I have quarantined 17 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.
During my inspection of barns, and cattle this year, I found many cattle that were not as clean as they should be.
As people buy the milk that comes from these cattle, for food, something should be done about the situation.

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 given a second and third spraying to keep under con- trol 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.
This past year I removed 50 stumps and at present have 25 trees topped which will be removed this Spring and about 30 dead trees to be taken down.
I have trimmed about 800 trees throughout the town and have planted 150 Maples and Elms in various parts of the town.
This year our spray truck has broken down beyond re- pair and I have placed an article in the town warrant for a new spray outfit to replace our old spray outfit.
I recommend an appropriation of $4500 for the care of trees in 1947.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN JARVIS, Tree Warden.
CARE OF MOTHS
To the Board of Selectmen.
Gentlemen :
There have been no Browntail Moths on the trees this year but there have been a number of Gypsy Moths and Tent Caterpillars on both street trees and on private prop- erty.
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 de- partment in 1947.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN JARVIS, Moth Superintendent.

Report of the Sewer Department
To the Citizens of the Town of Fairhaven:
The contract for the Spring Street Sewer has been let to be constructed from Green Street to the station at the foot of William Street, but owing to breakage of pipe in transportation and thé fact that replacement has not been forthcoming, we were obliged to hold up the work until Spring.
We have been very fortunate not to have had any major repairs on any of our eight large pumps at the stations. We cannot really expect to get through this com- ing year without some repairs being necessary. We feel obliged to ask for much more money this year than ever before.
As our report of 1945 showed we need a small air compressor and tools and a new truck. That expense, plus a great deal of new building the coming year, calls for a larger appropriation. Connection costs and tax refunds amounting to more than $1616. have been turned back to the town treasury.
During the year, twenty-eight new connections have been put in and two repair jobs completed. It is our recom- mendation that in 1947 the town build a 21 inch sewer in Rotch Street, from Washington Street to the pumping station at Center Street.

Report of Town Forest Committee
Fairhaven, Mass. Jan. 26, 1947.
Board of Selectmen
Fairhaven, Mass.
Gentlemen:
The Annual Report of the Town Forest Committee is submitted herewith :
The Town Forest Committee found that fifty per cent of the 1945 plantings of pine survived. Loss was primarily due to lack of water at planting time and the seedlings furnished were too large.
For those who are not familiar with the work of the Committee, the following is a brief outline :
The Town Forest was started in 1942 for the sole benefit of the residents, to perpetuate a movement to create, for future generations, revenue from its trees and outdoor recreational possibilities for its children.
The Forest Committee has procured free, 45 acres; and have planted in 3 acres, 4000 seedlings of pine and spruce.
There are many more acres of land within the bounds of this Township that are worthless except for cordwood, and could be utilized as a Town Forest. The taxes from many acres in Turkey Grove area are negligible, and if possessed and planted with pine and spruce, would, in 20 to 25 years, yield enough timber to exceed by tenfold, that which the town realizes in tax revenue.
Let us be ever mindful of our obligations to our children, and give them a living memorial of a Forest Park, that they will enjoy nature and be better qualified as good citizens, an intelligent and progressive idea coupled with a will to do that which may benefit others.
We need more land for our Town Forest!
Respectfully submitted,
WALLACE B. BAYLIES VICTOR O. B. SLATER KENNETH R. VINING
