Compelled by the State Board of Health, and fears of the water consumers of danger of contamina- tion of the town's water system, your Commissioners have purchased some seven different tracts of land lying contiguous to and at the source of Running Gutter Brook, an area of 41.16 acres, at a total ex- pense of $2,979.30. A map showing exact locations can be seen on file in the Town Clerk's office.
While, no doubt, this property could have been purchased for a less figure previous to the farming
33
activity in this region, (considering the cupidity of human nature) your Commissioners feel they have done fairly well.
JOHN W. KILEY, MICHAEL J. PROULX, Water Commissioners.
I have this day examined the books and accounts of the Treasurer of the Water Commissioners of the Town of Hatfield and find them correct, with vouch- ers on file for all payments made, and a balance in the Treasury of $2,948.05.

Miss Ellen A. Waite, whose term as librarian ex- pired Dec. 31, 1918, has been re-elected. Her report: covering in detail the work of the library during the past year, is herewith submitted.

Report of Librarian
To the Trustees of the Hatfield Public Library:
During the year 1918, 255 books have been pur- chased for the Library, 117 for adults and 138 for the juvenile department.
The circulation in the juvenile department has been 3331; for the adults 3077, making a total circula- tion of 6,408 as compared with 6,411 last year. The slight decrease being due to the closing of the library during the greater part of February on account of & scarcity of coal, and during the whole of October on account of the epidemic of influenza. The circulation for December was 813.
The twenty-five books in the Polish language loaned by the Massachusetts Library Association in 1917 were returned and replaced by twenty-six new ones.
A case of books and charts on Birds for the use of the children of the public schools has been loaned to the library by the Massachusetts Audubon Society and can be kept until July.
Last spring over two hundred books contributed by the people of Hatfield were sent through the library to the soldiers' camps.
Through the kindness of Miss Laura Belden of Bradstreet, Miss Carrie Cutter of West Hatfield and
43
Mr. G. H. Danforth of North Hatfield books from the library have been circulated in those districts.
The library is open on Tuesdays from 3 to 5 P. M. and Saturdays from 3 to 5 P. M. and from 7 to 9 P. M.
Mrs. Ula Dehey assists Saturday evenings. ELLEN A. WAITE, Librarian.

Report of School Committee
The committee have given special attention to the several matters pertaining to the schools during the past year. The influenza epidemic made it neces- sary to close the schools for several weeks which hindered the work of the school but they are now on a working basis again and it is with the hope of con- tinuing with no more interruptions.
The school at Bradstreet consisted of a single school in which the teacher had an assistant but this year it was changed to separate schools consisting of a primary and a grammar department which arrange- ment proves much more satisfactory.
The resignation of the superintendent of schools made it necessary to select another superintendent.
The meeting of the Joint District Committee was held for this purpose and the present superintendent was selected for this work.
It is the desire of the committee that some action be taken at town meeting where by the committee can be relieved of further responsibility in the care of the old school building on School Street. It is not need- ed for school purposes.
The committee realize the condition of the build- ing at West Hatfield and that their report applies to day as well as a year ago.
