Report of the Park Commission
To the Citizens of Fairhaven :
The report of the Park Department for 1944 up to Sep- tember 14th may be summarized much as for the previous season : the same two faithful employees carrying on, a nor- mal war year with some extra spring cleaning and pruning due to early closing in the fall of 1943 and a little plant re- newal at strategic points. Equipment was maintained at a good level with the exception of the 1928 truck which was kept in operation with difficulty.
The three playgrounds, operating on a longer schedule of nine and ten weeks, recorded an all time high attend- ance in spite of continued heat and were a resource to parents and children alike. The figures follow: At Cushman (10 weeks) 1197 registered with a daily average of 201; at Oxford (9 weeks) 372 were enrolled with an average of 84 and at Anthony (10 weeks of 2 days each) 165 were reg- istered with a 36 average. Approximately 450 visitors were recorded at the three centers.
And after the hurricane! The toll was heavy,-as in other sections tree damage greater than water. The Cook Memorial, Bridge, Marine and Cushman Parks were flood- ed with disastrous effects to lawns and shrubbery. Tree loss in Cushman Park was high but replacable in time. More to be regretted are the 2 sycamores at Willow Park and the 10 cedars at Fort Phoenix which added so much in pic- turesqueness to these unique Parks. The total tree loss was 55
The job of taking care of all this was rather over- whelming to the small personnel, but two additional men were secured, the town helped with the removal of large stumps and by Thanksgiving things were in fair shape for the winter.
Much replacement in trees and shrubs will be neces- sary and as much as is practicable will be undertaken dur- ing the coming season.

Report of Civilian Defense Special Appropriation Committee
The Civilian Defense personnel has been in existence almost three years. For the last year they have been in- activated or on call. The people of Fairhaven who have been active on Civilian Defense have rendered a great service for their country during a great national crisis. Their willing- ness to sacrifice time, effort and personal convenience, all without compensation, in order to minimize the suffering and damage of others is the highest exemplification of volunteer service.
The favorable progress of the war meant the conse- quent inactivity of the Civilian Defense Appropriation Committee in 1944. The operation of the Report Center was discontinued in June and the only expense at the pres- ent time is for the telephone and one extension to the Police Department and cost of leased telephone wires to sound the audible alarm system. We have taken up with the Mass. Committee of Public Safety several times during the year the matter of discontinuance of audible alarm system but we have been informed no other community has discon- nected their alarms and suggested we keep on as is for the time being.
At present expenditures total $19,931.96, which, de- ducted from the original appropriation of $27,000, leaves a balance on hand of $7,068.04.

Report of the Tree Warden and Moth Superintendent
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 giv- en a second spraying to keep under control the later breed- ing 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.
As you all know, we had a hurricane which did a lot of damage to our trees throughout the town such as broken limbs and uprooted trees. At present I have removed 642 stumps and 1,718 blocks. I have also topped 30 trees which will be removed this spring. There are about 30 more trees to be taken down which are very dangerous to the public.
I plan on planting about 600 trees this spring to replace the trees that we lost during the hurricane.
I wish to thank all department heads and men who co- operated with my department during the hurricane.
I recommend an appropriation of $9,000 for the care of trees in 1945.
There have been no browntail moths on the trees this year, but there have been a number of gypsy moths, both on street trees and on private property and also a large number of tent caterpillars.
I have treated these with creosote and have sprayed a large number of wild cherry trees to eliminate the tent cat- erpillars.
I recommend an appropriation of $300 for the moth department in 1945.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN JARVIS, Tree Warden and Moth Superintendent.

Report of Sewer Commissioners
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The Board of Sewer Commissioners organized with G. Winston Valentine as chairman and John M. Reilly as clerk. Meetings were held on Thursday evenings from 7 to 8 o'clock.
In the past years all new connections and repairs made were charged to the property owner after making an esti- mated cost of same, then paid for out of maintenance. In 1944 the auditors from the State Department told us to charge all connection costs directly to maintenance and when the money is received from the property owners it is credited to the general fund, or town treasury. This change in the system of accounting has made the cost of mainten- ance much higher than in the past.
Twenty new connections were installed and one re- paired, making a total number of connections now in use 1684.
Respectfully submitted,
G. WINSTON VALENTINE JOHN M. REILLY LAWRENCE B. MAXFIELD
Board of Sewer Commissioners.
