Report of Water Commissioners
During the past year, we have had perhaps the most trying experience of any water commissioners ever serv- ing the citizens of Williamsburg.
Due to the age of our present water system and due to the fact that most all service connections previous to 1920 were of lead, this past year started what we maintain can be expected to happen in the years to come until such time as all these connections are renewed, namely the col- lapse of all such lead connections due to their age. Our service calls have increased to the point where we can no longer operate at the very low cost to the town as in the past.
We are all aware of the water emergency that existed during the month of September, and, also, of the precau- tions the Water Commissioners took when we were aware of the tremendous over consumption of water being used by those who have the use of the water supply. As per vote of Special Town Meeting, a committee is already working on a project to remedy this trouble, and it is our firm belief that the citizens should give this matter serious consideration.
Once again, may we call to your attention some of the hazards which are facing the water commissioners, the fire department and the citizens of our town.
This past summer proves beyond doubt the urgent : need of a larger water supply. From tests made, the vil- lage of Williamsburg is without adequate fire protection, due to the manner in which the system is layed out. In this particular section of the town, most every street in Williamsburg and one in Haydenville are dead ends. Most
46
of this trouble for fire protection can be overcome by the proposed pipe line extension over Village Hill with a stand- pipe and pumping station. This project would open up an entirely new section of the town for building purposes and would bring additional revenue to the town in the form of taxes and water rates, also help to increase our population.
Our reservoir property at the present time is a con- stant worry to your commissioners. The town now con- trols approximately 800 acres of land, and over a period of years, very little money has been expended in the bare necessity of its upkeep. We have tried during the past two years to work on the fire roads on this property, but from lack of funds, we have not even made a slight im- pression on this work.
The water system is old and from this point on can be expected to cost more to maintain, and cause the citizens annoyance when some of these repairs are being made.
During the past year, it was necessary for us to ask for help from different sources and to the following we wish to express our sincere gratitude :
Members of Board of Selectmen, Members of School Board, Chief of Fire Dept., Supt. of Highways, Chief Ulm of Easthampton Fire Dept., Supt. Kaepple of Easthamp- ton Water Dept., R. F. Mutter, chairman of Easthampton Board of Public Works, Supt. Frank Hennessy and his assistant, Geo. Fisher of Northampton Water Dept. and Sam O'Connell of Northampton Fire Dept.
These men made it possible for us to obtain and put into operation the emergency pump outfit. We also wish to express our thanks to the citizens of the town for their co-operation.
MARTIN J. DUNPHY, EDWARD BEATTIE, ROBERT WELLS, Water Commissioners.

Report of the Recreation Commission
During the year 1946 the Recreation Commission met frequently to plan and carry out the job for which it is responsible. Early in the year the Commission held a public forum on "What Williamsburg Wants for Recrea- tion". Leaders of the town representing various age and interest groups spoke on the theme of the meeting. The meeting served a double purpose. It helped to stimulate interest in the town's recreational needs, and it gave the Recreation Commission a clearer picture of the wants of the people.
Clearly expressed in the open forum was the desire for adequate swimming facilities in town. This desire came from several sources. Because no money was available for this project, however, the Commission had to turn to other endeavors.
A program of basketball was conducted for the boys of the town last winter. This program provided recrea- tion for a large number of boys from fifth grade through high school. In the spring and summer baseball was sponsored by the Commission, equipment being furnished for the use of the youngsters.
Thanks to the kindness of Mr. Leslie Taylor who offered the use of his land, a skating rink has been built on Williams Street. The rink has been enlarged and will be lighted. The usefulness of the rink has been hindered greatly by the weather this winter, but facilities for skating are provided whenever possible.

The newly acquired Community Building was started on the road to usefulness by your Recreation Commission with the cooperation of a group of our young men. The ell of the building is new being used as a recreation room. A pool table has been installed and some of our vets have given time to develop this room. Donations of bridge lamps, tables, comfortable chairs etc. to furnish the rooms would be well received.
.
The Community building in Haydenville has been the site of a good deal of recreational activity this year. In addition it has been rented to private parties on several occasions. A sum of $65.00 has been turned over to the · Town Treasurer from this source.
Your Recreation Commission has enjoyed serving you in what it feels to be an all important task. We solicit your suggestions and your support.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE MOSHER MERTON BICKFORD JOHN WEBSTER

The Town has been fortunate during the past year in having some of the rural roadways cleared of brush and trees which were dangerously close to the highway. This work was done by the Telephone and Electric Light Companies to provide wiring to houses in the outlying districts.
One large tree on the Chesterfield Road was removed also an elm tree on Village Hill Ave. Trimming was done on Depot Road, Mountain Street and Hatfield Street.
Wood and brush from broken limbs caused by wind was removed.
Respectfully submitted,
AUSTIN SNOW,

Report of Board of Health
The Board of Health submits the following report for the period from Feb. 1 to Dec. 31, 1946.
The Board of Health held regular meetings the first Monday evening of each month as well as several special meetings.
Mr. Albert Lawton was appointed Inspector of Ani- mals and Inspector of Slaughtering. Mr. Arthur Polma- tier was appointed as Milk Inspector. Both of these men have been very cooperative with the Board of Health.
A regular series of bacterial analysis of the milk being sold in Williamsburg has been inaugurated.
Several regulations have been enacted in the interest of the public and are reprinted below. One set pertains to the control of communicable diseases. The first item in this group is designed to help prevent the spread of a contagious disease by making its presence known so that a quarantine may be enforced or other precautions taken. Item two is authority to prescribe isolation in certain cases where it is required for proper protection of the public. The third regulation is designed to prevent the unnecessary spread of contagion due to the premature return to school by a pupil who has had a contagious ill- ness.
