FIRE ENGINEERS' REPORT.
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 10 fire alarm calls and 23 still alarms.
The total loss by fire, as estimated by the Board, was $5,350.
During the year 1,650 feet of hose was purchased, as per vote at the annual town meeting, at a cost of $891. The Protecting Society wagon was again placed in commission, and blankets purchased for same, at a cost of $210.
We recommend that a new fire station be erected for all centrally located apparatus.
We also recommend that $2,600 be appropriated this year.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
The board organized with the choice of Charles P. Maxfield as chairman and John I. Bryant as clerk.
Miss Lillian H. Simas was chosen as secretary of the Board of Overseers of the Poor.
As voted at the annual town meeting, held March 2nd, 1914, five hundred ($500.00) dollars was appropriated for the pur- pose of plotting the town, the same was placed in this year's . tax levy. Mr. F. M. Metcalf, C. E., was selected by the Assessors to have charge of the work, that part of the town north of Church to Spring Streets, and from Rotch Street to the east line of the Acushnet river, to be completed this year.
As voted by the town at its annual Town Meeting, the bill presented by the City of New Bedford for Fairhaven's part of the maintenance of the bridge, for the year 1912-13, amounting to $1,759.76 was paid an placed in the tax levy 1914.
The Selectmen as authorized, sold and delivered deed of conveyance in the name of the town, the Schoolhouse lot known as the Grammer School lot on Center Street, to Ella Greenleaf. Amount received from sale ($1,000.00), the same was placed to the credit of the Incidental Account.
As there had been many complaints about the Street Lights not being lighted when necessary about the town, the Select- men in order to control and have our street lighting more satisfactory, have had installed in Town Hall building, the required apparatus for controling the lights. The New Bed- ford Gas & Edison Light Co. went to considerable expense changing the same from Wilson's Store to present location. The switch boards and system is now under the control of the janitor of the building.

As the town voted at annual Town Meeting to reserve a part of the Town Farm at the north end east side of Main Street for park purposes. The Selectmen have had surveyed and proper bound stones placed at each corer of said layout. About 12 acres are by this survey reserved for park purposes.
As it was voted at the annual Town Meeting to enlarge the present school building at Oxford, to accommodate the in- creasing number of children in that district, and as the Selectmen and School Committee were elected as a committee co have charge of the construction, and other matters opper- taining to same. The committee have attended to their duties and respectfully make the following report. It was decided to enlarge the present building, by an addition making the building large enough to have eight school rooms instead of four as formerly, by doing this it will accommodate the in- creasing number of pupils in that district for several years. In increasing the size of the building and also to conform to the state laws regarding the sanitary and fire protection con- ditions many bills were contracted that caused the expense of conforming to said laws much larger than anticipated. As there has been much discussion in Town Meetings and as the citizens at the north end have often expressed a desire to have a fire alarm bell at their end of the town, the committee after consideration decided to have installed the fire alarm bell at the present time, as it could be placed in position at less expense before the tower was completed, and there was an opportunity to purchase the historic bell, known as the Phoenix Hall Bell, at a very low figure, induced the com- mittee to act upon same. The assistance of Clifton A. Hacker, Superintendent of Fire Alarm, in buying the bell and in other ways helping to connect the system with the Fire Alarm, saved the town many expenses in installing same. When completed the Schoolhouse will be an up-to-date mod- ern building in every respect. In accordance with the vote passed at annual Town Meeting, for payment of bills con- tracted on said building, the Town Treasurer by approval of the Selectmen negotiated a loan to the amount of twenty-
69
eight thousand dollars, with the New Bedford Institution of Savings, to be paid by serial notes, last note coming due in the year 1934.
As the town at the present time was not in possession of any public landing place on the water front, and as the old pier formerly used as part of the bridge, could be obtained by the town for such purposes. The Selectmen, after the con- sent of the federal government was obtained, had presented to the State Legislature a bill authorizing the town to take, hold and use the same, for the purpose of a wharf or free public landing place, together with so much of the public highway leading thereto as the Selectmen of said town may determine to be necessary or convenient for use in connection with said public landing.
