Selectmen's Report
To the Citizens of the Town of Hatfield :
We, the Board of Selectmen of the Town of Hatfield, respectfully submit the following annual report:
The completion of the first phase of construction of United States Highway 91 through the borders of our town had a noticeable impact upon town activities. It necessitated the closing of the Bridge Street entrance to the town causing considerable inconvenience to residents and the relocation of the water line at North Hatfield from Mountain Road to Pantry Road. However, it is antici- pated that the construction of this new super highway will have an advantageous impact upon the citizens of Hatfield. Already, this impact has been felt in the num- ber of new homes built in Hatfield during this year, the plans to build the new Department of Public Works Build- ing on the Northampton-Hatfield town line, and the in- creased revenue to the town in the sale of fill from town property located on Elm Street for use in constructing said highway and for the use of a right of way for carry- ing fill across said town property for this highway. In the future, because of this highway, the Selectmen look to continued building of new residences in our town, the attraction of new industry, the attraction of new recrea- tional facilities to our town, and many new municipal im- provements.
With the aid of funds provided by G.L. (Ter. Ed.) Ch. 90, construction continued to progress along North Main Street to Bradstreet, resulting in an additional 1800 feet of said road being widened and blacktopped.
The sidewalk on the westerly side of Main Street ex- tending from Smith Academy southerly to the Donnis residence was repaved and improved.
21
Considerable work was done to the Town Hall dur- ing this year. The annual repairs to the town hall roof were made. The Community Rooms were completely re- decorated and two new oil burners were installed in the town hall.
All litigation pending against the town was settled in favor of the town during the year.
We wish to note that the Planning Board has spent many hours preparing a workable zoning by-law and map for the town and soon will present it to you for voting. We urge each citizen of this town to give the board his full-hearted support and co-operation when called upon to vote for this by-law.
Two special town meetings were held during the course of the year. The one held on April 18, 1961, was for the purpose of granting permission to relocate the water line on Pantry Road and to sell fill from town prop- erty for use in constructing said Route 91, both of which have been noted above. The other, held on Dec. 29, 1961, was for the purpose of granting permission to purchase for the Highway Department a four-wheel-drive truck with snow plow equipment and a sand spreader.
The Selectmen cannot conclude this report without expressing their sincere thanks and appreciation to all departments of the town and to all town officials for their whole-hearted co-operation and assistance to the Select- men during the course of the year as well as for the fine work done by all departments and officials in behalf of the government of the Town of Hatfield.
Respectfully submitted, JOSEPH V. PORADA STANLEY J. FILIPEK MICHAEL A. YANGINSKI
