Report of Water Commissioners
-
To the Citizens of Hatfield:
The project of laying a 14" asbetstos cement water main is well under way.
Due to the small supply of pipe on hand and the slow delivery on cast iron fittings, the Water Commissioners instead of delaying the project any longer and after much deliberation, decided, with the approval of the engineers, to start the project with local men and equipment. With over 10,000 ft. of pipe laid, including 300' of cast iron pipe, our cost is 91ยข per ft. for labor and machine hire. This includes the excavation of 116 cu. yds. of rock.
Our intentions were to reach the main highway and make our cross connections to our existing mains, but due to the unusually rainy season we fell short of our goal by a few hundred feet.
There has been a large amount of criticism about the condition of Linseed Road. We had tried to have this road graded and graveled but with the heavy clay soil and very rainy weather this was impossible without spending a large sum of money. We believe we can ac- complish this next spring with a much smaller sum. In general we believe the project up to this point has been very successful.

Board of Water Commissioners.

Library Report
"Reading is life's first adventure alone" and yet children are largely dependent upon their adult friends for the books they read.
If the children of today are to be prepared to meet the challenge of the world of tomorrow, it is not sufficient that the books they read be simply informative or merely entertaining, they must be inspirational. Through them, children must come to know and admire moral beauty, religious ideals, high standards, chivalrous conduct, and heroic example, children must receive motivation and stimulation that will mature in healthy attitudes towards God and Country. In selecting our books during the year, we have tried to select books that would fulfill these qualifications.
Four hundred and seventy-seven new books and forty-five periodicals have been catalogued and put into circulation. Of these books two hundred and one were for children and two hundred and seventy-six for adults. The circulation of books and periodicals for the year was as follows :
Juvenile Fiction
9,067
Juvenile Non-fiction
2,709
Adult Fiction
8,192
Adult Non-fiction
3,336
Book Mobile
426
23,730
42
The total number of registered borrowers, men, wo- men and children is eight hundred and seventy-nine.
We have the privilege of borrowing any non-fiction book not found on our shelves from the Division of Public Libraries, Boston, Massachusetts; this privilege we will gladly use on request.
Meetings attended during the year were: Western Massachusetts Library Club on May 3rd, at The Berkshire Museum Auditorium, Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Western Massachusetts Library Club and Connecticut Valley Li- brary Club on October 4th at Deerfield Academy, Deer- field, Massachusetts.
Mrs. Gertrude Breor and Miss Annie Foster were appointed to our library staff during the year as general assistants.
The library is open Monday and Friday 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 Mrs. Cantwell, Mrs. Breor, Miss Foster, the Trustees and Teachers for their cooperation during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
Theresa M. Godin, Librarian

Report of Tree Warden
To the Citizens of Hatfield :
In the past year Western Mass. Electric Co. spent $4,500.00 for line clearance. Heavy trimming was neces- sary to clear the power lines after the wind and ice storms of 1950. An elm and seven maples were taken down, the town paying part cost.
30 Norwood and Rock Maples were planted on Depot Road, Main, Elm and Prospect Streets. $350.00 was spent for a Mall chain saw. Ten elms infected with Dutch Elm disease were taken down and burned. Work was started on a large elm near the Smith Academy high school but was incompleted. New England Tel. Co., must remove its wires first before the elm can be taken down. All our shade trees on all streets were sprayed twice with D. D. T.
Respectfully submitted, EDWARD W, ZALINSKI,
Tree Warden.
