Report of Water Commissioners
To the Citizens of Hatfield,
The year just passed, has been satisfactorily comp- leted in the eyes of your Water Commissioners. Several new services were installed and many old one renewed.
The Board has checked the water content at the re- servoir on several occasions during the dry period and found the supply unlimited.
We have received several complaints on the water rates from cafes and tobacco warehouses, and it is the de- cision of the Board that anyone aggrieved by the present rates may install a meter at his expense upon notifying the Board.
Two tracts of land which border on the brook lead- ing into the reservoir should be purchased by the town immediately, or taken by eminent domain in case the owners refuse to sell.
The water shed should be cleared without further de- lay of debris and hardwood brush to permit the growth of young evergreens.
Respectfully Submitted,
THADDEUS KABAT, Chairman, SIMEON M. BOURDON, HENRY F. KULESZA,
Board of Water Commissioners.

Cemetery Report
To the citizens of Hatfield :
We would like to commend those who have per- formed the work in maintaining our well kept cemeter- ies. And again we would like to urge that adequate funds for perpetual care of lots be established through the town treasurer.

Report of Inspector of Animals and Slaughter
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Slaughtering for the year of 1948 has decreased. The amount as follows: Cattle 337, Calves 42, Hogs 49, Sheep 29, compared with Cattle 411, Calves 54, Hogs 33, Sheep 81, Goats 2 in 1947.
T. B. tests for 1948 have proven highly successful. Not one head of cattle in Hatfield reacted.
Dr. Pulanski, who tested all cattle, attributed this fine record to all farmers of Hatfield for feeding the cattle as well as clean stables.
Any farmer buying a head of cattle can be warned that a tag on a cow's ear does not mean a perfect animal. This only covers a Tuberculin Test. A cow must have a blood test before you can be safe against bangs disease. This is done by any authorized veterinarian who sends a blood sample to Boston for a diagnosis.
Respectfully submitted, MICHAEL M. MAJESKEY,
Inspector of Animals.

Library Report
January 13, 1949
To the Trustees of the Public Library :
Herewith is my annual report as Librarian of the Public Library :
January 1, 1948, the library contained 8,985 volumes. During the year, 550 new books were accessioned and ca- talogued. Of these 228 were for children and 322 for adults. There were 38 periodicals in circulation.
The circulation of books and periodicals for the year was:
Juvenile Fiction
8,211
Juvenile non-Fiction
2,897
Adult Fiction
8,529
Adult non-Fiction
3,972
Book Mobile
336
23,945
Total number of borrowers, including, men, women and children, is eight hundred and twenty-one (821).
Every three months we borrow from the Division of Public Libraries, Boston, Mass., a collection of non-fiction, Polish and Slovak books. We are always willing to bor- row non-fiction books not found on our shelves. I would appreciate it if the readers of the foreign language books would endeaver to increase the circulation.
45
Two hundred and twelve (212) Honor Reading certi- ficates have been awarded to the children of the Center School for reading five books on the approved reading list sent out by the Division of Public Libraries of the State Department of Education and to fifty-seven (57) for read- ing twenty on the approved list.
Again we urge that a reading room be added to our facilities. Everything possible must be done to keep the Hatfield Library at the peak of efficiency and service. The advantages would be numerous, including additional space for future expansion, complete separation for re- ference and text books, where there would not be the usual · distractions to disturb the reference worker who needs quiet. Most important of all, it would be invaluable for our school pupils who very much need a study and re- ference room which would complement their formal edu- cation in the school.
The library is open Monday and Friday from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. for adults and Wednesday from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. for pupils of the outlying districts who attend school in the center. Also from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday for adults and children.
My sincerest thanks and appreciation go to Mrs. Mar- garet Cantwell, my assistant, and to the Trustees for their willing cooperation.
Respectfully Submitted,
THERESA M. GODIN,
Librarian.
46
Report of the Fire Department
To The Selectmen of Hatfield :
During 1948 we have overhauled the pumps on both the larger truck and the smaller one. New tires had to be bought for the larger truck as well as some small but vital equipment.
We purchased 800 feet of new hose during the year as well as necessary personal equipment for our firemen.
Some new members were added to our force and were given an opportunity to drill when the overhauled pumps were tested.
Fires at the Hatfield Public Dump could be prevented by using a little more care in the dry season.
The department thanks all for the splendid coopera- tion at all times and especially while the pumps were being overhauled.
Respectfully submitted,
MICHAEL J. YARROWS,
Fire Chief.

Tree Warden's Report
To the citizens of Hatfield :
The Tree Department wishes to make the following report. In the past year considerable work has been done on our shade trees on all streets of our town. A number of large Elms on School and Main Streets were pruned, dead wood was removed from trees near schools, churches, and bus stops. Six elms were taken down, 3 due to road construction and 3 due to disease. Two elms that were in- fected with Dutch Elm disease were located on Elm Street and Linseed Road and were located 75 feet from the high- way, in wooded areas and were never sprayed.
As to our use of DDT last year on our town trees, I simply wish to say that the results were very satisfac- tory. To avoid minor accidents which some time occur when spraying, a mist blower was used instead of a hy- draulic rig. 'An oil solution which contained 0.35 of DDT to a gallon was used. Two applications were made, one in May and one in July. Elms on all streets were sprayed and where ever possible individual elms were sprayed also.
No injurious effects were reported from drift of any of the spray materials used. This in marked contrast to what often occurs when hydarulic spraying is done.
EDWARD ZALINSKI,
Tree Warden.

Hatfield Housing Authority
-
At a Special Town Meeting held on June 21, 1948, it was voted that the Town establish a Housing Authority in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 121, Gen- eral Laws, as amended. At a Special Selectmen's Meet- ing held on June 22, 1948, it was voted to appoint Clifford L. Belden, Michael M. Majesky, Leon Gutfinski and Frank T. Woodward to the Hatfield Housing Authority. On July 2, 1948 Albert S. Bigelow, Chairman for the State Housing Board appointed Joseph V. Porada for a term of 3 years.
Immediately after the Board was formed, Town Clerk Peter Rogaleski called Boston and the Town's quota of $105,000.00 was earmarked. Applications for housing were mailed to all the Town's Veterans and applications for dwelling units were filed in Boston. Two women from the State Board canvassed the Town making a survey for the need for housing based on the applications re- ceived by the Hatfield Board. Unfortunately, the vet- erans had not sent back many applications and therefore the survey did not accomplish the results hoped for.
The Authority has secured the services of Frank A. Mahoney, Registered Architect. His help was needed in preparing the papers for the State Board and site plan- ning.
Much progress has been made by the Authority in the short time it has been in existence. But the whole program hinges on the applications the Veterans must
49
fill out and submit. So it is up to the Veterans of the Town to get the applications in. They alone will make the project a success or a failure.
