Report of Water Commissioners
To the Citizens of Hatfield :
With the completion of 1956, the Board of Water Commissioners are pleased to submit the following report of activities of the Department.
Through the cooperation of Western Massachusetts Electric Company, electric service has been extended to the chlorinator house to operate the new chlorinator which will chlorinate all the water that is used by the townspeople proportionately through the 14-inch line run- ning directly through the chlorinator house. With the in- stalled Dahl Tube the metering of the water is possible and the volume of water used will be recorded in the chlorinator house.
Because of favorable weather conditions the reser- voir supplied the town adequately during the past year, but with the continued amount of building in the town eventually the storage capacity will have to be enlarged. The State Dept. of Public Health has recommended that this be considered and the Board is presently studying this problem and will have plans for this improvement at a later time.
The renewing of old services has continued and sev- eral new and renewed services have been completed, in- cluding renewing the service to the Library and the Main Street Cemetery. The standpipe on Dwight Street was discontinued and a new larger pipe was installed at the common at the intersection of Dwight and Bridge Streets. In the future any request for new water service which
36
requires the extending of water mains will not be hon- ored by the Board unless sufficient notification is given the Board for its consideration and approval.
A number of defective hydrants, including those broken off by accident, have been repaired. Unreported damage to hydrants has been noted during the past. It is requested that hydrants damaged by auto accidents be reported to the Board or its Superintendent.
The installation of 800 feet of 2-inch temporary line from West Street up Linseed Road has been completed.
Respectfully submitted, MICHAEL YANGINSKI, RUPERT HARUBIN, ARTHUR SMITH,
Water Commissioners.

Library Report
To the Trustees of the Hatfield Public Library :
I am pleased to submit my annual report as Librari- an of the Public Library.
During the year 576 books were catalogued and added to our Library. Of these 576, 310 were for adults and 266 for children. There were 47 periodicals in circu- lation.
The Hatfield Public Library is one of the libraries re- ceiving books from the State Regional Library Center at 4 Fisk Avenue, Greenfield, Massachusetts. During the year we have borrowed 201 books, consisting of travel books, biographies and historical novels. These books were very popular among our borrowers.
Any organized group in the area may borrow films from the State Regional Center free of charge by calling the Center at PRescott 3-8463 or by coming in to reserve them personally.
I am very grateful to the teachers who borrow books from the library for use in their classrooms. This special service is available to all teachers, and I would like to have them avail themselves of it. Reference books, bi- ographies or any non-fiction books not found on our shelves will be borrowed from other sources upon request.
38
The circulation of books and periodicals for the year was as follows:
Juvenile Ficton 7,153
Juvenile Non-Fiction 4,119
Adult Fiction 6,026
Adult Non-Fiction
4,779
22,077
During the past year I have attended the following meetings in connection with Lbrary work: 3 Book Review Sessions at the Regional Center, Greenfield, Mass .; the Spring Meeting of the Connecticut Valley Library Club at the Greenfield Public Library, and the Fall Meeting at the Public Library in Orange, Mass.
The Library is open Monday and Friday evenings from 7:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. and Wednesdays from 11:30 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. for your convenience.
To the Trustees, Teachers and my able assistants, I wish to express my sincere appreciation for their excel- lent cooperation during the past year.
THERESA M. GODIN,
Librarian.

Report of Tree Warden
To the Citizens of Hatfield.
During the past year quite a bit of trimming had to be done, on Linseed Road clearance for power line to chlorinator house, in Bradstreet on River Road, Main Street and Elm Street.
Seven shade trees were taken down, classed as un- safe or due to storm damage, one maple in Bradstreet, two maples and one elm on Main Street, one maple on Valley Street, two elms on Elm Street.
Thirty-one elms were taken down and burned- Dutch Elm disease-one on School Street, two on Main Street, and the rest in Mill River area, Bridge, Prospect and Maple Streets.
All shade trees were sprayed twice.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANCIS GODIN.

Report of Fire Department
To the Selectmen of Hatfield:
During 1956 we had 29 calls; also one mutual aid call to Whately.
We now have a two-way radio in our Seagrave Truck with the base station at Mutual Aid Station headquarters in Greenfield. The Bradstreet truck had to have a new clutch, a new generator and a new magneto.
The firefighters bought a 750-gallon pumper and re- placed the motor with a new V8 240 H.P. Chrysler en- gine. This truck is newly painted, has 13 lengths of hard suction hose, a red light-siren combination and a bell. This truck was bought by the men to be used for parades and musters but the truck has turned out so good that the firefighters voted to put this truck into active service for the town.
Respectfully submitted,
ARTHUR E. SMITH,
Chief.
