BOARD OF SELECTMEN 1979

During the year our routine business was expanded with theappointment of new offices, mostly State and Federal request-ed, such as a Liason Officer to the Census Bureau, HousingChairman, Energy Chairman, Human Services Chairman, Othertime consuming projects were bus shelters, undergroundgasoline storage permits, continued dog shelter search, theadvisability of creating a Department of Public Works, involv-ment in County Purchasing and a DPU survey for speed limitsigns

.

The School Zone lights requested by the School Dept. for manyyears have been erected for use in the near future. Thedepleted 1961 highway truck was replaced by a new one.Selectmen and the Board of Health received a State mandateto close the dump on July 1, 1980. The Board of Health isinvestigating methods of solid waste disposal.

The Highway Department reports the past winter season a20 inch below normal snow accumulation. There were 22 stormswith total accumulation of 51 inches. Six of these stormsturned to freezing rain and 7 turned to rain before ending. Wehad 4 freezing rainstorms and 3 very heavy rain storms. Plowswere sent out 16 times and sanders, 28 times. The severity ofthe ice storms are reflected in amounts of salt, 264 tons,and sand, 4,600 tons used.

During the summer session all routine maintenance was com-pleted. Some adjustments were made to fit our work aroundSewer Project road repairs. By expending $10,000. of ourmaintenance money all roads in the centers of both Villageswere black topped in conjunction with black topping done by thesewer contractors. Construction project on Mountain St., cameto a halt with the exception of tree cutting there until wereceive more State funding.

By adjusting our priorities on all permanant work, constructionand reconstruction projects and economizing wherever and when-ever possible, we have been able to hold the budget to onlya 4% increase.

It is obvious that the workload of all major Town Departmentshave increased and with the new sewer department, too, thereare many evenings when three or more groups are using theTown Office at one time. Additional office space is needed toconduct our business.

Richard L. Childs, ChairmanJeanne E. Hemenway, ClerkHans L. Nietsche

1979 CONSERVATION COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT

The Conservation Commission hold regular meetings, open to

the public, on the second Thursday of each month at 7:30 at

the Town Office in Haydenville.

This year, due to our involvement with the Sewer Project,

we spent considerable time viewing sites for which residents

had reguested fill available from the sewer construction.

Also, dealing with the Sewer Project, we held one official

Wetlands Protection Hearing and issued a permit, and moni-

tored the construction of sewer lines at river crossings.

The Sewer Project was granted a one year extension on their

original date of completion for the project.

Several logging operation sites were viewed where river

crossings were involved, and determinations were made con-

cerning the method of crossing those rivers.

The Commission had applications pertaining to the Agricul-

tural Preservation Restriction Act under Chapter 780 of the

Acts of 1977. Two local farms submitted applications in 1979

with responses pending.

The Commission has the latest revisions of the Wetlands

Protection Act and has copies available for town residents.

Respectfully submitted,

Erwin Cepek, Chairman

REPORT OF THE FIRE CHIEF

The fire department answered a total of forty-three calls

during 1979. These calls were; 13 vehicle accidents and fires,

9 chimney, 8 grass and woodland, 3 dump, 2 false alarms,

1 building, 1 mutual aid and 5 misc. Forty-four permits were

issued for open burning, and the "self-help" pumps were used

by twenty residents.

Five firefighters participated in the Hampshire County

Fire Defense Association Firefighting School held on 6 Sundays

throughout the summer in various Hampshire County towns.

Practice, work sessions, or meetings are held one night each

week throughout the year in our Fire Stations. Additional infor-

mation and training is available from the Hampshire County Fire

Defense Association Film Library housed in the Northampton

Fire Station.

It appears to me as Fire Chief that our eguipment is in

good condition with the exception of the tank truck housed in

the Haydenville Station. Although it runs well, it is a 1964

truck which was driven many miles as an oil tank truck. It

lacks a suitable pump, hose and equipment carry capability,

and other features necessary for an efficient fire fighting

tank truck.

The tax payers must be aware that in order to hold the

budget at a low increase, we must sacrifice the amounts of

equipment purchased to keep up with and move ahead in in fire-

fighting techniques.

I thank the firefighters for their dedication to the Fire

Department and their time spent in firefighter training, and

maintaining and repairing the equipment and buildings. Thank

you especially to Donald and Joan Baldwin, our dispatchers, for

helping make our firefighting responses and everyday business

the efficient system that it is.

Respectfully submitted;

Roger Bisbee, Fire Chief

HAYDENVILLE LIBRARY REPORT

The Haydenville Library has had a very successfulyear, due in great part to community support and interest.Thanks are due also to our librarian, Kathleen Sanford, whohas done much to make the library an attractive and worth-while place to visit.

During the year demonstrations and exhibits were heldby local artists and craftsmen, and seasonal programs werearranged by the Girl Scouts and their leaders. A food sale washeld by friends of the library.

Work continued on the outside of the building, replacingweather-worn siding and cornices. A second coat of paint willbe needed in the Spring.

BOARD OF HEALTH REPORT 1979

After the appropriate inspections were made the follow-ing permits were issued: 6 store permits, 2 septic handlerspermits, 2 bakery permits, 2 restaurant permits, 1 ice creamstand permit, 1 nursing home permit, 1 rest home permit & 1funreal home permit. Mr. Henry Warner was re-appointedanimal inspector. Mr. Benjamin Willcutt was re-appointedplumbing inspector.

The Board of Health condemmed 2 buildings this past yearfor not meeting the State Sanitary Code. The Board workedwith several townspeople concerning septic problems andanswered numerous questions concerning various aspects of theState Sanitary Codes.

There was continued effort placed on health promotion andeducation. Ninety six blood pressure readings were taken byvolunteer registered nurses at the Mardi Gras. Other CPRcourses were given, however we have had difficulty in settingup further CPR courses in town. Townspeople interested inCPR courses are urged to contact the Red Cross Chapter Housein Northampton. Forty three flu shots were given to towns-people at an immunization clinic held at the Council on Aging.We have made numerous educational pamphlets available to thetownspeople.

Heavy emphasis was placed on the future of our presentlandfill (the Mountain St. Dump). The Board has workedclosely with members of the Comm. of Mass.' EnvironmentalQuality Eng. Dept. We are looking into a transfer system,emphasizing recycling of glass, paper and metal.

With the present inflation rate climbing each month, theBoard is looking into ways to keep our budget down withoutcompromizing services.

The Board continues to meet the fourth Wednesday of eachmonth at 8:00 P.M. Meetings of special importance to towns-people are announced in the Gazette. All Board of Healthmeetings are open to the public, and citizen participation isencouraged.

WILLIAMSBURG HISTORICAL COMMISSION

REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1979

Early in the year of 1979 the Commission lost a member who

had been appointed to the first commission in the Town, Marjorie

McKusick. Her enthusiasm and interest are missed.

A new member was appointed who brings architectural know-

ledge and a fresh view of the area, Mrs. Karl Lehmann (Phyllis).

We have had four formal meetings of the three commission-

ers to determine the further work needed in inventorying the

buildings of the area. One member has regularly attended the

meetings of the Development Committee which have been consider-

ing the future of the Brass Works.

A great deal of detail is involved in making the inventor-

ies that does not appear on paper as hours and trips but which

each m
