Several meetings with various State board have been held on the question of rebuilding the West Island cause- way, also badly damaged, the last meeting being with Gov- ernor Christian A. Herter and his staff on the spot.
Coggeshall Street Bridge is now being repaired by con- tractors under the supervision of the State Department of Public Works with funds from the State.
Claims for damage to town-owned buildings were sub- mitted to the companies carrying extended coverage and the sum of $5,699.71 was received.
Civil Service
Classification of positions held by town employees was made by the Division of Civil Service and qualifying ex- aminations were taken in November. Civil service rating is now held by all town employees except those in positions exempt under the law. Applications for the labor service are taken by the labor registration clerk in the Selectmen's office and appointment of laborers to various town depart- ments will be made from the list established by the Di- vision of Civil Service.
West Island Beach
The beautiful and extensive beach, located on the southern point of West Island, was well patronized in the
25
first summer of town-ownership. By actual count on one hot Sunday 700 persons enjoyed the excellent bathing and sandy beach. Patronage is intended for Fairhaven people only.
Funds authorized by the town meeting were used by the Recreation Committee in filling in land for a parking area and ten bathhouses were built. Unfortunately the hurricane destroyed the bathhouses, but this Board has pe- titioned the town meeting in the warrant to replace them and to extend the parking area.
In closing we would like to express our appreciation to the various town departments for their cooperation through- out the year.
