SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Schoolhouse Plan.
According to a vote of the town the Selectmen were directed to pay $400 for plans for a Schoolhouse, ordered · by a Special Committee in 1897. We respectfully suggest that as large sums of money are spent in investigating mat- ters upon which the town takes no further action, that in future, when special or other committees are instructed to investigate any subject, they shall be allowed some specific sum for the expense of such investigation, and shall not be authorized to expend money in the absence of such appro- priation.
State Aid.
The town has only, at present, one beneficiary under the State Aid act, receiving the sum of $4.00 monthly.
New Highway.
The new highway on the Weston Road, ordered by the town, has been completed to the satisfaction of the Select- men.
Telephones.
The N. E. Telephone & Telegraph Co. have been granted some relocations, involving minor changes in existing lines.
The only new location granted has been a line from the centre of the town to the residence of Mr. C. H. Trask, Jr., which, at the writing of this report, is not completed.
Tree Warden.
Chapter 330 of the Acts of 1899 makes it compulsory that the town elect annually a Tree Warden, who, under this
34
statute, takes over essentially the duties hitherto exercised by the Public Improvement Committee, with more definite authority.
Water Construction.
The town has up to this time instructed the Selectmen to pay all bills for water construction until such time as the Water Board might issue bonds (the proceeds of which should properly pay for such construction), when the town treasury should be reimbursed. As the debt for construc- tion now approximates the sum of $10,000, which is a proper amount for an issue of bonds. it is for the town to consider whether they will authorize the issue of a suffi- cient amount of bonds to reimburse the Town Treasurer, thereby reducing the amount necessary to be raised by tax- ation the coming year, or, as the bills are all paid, whether they will, by taking no action in the matter, keep down the debt of the town and its annual interest charges.
Contingent Fund.
This has proved of great assistance to the Selectmen in allowing them to pay certain legitimate bills of the town, which could not have been done otherwise without special authority, which would have caused delay and inconven- ience to those to whom the money was justly due.
New Road.
In the Report of the Commissioners of the County of Middlesex the following is reported concerning the Town of Lincoln, which we print verbatim:
LINCOLN.
(70.) This petition for alterations of the county road, from Nine Acre corner through the southerly part of Lin- coln to the Waltham line, is still on the list. Some of the residents at Nine Acre corner in Concord have requested the board to examine the portion of the road near that lo-
35
cality, which has been done, and the attention of the authorities of Lincoln has been called to the conditions ex- isting.
(269.) (272.) (281.) (301.) Of these petitions, the first was dismissed at the request of the petitioners last year. There was immediately substituted for it (281), asking for a reloca- tion of the road from Concord to Lincoln by Sandy pond. (272) is the petition of D. H. Sherman and others, asking for a relocation of the portion of the road from Lincoln to Wal- tham, the two petitions (272) and (281) covering the road from the Waltham line to the Concord line. Plans had been prepared after view and hearing last year, and in April the relocations were adjudged of common conven- ience and necessity, and location hearings held June 5, 1899. when the proposed relocations were shown by plans and an opportunity given for discussing the same. As one feature of the relocation, a considerable change of the direction and alignment of the old road was proposed from near the Ells- worth property to near the houses of Wheelwright and Storey. After the hearing, at which many opinions were advanced as to the feasibility and desirability of the various changes, a new petition (301) was received and filed in due form, asking for a new highway over the portion of the road to which reference has just been made. After view and hearing, the location was adjudged of common conven- ience and necessity, and location hearing was held October 19, when the new route was presented in detail, and No- vember 11 return was made laying out the road fifty (50) feet wide. Eighteen feet is to be built for travel; the grade is not to exceed four feet in a hundred. The time set for the completion is June 1, 1900. Damages were awarded as follows :-
Greenville H. Norcross (eighty-two dollars), $82 00
Andrew C. Wheelwright (eight dollars), 8 00
Frank M. Dempsey (one hundred sixty-four dollars), 164 00 Michael Dempsey (fifty dollars), 50 00
36
Andrew J. Dougherty (one hundred eighty-two dol- lars),
182 00
Matthew Ellsworth (fourteen dollars), 14 00
$500 00
The county is assessed the sum of $850, which sum is pay- able to the town when all claims for damages are settled and the road completed to the acceptance of the Commis- sioners.
Under the petitions (272) and (281), the relocation of the remainder of the road will be made, and when the lines are marked upon the ground and description prepared, return will be made.
The order mentioned is in the hands of the Selectmen.
WILLIAM S. BRIGGS, JOHN F. FARRAR, CHARLES S. SMITH, Selectmen of Lincoln.
37
Report of the Overseers of the Poor.
But little is to be said except to congratulate the town on the remarkably small amount (compared to neighboring towns) which we are called upon to pay for the support of the poor. The number of paupers at present is only five, all in insane hospitals.
Tramps have been cared for during the year by Mr. John F. Farrar, he being the lowest bidder in the sum of $100.00.
We have been called upon for temporary assistance in only two cases, at an expense to the town of about $50.00, for which we shall probably be reimbursed by the State.
