Cemetery Commissioners' Report
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Palmer:
The Cemetery Commissioners hereby submit their report for the year 1941.
Three hundred and sixty feet of new road have been constructed in Oak Knoll cemetery, a stone top being installed. The drainage project, approved in Washington, failed to materialize, but the drainage on this section of road was cared for under the appropriation.
Eight hundred and fifty feet of roadway in Four Corners cemetery has been excavated and a gravel base installed in preparation for a hardened surface in the future, a much needed improvement.
There has been a material increase in the Perpetual Care fund, but the shrinkage in the interest on the invested funds makes a deposit less than that stated in our by-laws, viz. $200.00, insufficient for the proper care of the average lot.
The Commonwealth has graded the section occu- pied by the deceased patients of the Monson State Hos- pital in Palmer Center cemetery and has placed sub- stantial cement markers at the graves there and in Oak Knoll and Four Corners, where the inmates of that in- stitution are buried.
Ignorance of the severe penalties prescribed for the desecration of cemeteries has led to acts of vandalism in
24
several of our burial grounds ; a lesson may be necessary to stop these crimes against the dead. A cemetery, re- quired by law, is supposed to be a burial place for the dead and not to furnish a passage from one place to an- other nor to be used as a grand stand for a ball game.
A more than 50% dividend has been turned over to the Town Treasurer to reduce the appropriation for the care of cemeteries the coming year.
