Report of Water Commissioners
To The Citizens of Hatfield:
The Board of Water Commissioners wish to commend Leonard Vollinger and Charles Eberlein Jr. for the won- derful job they have done the past year, in the absence of our regular Superintendent Charles Eberlein Sr. whom we also wish to thank for the information and advice he has given us.
An unusually large number of services have been renewed and many new services added. The Wendol- owski main off of Plain Rd., which has given a lot of trouble in the past few years, has been replaced with copper tubing. Sunset Ave., which has been a problem to the Water Dept. since its acceptance by the town, now has a permanent four inch main. Unfortunately we were unable to install a new main on Raymond Ave. due to a delay in receiving certain fittings. This line will be installed this summer.
Respectfully submitted,
HENRY F. KULESZA, Chairman. CHESTER S. PRUCNAL, RUPERT HARUBIN,
Board of Water Commissioners.

Library Report
To the Trustees of the Public Library:
I am happy to submit my annual report as Librarian of the Public Library.
1950 was a very successful year with a circulation of 24,221, one of our largest circulations. During the year, 561 new books were accessioned and catalogued. Fifty-three of these books were gifts to the library from some of our patrons. Of these 561 books, 336 were for adults and 225 for children. There were 41 periodicals in circulation.
The circulation of books and periodicals for the year was:
Juvenile Fiction 8,397
Juvenile Non-fiction 3,184
Adult Fiction
8,047
Adult Non-fiction
4,108
Bookmobile 485
24,221
A large number of books are borrowed on Wednesday from 12:00 P.M. to 1:00 P.M. The library is opened dur- ing this hour in order to give the pupils from West Hat- field, who attend school in the center, an opportunity to borrow books.
We are very thankful for the cooperation of the teachers who borrow books from the library for the students. It would be appreciated if the readers of the
45
foreign language books would endeavor to increase the circulation.
Meetings attended during the year were: Western Massachusetts Library Club, Jones Library, Amherst, Massachusuetts, October 19; Connecticut Valley Library Club, Greenfield Public Library, Greenfield, Massachu- setts, October 26.
The historical room on the second floor of the library, containing relics of Old Hatfield, has been renovated. This room is opened to the public during library hours.
The library is opened Monday and Friday from 7:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M., Wednesday from 11:30 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
My sincerest thanks and appreciation go to Mrs. Margaret Cantwell, my assistant, and also to the teachers and the trustees for their willing cooperation.
Respectfully submitted,
THERESA M. GODIN,
Librarian.

Tree Warden's Report
To the Citizens of Hatfield :
In the past year there has been more work perform- ed on our shade trees than any other year. Western Mass Elect.ric Co. spent a considerable sum of money for line clearance and removing dead wood, saving our town money and at the same time giving us better ser- vice. There were 125 trees pruned, 7 taken down and 4 planted. To avoid any accidents which sometimes occur during windstorms, a very large limb was removed from one of the twin elms on Elm Street in front of the Hat- field Club.
Eleven new cases of Dutch Elm disease were found last year, only one being a shade tree, the others being wild elms. Because of the recent wind and ice storms it was impossible to remove the.m To protect our elms from Dutch Elm disease the remaining 10 elms must be taken down by March 15th.
All our shade trees on all streets were sprayed twice with D.D.T. I am sure this was never done before.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD ZALINSKI,
Tree Warden
