Report of Water Commissioners
To the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Hatfield,
Greetings :
Your Water Commissioners herewith submit their report for the year 1943.
In spite of the high cost of labor and a small appro- priation, we have been able to keep your water system in good condition, the reservoir clean and the surroundings in good presentable order. A pair of gates have been set up at the entrance and we hope to make further improve- ments in the near future.
Collection of water rates has been very satisfactory during the year and we hope that this condition will pre- vail in the future.
Your water system is approximately fifty years old and before long large sums of money will have to be ex- pended both for the renewal of the water system and the acquisition of more land surrounding the reservoir.
As of September 20, 1943, the Department of Public Health withdrew its approval of Running Gutter Brook as a source of public water supply. This is the first step toward condemning the entire system, if it is decided not to chlorinate.
Respectfully submitted,
S. M. BOURDON, Chairman, RUPERT HARUBIN, RAYMOND E. BALISE, Water Commissioners.

Library Report
The library report for the year ending December 31, 1943, shows a circulation of 22,786 books and periodicals. This is a slight decrease over the preceding year, due to the number of our borrowers in the armed forces.
The circulation was :
Juvenile fiction
6,002
Juvenile non-fiction
2,306
Adult fiction
10,421
Adult non-fiction
2,450
Book Mobile
1,507
A total of
22,786
The total number of borrowers including men, women and children is 746.
The North Hatfield and West Hatfield people living along the state road continue to enjoy the service of the Book Mobile of Greenfield, Mass. We were in hopes this service would be made available to the people in all the outlying districts this year, but due to the tire and gas rationing, the Book Mobile has been restricted.
Reading certificates have been awarded to sixty-four children, fifty of whom have continued their reading and secured Honor Reading certificates for reading twenty books on the approved reading lists, sent out by the Di- vision of Public Libraries of the State Department of Edu- cation.
37
The library continues to supply the best in non-fiction, Polish and Slavish books, and will be very glad to supply any non-fiction not found on our shelves. We have added 460 books during the year, 180 were for children and 280 for adults, with 31 periodicals in circulation.
The library is open Monday and Friday from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. for adults only ; Wednesday from 12:00 noon to 1:00 p.m. and from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. for adults and children.
I wish to express appreciation of the faithful work of my assistant, Miss Margaret Hayes, the Trustees for their hearty co-operation, and for the many repairs made on the interior of the library, especially the vast improvement made in the lighting system, by the installation of the fluorescent lights.
Respectfully submitted,
THERESA M. GODIN,
Librarian.

Civilian Defense Report
To the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Hatfield :
During the year 1943, there has been a general re- laxation in all phases of Civilian Defense work due to the wave of optimism that has been general all over the state.
Hatfield has a well trained organization. The few tests we have had during the year every man and woman was right on the job without any preliminary warning. I am sure that in case of any emergency, they will not fail to respond.
Two short wave radio sets have been purchased, one for the report center and one portable type. Six men have been trained as operators and have received Federal li- censes. They have practice sessions every Wednesday and Sunday evenings. If our communication system is ever disrupted by any kind of disaster, we will be able to com- municate with the surrounding towns from any part of Hatfield.
I wish to thank all the personnel and town officials for their continued co-operation.
Respectfully submitted, ROBERT BIEBER, Jr.,
Chairman, Hatfield Committee on Public Safety.
