In accordance with a vote of the Town, made June 3, 1912. at special Town meeting, the Board of Selectmen and Fire Engineers, after securing bids and investigating different makes of motor chemicals, decided to have one built by the Pope Hartford Co., similar to the one used in Taunton, on plans furnished by their Chief Engineer. We consider the apparatus fully up to their claims, and think it was a good investment for the Town. The cost, delivered in Fairhaven. was $5,500.00. Payments for same were made by notes pay- able annually, last note due on same, 1922.
For the payment of installing sewers in Town as voted viz., Pleasant Street sewer, Oxford extension and Howland Road sewer. Notes to an amount of $12.300.00 were given to the New Bedford Institution for Savings to be paid for by annual payments, last note becoming due in the year 1922.

1912, the Selectmen filed a petition and bill with the General Court for authority to establish its own water supply and for that purpose to acquire the property of the Fairhaven Water Company if advisable, or to provide a water supply by taking water from other sources necessary for the best interest of the Town.
The following petition signed by seventy-one citizens of the Town, was received by the Board of Selectmen Sept. 9, 1912.
We. the undersigned, respectfully petition your Honorable Body to ask the Union Street Railway Company, to hold a public hearing to act upon the question, of making and con- ducting a so-called belt line in the Town of Fairhaven.
In accordance the Selectmen referred the petition to the officials of the Union Street Railway Company, stating their opinion where the extension should be made to relieve the situation, as regards the congested state of travel. that now exists during the summer months. In compliance with the request the matter of an extension of tracks was considered by the Board of Directors of the Union Street Railway Co., and was granted under certain considerations, which are now being considered by the Board of Selectmen and will be presented to the citizens of the Town at a hearing to be held very soon, upon the petition of the Union Street Railway Company for location of tracks and other privileges.
One of the most important subjects. for consideration of the citizens, is the financial problem. especially at the present time. The Board requests the citizens to investigate this question and act upon same as a business matter.
Although we feel that the Town's debt should be paid as it becomes due, at the same time we must consider, that too large a burden of debt and interest to be paid this and the following four years, would not be for the best interest of the Town. In addition to this the State compels us to pay one-eighth part of principal each year for all moneys bor- rowed on note, and that ten years shall be the limit of time on notes.
