build a new schoolhouse at the north end. We asked in the annual Town Meeting held February 7, 1921, for au- thority to hire $85,000 for a schoolhouse to be located on North Main Street." The contract for the building was let in April and the building was completed in October and several of the rooms are now occupied. The Board of Se- lectmen, the School Committee and the contractors with the architect worked in harmony so as to carry out the vote of the Town and have this building ready in time. The building, which has been named the Edmund Anthony School, is completed and is a success in every way so far as we are able to judge. After paying for school furniture, sidewalks and everything pertaining to the school, we have a balance of $12,000 left which can be used for other school buildings or increasing the floor space of other schools.
We are now considering the question of the Rogers Annex, socalled, on Washington Street. There have been rnany complaints in the past as to the heating, ventilating and sanitary conditions of this building, and many of the people of the town thought that we ought to abandon it and build a new schoolhouse. We have employed an ar- chitect to look over this building, and we find that by rais- ing the building about three feet, leaving the lower floor in the same position that it is at the present time, we will get three more feet overhead space than we have at the present time. It will add three feet to the windows so that it will give more light to the rooms. By digging out the cellar we can get rid of the old heating plant which is nothing but two old fashioned furnaces, and place in the basement two small sectional boilers. With the boilers in the basement we can add two more rooms to the building, making it an eight-room building with all the santitary ar- rangements as good as could be in any new building. This matter will come up at some future Town Meeting.
Article 13 to be acted upon Saturday, the fourth of February, calls for a town lot. The Town at the present
54
time has no town lot that it owns. We are paying rent for one on North Adams Street, and we also have the old police station and the old hook and ladder shed on Wash- ington Street which is used for sewer department supplies. The Water Company has no lot. The fire alarm and park departments which have no proper place are in need of a town lot, and we believe the Town should purchase this lot or take it under the eminent domain act which is called for in Article 13.
In West Elm Avenue as laid out by the Selectmen, from Main Street to the Acushnet River, and accepted at the special Town Meeting held October 25, 1921, there' has been a splendid improvement made by moving the house away from the head of the street, leaving a clear view down Elm Street to the river. We are now asking the Town at the annual Town Meeting to accept Articles 14 and 15 so that we can sell this house and lot and turn the inoney back into the Town to offset the appropriation as made in that special Town Meeting for carrying out the vote of instructions to the Board of Selectmen.
At the special Town Meeting held August 16, 1921, it was voted to authorize the Selectmen to appoint a com- mittee of three to frame a set of building rules for the Town. The Selectmen appointed upon that committee William Tallman, the architect, Charles I. Drew and E. P. Hirst, so that you have a committee comprising an archi- tect, a carpenter, and a plumber, in whom the Selectmen have the utmost confidence, who have drafted the building rules. What they were appointed to do ought to be at least endorsed by the people and we sincerely recommend for the good and future welfare of the Town that these by- laws be adopted at this regular Town Meeting.
At the special Town Meeting held August 16, 1921, Hedge Street and Cherry Street were laid out and accepted, -Hedge Street from Main Street to Cherry Street and Cherry Street from Taber to Cooke Street. Those two streets were laid out under what is known as new construc- tion and we have a balance of that appropriation to help

put them in good condition the coming year. Water, sewers and hydrants were put in those streets and they could not have been macadamized with the soft dirt of those newly dug trenches at that time, so that matter will he cared for during the present year.
It was also voted in Article 7 of the special Town Meeting held August 16, 1921, to accept the state system of bookkeeping and accounting. Now all the bills pass through the Selectmen's office and the Treasurer pays them on a blanket order signed by the Selectmen. Under this system, the officials of the Town can tell at any time how much money has been expended, how much has been ap- propriated and what the balances are.
In 1914 the Town voted to take over the Fairhaven Water Company. The Board of Selectmen think that among the many problems which are coming up, the Water Company is one that the Town should consider and at a future Town Meeting this matter will be brought be- fore the people to see if the Town will vote to take over the Fairhaven Water Company. The Selectmen, after a careful examination of the whole matter, have come to the conclusion that for the best interests of Fairhaven this water company should be owned and controlled by the Town.
There are many financial problems coming up in this present Town Meeting and in a special Town Meeting which is to follow and we earnestly ask the support of the citizens of the Town in these matters. All of which we most respectfully submit.

REPORT OF HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
At the beginning of the year, the Selectmen re-ap- pointed Thomas W. Whitfield as Superintendent of Streets.
At the annual Town Meeting a year ago, many streets were laid out and accepted in the north end of the town, all of which have received more or less attention as far as the appropriations and the town could afford to go. Some of those same streets will receive further attention during the coming year.
At a special Town Meeting held in August, 1920, $20,- 000 was appropriated for new construction, taking in Win- sor, Morgan and Dover Streets. These streets were graded at that time, and during the past year they have been mac- adamized with tar binder and granolithic sidewalks have been laid so that at the present time they are in as good condition as any streets in any part of the town. Water, gas, sewers and hydrants were also laid in these three streets.
At the annual Town Meeting, held February 7, 1921, Taber Street, west end, to the land of Warren Delano, was laid out, and Taber Street, east end, to Main Street, was laid out and accepted. This street has been graded and fitted and is now ready to receive macadam with tar binder this year. This has been approved by the Board of Select- men as one of the streets which should be put in good condition.
At a special Town Meeting, held August 16, 1921, Hedge Street and Cherry Street were laid out and accepted by the Town under new construction. Sewers, hydrants,
59
water and gas were put in these two streets. Hedge Street was laid out from Main Street to Cherry Street and Cherry Street was laid out and accepted from Taber to Cooke Street. We have quite a sum of money left over from last year's work credited to these two streets, which, with money taken, perhaps, from the highway, will be used to macadamize these two streets and put them in good passable condition.
At a special Town Meeting, held October 25, 1921, West Elm Avenue was laid out and accepted as recom- mended by the Board of Selectmen. The building which stood on Main Street in the way of the layout has been moved to North William Street and as soon as the Select- men have authority under Articles 14 and 15 to sell the same, this money will be placed to the credit of the Town's appropriation for the damages and layout as stated in the Town Meeting at the time of the taking. We earnestly hope that the citizens will vote unanimously for these two articles so that this whole matter can be cleared up at once.
