Our Chapter 90 work was applied to High and Mountain Streets this year and we suggest that it be continued next year on this same road, with a view towards a good cross road to Whately and Greenfield.
Through the fine cooperation of the Town's Finance Committee we have been able to conduct the Town's affairs for the past year without the necessity of any special Town Meetings, and we feel that this is good business, and take this opportunity to extend to them our appreciation.

Report of Water Commissioners
To the Citizens of Williamsburg,
Your Water Board reports :
This past year a very active one in regard to improvements on the Watershed of the Reservoir.
Through the ERA a group of citizens from Haydenville and Williamsburg were given employment there and much constructive work was completed.
This group has been directly under the supervision of the Chair- man of the Water Board, Mr. Geo. A. Thresher.
Necessary sanitary precautions were taken to guard against the polution of the streams and a test was made of each man em- ployed there by the State Dept. of Health, for typhoid carrier sus- pects.
Following is a list of some of the work accomplished :
Repaired roads, built new culverts, repaired bridges, built a new road from the main reservoir to the Davenport property, cleared all the main brooks, cleared springs and cut much brush
Some cordwood was obtained in clearing up the brooks and this was given to the Welfare Dept. of the town.
The Water Board would like to take this opportunity of extend- ing our thanks to Mr. A. J. Polmatier for his kind cooperation throughout the year and also to the men who worked on these projects.
The watershed boundaries were surveyed during the year by Civil Engineer, Mr. O. E. Brainerd and steel stakes put at the various corners, also numerous line stakes where necessary.
Mr. Brainerd has been commissioned to make a drawing of the watershed property so future water boards will be able to locate boundaries easily.
Ten thousand four year old Red Pine trees were set out this past year. Most of them were planted on the recently acquired Reinhart property.
We are seeking your approval for funds in this year's budget to plant twenty thousand more.
These trees are planted 6 ft. apart each way and it takes about 1,200 trees to an acre.
33
There are now about 40 acres of cleared land ready for re- forestation.
GEO. A. THRESHER, Chairman, RAYMOND GRAY, CHAS A. POWERS,
