Assessors' Report


During this year the values as determined by the J. M. Cleminshaw Company were used as a basis for assess- ment of real estate. These values increased the assessed value of real estate $2,193,352 or 121%. As a result of this survey, the Board of Assessors feel that each parcel of land is assessed fairly and each owner is paying taxes in accordance with what he owns.


Twenty-seven abatements were filed after the tax bills were sent out. These abatements were reviewed and action was taken under the advice of Mr. William J. Morrison of the Cleminshaw Company.


Taxes abated amounted to $329.56 on fifteen parcels, all others were denied.


The method of computing the tax rate for the year 1958 is as follows :


Appropriations to be raised $311,591.98


Taken from available funds in 1958 $20,544.57


In 1957 since 1957 rate

Report of Water Commissioners


During the past year the following routine work was performed by the Water Department: 17 renewals of old services, 4 new services and 16 new meters installed.


The Grist Mill dam was reinforced where erosion had started to undermine the support for the water main crossing at this point.


The watershed was inspected by a representative of the State Board of Health.


The inspection, cleaning and repair of the lower reser- voir was completed on November 20th. This project in- cluded the removal of silt, complete flushing of the in- terior of the reservoir, and the removal of gravel and rock at the head of the reservoir. The removal of this material increased the storage capacity approximately 100,000 gallons. The old screens were replaced by new frames and bronze screening and an additional set of screens installed. The gate valves were inspected and re- packed. New gate control rods were installed. The in- terior walls of the reservoir were cemented where needed. The gravel and rock removed from the reservoir was used to construct an access roadway to the new bridge below the dam. A cat-walk was installed across the spillway making access to the gatehouse possible at all times. An additional silt gate was installed at the base of the intake chamber to facilitate cleaning in the future.


The Engineer inspecting this reservoir reported it "very well built and in good condition."


The vacancy on the Board caused by the resignation of George Childs was filled by the appointment of Robert Mccutcheon to complete the term.


63


The final payment on the Sanitorium extension loan was made this year.


Due to the near normal rainfall this year, the electric pump at the Pumping Station was in operation only 36 days to supplement the reservoir supply. Total gallons pumped for this purpose were 9,898,200. The pump was in operation for 17 days additional while the lower reser- voir was being cleaned. 8,109,500 gallons were pumped during this period.


The recorded flow through the chlorinator for the year was 47,696,460 gallons.

Fourteen samples were taken and all were found to be diseased. Four of these were removed, plus one remain- ing from last year. Ten now remain to be removed. Three of those removed were topped and dropped by the utility companies at no expense to the town.


In the late summer, a survey was made in conjunc- tion with Grover C. Twiss, area representative, and it was found that the town was heavily infested with Dutch Elm Diease, not only public trees, but private ones as well. A meeting was held with John Anderson, the West- ern Massachusetts Superintendent, and it was decided to have a state crew take samples. One day was spent in each village. Twenty-nine samples were taken, of which twenty-seven were found to be diseased. The state then sent in a crew to drop 16 trees at no expense to the town. However, this constitutes about one half of the cost of removal and the town must assume the other one-half, which includes the removal and disposal. Thus the state will only take down those trees which the 1959 appro- priation will cover. Eleven more trees remain in this group and most require topping. The state can only continue this aid if enough interest is displayed in rid- ding our town of this disease.


The cooperation of the townspeople is greatly appre- ciated.

Library Report


Circulation for the year 1958 went to a new high as the library, in addition to the Friday night opening, was open one afternoon twice a month to accommodate the school children who came with their teachers. Because of the size of the library, it did not prove too satisfactory. This year the Greenfield Regional Library is bringing books directly to the school as well as to the library.


Work planned for the outside was held up because of the question of the deed but we hope to carry out some of our plans this year.

Report of the Police Department


The Police Department submits the following report for the year ending December 31, 1958 :


The streets were patrolled most week-ends and holi- days for a total of 725 hours with 3,855 miles being trav- eled. It was found necessary to do more late night patrolling because of the increase in the number of cases of Breaking and Entering.


Seventeen accidents were reported to the department. Ten of these were investigated and seven were not.


Ten persons received injuries in accidents, two of which were of a serious nature. There were no fatalities.


Four licenses were suspended by the Registrar at the request of the Chief of Police.


Three cars were reported stolen and all later recov- ered. One located in Lee, one in Plainfield and one in Northampton.


Several cars were stopped for minor infractions and the operators warned.


Three patients were taken to the State Hospital by Police.


The Department received seven complaints of Break- ing and Entering and Larceny in the Night Time. Two of these cases have been solved. The State Police were asked to assist in these cases.


Seven persons reported being bitten by dogs.


Eleven dogs were hit by cars. Three killed. One de-


70


stroyed by Police at the owner's request. Three stray dogs killed by cars. Four dogs not seriously hurt.


Two stray dogs and a litter of five pups taken to the S.P.C.A. by Police.

Report of Fire Department


The fire department consists of 2 companies, #1 in Williamsburg and #2 in Haydenville. Patrick Larkin is assistant chief.


Fire calls during the year were as follows: 12 chim- ney, 6 house, 8 grass and brush, 3 barn, 2 car and 5 dump. We also answered six accident calls and three mutual aid calls.


In May, fire department members of Hampshire Coun- ty met in Williamsburg and formed the Hampshire County Mutual Aid. This ties together almost all the fire resources in Hampshire County so that any town or city may receive all the help necessary in an emergency without additional cost.


Hilltown Mutual Aid is still in effect but this covers towns outside of our county.


We attended musters in Cummington, Hatfield, North- ampton, Mountain Park and Greenfield. These musters have been good training for the men and gave them the opportunity to see how other departments operate. It also gave us the chance to become acquainted with men in other departments with whom we may have to work under the mutual aid program.


Captain Ackerman of the Greenfield Fire Department held an eight week training course for the men in this department once again. This gives the men some ex- cellent training in modern firefighting.


The pumper in Williamsburg was purchased in 1937. The New England Insurance Rating Association recom-


72


mended as far back as 1955, that this engine be replaced with a new larger pumping engine. This truck has been outdated for a number of years and certainly is not re- liable for modern fire fighting. It should be replaced with a piece of apparatus having a larger motor, larger water tank, larger hosebed and a pump with more volume and pressure.


The Haydenville Station is badly in need of extensive repairs. Inasmuch as it is in a poor location it is felt by the firefighters that a new station, in a different loca- tion would be advisable.


We answer many of our calls by calling the men on the telephone instead of using the siren. This is quicker many times because the men are directed right to the fire.


The men in the fire department are eager and willing to help anyone in trouble. Without this cooperation the department could not be operated efficiently.

HOWARD A. SANDERSON, Fire Chief

Report of Special Committee


The committee appointed under Article 24 to look into possible sites for a town building was made up of the following members : Messrs. Arthur LaMagdelaine, Minor Frost, Harry Warner, Jr., Charles M. Damon, Jr., Walter E. Kellogg, Jr., Howard Sanderson and L. James Halber- stadt. Mr. Kellogg acted as chairman.


To select a site intelligently meant that it was necessary to have a good concept of the building to be erected. Accordingly the committee considered the possibility of various consolidations of departmental buildings to arrive at the most efficient building. The combinations studied are listed below :


1. Town Shed, Selectmen's Room, Joint Haydenville- Williamsburg Fire Station and records vault.


2. Town Shed, Selectmen's Room and records vault.


3. Town Shed for water and highway departments' equipment.


Survey proved that the towns could be protected ade- quately against fire only by having two separate fire sta- tions and it was felt that, at this time, it was best to avoid the expense of town offices. Therefore, it was agreed to look for a site suitable for a town shed but large enough, and so located, as to permit the addition of selectmen's room, etc. at a later date.


The indoor space required for the highway department trucks and equipment and the water department truck and equipment was found to be 50' x 60'. This would include room for small parts storage, toilet facilities and


74


a heating plant. The latter is necessary to avoid start- ing delays, and excessive wear of the big trucks in cold weather. The outdoor areas required for sand, pipe, building, and allowance for future expansion within the next 25 years, was set at 2 to 3 acres.


Study of the proportion of road work and road mileage in both villages showed that the ideal location would be in the general area from the Williamsburg Library to the railroad depot. Sites examined were as follows :


1. Railroad Depot.


2. Field across from Morris Clark's sawmill.


3. The Little League Ball Field.


4. Two sites on the Hathaway property on Bullard Road.


5. The Julius Sofinowski property on either side of Route 9.


Proximity to Route 9 was deemed desirable in order to meet future town office requirements and avoid undue wear on minor roads by the continual use of heavy equip- ment.


The committee has concluded that it is best to build a suitable building on the ball field or to build on land pur- chased from Mr. Sofiinowski on the north side of Route 9; or to purchase the land and Tydol garage from Mr. Sofi- nowski using the garage, with minor revisions, as the town shed.

Report of School Committee


To the Townspeople of Williamsburg :


Greetings :


The School Committee, comprising Miss Eleanor Mans- field, Mrs. Charles Kellogg and Messrs. Erol Bowie, Rich- ard Warren and Kenneth Sherk, organized with Miss Mansfield as Secretary and Kenneth Sherk as Chairman. Regular monthly meetings on the last Wednesday of each month and several special meetings were held. The meet- ings of the School Committee are open to the public.


We were fortunate to be able to replace the High School Principal and Junior High School science teacher, who resigned, with teachers of experience and high caliber.


The Committee has continued the program of replacing the older typewriters used by our students. We have also continued the replacement of old school furniture and we expect this program to be completed in 1960. Outdated text books are being replaced according to a plan.


The State has raised the minimum salary for begin- ning teachers to $3,600.00 per year and there are reasons to believe that it will be raised again this year. Many communities have adopted schedules to conform to the law and several have schedules with a minimum above the legal requirement. This problem will have to receive serious consideration by the Committee in the coming year. The teachers will be on the planned salary sched- ule by September 1959 but it has a $3,300.00 minimum, below the legal minimum and far below the anticipated state requirement.

We finished the financial year in the black by a very small margin. In another part of the report of the School Department will be found detailed information to show that income to the Town due to schools amounted to something over $70,500.00. This sum includes money from the Federal Government under P. L. 874 which has been used to reduce the requests this year and last year.


We received $11,500.00 from the estate of the late be- loved Anne T. Dunphy, the income from which is to be used to benefit the Helen E. James School and the school so appropriately named in her honor.


We believe that progress has been made to strengthen the academic program of our schools and to make them better places for students to learn. Mr. Earl Tonet has been appointed to be Assistant Principal of the High School, Mr. Henry Simm has been appointed to be Guid- ance Counselor on a part time basis and Mrs. Margaret Halberstadt has been appointed to be Study Hall Super- visor.


Our program of introducing German to the fourth, fifth and sixth grades has continued in both elementary schools. This is made possible by the splendid coopera- tion of Miss Marion Sonnenfeld and Mr. Ronald Hauser, both from the Smith College Department of German. We are most grateful to them.


The Committee wishes to acknowledge its debt to the Williamsburg Rotary Club for its continued high interest in school affairs. This club again offered a substantial scholarship to aid one of our graduates in his first year of college and in addition has offered the services of its professional members to aid in counseling and advising students who may have an interest in a particular field. Through its Social Service Committee, Rotary has aided the school in the improvement of the students' aural and visual abilities. It is a great satisfaction to know that
