Report of Water Commissioners


-


To the Citizens of Hatfield:


The year just past has been very satisfactorily fin- ished. Many new services have been installed and many old ones renewed. Water rents have been paid to date and many overdue accounts have been collected.


In December, a delegation from North Hatfield met with the Finance Board, Water Board and the Selectmen begging if some means could be devised to supply them with more water, as they suffer a woeful lack of same, and that an engineer be engaged for a complete survey.


Your water board engaged the services of Tighe and Bond, Consulting Engineers of Holyoke. Mr. Tighe was city engineer for Holyoke for many years and laid out most of Holyoke's big reservoirs.


A public meeting was called for January 15 which was very well attended and at which Mr. Bond gave the result of his preliminary survey. Sound plans were set forth. The one which seemed to be favored most was the pressure system. Mr. Bond will attend the annual town meeting at which he will give a complete analysis of your present system, the result of his survey and a full explanation. He will also be willing to answer all ques- tions asked him.


Respectfully submitted, SIMEON M. BOURDON, Chm., RAYMOND E. BALISE, THADDEUS KABAT, Water Commissioners.


Library Report


To the Trustees of the Public Library :


I hereby submit my annual report as librarian of the Public Library.


The response of the people of Hatfield, to the request for books for the servicemen, was remarkable. It was an excellent demonstration of gratitude and generosity. All reports indicate that this donated literature has afforded the servicemen numerous hours of pleasurable relaxation. The donation of Hatfield was 2,076 books and 340 maga .- zines.


During the past year 425 new books and 31 periodicals have been catalogued and put into circulation. Of the books 246 were for adults and 179 juvenile.


The circulation of books and periodicals for the year was:


Juvenile Fiction


9,005


Juvenile Non-Fiction


1,851


Adult Fiction


8,709


Adult Non-Fiction


2,586


Book Mobile


1,137


A total of


23,288


The library, expanding and improving, has utilized all the available space. As a result two problems have pre- sented themselves which should be solved as soon as pos- sible, so that the people of Hatfield may continue to enjoy complete library facilities. Shelves and tables being full, there is no room for the new books which are purchased monthly.


41


Our students, both young and old, do not have a suitable place to do reference work. The library is a nec- essary and valuable supplement to the schools; thus li- brary service to the pupils must be continued. These problems can be solved to the best interests of all concerned by the addition of a reading room to the present library facilities. A reading room provides a quiet atmosphere for those who wish to do reference work and also has wall space for more shelves, thereby alleviating the present over-crowded condition of shelves and tables.


The library continues to supply the best in Non-fiction, Slovak and Polish books and will be glad to supply any Non- fiction not found on our shelves.


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 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. for adults and children.


I wish to express my sincere appreciation to Mrs. Margaret Catwell, my assistant, to the Trustees and Teach- ers for their hearty co-operation.


Respectfully submitted,


THERESA M. GODIN,


Librarian.
