Honorable Board of Selectmen:


Gentlemen:


Having concentrated our efforts on the Gypsy Moth, we have checked this insect pest from a dreaded scourge to a local nuisance. However, we are troubled with other pests.


The Tent Caterpillar, Fall Webworm, and Elm Tree Beetle are another problem. At this date, we are in danger of losing our Elm trees due to the Dutch Elm disease which is being carried about by the Elm Tree Beetle. Present plans call for extensive spraying of the Tent Caterpillar and Web-worm. Plans are also being laid out to use the D.D.T. spray on the Elm Beetle.


By using these methods and sprays, we hope to check these pests, particularly the Elm Tree Beetle.


Respectfully submitted,

The return of 1200 young men and women who en- tered the army, navy, air forces and their auxiliary serv- ices in World War II and their adjustment to civilian life and the change which this has made for all our citi- zens in their vocations and way of life gives little oppor- tunity to measure future financial needs. We endeavor to supply, as far as our funds permit, the needs of our citizens for books of fiction, non-fiction, history, both for adults and children, as well as up-to-date books cover- ing the wide field of vocations in which our citizens are now or hope to be engaged, and which we feel sure will assist all those who are seeking to improve their knowl- edge and worth to themselves and the community. We sincerely wish our facilities to be made use of by our citizens and will greatly appreciate their suggestions, not only as to books they would like us to purchase, but also toward the improvement of our service. We believe that with this help and our present facilities we may be of still greater use to our people, our schools and our industries.


75


We receive at times from public-minded citizens donations which our trustees invest as a trust fund in the name of the donor, the income only to be used for the purchase of books or for library expenses. The total of these funds is growing slowly, but the income in re- cent years has been low, as the funds are deposited in Massachusetts savings banks and the rates of interest have been greatly reduced during the war years. We hope our citizens who are able and wish to help will establish such funds with the assurance that whether large or small they will assist all those who now reside in Palmer and all future residents as well. Such trust funds may be small in amount at first, but may be added to at the will of the donor.


We are in need of new stacks for the proper handling of our books, and when the opportunity for their pur- chase again arrives we expect to install them in the available space in the stack room of the library, to give much better access to our books by all who use them.


It has become necessary to increase the amounts we have been paying for the services of our assistant librarians, two in the main library at Palmer, and one each at our branches in the three villages. For the janitor in the Library building, who attends to our heating, takes care of the walks and grounds as well as the daily care of the library rooms and necessary minor repairs, we find it necessary to increase the amount paid for this service.


The rate of income for trust funds has declined from 4% to about 2% during the war years, and if we are to continue to purchase new books, magazines and papers for our borrowers, who now number 2935 of our citizens, we find it necessary to request an appropriation of $4,000 for 1947.

Report of Park Commissioners


To the Selectmen and Citizens of Palmer :


The Park Commissioners herewith present their re- port for the year ending December 31, 1946:


Throughout the year people of all parts of the town, in steadily increasing numbers have made use of the town's parks and enjoyed the limited facilities which we have been able to provide. Attendance at Legion Field for baseball, softball and football games this year was well in excess of 150,000, and while no detailed figures are available to show the attendance at Eager Play- ground and at Burleigh Park, the total is undoubtedly much higher than in previous years.


Legion Field, which is the envy of all the out-of- town groups who visit it, has been maintained and in many ways improved. A considerable amount of work was necessary in the early Spring to repair the damage to the turf resulting from the previous football season and a similar amount will be required this year to main- tain the field in good condition. The Commissioners also plan to relocate the Number 2 diamond, making it usable for either baseball or softball, in order to avoid some of the conflicts which arose last season with only one regular baseball diamond available. For the first time since the beginning of the war the second series of tennis


78


courts was made ready for play, and all six courts will be in use in 1947. One court is being resurfaced with a new type of clay, which is expected to prove more satis- factory. Resurfacing of the others will follow if the first works out well.


The skating rinks have again proved very popular and have been in constant use since before the Christ- mas vacation. Both courts were flooded this year, and have drawn skaters from all over the town. The Com- missioners express their thanks to Merrill L. Simonds post, American Legion, for the loan of the floodlights at the rink.


Eager Playground also has provided a safe play area for more of the children of the town than ever before. The present equipment has been extensively used and has been maintained in good condition. A children's merry- go-round, purchased last year, arrived too late to be set up in 1946, but will be erected at the playground as early in 1947 as weather conditions permit.


Burleigh Park has been extensively developed during the year. A new concrete dam and spillway has been built, forming a large swimming pool which was maintained all summer at a safe depth. One side of the pool was graded to form a beach, and the constant flow of Burleigh Brook assures clean water. The pool has proved very popular, and as Burleigh Park is easily reached from all the four villages, it is expected that the coming season will bring children and their parents there in still greater numbers in 1947. A caretaker was employed at Burleigh Park during the summer season and a considerable area, which had become grown over with brush and weeds, was reclaimed. The Commis- sioners plan to continue the reclamation and develop- ment of Burleigh Park as rapidly as available funds will allow.


79


The Commissioners again wish to express their appreciation of the ability and faithful service of our caretaker, Carmine Russo, and the cooperation of the townspeople, which has been excellent throughout the year.
