Report of Water Commissioners
To the Citizens of Hatfield :
During the past few years the water system in the town of Hatfield has had many major improvements which were vitally needed. These improvements have solved the water problem in North Hatfield and increased the water pressure considerably throughout the town.
Shortly after our last Town Meeting the 10 inch line was put into operation, and a great increase in pressure was noted, especially in North Hatfield and Bradstreet. All services on Plain Road were renewed and hydrants and standpipes were added on the 10 inch line.
Approximately 1,400 feet of 8 inch pipe was laid on Elm Street, all services were also renewed in this section. This line is cross connected to the old 4 inch line, which makes a great improvement in that area. This 8 inch line should be carried on to Dwight Street sometime in the future. Hydrants should also be added in this sec- tion.
At one time during the dry spell this past summer the water in the reservoir was one foot below the top of the dam, which causes us to consider increasing the ca- pacity of the reservoir. This can be done by raising the height of the dam, which isn't any major project.
Last summer the Water Department in co-operation with the board of Selectmen and the Tree Department, sprayed the entire watershed by plane for the control of
43
gypsy moth. In a recent survey of the watershed we found that many trees were affected. In order to save these trees they must be sprayed again this year.
The Board of Water Commissioners believe that in the near future our system will be capable of handling all our needs for a long time to come.
HENRY F. KULESZA, RUPERT HARUBIN, MICHAEL A. YANGINSKI, Board of Water Commissioners

Library Report
To the Trustees of the Public Library :
I am pleased to submit my annual report as Librarian of the Public Library.
1953 was a very successful year with a circulation of twenty two thousand nine hundred and seventy eight.
During the year four hundred and eleven new books were accessioned and catalogued. Of these four hundred and eleven books, two hundred and eighty seven were for adults and one hundred and twenty four for children. There were forty five periodicals in circulation.
The first and second series of American heritage books were chosen to acquaint our children with true stories of our country-biography, history, adventure, true fiction, a group of books powerful in their ability to nourish qualities of character that fathers and mothers seek to cultivate. The child's understanding of people, past and present and of people as his neighbors, is en- larged through books like these, with the right concept of our country and what it stands for.
The circulation of books and periodicals for the year was:
Juvenile Fiction
8,287
Juvenile Non-Fiction
3,369
Adult Fiction
7,042
Adult Non-Fiction
3,976
Bookmobile
304
Total 22,978
45
Meetings attended during the year were: Spring Meeting, Western Massachusetts Library Club, May 9 Greenfield Public Library, Fall Meeting Western Mass- achusette Library Club, October 15 Forbes Library Nor- thampton, Massachusetts, Spring Meeting of Connecticut Valley Library Club, May 4 Shelburne Center Massachu- setts.
If anyone is seeking reference books, biographies or any non-fiction books not found on our shelves, I will gladly borrow on request.
It would be exciting to have a youth room. Certain- ly it would be easier to give young people a feeling of belonging. It may encourage reading to a greater de- gree. It could be a stimulating experiment and a way which any library may use to make its young people feel an integral part of the whole.
In cooperation with the Films and Visual Informa- tion, Division of the United Nations, the Mass. State Re- gional Library Center at 4 Fisk Ave., Greenfield is pleased to announce the beginning of a new plan. This plan calls for two films a month to be deposited at the State Region- al Library Center, so that they may be made available to any organized group in the area.
These films may be borrowed free of charge, by calling the Center, at 8463, or by coming in to reserve them in person.
The library is open Monday and Friday from 7:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. Wednesday 11:30 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
My sincere appreciation is extended to the trustees, teachers and my assistants for the cooperation given me.
THERESA M. GODIN,
Librarian.

Report of Tree Warden
To the Citizens of Hatfield :
During the past year there were five diseased Elms taken down and burned.
Six other Elms were taken down on Main Street, and two on River Road in Bradstreet, due to wind and storms. Some trimming was done on Main Street, Maple Street and Pantry Road.
All shade trees were sprayed twice with D.D.T.
There was also 800 acres sprayed by plane around Watershed and Plain Road.
The Western Mass. Electric Co., trimmed and cleared their power lines throughout the town, they also assisted our Town Tree Dept. in taking down three Maples on Val- ley Street, one Elm on Main Street, one Elm on Main Street Common, and one Maple on North Street.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANCIS GODIN,
Tree Warden.
