Report of Tree Warden
To the Citizens of Hatfield :
During the past year more trimming and pruning had to be done due to high winds and breakage. This work was done in the most hazardous areas of Main St., North St., King St., Elm St., Maple St., School St., Chestnut St., Bradstreet, Depot Rd., and Pantry Rd.
Forty young Maple trees were planted and fertilized, as replacements and in new sites.
All roadside trees were sprayed with D.D.T.
Most of our mountain woodlands were sprayed by the Dept. of Natural Resources by plane, except where there were objections by the property owner.
Seventeen trees infected with Dutch Elm disease were taken down and burned.
Nineteen other trees were taken down as hazardous or wood decay.
Some assistance was given on three of these trees by the Utility Companies, where power lines were involved.
Tree Removals were as follows:
Main St., 11 Elms, 4 Maples, 1 Horse Chestnut South St., 1 Maple
44
Chestnut St., 1 Elm Linseed Rd., 3 Elms, 1 Maple Prospect St., 7 Elms, 1 Maple Elm St., 1 Elm, 1 Maple Cow Brook Rd., 2 Elms Maple St., 2 Elms

Hatfield Youth League
The two activities of the Hatfield Youth League, are, namely, baseball and basketball, nine months of the year.
When the call for registration and practice for base- ball in April was called, the usual large group of boys turned out. The varsity team was first selected and then the farm league was organized into four teams. These four teams played intramural game for two rounds or six weeks.
Hatfield's varsity team, as in previous seasons, was a member of the Frontier Youth League with teams from South Deerfield, Old Deerfield, Whately, Conway and Sun- derland. The local group was defending champions and again proved their might by winning their second consecu- tive championship and going through the second half un- defeated. This was the locals' fourth year in the competi- tion, two years as champions, one as runner-up and one in fourth place. All four seasons they have been under the coaching reins of James Mullins, Sr. The past summer, Kenneth Balise assisted. All players were again treated by a trip to a Springfield Giants game and the champions to a Boston Red Sox game.
When basketball registration was called, another large group turned out. These players were divided into two groups and eight teams, grades 3 through 5 and grades 6 through 8.
46
At the Small School tourney in Amherst last spring the league again participated between games with scrim- mages. They took part on two evenings with an All Star team from each grade group.
We wish to repeat again that in order for these two activities to be continued successfully, coaches and helpers will be needed.
We wish to express again our deep gratitude to all groups and individuals for their support in the past, and look forward to their continued support in the future.

We are very grateful to the Hatfield Book Club for their interest shown in the library. During the summer they sponsored a summer reading program for the chil- dren participating. At the completion of the program a social hour was held for the children. Mrs. Vollinger, a member of the staff, showed slides of her trip West and pins and certificates were awarded to those who read a re- quired number of books. The Book Club also sponsored an evening program during National Library Week. This program had as speaker Mrs. Rowe of Greenfield, who talked on Children's Books.
During the summer we had story hours every second week which were very well attended. Our story tellers were Mrs. Marian Rowe of Greenfield Regional Library Staff and Mrs. Hilda Fortsch and Mrs. Anne Tierney of the Hatfield Teaching Staff. I wish to thank them for making our library hours more interesting and enjoyable.
During the year I attended the Governor's Conference on Libraries at Amherst and several library meetings in Western Massachusetts.
Our Library is open the following hours as shown on the new sign, donated by the Hatfield Book Club :
Monday and Friday-11:30 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. and 6:45 P.M. to 9:00 P.M.
Wednesday-11:30 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
My sincere appreciation is extended to Mrs. Helen Osley, Mrs. Doris Vollinger, the Trustees and Teachers for their co-operation and assistance during the year.

Report of Water Commissioners
To the Citizens of Hatfield:
During the year of 1963 the Water Department took preliminary steps to alleviate the water shortage during the hot and dry spells during the summer months when more water is used than our reservoir can supply. A spe- cial town meeting was held and money transferred from Water Available Surplus for two projects. The first was for $11,000 for the exploration of an underground water supply and the second was for $1,500. for the exploration of another surface supply, the latter a long-range program which may be needed, and for which money may be avail- able from the Government for a project such as this.
Tighe & Bond, Consulting Engineers, were hired to take care of all engineering work and the hiring of equip- ment which will be necessary for the exploration of an un- derground water supply. A Seismic Survey was taken in several different locations throughout the town and a re-
port on these tests was forwarded to the Water Depart- ment, indicating that water was available at most all loca- tions tested. As of this writing, test holes are being drilled at these locations and it was hoped that full data on these drillings would be available for the annual town meeting in 1964, but due to the fact that the companies doing this type of work were so overloaded with work for other cities and towns that we were not able to start im- mediately, consequently the data will not be ready for the town meeting.

A six-inch water main from the fourteen-inch to Chestnut Street is being installed by the state to eliminate an overhead pipe over Route 91.
An agreement has been signed by the Department and the the State for the installation of a new pipe on Route 5, from the Larson residence northerly to the resi- dence of Mrs. Donaldson.
At a meeting with the town selectmen it was decided to put a 12-inch mechanical joint, cement lined pipe under Bridge Street. The Water Department is to pay the dif- ference of the existing six-inch line and the price of the new 12-inch pipe with no labor or installing charges to the department. This is being done because we are contem- plating installing a new 12-inch water main from the Don- nis Saw Mill on Linseed Road to the new line on Dwight Street, thus creating a new way to supply the town in case of a break in our other lines, and also alleviate a bad water situation along Linseed Road, which is being built up, with only a little plastic pipe serving these people.
Our revenue from water has been increasing every year, but there are quite a few delinquent water users who do not pay their water rent. Every year the State Au- ditors audit our books, they want to know why these bills are not paid up. They have demanded that the Water De- partment collect these bills, but we have done nothing about it. This past year it was voted by the commission- ers and approved by the Selectmen to collect these out- standing bills. This is the way we are going to proceed with the collections :
Our collector was told to secure proper forms which will be sent out to those people after April 1st of 1964 whose water bills have not been paid for one year. Thirty
52
days will be given to pay their bills in "full". If payment is not made in "full" their water will be shut off, and it will not be turned on until the bill is paid. There will be a charge for turning the water back on again.
We, the Water Commissioners, want to thank every one of you for your hearty cooperation in the past year and hope we can continue to serve you to the best of our ability.
Respectfully submitted,
RUPERT HARUBIN, Chairman RALPH F. VOLLINGER JOHN R. RUDY
