SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
The first meeting of the Board of Selectmen and Over- seers of the Poor was held Feb. 10, 1917, and organized with the choice of Charles P. Maxfield as Chairman and John I. Bryant as Clerk.
Miss Lillian II. Simas was chosen as Secretary of the Board of Overseers of the Poor.
As voted at the Annual Town Meeting, the sum of five hundred (500.00) dollars was appropriated for the purpose of continuing the plotting system of the Town. Mr. F. M. Metcalf, C. E., was selected by the Assessors to have charge of the work, that part of the Town south of Washington Street commencing at Hitch Street extending to the Mill Road, thence extending south to Buzzards Bay and on Sconticut Neck south as far as the part known as the Narrows.
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 New Bedford and Fairhaven bridge for the year 1915-1916 amounting to $1,880.84 was paid, and placed in the tax levy 1917.
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 Coggeshall Street Bridge for the years 1914-1915-1916, amounting to $421.04 was paid and placed in the tax levy 1917.
As voted at Annual Town Meeting, the sum of $1,000.00 was appropriated for the purchase of an automobile chassis, to be located at the so-called Oxford Engine House. The Board of Fire Engineers by the approval of the Selectmen have procured the same and placed the apparatus in com- mission; the sum of $746.06 has been paid on account, leav- ing a balance of $253.94.
As the Town voted at the Annual Meeting to refer the matter of a new engine house and lot for same to the Board of Selectmen to report upon at some future meeting, the Board would report that owing to the Town financial con-
76
dition and the cost of all building material at the present time and as the Town was called upon to build a new school house, we would advise the matter lay over until some future time.
At the Annual Town Meeting the Town voted to accept the report of Selectmen relative to the laying out of Farm- field Street from Cedar Street to the waters of Buzzards Bay and appropriated the sum of $2,500.00 for the payment of construction of street and awards of damages; the said amount was raised by giving serial notes.
At the Annual Town Meeting the Town voted to ac- cept the report of Selectmen relative to the laying out of Adams Street from the north side of Huttlestone Avenue to Morton Street, and appropriated the sum of $5,000.00 for the payment of construction of street and awards of dam- ages, the said amount was raised by giving serial notes. This layout was called for by the Massachusetts Highway Com- missioners who were willing to build a cement slab road from Huttlestone Avenue to the Town of Acushnet line if the Town would widen and lay out the street as they recomended. The state continued the slab road to Acushnet Village. We now have very nearly four miles of one of the best roads there is in Massachusetts.
At the Special Town Meeting held April 28, 1913, the citizens unanimously voted that the Town accept the trust created by the following provisions of the will of the late Henry H. Rogers :-
I give and bequeath to the Town of Fairhaven in the State of Massachusetts, the sum of One Hundred Thousand (100,000) Dollars, in trust, however, as a permanent en- dowment fund, and I direct that the income thereof be ap- plied between the maintenance of the Primary and Grammar Schools of the said Town of Fairhaven.
In accordance with provisions of the said will as to the management of said Trust Fund, the Board of Selectmen submit the following statement :-

78
Income received from Anthony Trust Fund year 1916, $404.00.
At Special Town meeting held June 26, 1917, the Town voted to accept from Mr. Henry H. Rogers the lot of land corner of Bridge and Green streets, containing about 200 rods, which he so generously gave to the Town for the pur- pose of building the proposed school house upon. It was also voted that the thanks of the Town be extended to Mr. Rogers for his kindness and generosity. The same was attended to by the Town Clerk.
In accordance with the vote at the Annual Town Meet- ing, the joint committee investigated the several locations and kinds of school house required to accommodate and take care of the increase of pupils that attend the elementary schools, reporting the same at the Special Town Meeting held June 6, 1917.
At Special Town meeting held June 6, 1917, the joint committee consisting of board of selectmen and school com- mittee, reported in favor of building a one-story building on lot given to the Town by Mr. H. H. Rogers, corner of Bridge and Green streets, to be built from plans drawn by William Tallman, architect.
The Town voted to accept the committee's report, and voted to appropriate the sum of thirty-eight thousand (38,- 000.00) dollars for the purpose of constructing same, to be paid by serial notes, two thousand (2,000.00) dollars to be paid each year.
One of the most important subjects for consideration and action for the Board to take action upon the past year was the petitions of the Union Street Railway Co. for an extension of traeks in the Town to relieve the congested state of travel that with the present facilities for transportation to and from Fort Phoenix now exists. The Board of Select- men received a petition from the Union Street Railway Co. for extension of tracks dated March 20, 1917. Said petition after hearing held Monday, May 7th, 1917, at Town Hall, as it was voted almost unanimously at said hearing not to ap- prove the petition as asked for. The Board of Selectmen at
79
a meeting held May 18, 1917, considered said petition and the Board voted not to grant same.
At Annual Town meeting, the Town voted to accept Article 49 in warrant, in reference to advisory committee, and referred the matter of committee to the Selectmen. The Selectmen appointed the following to act as an advisory to the Board on the Street Railway question. The Board selected Daniel C. Potter, Walter C. Sherman, David P. Valley, David N. Kelley and Howard H. Stillman. After viewing the proposed locations with the Selectmen they re- ported as follows:
To the Board of Selectmen :---
- The committee of citizens elected to confer and advise with your board concerning more adequate facilities for street railway service to Fort Phoenix, having in mind both the desirability of cooperation with the street railway offi- cials and also the necessity of carefully safeguarding and conserving the interests of the town, desires to submit the following recommendations :
(1) That any additional service to Fort Phoenix be over a route essentially new and separate from the existing route.
(2) That any additional or excessive use of the Main street grade crossing be strongly discouraged.
(3) That the Street Railway company be prohibited from making any connection south of Washington street between the existing route and any new Fort Phoenix route.
(4) That your board offer the Street Railway Com- pany the privilege of laying new tracks as follows : in Middle street between Huttlestone avenue and Bridge street; in Bridge street between Middle street and Jefferson street ; in Jefferson street between Bridge street and Spring street; in Pleasant street between Spring street and the steam railroad, between Pleasant street and Chestnut street across the south side of the Town lot and thence over the steam railroad by bridge at Chestnut street and continuing in Chestnut street by the most direct course to and into the Fort property.
80
(5) That the street railway company be offered the privilege of laying double tracks south of Washington street.
(6) If this route should be accepted the committee rec- ommends that Chestnut street south of the steam railroad be suitably laid out and straightened to properly accommodate the street railway traffic.
D. C. POTTER, Chairman, DAVID P. VALLEY, DAVID N. KELLEY, H. H. STILLMAN, WALTER C. SHERMAN,
Committee ._
Fairhaven, May 21, 1917.
At a hearing held later the Street Railway Company through its president, Mr. Crapo, refused to accept the re- port as one that met their approval and therefore refused to petition for same, the main reason as stated by him was the calling for two separate lines in Fairhaven.
Later the Street Railway Company filed petition with Board for another location which the Selectmen, after con- ference with Mr. Crapo, decided not to approve, and so in- formed him.
At this time the Board had filed with them a petition of citizens, containing about two hundred names, claiming their route would be more equitable to all, than others sug- gested. The petition read as follows:
Connecting with the present track on Fort Street, thence easterly to Chestnut Street, thence northerly over the Steam Railway track to Union Street, thence easterly to Pleasant Street, thence northerly to Spring Street, continuing north- erly through Jefferson Street to Bridge Street, thence west- erly to Middle Street, thence northerly to tracks on the Bridge. By vote of the Board this petition was forwarded to the Street Railway Company office.
The route suggested by the citizens met with the ap- proval of the Street Railway Company, and they sent to the
81
Board another petition containing two routes for the citizens at hearing to select the one they approve of; said hearing was held Oct. 22, 1917. The route selected and approved was the alternative mentioned in the petition.
Immediately after the hearing petitions were filed with the Town protesting the use of Chestnut Street north of rail- road track and Farmfield Street for the use of tracks in said streets.
The Board of Selectmen are very anxious to have the question settled, they desire to do that which will be for the best interest of the Town and give to the Street Railway Company a chance to relieve the present congestion during the summer months. The Selectmen expect to come to some decision very soon.
In accordance with the vote at Annual Town Meeting, that certain sidewalks be constructed under the law for pay- ment of same, the Board made contract for building grano- lithic sidewalks where instructed by the Town. The sum of One Thousand (1,000) Dollars was appropriated for pay- ment of same. The bills are paid on same to Jan. 1, 1918, leaving a balance in treasury of Two Hundred Fifty-four 42-100 (254.52) Dollars.
At Special Town Meeting held Oct. 29, 1917, the Town voted to appropriate the sum of Twenty-five Hundred (2500) Dollars for the purpose of equipping the so-called Massa- chusetts State Guards Company. The amount was raised by note payable in November 1918.
The Selectmen call the attention of the citizens and tax payers of the Town to the financial condition of the Town. Our Town debt is increasing and about up to the debt limit. All departments of the Town are increasing their expense accounts, owing to the much larger cost of all necessary sup- plies, and the State Legislature making laws that compel the Town to furnish support for an increasing number, which formally were self-supporting. The Board most earnestly request the citizens to investigate and act upon the same in a conservative and as a business matter.

REPORT OF HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT.
The Board of Selectmen had charge of the Street De- partinent work the past year and selected to have charge of the work as foreman, Henry C. Pierce, who superintended the macadamizing and resurfacing the streets and Willian H. Bryant had charge of the general repairs on same.
The Street Department has given its usual attention to keeping the streets and gutters clean and tidy, and as it makes quite an item in the street department expense ac- count, the Board requests the citizens to refrain as much as possible from using the streets and gutters as a dumping place, it would not only give the streets a better appearance but we should all do what we can to keep up the general character of our town for cleanliness.
To retain the top covering of our street and prevent the same from being blown from the surface of our highways and also as a sanitary feature, the department continued the use of oil on our highway where most needed. For that pur- pose 10,116 gallons of Standard road oil was purchased and applied to the streets under pressure by the Standard Oil Co. Auto Sprinkler machine at a cost of $859.86.
As the Town voted $1,500.00 for the purchase of oil or some other top covering the balance was used for the pur- chase of tar.
As instructed at Annual Town meeting the street depart- ment have macadamized that part of Bridge street between the parts of said street that was macadamized last year. The sum of two thousand (2,000.00) dollars was appropriated for that purpose.
As instructed at Annual Town meeting the street depart- ment have resurfaced that part of Sconticut Neck road from the railroad bridge south: the sum of three thousand (3,000.00) dollars, was appropriated for that purpose.
As the Town voted to approve at Special Town meeting held Oct. 29, 1917, of the agreement made between the County Commissioners and the Selectmen for the continuance of the macadam on said road, the Town voted to appropriate
85
the sum of three thousand (3,000.00) dollars to be refunded back to the Town by the County of Bristol, before the first of April, 1918, the said $3,000.00 was raised by note for pay- inent of said appropriation.
To continue the macadam on Sconticut Neck. The Board of Selectmen met the State Highway Commission at Taunton and there the said State Commission agreed with the Selectmen to allow the Town Three Thousand (3,000) Dollars providing the County allowed the same. This gives the sum of Nine Thousand (9,000) Dollars for the macadamizing of that highway. The amount from State is under condition that their engineers have certain prelimi- maries over the work.
The main work done by the general highway depart- ment the past year has been resurfacing the streets, build- ing a great many streets and raising same with cinders. This we find makes a very good road and sidewalk and are an improvement over any common one after they are covered with screenings; all the streets have been resurfaced by the use of tar as binder.
The attention of the citizens is called to the law which prohibits placing any rubbish or material in the highways of the Town. As many of our citizens, janitors of our public. buildings and churches have been in the habit of cleaning their yards and lawns of grass, leaves, etc., then raking or sweeping the same into the streets, this law applies. Trust- ing this notice will be sufficient, and that we all use barrels in which to place our refuse in the future, by so doing it will be received by the ash cart.
We would also recommend that the citizens of the Town do all they can to separate the waste paper from the ashes. Perhaps if they would burn the paper, or have a separate barrel or box to place the paper in, it would help the matter ; but we are fully satisfied something must be done to abate the nuisance which now exists.
