ROAD COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.


The roads of the town, last spring, were in unusually bad condition, owing, to a considerable extent, to the open winter, and the excessive rainfall.


We do not propose to enter into a dissertation on road build- ing, but a few suggestions may be appropriate.


It is a serious question for the town, and future road commis- sioners, to consider whether an excessive use of the road scraper will not be money wasted, and result in a permanent injury to the roads, because, every year, more and more worn out material is being constantly added to them, making the road bed either dust or mud, neither of which should exist in a well constructed road. We think the true policy of the town to be, to put in the hands of the commissioners a sum sufficient to enable them to have a con- stant supervision of the roads, with money enough to make needed repairs when labor can be more easily obtained, and at a cheaper price than in the spring or summer, it would enable them to make needed and permanent repairs, like filling such places with the accumulated stone at the several gravel banks, and make a lasting improvement, which could not well be done in the busy season of the year. It is very desirable for the comfort of those who have occasion to pass over the roads that the small stone should all be removed, and it is an indispensible requisite in a good roadway that the water courses should be kept open ; every one realizes what a saving of money it would be, and how much the roads would be improved if these little matters could be attended to at the proper time.


When Lee's bridge was rebuilt, it was found necessary to build a substantial stone-wall for some distance from it. Mr. Sherman is now engaged in hauling stone for that purpose, which he will be enabled to do from the money saved from his part of the town appropriation, and at a saving to the town by doing it at this time.


28


It is required of towns that they shall make their roads safe and convenient for public travel ; the financial condition of the town warrants a liberal appropriation for that purpose ; good roads add to the value of property, and the town gets credit for them, and we believe the money granted last year to have been judiciously expended.

REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS OF THE TOWN OF LINCOLN FOR THE YEAR ENDING JANUARY 1, 1891.


The importance of having a supply of pure water is rapidly gaining ground in the community at large, and this town may consider itself fortunate in having a supply which can never be polluted or contaminated, being so elevated that no streams can run into it ; purely a body of spring water.


We are pleased to report a continued increase in the number of faucets.


Two years ago the Town voted to loan the Commissioners for repairs, which were much needed, the sum of five hundred dollars. Two hundred of the same has been refunded, and we expect to be able to pay the balance the coming year. Last year the Town voted the sum of sixteen hundred dollars to extend the water- pipes in the south part of the Town. The contract was awarded M. L. Hatch of Concord, for the sum of fifteen hundred and seventy-one dollars and forty-five cents. The work was completed according to contract and specification.


The rates received on this new extension amount to about onc hundred and twenty-five dollars yearly.


L. W. WESTON, Chairman.
