Selectmen's Report
To the Inhabitants of the Town of Hatfield:
We respectfully submit our annual report for the year 1962.
One of the things we may be assured of is change, and that change can be either forward or backward. As we review 1962, we feel that Hatfield is going forward, perhaps not as rapidly as we would like; however, the pat- tern is clear.
The transition from an agricultural community to a bedroom community has been orderly and less painful than first imagined possible. With the coming of the Dept. of Public Works building at the Hatfield-Northamp- ton line, there is no doubt that Hatfield's economy will experience a lift. Route 91 when completed may further favor us with one or two small enterprises.
New construction under Chapter 90 on River Road in Bradstreet progressed around 1500 feet the past year. However, completion to the Whately line will take two more years. The State Dept. of Public Works is making ready plans to proceed with new construction on School and Chestnut Streets after Main Street is completed.
Again, as in the past several years, outlays for the Town Hall repairs and maintenance have been far above the ordinary due to the demands of the schools on this building and would have been higher except for the timely financial aid of the Western Mass. Electric Company in installing a new electrical service. Demands on this build- ing for the future are still mounting at a rate that will necessitate allocation of expenses to their proper depart- ments.
21
The coming of natural gas into the town proper is an asset to the town, bringing tax revenue and a recognized added service to the user.
One Special town meeting was held on July 17 at which the town accepted the Zoning By-Laws which were approved by the Attorney-General on August 20 and post- ed on August 23, thereby making them effective as of that date. With the Zoning By-Laws in effect, the Board acted as a Board of Appeals in several matters until a Board of Appeals was named. On September 25, Fred E. Snook, Edward Dickinson, and Chester Prucnal were named to the Board of Appeals with Thaddeus Kabat and Edward Kowalski as alternates. The Zoning By-Laws and the Zoning Map are in this Annual Town Report.
A new truck and a sandspreader were acquired for the Highway Department. The North Street sidewalk was constructed as per vote of the 1961 annual town meet- ing.
The Board, along with some town departments, par- ticipated in the 200th Anniversary of the Town of Ches- terfield. Hatfield will soon need to think and act to be prepared for its 300th anniversary in 1970.
Each year brings us nearer to the construction of sewage disposal facilities, and it may be well to be pre- pared financially to meet this inevitable task by allocating at this time and in the future sums that will soften the burden of long term financing.
We wish to express our thanks to all officers and de- partments for their co-operation in the conduct of the affairs of the town.
