Selectmen's Report
The first meeting of the Board of Selectmen and Over- seers of Poor was held February 14th, 1927, and organized with a choice of John I. Bryant, Chairman, and Isaac N. Babbitt, Clerk. Miss Louise Babcock was chosen Secretary of the Board of Overseers of Poor and in that capacity has given universal satisfaction to the Selectmen, the Overseers of the Poor, and to the Town in general.
The matter of coming down Bridge St. from Alden Road to Adams St. that we talked of last year has been unavoid- ably detained. The Selectmen took this matter up with the State in the early Spring but they were so rushed with their summer work all over the State they were unable to do anything for us at that time. We took the matter up with them again in the fall hoping to be able to get plans, etc. ready for this next meeting, but due to the open winter the State men have been kept busy. They are now how- ever, working on these plans and the matter will probably be taken up later on in the year.
Due to the overcrowded condition at the Rogers School it was necessary to purchase the two roomed portable school. This is now occupied by two sixth grades that were formerly in the main building. The room left vacant by them is now occupied by two seventh grades. This has relieved the con- dition considerably so that there is now only one class in the Assembly hall on the third floor of the main building.
The finishing of the room at the East Fairhaven school has relieved the crowded condition in that section of the Town. This section grew very rapidly last year. The class now occupying this room was formerly held in the hall.
48
Plans and specifications for the Mosquito drainage were furnished by the Improvement Association and after ad- vertising for bids the work was awarded to the low bidder, E. M. Skinner of Bloomfield, N. J., at the rate of $20.00 per acre. The work was carried out under the joint super- vision of the Board of Selectmen and a special committee of the Improvement Association.
With the appropriation and additional funds all salt marsh areas from the Acushnet-Fairhaven line to the southern ex- tremity of the Great Marsh at Priest's Cove, some 120 acres, were drained for prevention of mosquito breeding during April, May and June.
Maintenance work was carried on during July, August and September under the direction of the street department.
While the summer season was unusually wet, tending to create ideal mosquito breeding conditions, inspection of the area drained showed breeding of the salt water mosquito to be at a practical minimum, with a corresponding relief throughout the south, center and north part of the Town.
You will find in the warrant, articles asking for many streets to be macadamized or put in passable condition. The Selectmen have recommended that as much as can be done on those streets should be done if it is possible to get the materials and the town votes the necessary appropria- tions.
All of which we most respectfully submit to the people of the Town of Fairhaven for their good judgment.
Selectmen of Fairhaven. JOHN I. BRYANT, THOMAS W. WHITFIELD, ISAAC N. BABBITT,
Report of the Highway Department
At the beginning of the year, the Selectmen appointed Thomas W. Whitfield, Superintendent of Streets.
At the Annual Town Meeting this year we had a number of streets to be macadamized, all were approved of at the meeting and the work has been completed.
The macadamizing of Howland Road and Sycamore St. at a cost of $10,000.00 was recommended by the Selectmen and this work has certainly made a big improvement in that section of the Town.
Gelette Road, Weeden Road and Mill Road, all located in East Fairhaven have been macadamized, this is also an in- provement for that section as well as a great help during the open winter.
The re-location and widening of Farmfield St. has been one of the greatest improvements in the south end. In making this new location it was necessary to move back · one house and put it in good condition.
Chestnut St. was laid out from the north line of Church St. northerly to the south line of South St. and a good cinder road has been built.
South Pleasant St. has been macadamized and Hedge St. west of Cherry St. has been macadamized and the sidewalks on Hedge St. have been fitted.
50
The sidewalks on Washington St. has been completed making a good walk for the children going to and from the East Fairhaven School which is very necessary due to the danger on the State Highway going to the Cape.
The bad condition that existed on North Main St. from Riverside Cemetery to Coggeshall St. has been repaired.
Article 29 of the warrant to construct a sidewalk on Scon- ticut Neck Road was most necessary due to the dangers along this road with the summer travel at the beaches. After completion of the sidewalk, by special arrangement with the N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. we were able to widen the bridge over the railroad, at a very low cost.
The collection of ashes and rubbish have been cared for under the supervision of the street department and the ashes have been used to fill in the property owned by the Town. There is an article in the Annual warrant for the Town to purchase seven more lots to be filled in, to be used for future needs of the Town, and I hope to have this article approved of at the meeting.
The citizens of the town are most respectfully asked not to dump rubbish in the gutters of the streets as, in the first place, it is against the law, and in the second place, it makes an unsightly mess, so we hope that the citizens will co- operate with the Superintendent of Streets, whoever he may be, in this particular work.
All of which is most respectfully submitted,
THOMAS W. WHITFIELD,
Superintendent of Streets.

Report of the Board of Sewer Commissioners
ORGANIZATION: G. Winston Valentine, Chairman, Frank W. Morse, Clerk, Wm. J. Fitzsimmons, Superin- tendent of Equipment.
SEWER CONSTRUCTION : Authorized by vote of the Town at the Annual Meeting held Feb. 6th. 1926 for Sewer in Hedge and Taber Streets westerly from Cherry St. with an outlet in the Acushnet River, said sewer was put out to contract to the B. F. Watkins Transportation Co. in 1926 but was not fully completed until July of this year 1927.
SEWER BUILT BY PRIVATE ENTERPRISE AND TAKEN OVER BY TOWN: Sewer in North Walnut Street, 188 feet of 8 inch pipe built by Francis J. Denby at a cost of $325.00 and taken over by the Town at cost.
Sewer in North St. built by Frank J. Ketcham and taken over by the Town at a cost of $550.00.
TRANSFERS VOTED: To transfer from the Sewer Assessment Account the sum of $1,000.00 to pay off the loan on the Dover, Morgan, and Winsor St. Sewers also to transfer from this same account the sum of $1,404.00 to pay off the loan on the Jefferson St. and Linden Ave. Sewers.
SEWER CONNECTIONS: During the year 1927 nine connections have been repaired and forty-nine new connec- tions made, which gives a total of 1351 connections now in use.
65
ELECTRICAL SEWER STATIONS: The department has completed its third year of uninterrupted service to the Town, so far as the disposal of sewage is concerned. The pumping machinery which was purchased in 1922 and 1924 is doing excellent work at a minimum cost. From Jan. 1st, 1925 to Jan. 1st, 1928, the period of actual operation the saving over the Shone system of sewerage was approxim- ately $24,000.00.
Judging from the time the equipment has been in service and from the efficient work it is doing the Commissioners are confident that by 1931 the total appropriation for the four stations will have been paid back to the Town.
