The Board of Sewer and Water Commissioners organized with Lawrence B. Maxfield, Chairman, Dudley S. Richards, Vice-Chairman, and Charles A. Maxfield Jr., Clerk.
During the year twenty-three new water services, and twenty-seven sewer connections were installed, making a total of fifty for the year. There are now approximately 2259 sewer connections in use and to date 963 water services have been installed on Sconticut Neck.
As voted at the Annual Town Meeting in 1961, an eight inch sewer main was laid in Long Road, approximately 350 feet, contract awarded to Joseph Arruda, of Tiverton, Rhode Island.
At the expense of the property owner the six inch water main in Holiday Street was extended approximately 400 feet.
Due to the collapse of the fifteen inch sewer main in Sycamore Street, approximately 229 feet had to be replaced, emergency work done by Gracia Bros., Contractors.
We are pleased to report that due to the work done by this department during the year, we were able to return to the Town the amount of $25,522.29. LAWRENCE B. MAXFIELD DUDLEY S. RICHARDS

BOARD OF HEALTH
This Board has held regular meetings during the year, and has been active in the investigation of complaints and the abating of nuisances affecting the public health in the fields of communicable diseases, sewerage disposal and the illegal dumping of debris, on private as well as public property.
Our preventative program has included the following:
3 diphtheria clinics 665 children were inoculated
3 polio clinics 673 children were inoculated
vaccination clinics
22 children were inoculated
Two new cases of pulmonary tuberculosis have been reported. A total of 45 visits have been made, and 14 of their contacts have been X-rayed. Three patients were hospitalized at Bristol County Tuberculosis Hospital.
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health instituted a program for the care of premature infants, which has been followed by this Board of Health. There were 19 premature infants born to residents of Fairhaven during the year.
The School Dental Clinics have been held twice a week during the school year. The charges are low and free services have been given to those who cannot pay. A summary of the dental work done is:
Fillings 391 Cleanings 23
Extractions 156 Examinations 326
The Bristol County Mental Health Clinics in New Bedford provides facilities for psychiatric diagnosis, treatment and consultation, to residents of Fairhaven. 33 patients were examined and a total of 160 visits were made to this Clinic. Money from the Board of Health appropriation helps to support this Clinic.
The following licenses were issued during the year:
Burial Permits 111 Oleomargarine 28
Methyl Alcohol 15 Milk Dealers 14

37
The following inspectors have performed their duties effectively : Samuel C. Barrett, Animal and Milk Inspector. Raymond Bourdon, Collector of Garbage. George J. Martin, Burial of Animals. Lawrence B. Maxfield, Sanitary Inspector Henry Stevens, Slaughter Inspector.
The new developments and improved present day regulations that have been established are changing our program to such an extent that Board of Health measures which sufficed a few years ago, are inadequate to-day. These new health measures demand much more time and effort in their organ- ization and execution than previously. The members of this Board are working diligently for improved methods of disposing of rubbish and garbage.

PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING SERVICE
It is only as the objectives of Public Health Nursing are thoroughly under- stood in the community that true progress can be made. These objectives pertain to the care of the sick, prevention of disease and good health teaching.
The appropriation from the Town for Health Nursing Services made it possible to make the following visits during the year 1961. Child Welfare 1,364 visits
Tuberculosis 45 visits
Acute Communicable Diseases 57 visits
1,466 visits
The Town paid for the following nursing visits to patients receiving: General Relief 19 visits
Old Age Assistance Recipients 253 visits
Veterans Benefits 66 visits
338 visits
Assistance was given at the following clinics held under the supervision of the Board of Health. There were three Diphtheria Clinics, three Polio Clinics and two Vaccination Clinics held during the year.

Two new cases of Tuberculosis were admitted during the year. Both patients were taken care of at home. All their contacts have been X-rayed. Several arrested cases had X-ray examinations during the year. Some of these examinations were made at the Bristol County Sanatoria, others at the New Bedford Tuberculosis Clinic and others by private physicians.
The Board of Health Executive Officer has been very helpful in report- ing some of the new laws of the Commonwealth as they pertain to Public Health Nursing.

SHELLFISH DEPARTMENT
The year 1961 has been the most prosperous one, both in Harvesting and Planting of Shellfish, since my appointment five years ago. Clams and quahogs have been in abundance to families and commercial fishermen.
There were 1,369 bushels of quahogs taken from contaminated areas of mixed sizes at the cost of $4,794.61 transplanted to clean areas on the east side of Sconticut Neck in the vicinity of West Island and Nasketucket River. This is the largest transplanting project ever undertaken by the Town. Also 27 bushels of seed scallops at the cost of $27.00 were transplanted north of Causeway Road between Long Island and West Island. This area is set aside for the taking of scallops by dip net method only. There were 371 bushels of scallops taken from this area netting $2,968.00.
Clam areas are growing very rapidly throughout the Town due mostly to the rotating of opening and closing of areas; also no dry digging allowed during the winter months of January, February and March. Next year should be another good year for shellfishing as areas are well stocked at present.
Due to the amount of work involved in planting and patrolling areas there is no way to accurately account for the number of bushels taken for family use. The average of two bushels per permit for family use would net $30,560.00, and commercially $40,000.00 to $50,000.00 annually.
There were 1,609 Licenses and Permits issued bringing in a total of $2,531.00 in revenue to the Town.

The survey of Alden Road from Route 6 to the Acushnet line has been completed by the State this year. This road will be widened and rebuilt in anticipation of added traffic when Route 195E is completed to a location near Coggeshall Street bridge.
RUBBISH COLLECTION
This department continues to be a major problem with the Addition of new homes and extended service. The purchase of a new collection unit of the latest type has enabled us to complete the year without a deficit that seemed probable early in the year.
HENRY T. HOWARD Superintendent of Highways
REPORT OF CIVIL DEFENSE
The Civil Defense of the Town of Fairhaven has been keeping up to the rapidly expanding program of the Federal and State Offices of OCDM. The rapid increase in world tensions made everyone realize the full dangers of a possible nuclear war. The President of our country has set the shelter program as a means of survival to the greatest number of our population. This is the first time in many years that the Federal Government made public the fact that survival in times of conflict begins at the local levels. The changing of the shelter program from Civil Defense to the Secretary of Defense shows the urgency of this protection.
The town's Civil Defense office is working directly with the architects and engineers appointed by the U. S. Corps of Engineers to survey, mark and equip the available buildings in the town that are found suitable to meet the minimum requirements from fallout radiation. This should be completed before July, 1962. It is very apparent however, that the number of public buildings as well as private structures will be very short of the capability of sheltering the inhabitants and the visitors of our town if an emergency should arise. This is the reason we advise private shelters where they can be constructed.
The season of 1961 has been about normal. We had one hurricane named "Esther" that proved to be a source of great preparation and worry. All equipment at our disposal was in readiness and placed at the various centers of operations. This storm approached to less than one hundred miles of us and then broke up. No one was sorry, it was close enough.
The Fairhaven Civil Defense is still very short of volunteers. The support of the people of the town is very vital and we ask for your cooperation in building up your Civil Defense to the point of being a well working force to help our community in its times of emergencies.
ARMAND A. GUILMETTE
Director of Civil Defense

FIRE DEPARTMENT
The Fire Department answered 258 calls during the year 1961. There were 42 Bell alarms and 216 Still Alarms. There were 5 Emergency calls for the Resuscitator.
The new piece to replace Engine #5 in East Fairhaven was put in service February 17, 1961. This piece has a 600 gallon Barton front mounted pump, also a tank that has a capacity of 800 gallons. This type of apparatus will serve the area where there is no water supply, especially the East Fairhaven section. The Fire Prevention Bureau of the Fire Department did considerable work on inspections, especially oil burners, and L.P. Gas installations. All apparatus except Engine #4 are in good condition. Engine #4 which was purchased in 1932 will have to be replaced in the very near future. Some work was done on the roof of Station #3 in North Fairhaven, the rest of the work will be finished this year.

FIRE ALARM
for
The Superintendent of the Fire Alarm herewith submits his report 1961.
During the past year Three (3) new Gamewell boxes of the three fold type were added to the Fire Alarm system.
Box 341 Atlantic Lanes
Box 421
Farmfield and Cedar Streets
Box 721
Jarvis Avenue and North Walnut Street
Three new tanks, and a new compressor were installed at headquarters which operates the Air whistle. This was necessitated by a report from the State Inspector. The old equipment gave the Town thirty-one (31) years of service.
Considerable work had to be done on changing over for the Telephone, and Electric Light Company.
FRANK ROGERS
Superintendent of Fire Alarm
CARE OF TREES AND MOTH CONTROL TREE DEPARTMENT
To safeguard our shade trees in various parts of the Town all streets throughout the Town have been sprayed as well as a large number on private property. Also, a second spraying and a third spraying in sonie sections has been given to keep under control the later breeding of beetles.
During the year we have taken down seventy-two (72) trees, cut down fifty-two (52) tree stumps (so that the stump chipper could cut them down below street level), trimmed trees, removed dead limbs and elevated the trees. I have planted one hundred and five (105) trees in various parts of the Town.
Due to the changes made by the Department of Forests and Parks, I recommend an appropriation of Six Thousand Dollars ($6,000.00) for the care of trees in 1962.
I am recommending a special appropriation of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) for planting and purchasing trees in 1962.
JOHN JARVIS Tree Warden
41
MOTH DEPARTMENT
During the past year we sprayed all shade trees and removed dead limbs in various parts of the Town and carted and burned brush at the town dump. I find that our trees, as a whole, are in a healthy condition.
I recommend an appropriation of Two Thousand, Three Hundred Dollars ($2,300.00) for Insect Pest Extermination in 1962.
JOHN JARVIS
Superintendent of Moths
THE PLANNING BOARD
The Fairhaven Planning Board held 12 regular and 11 special meetings during 1961. The board also held student government meeting in cooperation with the School Department.
In addition board members attended the following:
a) 1 autumn meeting Mass. Federations Planning Boards, Dedham.
b) 1 Mass. Dept. of Commerce meeting, Middleboro.
c) 4 Mass. Dept. of Commerce Seminars, Middleboro.
d) 1 Plymouth Workshop at invitation of Cong. Hastings Keith.
e) 1 meeting with Rodolphe G. Bessette (Director of Div. of Waterways), Selectmen and Rep. William Q. Maclean.
During 1961 the Planning Board held 6 sign hearings, 1 sub-division hearing and 1 rezoning hearing, as well as many other meetings on town business.
The board conducted and attended studies and conferences relative to trailers, saline water, waterfront development, fire station relocation, traffic lights, school building property, beach property, proposed Hurricane dike, Ft. Phoenix, Coggeshall and Fairhaven bridges, town dump, and Town Manager form of government (in conjunction with which Edwin O. Wilson, town manager of Middleboro spoke to board).
It is well to note in a recent legal action a Superior Court judge upheld the Fairhaven Zoning By-Laws regarding the removal of soil, gravel, etc. without a permit.
Also, a judge in the Superior Court ruled approval of the right of the Town of Fairhaven to sell Park property (tennis courts) which had recently been zoned for business.
In recent months the Board of Selectmen appointed the Planning Board Chairman to represent Fairhaven as a member of the "Greater New Bedford Economic Development Committee", also as the selectmen's "Economic Advisor".
In December the selectmen appointed him as chairman of the newly organized "Fairhaven Chamber of Commerce". This close cooperation of Selectmen and Planning Board speaks well for the future progress of Fair- haven.
1961 proved to be an exceedingly busy year filled with problems, chal- lenges and promises for a brighter future.
The board is continuing with its various studies and investigations in all areas heretofore mentioned.
In closing the Fairhaven Planning Board follows its customary procedure in urging all citizens to take an active interest in town affairs, and the various town departments and boards; again reminding citizens of its capacity as an advisory board elected by the voters and governed by statute of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts rather than as an administrative or enforc- ing body.

PARK DEPARTMENT
The Park Commissioners organized with Joseph G. Mello as Chairman, Weber Rego Torres, Jr. as Vice-Chairman and Secretary, and Lawrence B. Maxfield.
The last phase of a three-year plan for an All-Purpose Recreation Area at Livesey Park will become a reality this year. It was postponed in 1961 on the advice of our engineers.
The Anna B. Trowbridge Memorial Band Shell was refinished again this year. It has been damaged consistently by vandals. This Department recomniends that some time in the future a folding fence be installed to limit the vandalism.
