REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN
OF THE
TOWN OF LINCOLN.
The machinery of the Town government has run smoothly during the last year. All departments have worked in har- mony to obtain the best results for the Town. There are several questions of a good deal of importance, some of which present themselves year by year and some of which we have only to meet occasionally.
Finances.
From the Treasurer's Report you will be able to see the present condition of the finances of the Town, which seems to us very satisfactory. The total bonded debt, which amounts to $59,000.00, is entirely for water construction and is being taken care of by the payment, each year, of a $1,000.00 bond and by a sinking fund of sufficient size to retire all the other bonds at naturity, all of which with the annual interest charges, are paid from the net income of the water works.
The funds of the Town were deposited by the Town Treas- urer in the Central National Bank at Boston. This bank was reckoned as financially sound, its stock selling in the market for 35 per cent. premium up to within a few days of its suspension. Unfortunately the Town had at that time, something over $10,000.00 on deposite. 65 per cent. of this deposit has already been paid and it is only a question of time when the remaining 35 per cent. will be paid to the depositors with interest. Therefore, there is no possibility of the Town ultimately losing anything on account of this
1
35
failure, although it has made it rather inconvenient for the Treasurer. No blame can be attached either to the Treas- urer or to any one else, as it was one of those unfortunate occurrences which could not have been anticipated or pro- vided against. The Town is always protected against any loss by the Treasurer's bond. You will notice that the Treasurer has paid, from money in his hands which may be termed a surplus, the amounts charged on account of the construction of the new road in the easterly port of the Town or the "Briggs' Road," so called, and when he shall have collected all amounts now due the Town, the condition of the treasury will be very satisfactory.
Schools.
The schools of the Town are not all that either the School Committee or the citizens could wish, for many reasons. One of the most potent of which, is that we have not ade- quate school accommodation for all of our pupils, more especially those who attend the High School, and have not convenient play-grounds near the school buildings.
The question of the erection of a new school house or school houses has been agitated more or less for a number of years, and we feel confident that it is a question which will have to be seriously considered and acted on by the Town in the near future.
Highways.
At the last March meeting, the Town voted to purchase teams for use on the highways, which was a radical move in the rearrangement and conduct of that department. So far as we have been able to observe or to get information, the experiment has proved entirely successful and we cannot but believe that it was a move in the right direction and should be not only continued but improved by the addition possibly of a one-horse team in addition to the two two- horse teams that were purchased.
36
We were both fortunate and unfortunate in the purchase of the horses. Three horses have proved satisfactory and well worth all that they cost. One did not prove to be useful and was disposed of at a loss of about $50.00. However, the three horses that we have now are well worth what the four cost.
Of course by making a change so radical, it is too much to expect that the best results could be attained the first year but we are confident that it is a move in the right direction.
New Road.
The new road in the easterly part of the Town, built under the petition of William S. Briggs and others, has been built to the satisfaction of the County Commissioners who con- structed said road, the Town having refused to do so, and the Town has paid to the County on account of such con- struction, the sum of $6744.82 besides about $112 for inter- est at 4 per cent. on overdue payments. The Town has also paid Matthew Ellsworth the sum of $300 on account of land damages claimed and has also adjusted land damage of the estate of Michael Dempsey for the sum of $400.00. The other claims for damages on account of construction of said highway, are now unsettled ; that of Frank M. Dempsey and Andrew J. Dougherty. We have endeavored to have these claims settled without court proceedings, but have not yet been successful. However, we feel that it is in the interest of all parties, to have a settlement made if it can be done equitably. After these claims are settled, the total cost of the road to the Town will approximate $8500.00.
Water Works.
The water system has been extended during the past year, as will appear more in detail in the report of the Water Com- missioners. The expense of maintenance has been some- what reduced from former years and would have made a very creditable showing had it not been for the high price paid for fuel.
37
Support of the Poor.
The Town has supported during part of the year, six per- sons, all of whom are in insane hospitals, namely : Mary Craven, Marianne Souza, Jere Burnette, Mary E. Curry, Helen T. Lynah and David Lynah. The two latter have been taken by their families from the asylum, so that the Town now has but four paupers, all of whom are in the insane hospitals. The expense has been somewhat less than previ- ous years. Mr. John F. Farrar has had the care of the tramps at the expense to the Town of $100.00.
All of the other departments of the Town will be reported by the heads of the different departments and will be found in this book, so that it is not necessary that we here refer to them in detail except to say, we believe that they have all been conducted with fidelity and ability,
Election of Town Officers.
Article Second of the warrant for the next annual meeting has been inserted in order that the Town may, if it chooses, make a change in the election of Town Clerk, Selectmen. Assessors and Overseers of the Poor, which we feel will be beneficial. Under the present system there is danger, as any person who has ever held the office of Selectmen or As- sessor can testify, that a complete change in the personnel of the boards might be detrimental to the best interests of the Town. Personally, the Board has no preference in the matter except to say that we believe the public service would be improved by making the change as provided in the act. Following are the sections referred to in the warrant :
Section 335. In towns which vote to accept the provisions of this section or have voted to accept the corresponding provisions of earlier laws, the Town Clerk may, until such acceptance is revoked at a subsequent meeting, be chosen for a term of three years ; and such clerk may also serve as clerk of such officers, boards and departments of the Town as the Town may determine by a vote taken at said meet- ing or at a subsequent meeting.
38
Section 339. A Town may, at an annual meeting, or at a meeting held at least thirty days before the annual meet- ing at which such change is to become operative, vote to elect its Selectmen, Assessors or Overseers of the Poor in the following manner :
If the number fixed by the Town is three, it shall, at the annual meeting when such vote is passed or at the next annual meeting, elect one for the term of one year, one for the term of two years and one for the term of three years ; if the number is five it shall elect one for the term of one year, two for terms of two years and two for terms of three years; if the number is seven, it shall elect two for terms of one year, two for terms of two years, and three for terms of three years; if the number is nine, it shall elect three for terms of one year, three for terms of two years and three for terms of three years, and at each annual meeting thereafter, it shall elect one, two or three for the term of three years as the term of office of one, two or three expires.
If the number of assessors is four, the Town shall elect two assessors for terms of one year and two assessors for terms of two years, and at each annual meeting thereafter it shall elect two assessors to serve for terms of two years.

Report of the Overseers of the Poor.
The overseer of the Poor submit the following report for the year ending January 31, 1903.
The Overseers received notice of the discharge of Helen T. Lynah and David Lynah on June 30 and November 29 respectively. The town is thus relieved of the support of two persons who have been at the Danvers Insane Hospital since May, 1901.
At the present time the following persons are supported by the Town :
Name. Place of Support. Cost per week.
Mary Craven, Westboro Insane Hospital, $3 25
Marianne Souza, Westboro Insane Hospital, 3 25
Jere Burnett, Medfield Insane Hospital, 2 80
Mary E. Curry,
Medfield Insane Hospital. 2 80
The Overseers have received several applications for aid during the year, but all have been disposed of without ex- pense to the Town.
