Report of Water Commissioners
To the Citizens of Hatfield :
Your Water Board wishes to make the following re- port.
In the past year there has been more work per- formed on your water system than any other year.
There has been 45 services renewed throughout the town and 11 new services installed. The collection of water rates has also been very successful,' being the largest in the history of the town.
Your Board wishes to inform the water consumers that it will continue to renew house services by applica- tion only as in the past year.
TED KABAT, Chairman & Clerk S. M. BOURDON. R. BALISE.

Cemetery Report
We wish to thank all who have financially helped with the care of cemetery lots. With the low interest rate on funds for perpetual care of lots, some of the funds should be increased, in order that the Town be reimbursed for annual care. We recommend the purchase of one ad- ditional power lawn mower.
We deeply regret the loss of one of our members, George S. Belden, who has so faithfully given his time for years to help keep our cemeteries looking nice.
MRS. MARY B. D. CUTTER, HENRY W. WOLFRAM, Chairman Cemetery Committee.

Report of Inspector of Animals and Slaughter
-
Honorable Board of Selertmen :
A large increase in slaughtering was experienced during the year 1947. Nine carloads of cattle were ship- ped in from the Chicago Stock Yards, the largest carload holding 25 head and the smallest 21. Five truck loads of dairy cows were checked in from out of state shipments. Two dog shipments from out of state were also checked.
Within the five year period 1943-1947, slaughtering has increased tremendously. In 1943 the total inspec- tion list showed as follows : 2 cattle, 3 calves, 25 hogs and 75 sheep. In 1947 the total stands as follows : 411 cattle 54 calves, 33 hogs, 81 sheep and 2 goats.
Rules as regards inspection of meats for curing or cold storage are state-wide and enforced. Many sell meats they do not need from cold storage plants, there- fore the necessity of inspection for the protection of the owner and the warehouseman.
Respectfully submitted, MICHAEL M. MAJESKY,
Inspector of Animals.
