STREET DEPARTMENT.


At the last annual meeting, all of the highway money was voted away for certain works or certain purposes, leaving nothing for the repair of country roads, the cleaning up of the streets, the use of the watering carts, snow plows, or the taking up of ashes or rubbish, which, in the opinion of the street department and many of the town's best citizens, are the real things that ought to be cared for in order to keep Fairhaven in the column where she has been for many years, with the reputation of being one of the cleanest and well-kept towns in all New England.


The vote of $2,000.00 to be appropriated from the highways for grading and blowing the ledge and macadamizing that por- tion of South Pleasant street between Farmfield Lane and Cedar street, was a useless extravagance of public moneys- blowing a ledge and building a street 800 feet long where there is not a house on the whole length of the street, and enhancing the value of private property at public expense.


The street department saw at a glance that those things could not be carried out successfully ; the law provides for and requires the repair of its public highways, for which no allow- ance was made in that town meeting.


Then the state inspector of boilers inspected the steam boiler at the crusher and condemned it. We then found it necessary, before proceeding to do any work, to get prices on a new boiler, and the bid was awarded to the Ames Company of Oswego, N. Y., they being the lowest bidder by about $200.00. No appropriation was available for this boiler, and so it had to be paid for out of the highway money.


The streets of the town have been as well cared for as they


54


possibly could be under those circumstances, and the character and dignity of the town for its cleanliness in the street depart- ment has been maintained and the vote of the town carried out as nearly as could be in accordance with the vote of the people.


The following is a brief statement of the work done in accordance with that vote :

TREE WARDEN'S REPORT.


No appropriation has been made for several years for the care of our shade trees.


We need at the present a more powerful machine in order to reach the tops of our large trees. A machine such as is used by the state commission costs about $1,000. You will also need at least $600 for supplies and labor. The above amounts would hardly do the work required if the trees are to have proper supervision.


I have taken care of the trees as best I could under the circumstances for nearly twenty years, and I wish to publicly thank all the citizens who have supported me in the past. In retiring from this office, I hope the town will elect someone who will continue the same interest that I have tried to show during all those years.


Respectfully submitted, JOHN I. BRYANT.

FIRE DEPARTMENT


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:


GENTLEMEN-The Board of Fire Engineers herewith present their report for the past year.


During the year we have had nine bell alarms and four still alarms. The total loss by fire is estimated to be about $5,000.00. Very little repairing has been done to the engine houses the past year.


Hose 1 of Oxford had a collision with the Oxford car while going to the fire on Nov. 15, and was considerably damaged, the men thrown out, and the driver, Eugene W. Miller, quite seriously hurt. Repairs were made to the carriage at a cost of $73.00. At the fire of March 3, a small shanty at the north end of the town was destroyed, and Edward Monty was burned to death.


Several of the fire alarm boxes have been equipped with glass fronts, which we hope will give better satisfaction. It is hoped that this year we may be able to replace some of the old wire with new, and thereby improve the service.


Respectfully submitted,


JOHN F. SULLIVAN, GEORGE T. THATCHER, C. F. DELANO.
