| 昭和40年代にはいると横田基地の騒音防止のため、小学校などの防音工事が次々と完成していきます。 | During the decade starting from 1965, in an effort to minimize noise from Yokota Air Base, there was a continuing progression of sound insulation works completed for elementary schools, etc. |
| しかし、戦後も四半世紀を過ぎ、各種の施設整備も急ピッチで進められ、ゆとりある生活を求めた行政が進行していった時代でもあります。 | However, with a quarter of a century elapsed since World War II, the government now turned its attention to lifting the general quality of life through a rapid development of facilities of various types. |
| 上水道施設や歩道橋、町民会館、小学校や保育園等の新設、狭山谷公園プール、福祉会館、図書館、保健センターなどがオープンし、また、道路の舗装や整備、遺跡の発掘調査も進められました。 | New constructions, such as the waterworks, footbridge, town hall, elementary schools and nurseries were undertaken, and the facilities such as the Sayama Valley Park Pool, welfare center, library, and the health center were opened. In addition, paving and maintenance/development of roads, and also excavations of local ruins were pushed forward. |
| 昭和45年には町制施行30周年を迎え、八高線から蒸気機関車が消え、人口が2万人になったのもこの時代のことです。 | In 1970, we celebrated the Town establishment 30th anniversary. During this era, steam locomotives disappeared from the Hachiko Line, and the population now reached 20,000. |
