Report of Superintendent of Fire Alarm


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen, Fairhaven, Massachusetts.


Gentlemen :*


During the present year, we have extended the fire alarm boxes into two sections of the town where it was needed, viz: #731 corner Brown and Houle and #83 corner Christian and Mulberry.


We have also laid in a supply of new wire for replacement pur- poses and have on hand a good quantity of hardware and cross arms for future use.


After nearly forty-six years of continued service in caring for your Fire Alarm System, I feel that it is time for me to retire on ac- count of my health. I wish to thank the Selectmen and members of the Fire Department for their cooperation and help which has at all times been extended to me in the maintenance of this depart- ment; and it is with keen regret that I give up this work which has been so intimately connected with my life in our town.


Respectfully yours,


CLIFTON A. HACKER.

Report of the Park Commission


To the Citizens of Fairhaven:


The only constructive work for the 1943 season was the partial planting at the honor roll on the south side of Bridge Park-Memo rial Park as suggested by an interested citizen would seem most fitting and will hereafter be so designated. Basic necessities of care in clearing up, mowing and pruning have been carried on with a reduced budget and increased payroll. This meant a short- ening of the Fall season and left much extra work for Spring when the regular schedule crowds.


The Playgrounds ran the usual full time, tho a minimum of ap- paratus and supplies were needed this season. Mrs. Dutton's report as a supervisor follows:


"The usual activities at the play areas were carried on with two part time assistants and the help of Girl Scouts and pupils working for Civic Time. The total registration is still climbing, being higher each succeeding year of the twenty-two seasons- 1300 this year with very few above Junior High grade."


Average daily attendance:


Oxford (Livesey Park, five forenoons) 99


Anthony School (two forenoons) 40 Cushman Park (five afternoons) 207


In December Mrs. Dutton attended a State Conference of Recreation Workers called by Governor Saltonstall and closes her report with the following quotation, the keynote of his opening address:


"It becomes the responsibility of the community to make sure that in spite of deprivations and emergency conditions, all children shall be afforded the help that only happy play can give them in growing to their fullest strength and character.'


MABEL L. POTTER, Chairman, ARSENE G. DUVAL, HAROLD B. DUTTON, Secretary.

Report of Civilian Defense Special Appropriation Committee


To the Citizens of the Town of Fairhaven:


Due to the fact that the organization, equipping and training of Civilian Defense personnel in Fairhaven was accomplished during the first one and one-half years of its existence, the greater part of the activity of this committee naturally occurred during that same period and the occasions for this committee to function this year have been very infrequent.


The first few meetings were of short duration and were simply for the purpose of approving payment of the telephone bill and fixed salaries of our Chief Air Raid Warden, Mr. John Hagberg, and a part-time secretary.


This situation resulted in a vote authorizing the Selectmen to include these two regular fixed expenses in the monthly warrant, therebly eliminating the necessity of calling a monthly meeting of this committee for that single purpose.


Aside from the aforementioned fixed expenses there were only two major expenditures and a few miscellaneous minor bills requiring the committee's services during the year, which were as follows:


#1. SIRENS


The purchase of five sirens was requested by Mr. Hagberg and Mr. La Staiti after they had been forcibly and repeatedly im- pressed by Civilian Defense authorities in Boston that they were urgently needed. In answer to inquiry by this committee, Chief Spooner stated that these sirens could be utilized as much needed audible fire alarm signals in peace times and it was voted to pur- chase and install same upon receipt of bids which were adver- tised for in the usual manner. Subsequently they were purchased at a cost of $1058.40 and installed at a cost of $156.30.


57


#2. USED COMMERCIAL VEHICLE


To utilize two trailer pumps loaned the town by the Federal Government, Chief Spooner requested the purchase of an auto- mobile truck chassis which he could convert into a very efficient and useful piece of fire apparatus by mounting on it one of the two trailer pumps, while the second unit could be used as a trailer pump exclusively. It was explained that in order to qualify for probable permanent ownership of these pumps, now on loan to us by the Federal Government, it was necessary to satisfy Govern- ment officials that they were maintained in good working order and readily available for an emergency. It is the understanding of this committee that if this rule is complied with and a permanent need for the pumps is established by the Fire Department, owner- ship of them will revert to the town free of cost, or they will be sold to the town by the Federal Government at an insignificant fraction of their value.


Therefore, in view of these facts, this committee authorized the purchase of a truck chassis, suitable to Chief Spooner, on which to mount one of the trailer pumps at a cost not to exceed $950.00, said purchase to be made following the advertising for bids in the usual manner. This was done and the town Fire Department now has permanently available an additional pumper which is being used to excellent advantage.


#3. MISCELLANEOUS MINOR EXPENSES


These consist of minor monthly bills for office supplies and services in connection with the maintenance of the Report Center, gasoline, oil and usual sundry expenses on the Demolition truck and necessary minor expenditures for the Auxiliary State Guard and Fire Department, none of which involves a great deal of money but nevertheless are itemized and examined by this com- mittee before payment is approved.


At a recent meeting of this committee the members felt that in view of public opinion, the general favorable trend of the war . and the apparent opinion of Government officials to the effect that the possibility of an air raid was no longer acute, as evidenced by the drastic modification of the dim-out rules, that the time had arrived for a reduction in the fixed operating expenses of our Civilian Defense organization.


58


As the result, a committee was appointed by the Chairman, Dr. Kerwin, to confer with Chief Air Raid Warden Hagberg, ac- quaint him with our wishes and, with his assistance, evolve a plan whereby the Civilian Defense organization would be maintained intact and ready for an emergency at a very minimum cost to the town.


We are pleased to report that this was accomplished and a substantial monthly saving has resulted.


As a matter of record, this committee wishes to publicly ex- press appreciation to Mr. Hagberg for his splendid spirit of co-oper- ation in this and other pertinent matters which have arisen during the year.


At the present time expenditures total $19,021.35 which, de- ducted from the original $27,000.00, leaves a balance on hand of $7,978.65. Complete records of all expenditures, together with minutes of each meeting, are available for inspection by any inter- ested citizen of this town and the committee cordially invites your comment, suggestions or recommendations concerning the future operation policy, or abolishment, of Civilian Defense.

Report of Inspector of Animals


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen, The Board of Health and Citizens of the Town:


Under the supervision of the Division of Livestock Disease Control, and in co-operation with the Board of Health.


Inspected are 159 grade cows from out of state.


I have quarantined 24 dogs for biting, during the past year, and sent one dog's head to the Laboratory for examination.


There has been no case of Rabies.


Respectfully submitted,


SAMUEL C. BARRETT, Inspector of Animals.

Report of the Moth Superintendent


To the Board of Selectmen:


Gentlemen:


There have been no browntail moths on the trees this year, but there has been a number of gypsy moths both on street trees and on private property and also a large number of tent cater- pillars. I have treated these with creosote and have sprayed a large number of wild cherry trees to eliminate the tent caterpillars.


I recommend an appropriation of $300.00 for the department in 1944.


Respectfully submitted,


JOHN JARVIS, Moth Superintendent.


61


Report of the Tree Warden


To the Board of Selectmen:


Gentlemen:


All street trees throughout the town have been sprayed, as well as a large number on private property, to safeguard our shade trees, and in various parts of the town I have given a second spray- ing to keep under control the later breeding of beetles. As a result of this extra care given the elms, the leaves remained on the trees much longer and in a healthier condition.


I have trimmed a large number of trees in various parts of the town and fifty young trees have been planted. I have taken down fifteen large trees and eighteen small trees which were very dan- gerous.


I am asking $3,000.00 for spraying, trimming and care of trees as well as for the removal of about fifteen large elm trees which are very dangerous to the public.


I recommend an appropriation of $3,000.00 for the care of trees in 1944.


Respectfully submitted,


JOHN JARVIS,


Tree Warden.
