Tax Collector's Report
The following is my report as Tax Collector for the year 1923 :
The new law passed in 1923 means that all taxes must be paid before October 1st, following the year of assessment, and all outstanding taxes previous to the 1923 tax must be paid at once.
Much trouble has been caused by delinquent tax payers objecting to paying interest, but the law requires that interest must be paid on unpaid taxes, after November 1st, dating from October 15th.

Report of Board of Health
Reported to this Board 64 cases, diseases dangerous to public health. Homes quarantined, 31.
During the epidemic of Scarlet Fever, a physician was employed to make daily inspection of pupils at High School building.
Outside toilets private water supplies, pollution by throwing decayed animal and vegetable matter into the streams and sewerage are a source of complaint. Some cases are dangerous to health.
Summer months garbage should be taken care of every day, it takes but a few minutes to cover with dirt in the garden. If thrown on the ash heap it becomes unsightly, gives off offensive odors and becomes the breeding place of millions of flies. One empty tin can if left to collect rain water will in a few days breed mosquitoes that will keep a whole neighborhood indoors after the sun goes down. If there is no other way to dispose of empty cans, take a ham- mer and crush them so that water will not collect.

MOTH WEEK-1923
The suppression of the gypsy moth continues to be one of the economic problems. The work of destroying the eggs was started in November and continued through the month, with a total of 878 clusters destroyed, said to contain 300 to 500 eggs in each cluster. This is done by painting them with creosote.
The apple and white oak are the trees most likely to be infected and one is surprised at the number of old scrub apple trees scattered all over the township.
They are the breeding places of thousands of insects which destroy our fruit and vegetation, and it is earnestly requested that land owners cause these trees to be cut down and burned.
One locality was found where there were several large white oaks growing in or near a stone wall; this wall was taken down for several rods, quantities of eggs were found and destroyed. Later leaves and brush were piled on the wall and saturated with oil and burned. These trees have since been cut and the wood inspected.
Land owners are requested to familiarize themselves with the habits of this pest and when pruning in winter or early spring, if egg clusters are found call the moth superintendent, who will see that they are destroyed. (DO NOT SCRAPE EGGS FROM TREES.)
Cards containing the cycle of life with photo in color of the gipsy moth and the brown tail moth can be had at any time.

Report of Library Trustees
The trustees of the Haydenville Village Library make the following report :
The number of books listed at the present time, 3085.
About 60 volumes have been added this year.
The circulation of books has increased this year.
About 100 people are now taking books from the library.
The greatest care has been used in selection of books and we feel we have a good collection of books. Mrs. Hattie Metcalf is our present librarian and we are to be congratu- lated in having one so well qualified to serve in that posi- tion.
The public is urged to make use of the library in the largest possible measure.
It is very necessary in the coming year that repairs should be made on the library building and that it be painted at an approximate cost of one hundred dollars.
Therefore, a larger amount should be appropriated for these expenditures.
The Haydenville Library Association has met with a great loss in the death of Mr. E. Cyrus Miller and Mr. George M. Page, who have been trustees of the library for many years.
37
Mr. Page was one who could be always depended upon for excellent judgment in all its affairs.
Mr. Miller gave a great deal of his time to the selection of books.
He was always interested in everything connected with the library.
The financial statement :
Paid E. V. Dumphy, books, $3.00
Bridgman & Lyman, books, 50.07
Hattie A. Metcalf, Librarian, 26.00
G. A. Robertson, History of World War, 6.00

Report of Extension Service
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Williamsburg.
I respectfully offer the report of the work done by Extension Service Agents in Williamsburg during 1923 :
Agricultural Work :
Three lines of work have been carried on in 1923: (1) Fruit Production; (2) Poultry Production ; (3) Fertil- izers and Crops.
Fruit Production : An Extension School was held Feb- ruary 21 at which Prof. Sears of M. A. C. discussed Fertil- ization of Apple Trees and the Spray program. As a result, the following men used Nitrate of Soda in their orchards : H. A. Parmalee, F .A. Shumway, Chas. Powers, S. S. Clark, N. K. Lincoln and John Ice. On bearing trees the nitrate gave a larger crop of better apples than the unfertilized trees. On trees not bearing this year, it gave better growth and set more fruit buds than unfertilized trees. The adop- tion of this practice Ly fruit growers of the town would return them more in one year than the town appropriates in five.
A pruning demonstration was held at S. S. Clark's November 15 to show how to prune bearing trees.
Poultry Production : The work with poultry was intro- duced at an Extension School held February 20, taking up (a) general management, (b) incubation, brooding, (c) dis-
39
ease control and )d) Poultry accounts. As a result of the general management talk, a few people adopted labor saving devices such as range hoppers, open air summer houses, and improved labor saving devices for watering chicks. In dis- ease control, four people carried on demonstrations this year, showing that paralysis could be avoided. Two flocks have been tested and found free from white diarrhea, thus furnishing a source of chickens free from this serious dis- ease. In poultry accounts, four men reported for the year, giving them valuable information and furnishing the exten- sion service with information for Extension Schools.
Personal service and help has been given with correct- ing methods and mitritional trouble with chickens.
Crops and Fertilizers: S. S. Clark, Chas. Powers and F. A. Shumway demonstrated that Nitrate of Soda gave profitable returns on the hay crop. The pasture demon- stration at S. S. Clark's shows results from acid phosphate which was put on four years ago. This means that the car- rying capacity of good pastures can be increased greatly by using acid phosphate.
Certified seed potatoes were brought in by the West- ern Hampshire Farmers' Exchange and gave uniformly good results.
Home Demonstration Work: The Clothing Construc- tion Project was carried on by a group of women. This project consists of work in line and color of costume, use and alteration of commercial patterns, making of guide pattern, use of guide pattern for various dresses and for undergarments; and a summary meeting held at North- ampton.
Club Work: 40 boys and girls were enrolled as club members in 1923. The room club run by Mrs. Murray
40
Graves was a great success and one of the best in the State. The club put on an exhibit at the Eastern States Exposi- tion. They are to continue another year's work and have raised money by giving a play to buy some equipment.
There were sewing, garden, poultry and dairy club members also who did good work. For 1924 we hope to organize groups to take up the summer projects and have already started work in handicraft, sewing, and room club for the winter.
CHAS. A. POWERS,
Town Director.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
OF THE
Town of Williamsburg
FOR THE
Year Ending December 31, 1923
Report of School Committee
To the Citizens of the Town of Williamsburg.
Your School Committee beg leave to offer their Annual Report as follows :
In our last Report, attention was called to the lack of room in our High School; as yet, this condition has not been improved upon. We again call attention to this con- dition which is one that should have relief.
There is an overcrowded condition in the First Pri- mary Grade at Haydenville. This is a one room building and it will be absolutely necessary to erect an addition to this building during the coming Summer.
Extensive repairs are necessary to our Mountain Street and Second Primary Schools as well as painting the exterior and some of the interior of the Haydenville Gram- mar School. These repairs are costly but in every case are absolutely necessary.
A very serious condition exists in the rear of the Hay- denville Grammar School that is the cause of a great deal of just complaint. When the Ives property was made a part of the School Playground, an open brook which ran through the property was enclosed in concrete. From recent experience, the enclosure appears to be too small to carry off the water after heavy rain storms. This causes the water to overflow, filling the basement of the Congrega-
56
tional Church, School and other nearby places. It is proba- ble that the casing will have to be enlarged at an expense of about $500.00.
The expense of transporting pupils during the past year has been far too great. Of course a certain part of the expenditure will be repaid by the State, but we feel sure that the expense can be materially reduced by competitive bidding. This plan we are going to try out before the schools open for the Fall Term.
The 1924 school year, with the necessary repairs, prom- ises to be more expensive than usual. We feel, however, that you can place every confidence in your School Com- mittee to have all repairs made and purchases at the lowest possible cost.
The Budget we are going to ask for 1924 is as follows :
Teachers' Salaries,
$17,000.00
Janitors' Salaries,
1,825.00
Janitors' supplies,
200.00
Music and Penmanship,
1,100.00

School Committee (2 years),

$33,500.00
Your Committee sincerely hope that it will be the pleas- ure of the Town Meeting to allow this appropriation, which we consider absolutely necessary, and putting off repairs will only cause larger expenditures at a later time.
It would appear ungrateful if we closed our year's re- port without thanking our Superintendent, Teachers, Super- visor and Janitors for the best of co-operation we have received from them, and to the pupils who are showing a far better "School Spirit" than could be observed in the past.
Respectfully submitted,
J. CLARK FOSTER, SUSAN H. WHEELER, WALTER H. THAYER,
School Committee.
