HEREOF FAIL NOT.
Dated at Lincoln, this twenty-first day of February, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and six.
CHARLES S. SMITH, EDWARD F. FLINT, ANTHONY J. DOHERTY, Selectmen of Lincoln.
The return on the warrant is as follows:
LINCOLN, March 5, 1906.
I have served this warrant by posting an attested copy therof in each of the Post Offices and in the vestibule of the First Parish Church, seven days before said meeting. JAMES T. LAIRD, Constable of Lincoln .
In accordance to the above Warrant, the meeting was called to order at one o'clock, and after reading the War- rant, and the return thereof, the following votes were passed.
ARTICLE 1. Chose Chas. S. Wheeler, Moderator. (The check list was used.)
ART. 2. After considerable discussion, all of the printed reports were accepted.
REPORT OF THE SIDEWALK COMMITTEE.
March 18, 1905, your committee drove carefully over the road from Farnsworth's Corner to the center of the town making various measurements of the width of the road. We find that the road is very narrow,-too narrow for a permanent sidewalk. The width of the road from the house of Alfred G. Davis to the railroad varies from 22}ft. to 34 ft.
11
From the railroad to the corner near the house of Mrs. Campbell, it varies from 20} ft. to 33 ft. in width. The road from the corner near Mrs. Campbell's house to the house of the late Henry C. Chapin is of ample width-the town owning a highway 50 ft. wide. From the house of the late Henry C. Chapin to the centre of the town the road varies from 27 ft. to 34 ft. in width.
If the town wants a sidewalk from the center of the town to Farnsworth's Corner, your committee would recom- mend-The taking of land where necessary to widen the road to at least 40 ft. The employment of a competent surveyor to lay out the walk, draw up plans and specifi- cations for grading and filling.
The construction of a tar concrete walk 6 ft. wide.
The expense of the tar concrete walk would be about $4,000. Add to this the expense of land damage, filling and grading, the expense would be at least $6,000.
Most of the owners of land near the highway from the centre of the town to Farnsworth's Corner have agreed to sell land to the town at a fair appraised value.

ART. 13. REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON STREET LIGHTS.
The Committee appointed "to investigate the question of lighting the streets with electricity and report to the Town at a subsequent meeting" respectfully report as follows:
There is at present in the Town of Lincoln no plant es- tablished for the public production and distribution of electricity for lighting purposes. Consequently, if the streets are to be lighted by electricity it must be supplied either by some new plant established in the Town or by electri- city acquired from some source outside of the Town.
A plant for the production of electricity might be es- tablished in the Town by private enterprise or as a Town plant. The Committee has found no indication of any desire to establish such a private plant, and therefore, if electricity for street lighting is to be produced within the Town limits, it would seem that it must be a Town plant.
The expense of establishing and equipping and maintain- ing a Town plant for the manufacture of electricity would be such as to make it wholly out of the question if the electricity is to be used only for lighting the streets.
Whether in any case, it would be desirable for a Town like Lincoln to take up the manufacture and distribution of electricity for private use, may be open to some question, but the committee is satisfied that there is no present de- mand for the private use of electricity which would justify any reasonable expectation of such revenue as would war- rant the Town going into this business in connection with street lighting.
There remains then the possibility of obtaining a supply of electricity from some source outside of the Town. In order to make such supply available, it would be necessary to erect and maintain poles and wires in all parts of the Town to be lighted. It is hardly to be supposed that any outside company would go to that expense unless it was obtaining
17
the practically exclusive privilege to furnish electric light throughout the Town, and the sale of electricity for private use would probably be the main inducement to such company. The Committee is, therefore, of the opinion that it would be unwise to take up the matter with any outside company solely on the basis of street lighting.
Possibly the Town might itself erect and maintain poľes and wires which would connect at the Town boundary with the outside company furnishing the supply of electricity, but this seems merely an indirect method of starting the Town in the lighting business. The Town would have to maintain and keep in repair such poles and wires, with the consequent liability of danger from accidents.
It would place on the Town not only the cost of the first construction, but a steady expense for maintenance and inspection and possible liability for damage which seems to the Committee unwise to undertake at the present time.
It seems to the Committee that the lighting of the street by the Town cannot be advantageously taken up except in connection with a comprehensive plan for furnishing electric light for private use.
As the Committee was not empowered to investigate or report on that subject, it has made no full investigation théreof; but in so far as that subject has come under its con- sideration in connection with the matter of public lighting there has not been brought to the attention of the Com- inittee any general demand for the introduction of electric light for private use.
Whether or not there is any general demand for electric light at the present time, the Committee is unable to say, but if such demand exists it has not been brought to the Committee's attention.
C. F. EVELETH, H. E. WARNER, GEORGE A. GRAVES.
18
Report of the Committee accepted.
Voted, That the same Committee be continued and em- powered to investigate the advisability of the introduction of electric lighting for public and private uses.
ART. 14. Voted, That the School Committee is requested to prepare and submit to a future Town Meeting a proposi- tion for the erection of a new School House in the center of the Town and to suggest a location therefor.
The Committee is instructed to take no action under this vote until the end of the present school year.
ART. 15. Passed over the article.
ART. 16. Passed over the article.
ART. 17. Voted to lay on the table.
ART. 18 Voted, To instruct the Tree Warden to canvass the entire Town to discover the gypsy and brown tail moths and that the expense be paid by the Town.
ART. 19. Voted, That the whole matter be left to a Committee consisting of-
Moorfield Storey, E. Irving Smith, Anthony J. Doherty.
ART. 20. Voted, That the Committee appointed under Articles 19 and 20 of the Warrant for the annual Town Meeting of March, 1905, be continued for the coming year.
Voted, That Article 20 of the Warrant be referred to a Special Committee of Three to be appointed by the Mod- erator and the said Committee be instructed to bring to the notice of the Committee provided in the foregoing vote any facts or matter of interest in relation to the 150th Anni-
19
versary either to report the same to a future Town Meeting or take such action in the premises as in the judgment of the two Committees or either of them, may seem appropriate and desirable.
Committee appointed :
Wallace M. Brooks, Ann E. Weston, E. Irving Smith.
ART. 21. Voted, That the Water Commissioners be in- structed to extend the water pipe from its present terminus opposite Chas. S. Wheeler's Avenue to the State Road op- posite James A. Butcher's; and that the expense thereof be paid from money in the Town Treasury, pending an issue of bonds.
ART. 22. Voted, That the Town instruct the Town Officials who have charge of the Town teams not to engage in the business of general teaming.
