To the Citizens of Fairhaven :
The Tree Warden hereby respectfully submits his an- nual report.
The trees of the Town are in a fairly good and healthy condition, much work having been done trimming the dead limbs and removing dead trees. The work of spray- ing must continue to insure the healthy condition of the trees, and as long as we want the trees we must expect to spend money. The tree department planted fifty young Maples the Improvement Association furnished, and we planted one hundred small Maples, which is a fairly good showing and insures the Town that the beauty of its street will be preserved.
The Tree Warden respectfully recommends that the citizens appropriate the sum of two thousand dollars.
Respectfully submitted,
PETER MURRAY, Tree Warden.

REPORT OF PARK COMMISSION FOR 1922.
The past year has been a memorable one in the his- tory of Cushman Park, as it has seen a most remarkable development of useful activity.
The public spirit and generosity of the Fairhaven Mothers' Club made it possible to have Mr. Edward Pid- geon in charge of playground activities, and under his guidance and inspiration the work has proved of great value to all the children.
The ball fields were in use all summer and Sunday games proved a great attraction.
The older boys co-operated with the Park Board and offered their services in erecting a suitable backstop on the principal diamond and putting up benches along the base lines. Lunches and material being furnished at special prices by public spirited citizens.
The Band Concerts held in the park have proved very popular and in order to please the automobile guests, the park was opened to the cars on concert nights and traffic officers directed the entrance and exit and also the park- ing along Green Street. Mr. Poor, the new member of the Board was given special charge of developing the park lands east of the Oxford School, using the special extra appropriation of $500 in preparing and surfacing a ball dia- mond.
This park has proved very popular and if we are al- lowed adequate appropriation it may be further developed.
It is very necessary that a playground be provided the children in this part of the town.
It is quite feasible at small expense to flood this land in the Fall and create a skating pond of large area and shallow.
The park being constantly used as a playground is serving a very real need and its future development is full of interesting possibilities.
Your Board felt that it would be a distinct advantage
84
to the park and to the Town to have lights installed and this has been done under a very favorable arrangement with the N. E. Gas and Edison Light Co., whose officials were much interested to co-operate with us.
Mr. James Goggin has given you another year of faithful and efficient service and has kept the grounds in very good condition.
With new land to be developed as park land, formerly the old High School lot, and the usual expenses and the unknown expenses of playground development, the Board of 1923 would seem to require a larger appropriation, and we have asked for $3500, to be used in the best interests of the townspeople, young and old.
Respectfully submitted, HARRY L. POPE, Chairman and Secretary,
MABEL L. POTTER, LOUIS F. POOR. Board of Park Commissioners.

FIRE ENGINEERS' REPORT.
The Board of Fire Engineers herewith submit their an- nual report for the year ending December 31, 1922.
During the past year this department has answered 44 still alarms and 10 bell alarms. One out of town call from the town of Mattapoisett was answered by our chemical.
One new fire alarm box has been installed and the addi- tion of at least three more, located at schoolhouses, is very strongly urged.
The motorized hook and ladder truck which has been in constant use for over two years has given excellent service, especially in answering alarms received while the chemical was out on a previous alarm.
