt and interest account,
3,133.28
Balance,
$7,743.59
The poor department account was overdrawn to the amount of $635.45, while there are accounts due from other towns of $462.45 for advances made on their account.
Concerning the appropriation of $800 for Sycamore street extension, it was not found necessary to make this loan.
The Selectmen would suggest that an appropriation of $6,000 be made for debt and interest, there being as shown above to the credit of this account the sum of $3,133.28. These sums together with the estimated collection of $2,000 on account of sewer assessments will furnish the required amount to meet the needs of debt and interest.
