We would again like to call your attention to the re- cent laws which now provide for Absentee Registration for those who are physically unable to register at Town Hall; and Absentee Voting in Town Elections as well as State and National Elections for those physically unable to vote in person; or for those who will be out of town on Election Day. The disability cases must be certified by a doctor, Hospital Superintendent, attending registered nurse, or Christian Sci- ence Practitioner on forms which can be obtained from the Town Clerk. We hope that all who could not otherwise enjoy their voting privilege will avail themselves of this service. To apply for an absentee ballot, the applicant must sign the request exactly as his name appears on the voting list.

Public Assistance
The total expenditures for public assistance in 1952 rose very slightly over the previous year. General Relief, Aid to Dependent Children, Dis- ability Assistance and Old Age Assistance costs totalled $333,817.02.
The cost in General Relief was sharply reduced by the transfer of cases to Disability Assistance. Average case-load for the year was 40, with very few employables receiving assistance during the year. If employment conditions continue to be good we do not anticipate an increase of cost in this category.
Old Age Assistance showed a decline in case- load, 43 applications being granted and 65 cases closed. Case-load averaged 298 with an average monthly grant of $72.43 including cash, all medical, hospital, burials and extra needs. Total expenditures were $255,474.95. The Federal Government's share was approximately 39.9%, the Commonwealth's 44.2%, leaving the Town's share 15.9%.
Changes in the law affecting budgets were in- creases in minimum grants to $75 for persons living outside a family group and $55 for persons living within a family group and the increase by $500 per annum in statutory exemptions for children. These changes affected grants upward, offsetting de- creases made possible by the larger Social Security payments.
Aid to Dependent Children was furnished to an average of 23 cases having 79 persons. The ex- penditures showed a continuance of the decline noted in the previous year, totalling $29,181.65. The Federal Government participated to the extent of 43.8%, the Commonwealth 33.3%.
A new category of relief, on which the town will receive 75% reimbursement, called "Disability Assistance" was administered in conformity with regulations of the State Department for a full year at a cost of $16,378.63. Persons aged 18 and over

whose eligibility by reason of disability is deter- mined by the Medical Review Team receive aid ac- cording to similar budgetary standards and the right of appeal as in Aid to Dependent Children and Old Age Assistance. There are 18 on the payroll at present with several applications to be processed.
The Town Infirmary was operated at high per capita cost in 1952, due to the small number of residents. The opinion of the Board of Public Welfare for some time has been that a survey should be made to determine what disposition should be made of this valuable property. Considering the expense for medical care to aged citizens receiving Old Age Assistance and the scarcity of nursing homes it would appear that operation of the Infir- mary for this purpose would be more beneficial to the community than under the present arrange- ment, particularly in view of the fact that Old Age Assistance and Disability Assistance absorbs prac- tically all persons who would, in times past, be residents of the Infirmary.

The Planning Board
The Planning Board, in addition to attending to its routine duties with regard to District Change Hearings, has given some attention and thought to the following mat- ters affecting the Town, and recommends further consider- ation of them by the Town Officials and the Town Meeting Members:
(1) The possible use of the soon to be abandoned New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad right-of-way from Sconticut Neck Road to a point near Wareham as a logical "Thru-Way" to relieve local Route 6 traffic.
Representative Brown was requested to take this idea to the proper State Authorities early last Spring.
(2) The proper economical and orderly handling of "Street Acceptances" to eliminate the wholesale burdening of the Town with the responsibility of undeveloped public ways. See Article 55 of the current Warrant as the first step along this line of action.
(3) Some plan to foster an increase of business and property for business use in the Town wherever such growth is logical and is desired in the neighborhood. This is an attempt to relieve residential real estate of some of the increasing burden of taxation which is now in the offing due to necessary schools, sewers, water extensions, etc.
The Planning Board may have originally been to blame for the "Pro-Residential" and "Anti-Business" Town think- ing so much an influence in past Zoning action, but you will recall that for some years now this Board has consistently called to attention the desirability of allowing use of prop- erty for "Business" whenever and wherever such use seemed to the Board not potentially detrimental to existing property values.
The Board will not, however, recommend favorably a change to "Spot Zone" Business into a strictly residential area, and feels it should warn that too much Business Area can become a real blight and an economic burden, a fact that the people on Sconticut Neck should consider care- fully in the light of the current trend of change on the Neck.
70
(4) Some means to encourage land use for "off street parking", even to the use of "police power" to better con- trol or totally eliminate street parking where it has become a real danger as it has in several locations.
The Board regrets that we have not found time to go through all of the Zoning plats with the Town Engineer to correct all errors. At the last Special Town Meeting the Zoning map of the Town was approved subject to the cor- rection of these larger scale plats which would definitely establish the limits of the districts shown in small scale on the Zoning map.
We hope to accomplish this in conference with the Town Engineer very shortly.

Fire Department
The Board of Fire Engineers herewith submits its An- nual Report for the year 1952.
Upon notification of its appointment, the Board met and organized as follows:
Chief Engineer, Frank Rogers.
Deputy Chief Engineer, Augustus Xavier.
1st Asst. Engineer and Clerk, Audell W. Monk.
2nd Asst. Engineer, Harold S. Macomber.
3rd Asst. Engineer, Lindsey Gifford.
The Department now consists of 8 permanent men, 46 regular call men and 13 substitute members. Regular monthly meetings are held by the Board of Fire Engineers and by each company in the Department and special meet- ings are held whenever it is considered necessary. At each monthly meeting of the companies, necessary instructions are given the men by Drillmaster Macomber. These meet- ings of instruction have proven to be of great benefit to the men and to the Department.
During the year of 1952 the Department responded to 28 bell alarms and 188 still alarms, a total of 216 calls, of which only 6 were false alarms. This is 8 calls more than during the year of 1951. Seven emergency calls were an- swered which required the use of the resuscitator.
On January 18, 1952, while responding to an alarm on Bonney St., Sconticut Neck, the motor in the Ladder Truck fell out which caused enough damage so that a new 75-foot aerial truck was purchased at the Annual Town Meeting and was delivered on December 8, 1952. The Department was fortunate in being able to acquire a replacement, while waiting for the new truck, from Deputy Chief Xavier, who had an old ladder truck at Fort Phoenix and who allowed the Department the use of same without any expense to the Town.
During the year, Engine No. 4, which is twenty years old, began to give us some trouble which ended in a com- plete engine overhaul at an expense that had not been an- ticipated. This piece of apparatus is now in good condition but we feel that it should be replaced as soon as possible.

In order that this may be accomplished we have recom- mended that a sum of money be appropriated each year for several years until a sum has been attained that will be sufficient to purchase a new truck.
A radio was purchased for the new Engine No. 1 that was delivered late in 1951. We are requesting that a radio be purchased for the new aerial ladder truck with money left over from the purchase of the truck.
All the other equipment is in good condition and is being properly maintained.
The buildings of the Department are in good condition. Station No. 5 in East Fairhaven was painted during the year and we expect to paint Station No. 3 in North Fair- haven this year. Nearly $700.00 was spent to recondition the Central Station, which the Town rents, to make it pos- sible to house the new aerial ladder truck. We have now approximately $50,000.00 worth of new apparatus, not counting the new fire alarm equipment, in a rented build- ing that is not fit for a fire station and we recommend that a new fire station be acquired as soon as possible.
Four hundred feet of new 21/2" hose was purchased during the year which will replace worn out hose.
The men of the Department are to be commended on their good work, their interest in the Department and their loyalty to duty. With the assistance of the members of the Fairhaven Protecting Society, we are confident that the Town of Fairhaven has an excellent Fire Department.

Box 732 Oxford School.
The last two boxes named are of the master control type which are connected in with the town fire alarm sys- tem. The two non-interfering boxes taken from these two positions were installed at the Anthony School and the Tripp School. All schools in town now have non-interfering boxes.
New wire was run on the four circuits of the fire alarm system. In 1953 I plan to replace old wire on the same circuits. Considerable work was done this year on change overs, where the New Bedford Gas Company and the Tel- ephone Company put in new poles.
I am asking for ten new boxes in 1953 to replace boxes which are between forty and fifty years old.
In closing I would like to commend the men who worked with me for their faithful service.

During the past year we have issued 101 burial per- mits, 2 pasteurization licenses, 23 alcohol licenses, 78 milk licenses, 23 oleomargarine licenses, 4 ice cream licenses, and 8 camp licenses. We also issued licenses to 7 day nurseries and 5 convalescent homes.
Four patients were maintained at Bristol County Tuberculosis Hospital during the past year, one at Lakeville State Sanatorium and one at Rutland State Sanitorium. Three new cases were discovered and 18 tuberculosis con- tacts were x-rayed. One hundred sixty-seven visits were made to tubercular patients.
In the Board of Health Clinic 270 children were im- munized against diphtheria and 78 were vaccinated against smallpox. The Community Nurse, under the supervision of the Board of Health, made a total of 30 visits to persons ill with communicable diseases.
Fairhaven is still participating in the Tuberculosis Clinic of New Bedford. The cost, per capita to us, was $.09 as against $.062 in 1951. This increase in rate was due, substantially, to a reduction in the amount of federal aid received by the City of New Bedford for this project and to increased costs at the Clinic. Free x-rays and sputum

tests are offered to communities supporting the Clinic. These services have aided immeasurably in preventing the spread of tuberculosis and we urge the people of Fairhaven to take advantage of them.
The program for the care of premature infants, adopted by the Fairhaven Board of Health in 1949, has worked out satisfactorily. The details of this program which are regulated by the Massachusetts State Board of Health have been outlined in previous annual reports. Copies of the regulations may be obtained at the Board of Health office in the Town Hall.
During 1952 we again joined our neighboring towns in helping to maintain the Bristol County Mental Health Clinic in New Bedford. This clinic provides facilities for psychiatric diagnosis, treatment, and consultation for both children and adults. These services are free of charge to Fairhaven residents and residents of other towns partici- pating. The number of visits made to the Clinic during the past year is as follows:
Children: Boys 12
Girls 5
Adults : Male 1
Total 18
Psychiatrist visits with patients 27
Psychiatrist visits with parents 27
Psychological examinations 11
Social worker interviews 13
Total visits 78
The Board of Health Dental Clinic is held at the Tripp School every Tuesday and Thursday. Dr. Edward J. Mee is the school dentist and he is assisted by the school nurse, Mrs. Richard A. Dennie and Mrs. Eleanor Gonsalves. Pupils from each school go once every five weeks. An average of 12 or 16 children are treated each morning. The charges are extremely low, ranging from twenty cents to thirty-five cents. However, all dental work is done free for those unable to pay.
Mrs. Dennie reports the following work done on children's teeth during the past year: 376 fillings, 169 ex- tractions, 101 cleanings, 123 examinations, and 60 treat- ments.

John M. Reilly, who has served as Agent for the Board of Health for several years, found it necessary to resign late in 1952. Mr. Reilly has been a valuable and con- scientious Agent and it was with regret that we accepted his resignation. Lawrence B. Maxfield has been appointed the new Agent of the Board.
The collection of garbage has been carried out most efficiently by Joseph Mello. Henry Stevens, slaughter inspector, and Samuel Barrett, who serves as both animal and milk inspector, have discharged their duties efficiently and commendably.
The Board wishes to express its appreciation to the community nurses and the police department for the help and co-operation given us during the past year.
Respectfully submitted, DR. C. E. P. THOMPSON CLARENCE TERRY DR. F. A. SILVEIRA, JR., Secretary
Slaughter Inspection
During the year there were twenty-three hogs, 10 beef cattle and 3 calves inspected. There were no confiscations made.
