Report of the Tree Warden


There has been about the same number of shade trees planted as last season and about the same amount of trimming done.


SPRAYING.


Last spring, for the first time, our elm trees were sprayed for the elm-leaf beetle, and although they should have been sprayed two or three years sooner, yet it has proved to be a success and, if continued each season, will, I have no doubt, preserve all the sound elms indefinitely or until they die of old age or for some other reason.


Personally I am in favor of continuing this work, as it seems to be the only method at present of saving our elm shade trees.


Although the cost of spraying was more than my estimate in last season's report, yet there were several reasons for this. First, it was the worst season known for work of this kind ; it was cloudy and rainy about one half of the time. Second, our spray- ing outfit was inadequate for the amount of work to be done in time to be of the most benefit, taking six weeks to do the work which should have been done in three or four at the most.


With a first-class, up-to-date power sprayer, the work could be done considerably cheaper, with less material and in about one half the time, and, what is of more importance, killing the beetles before the damage is done.


As to the cost of such machine I have not the figures at the present writing, but can furnish them at the annual March Town Meeting.

AGAWAM, February 1, 1911.


REPORT OF THE Sealer of Weights and Measures


To the Selectmen of Agawam :-


GENTLEMEN-The duties of the Sealer of Weights and Meas- ures have been more complicated this year than in the past, owing to more laws and the more rigid enforcement of them by the State Department of Weights and Measures.


If the merchants and others doing business in this Town would understand that the law requires that all scales or meas- ures must be sealed by the Town Sealer before they are used, and a neglect to comply with this law makes them liable to a fine of fifty ($50.00) dollars, they would save themselves trouble and make the work easier for the Sealer.


According to this law, "sold by weight" means net, not gross, weight.

Report of School Committee


To the Citizens of Agawam :-


One of the results of the increase in population which has developed in Agawam during the past few years is an increased enrollment in our public schools, and this increase has been more marked during the past year than at any other time. At the opening of school in September some of the rooms were so much overcrowded that it was impossible to find room for all the chil- dren in the rooms where they naturally belonged. This was particularly true in Room 1 at Mittineague, the intermediate room at Agawam Center, and the intermediate room at Feeding Hills. At Agawam Center it was necessary to send some pupils to Mittineague, and also to send back to the Suffield Street School the fifth grade and to the South School the sixth grade pupils. This gives the Suffield Street and South Schools more grades than are intended, but it has enabled us to care for all the children, yet we are sure that something must be done very soon in the way of providing more school room. This could be done by establishing a High School in our town and placing the ninth grade pupils from the three Grammar Schools in the new High School building. This would allow of rearranging the grades in the other rooms at the three villages so that for a time there would be room enough. This plan would also bring us in line with all the other towns of our size in this state. Although we call the West Springfield High School our High School, and while we believe that our pupils are given the same attention that is given the pupils that live in West Springfield, yet we feel it would be a benefit to the Town of Agawam if we had an equally good school located in our own Town. Another plan would be to enlarge the brick buildings at Agawam Center and Feeding

Hills, giving four schoolrooms to each building, with a better arrangement of corridors and a means of access to the different rooms and the basement without the present difficulties. Another plan would be to build more one-room outlying school buildings. This would give relief to the overcrowded rooms, but would, in our opinion, be a step backward, as it would mean more small schools with unsatisfactory grading.


During the past year new sanitary equipments have been installed in the brick buildings at Agawam Center and Feeding Hills. These were furnished by the Stone, Underhill Co., and were installed under their supervision. The Stone, Underhill Co. is the successor to the Fuller & Warren Co., who installed the same device in the Mittineague building.


The West Street School at Feeding Hills has had one side shingled during the past year and various other small repairs have been made at the other buildings.


The open weather before the Christmas vacation allowed us to postpone transportation at the expense of the Town until the opening of the winter term, so there is a small unexpended bal- ance on this account.


Your Committee realize that our schools are not doing the proper amount of work in drawing. Drawing is a required study in our state, but we find it difficult to get satisfactory work done in this line without a Supervisor. Arrangements are now being made with the Town of Ludlow whereby we expect to be able to get a Supervisor who will spend two days each week in this Town, giving instruction that we feel sure will be of great benefit to our schools.


We would call particular attention to the interesting report of our Superintendent.


We are presenting our financial statement in a somewhat different form than has been the custom. The state authorities are trying to get a uniform method of accounting adopted, and this year we are trying to conform with their request as far as possible and also conform to the different appropriations as made

at the last annual Town Meeting. At the last annual Town Meeting, when it was voted to have the annual Town Meeting one month earlier this year, we revised our estimates, as there would be a month less service to pay for before the books were closed, and it would also be too soon to get the bill from West Springfield for High School tuition for the winter term; hence the appropriations and expenditures are not for a full year. In our recommendation for an appropriation for the ensuing year we are going to ask for one appropriation to cover all the usual necessary school expenses. We are obliged to engage a Super- intendent and teachers and to furnish the necessary books and supplies. We are also obliged to furnish a High School educa- tion for those who are entitled to it. We are obliged to furnish medical inspection, and also to keep our school buildings in ordinary repair, and the transportation of pupils during the winter has become so well established that we see no reason why this should not also be included in the regular appropria- tion. When new buildings are needed, or extraordinary im- provements, we should, of course, ask separate consideration for such things. Your Committee figures as closely as is possible in making our estimates. You have usually been kind enough to grant what we asked for, and we have always tried to keep within our appropriations. We ask this year for an appropria- tion of $12,000 for all school purposes, and our estimate is based on about the following division of the money :-


Schools, superintendence and supplies. $8,800


High School tuition. 2,300


Transportation 600


Repairs 200


Medical inspection 100
