Report of Fire Commissioners
The Fire Department is better equipped and its standard of efficiency is higher than ever. During the year the three companies have responded to twenty-five calls, and rendered valuable service in many cases. Some of the calls were from localities not supplied with hydrants, but even here, the depart- ment proved its worth in saving property and controlling fires. This is the first year that all of the men have received any pay, $200 was divided among the members of each company. This amount we feel is small enough in recognition of the faithful services rendered.
The new hose house for the Mittineague company is not ready for occupancy but we think it will be soon. This new building we feel sure will be a credit to the Town and give strength and efficiency to that company. With the completion of this building two companies are well housed, with rooms for apparatus and men's use, but the equipment at Agawam Center is still housed in a horse shed, with no place for the men to meet, and no provision for heating. Under these con- ditions the truck and extinguishers cannot be kept ready for instant use. We therefore urge the provision of suitable quarters for the company at Agawam Center.

REPORT OF THE Tree and Forest Warden
To the Citizens of Agawam :
In addition to our usual work on trees the past season. we expended nearly two hundred dollars on brown tailed moth work, this was in accordance with State laws relative to this pest.
We found about two-thirds of the Town infested, some places heavily, others lightly.
This work is very important and must be repeated between now and April 1, 1917.
I presume most people in this Town are familiar with the brown tailed moth and its habits, however, I will give a short description of them and their habits.
The eggs are deposited on the underside of leaves of fruit trees during July by an almost pure white miller with a brown tail (hence the name) the last of August these eggs (about 300 in number) hatch and the catapillar soon begins feeding in clusters on upperside of leaves, along in September, they commence spinning their webs by drawing several leaves together and spin with a strong silken web, they also attach this web to a small branch or twig with the same strong web.
The number of catapillars in each web will average about 250.
As cold weather approaches these quarter grown cata- pillars from one-fourth to one-half inches long enter these webs and close the exits, cold does not seem to affect them to any extent.
The next spring about April 1 or a little later, these
64
D
young catapillars emerge from their nests with a great ap- petite, eating first the buds then the blossom and later the leaves, especially of oak and fruit trees.
Along the last of June the full grown catapillars (about two inches in length ) purpate into small brown cocoons, and the moths emerge about the middle of July already for another cycle of propagation.
The best way to control these is by picking, the webs in winter when trees are dormant and bare of leaves and it is necessary to be as thorough as possible in this work as if many webs are left, serious infection will occur, spreading to our large elm and maple shade trees thus making a very costly job to control them. Spraying with arsenate of lead about May 1st, would be effective in controling this pest, but, much more costly.
Your servant considers this moth work the most important of any which comes under this jurisdiction as if the pests are not controlled not only would our fruit, shade and forest trees be stripped of leaves and eventually die, but it would be almost impossible to be out in the open any length of time on account of these pests shedding their poisonous hairs; as instance, one citizen of this town nearly had blood poison from this cause.
We found nests on the following streets: Springfield, Walnut, Spring, High, Ottawa, Bridge, Moore, and Maple in Mittineague. In Feeding Hills on Springfield, Westfield, and West Streets. In Agawam on Suffield, Main, Cooper, Meadow School, Elm, South and River Road. The whole number found being 1498 at a cost of $188.81, mostly for labor.
In other work including spraying, trimming, cutting dead trees and brush, we have accomplished about the usual amount : the exceptions being in tree planting. On account of high prices for labor, and supplies of all kinds, we only planted about one half as many as usual.
FOREST FIRES.
The past season we had only four forest fires large
65
enough to record. Number of acres burned, estimated 125. Amount of damage estimated $850. Cost to extinguish $67. We have issued 56 fire permits.

We have, during the year 1916, tried to keep the expenses as low as possible and have been able to pay $2,191.61 on interest account, an increase of $326.81 over last year.
We have paid the City of Springfield $2,702.27 for water and received $6,974.96 for rents and meter rentals, an increase of $1,137.55 over the amount received last year.
Laborers have been hard to obtain when we wanted to get them, and wages have advanced 25 per cent while every price list received shows an advance in the price of supplies.
We have on hand enough material for general repair work and connections, to last us about six months.
There were 41 new connections made during the year making a total of 367 services to look after; located as follows :
Precinct A. 183
Precinct B.
192
Precinct C. . 192
No money being available for new mains we did not ex- tend our pipe lines but confined ourselves to service con- nections.
We have had estimates made for several extentions petitioned for and have petitioned the Legislature for per- mission to issue and sell $25,000.00 worth of bonds, the pro- ceeds to be used for construction work.
We hope to have this amount to use during the year 1917.

Report of School Committee
To the Citizens of Agawam :
We have been able to finish the year within the limit of our appropriations. Our estimate of the budget for next year's School Expense of the Town will be considerably higher than the appropriation last year.
We have found it necessary to raise the pay of teachers in order to be able to retain their services, and we believe it is the desire of the town to employ as good teachers as are employed by other towns in the surrounding district, which requires that we pay equally well.
Our school population has considerably increased during the year, and until the opening of the new school house on the Plains, we were crowded at the three school centers of the town. Since the opening of this school, however, we have been considerably relieved both in Mittineague and Feeding Hills, and although the new school house on the Plains has every seat full in the four rooms provided for class-rooms, we are in good shape both at Mittineague and Feeding Hills to take care of a normal increase this next year. The placing of this school on Springfield Street in this fast growing sec- tion was an excellent idea, and the building was completed just in time to take care of the need for school accommodation in that district.
The situation at Agawam Center, however, is serious. The condition there is such as to necessitate the immediate provision of two more rooms in order to accommodate the increasing school population. How best to make these altera-
74
tions and improvements at Agawam Center is our problem during this coming spring and summer.
The project of taking the Town Hall and dividing it into two school rooms does not seem feasible in that it deprives Agawam Center of a meeting hall and community building, and this program would have the united opposition of all citizens in that part of our town.
The provision of moveable school houses is a very ex- pensive and inadequate proposition, as these moveable schools would take care of this increasing school population only a year or two at best, and it appears far more economical to provide permanent quarters.
We, therefore, need an addition on the Agawam Center building of about the same dimensions as the addition made to that building five years ago. In connection with this new addition it will be necessary to make alterations in the base- ment for new toilet facilities connecting with the sewer. We have included the alteration of these toilet facilities in this building in our yearly budget, but have not included the ex- pense of an addition to the building.
We are passing through the school experience of all towns immediately adjacent to Springfield, the great growth of which is causing a swiftly increasing population in suburban districts. We have been able to take care of this increasing school population during the past few years by meeting the conditions as they arose and providing new additions to build- ings and our new school.
It appears that this is the proper procedure on the part of the town, as it is impossible to forsee just what the needs of the school will be five or ten years from now, and if we were-to lay out a program of large expenditure during the next few years, it might not meet the conditions so satis- factorily as to meet them as they arise from year to year.
In order to properly meet these conditions this next year, the Committee recommends that the town build an addi- tion to the Agawam Center School and make alterations for toilet facilities in that building.

We have carefully considered the matter of providing our own High School for the accommodation of all Agawam children, and find that it does not appear wise to immediately provide these High School accommodations. This is an ex- traordinary year in many ways, and the project of building a new High School and Town Hall this year would add to the burdens of taxpayers an additional twenty-five per cent over and above what the same building would cost us two or three years from now, and it is reasonable to assume that steel prices, building material and labor are not going to stay on the present level indefinitely.
Moreover, there is a wide spread feeling among all of our citizens, whose children are attending Springfield and West Springfield schools, that we are getting first-class high school accommodations at the present time as cheaply as we could provide them in Agawam. Our high school population has considerably increased during the past few years and will likely run from 150 to 200 students two or three years from now, at which time such a building may appear more feasible than at the present time.
The matter of transportation of our children is one of the most expensive and abused propositions which the town undertakes. The transportation of High School students amounts to close to a thousand dollars a year, and the bus transportation to and from our grade schools is one of the big items of our expense. In times gone by there were many years when the town did no transporting of children whatever, and we question seriously whether or not it is a good proposi- tion to undertake the transportation of children to and from . school by bus. It is the disposition of the Committee to cur- tail this transportation as much as possible and save this ex- pense. People having children of school age should be willing to so far cooperate with the town as to put themselves out to walk to and from school, especially when they are at- tending the upper grades. There may be some excuse for carrying children attending the lower and primary grades, but there is no excuse whatever for our paying for transportation

on children in the upper grades. We believe it is a much healthier proposition for our children to walk to and from school. There are many evils in connection with bus trans- portation which are a serious and grevious annoyance to the members of the Committee of Schools and the Superintendent and teachers employed by the town. It is our intention to ultimately draw a reasonable line of radius for eách school center within which the town will not be required to provide transportation.
It has been our earnest effort throughout the year to cultivate and increase a unifying and cooperative feeling on the part of the school children, teachers and citizens of the town in order that we may have the loyal respect and support of our school population, and also the satisfaction of knowing that our school facilities are as good or better than some other towns around us are able to provide.
Believing the proper schooling of our children to be one of the most serious, if not the most important, duties under- taken by the town, we solicit your careful and interested sup- port in the proper administration of our schools.
