Report of Chief of Police
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Palmer, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen :
The annual report of the police department for the year end- ing December 31, 1959 is respectfully submitted.
During the year 409 complaints were prosecuted in the Dis- trict Court of Eastern Hampden against 330 males and 17 females. Ten delinquent complaints were issued against juveniles.
Our motor patrols covered 69,803 miles. The additional cruiser has provided efficient coverage in the outlying areas and especially in the villages during the early morning hours.
Two persons were killed in Palmer during 1959, sixty-five persons suffered personal injuries as a result of motor vehicle accidents.
Our permanent personnel was increased by the appointments of Clifford L. Ellithorpe, Daniel A. Janulewicz, Harold L. Olson and Joseph A. Zebrowski as permanent patrolmen. These men have performed their duties in a satisfactory manner.
Due to a recent federal decision it is necessary to purchase new radio equipment which must be in service by January 31, 1961. An article has been inserted in the town warrant to enable appropriate action to be taken. It is possible Civilian Defense Funds will be made available to assist in defraying the cost of this equipment.
The cruisers should be replaced by new vehicles as the operation of a cruiser the second year has usually proven very expensive. The cost for operating a cruiser the third year is prohibitive.
I recommend creation of an additional superior officer, pre- ferably a sergeant, and that an examination be held in the near future to fill the position. I also recommend increasing the number of permanent patrolmen by two.
I wish to thank the officers for being attentive to their duties and for carrying out their assignments in a creditable manner.
To your Honorable Board I express my appreciation for your cooperation as well as for the many kindnesses extended to me and the department members.
Respectfully yours,
JAMES F. DONAHUE Chief of Police

Report of Park Commissioners
During the year our public parks and playgrounds have been maintained in excellent condition and as usual have provided recreational facilities for a large number of our townspeople. The increasing number of Little Leaguers, as well as those who use the diamonds and football field and the chilldren who use the playgrounds in each of the four villages indicate an ever- growing need for well-equipped recreational space. It is hoped to add new equipment in the coming year in order to improve the facilities we have.
Though freezing weather came late this year, we have been able to provide good skating at Legion Field with one rink re- served for general skating and the other available for hockey.
Our mechanical equipment has been kept in good shape and we do not anticipate any major replacement this coming year. Appropriation for 1959

Honorable Board of Selectmen
Town of Palmer
Gentlemen :
The past year found the Town free from Gypsy Moth infesta- tions. Scouting for egg clusters and spraying efforts have the pest well under control.
During the year, many requests for the elimination of Poison Ivy and Dogwood Poison were received; these were attended to with good to excellent results obtained. Any request for the sup- pression of this nuisance, 100 feet from any dwelling will be handled.
The requests to reduce the fly and mosquito problem increased during the year. Many marshy and wooded areas were thoroughly sprayed with good results.
Respectfully submitted,
STANLEY J. STRZEMIENSKI Moth Superintendent

Veteran's Service Center
To The Honorable Board Of Selectmen
Town Of Palmer, Massachusetts
Gentlemen :
Ten servicemen reported completing their active duty tour with the armed forces during the past year. Most of them do not qualify for so called G.I. Bill benefits since their service was classified as peacetime service. A bill before Congress may be enacted which will provide for some form of education and training allowances.
