Report of the Finance Committee
FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1959 AND THE BUDGET FOR 1960
Please refer to the Town Accountant's report where you will find listed the transfers from the Reserve Fund which we made to cover deficiencies in various depart- ments during the year 1959.
We also refer you to the pages of this report wherein are listed the Budget Requests and our Recommenda- tions for 1960. We urge every voter to study these figures. We have given careful consideration to our recommendations and have attempted to keep in mind the financial condition of the town today and considered its future condition.
Your Finance Committee was faced with budget re- quests of $334.013.27 and with the certification of only $20,113.24 in 'Free Cash' we were obliged to make cuts wherever possible. Practically every request could be justified but we have doubts about the taxpayer's ability to pay for all the things we would like to have done.
With these requests in mind and without consideration of articles calling for further appropriations it is roughly estimated that the tax rate might well remain the same as last year. This is only an estimate since the Assessors set the final tax rate figure.
It is definitely up to the voters as to how much the tax rate will be. You may add or subtract from our recom-
67
mendations. For each $1,000.00 added it will mean an additional 24¢ to the tax rate. To put it another way, you add $1.00 to the tax rate every time you vote an addi- tional $4,000.00.
We wish to thank all town officers for their fine co- operation and commend them for holding down over- drafts and requests for transfers from the Reserve Fund.

Report of Water Commissioners
The following routine work was performed by the Water Department during 1959: 8 renewals of old ser- vices, 4 new services, 7 new steamer hydrants installed, 3 old hydrants repaired and 11 new meters installed.
The old 2" iron pipe extending approximately 300 feet beyond the last hydrant on North Street and serving four customers, was replaced with a 6" cast iron main.
Under the Acts of 1955, Chapter 332, which provides that the abuttors and/or developers of a street be assessed for the laying of mains, an extension of approximately 400 feet of 6" cast iron main was laid on Sunset Drive (so called), the development of Mr. Julius Sofinowski off South Street.
The developer of this street, Mr. Sofinowski, paid in full his part of the cost of this extension, prior to the ex- cavating for this main.
Under the Acts of 1955, Chapter 332, an extension of approximately 600 feet of 6" cast iron main was laid on Eastern Ave. An additional 300 feet of 6" cast iron main was added to this main by Mr. Ernest Graves, as developer of this street. This addition to the 600 feet already installed, was paid for, in full by Mr. Graves.
A 6" cast iron service from the 8" main was made to the new Haydenville Bank building, to supply their
72
sprinkler system. The cost of this service will be paid in full by the Haydenville Bank.
A total of 9,974,200 gallons were pumped during 1959. A total of 45,417,615 gallons from the storage reservoir were recorded at the chlorinator station.

Again this year the state assisted in the removal of some of the diseased trees. This has been greatly appre- ciated and it is hoped that this aid will be forthcoming next year. As in the past, this will depend upon the

townspeople, since the state will only help those who make an effort to help themselves. The support of all who made this possible last year is appreciated.

Haydenville Library Report
The appropriation for the Haydenville Library this past year was used for current expenses and for the following work :
Gutters and ridgepoles repaired
New cellar window frames and sills to replace rotted ones
Entire outside trim painted
Many window panes replaced, and all panes freshly puttied where needed
Screens installed on all winodws in an effort to eliminate constant breakage from vandalism
Foundation shrubbery planted
In order to complete the above projects an appeal was made to the Finance Committee for further funds. This was granted.
A Washington Hawthorn tree, given by Mr. Rederick McLeod, was planted on the library grounds to replace a maple tree taken down when the new bridge was con- structed.
A row of hemlocks was planted by the Haydenville Woman's Club along the river wall, which in time should make a very pleasing hedge.
No new books were bought. The Bookmobile, sup- ported by the State, supplied loans of about 150 fine books every 6 to 8 weeks.

Report of the Police Department
The Police Department submits the following report for the year ending December 31, 1959 :
The streets were patrolled most week-ends and holi- days for a total of 846 hours with 4,674 miles being trav- eled. Because of the general increase of crime through- out the area as well as locally, it was found necessary to do most of this patrolling during late hours.
The Police Department, at the request of the Registry of Motor Vehicles, participated in four night watches during the year. There were of two hour duration be- tween the hours of 1 A.M. and 3 A.M.
Because of the traffic conditions, it was found neces- sary to have Police Officers direct traffic in front of St. Mary's Church in Haydenville at two services on Sun- days.
Twelve accidents were reported to the department. Five of these were investigated. Seven others, because of their nature did not require investigation. Two per- sons received injuries. None of these accidents were of serious nature.
The department received eight complaints of breaking and entering and larceny in the night. Four of these cases have been solved. The State Police were asked to assist in these cases.
Five patients were transported to the State Hospital by police.
Two cars were reported stolen. Both were recovered.
Seven persons reported dog bites.
80
Six stray dogs were destroyed by police.
Three dogs hit by cars. Two of these destroyed by police at owners' request.
Six dogs reported killed by cars. Four of these were strays.
One license was suspended by the registry at the re- quest of the police chief.
A total of sixty-three complaints were recorded by police. Many others of lesser degree were not recorded.
Fourteen complaints were brought before the district court as follows :
Drunkenness
3
Speeding
5
Driving under influence 1
Endangering 1
Left of center
1
Disturbing the peace
1
Sticker
1
Improper turning
1
Ten pleaded guilty or were found guilty. Two were found not guilty. One dismissed for lack of prosecution. One is still pending.
Twenty summoneses were served for outside depart- ments.
The State Police were called for assistance on many occasions and their prompt and efficient help was greatly appreciated.

Report of Fire Department
Fire calls during the year were as follows: 3 house, 7 grass and brush, 6 barn, 3 vehicle, 5 dump, 3 mutual aid, 4 oil burner and 2 false alarms.
Three Hampshire County Mutual Aid meetings were held here this year. Plans for our county radio network are not complete so we have not purchased the equipment. But we hope to have it in operation in 1960.
Three members attended a fire investigation class in Greenfield, put on by the State Fire Marshal's office.
Our Reo pumper did not pass its pumping tests. The New England Fire Insurance Rating Association in 1955 recommended the pumper in Williamsburg be replaced. Considerable time and effort have been spent on this subject by this department and a committee voted by the town. It is tragic to think that someone may lose a life or have large property loss because we are depending on a truck built in 1937. We recommend (as did the special committee) that the town purchase a truck with more horsepower, larger water tank pump, and hose body, also of modern design for firefighting.
Also the rating association at that time recommended a new Haydenville Fire Station to be built of modern design, fire resistive materials, and of sufficient size to provide for safe and adequate housing of apparatus, with provisions for storage and care of hose and equipment and facilities for fire department meetings.
The Williamsburg Firefighters Association purchased a maximum 1,000-gallon per minute muster truck of their own. This vehicle could be used if we have a fire requir-
82
ing a large pumping engine. This was a custom built truck and, although it is 30 years old, it will still pump its rated capacity.
Our three schools were inspected, and although no seri- ous fire hazards seem to exist, the Helen E. James and Haydenville Schools should be protected with sprinkler systems. This would slow up or stop the spread of fire while children are in school, or, when no one is in the building, it could sound the alarm for the fire department. This would help prevent total destruction of the build- ings, or spread of fire to nearby property.

Report of Director of Civil Defense
To the Citizens of the Town of Williamsburg From the Mass. Civil Defense Agency, 143 Speen St., Natick, Mass.
"1. The peril is real and great.
2. You can defend yourself against it."
During the past year radical changes have taken place in the conception of protection from atomic attack. We have entirely done away with the idea of mass evacua- tion. We have emerged from the now obsolete jet age to the missile era. Where we did anticipate 4 of 5 hours warning, we now anticipate no warning whatever. If not today subject to intercontinental missiles we positive- ly are subject to very accurate attack by intermediate missiles fired from submarines in both oceans as well as the Gulf of Mexico. No point in the United States is be- yond range.
Not only is warning time zero, but immediate protec- tion is zero. However, survivors, if any, would be, in high probability, cut off from all sources of supply. Underground water could be used without any misgiv- ings whatever, but it is not conceivable that food supplies would get through for some time. Furthermore, radio- active fallout danger would be a great peril for many days if not weeks. About all we can do to protect our- selves is to be sure we all have in our homes at least two
85
weeks' supply of food, emergency fuel and illumination. All food must be stored where there would be a minimum of radioactive exposure.
Full information is availabel at all times at the Main Street office of Civil Defense.
If an attack comes, anticipate complete isolation from the rest of the country for considerable time and remem- ber we would very probably be without the three basics of food, electricity and fuel.
Respectfully submitted,
CARL M. HEMENWAY, Director of Civil Defense

During 1959 we had a total of 29 storm centers move through our town. Included were twenty snow storms, nine rain, freezing rain or sleet storms with total accumu- lation of snow: 17". We had to plow twelve of these storms and plows were out days following on four of these storms because of drifting. Many of the other storms were small enough so that sanding of roads made them passable. We are increasing our request in this account by $2,000.00 in order to give the town faster plowing of roads and more sanding especially on the back roads where our present budget does not allow for complete sand coverage because we feel that in this modern day all roads should be plowed and sanded as soon as possible.
CHAPTER 81
On our Chapter 81 maintenance account we are enclos- ing in our report names of streets and amounts expended on each street. Because of a two cent per gallon drop in price of asphalt we increased sealing operations with the idea that next year we could do less sealing and use more money to attend to some of the drainage problems on these roads. This year's work has been inspected and

approved by the Department of Public Works Office in Greenfield.
CHAPTER 90 CONSTRUCTION
In our Chapter 90 account we came from the junction of Ashfield Road and Hemenway Road southerly to 400 feet south of Lower Road Bridge. This old bridge re- placed with multi-plate pipe arch type culvert having a span of 12' 10" and a rise of 8' 4" plus straightening of road through this section. This work also includes drain- age installed, shoulders built and sloped and road grav- eled to grade. Top will go on next year. This work also has been inspected and approved by the Department of Public Works. We also have requested and are receiving a preliminary survey line on a section of Mountain Street, we feel will have to be rebuilt in the near future.
CHAPTER 90 MAINTENANCE
With this account we sealed one mile of Mountain Street, from Whately line southerly, and on same street worked two drainage problems. We sealed South Main Street, from the junction of South Main and Mountain Street, to the Northampton town line, and worked one drainage problem on this street. We also sealed twelve hundred feet of Chesterfield Road, from Route 9 wester- ly to first bridge, and did some ditch work on this road.
