Report of Supt. of Streets.
To the Board of Selectmen of the Town of Lincoln,
GENTLEMEN :-
Having completed a year as your appointee as Supt. of Streets, I desire to make the following report.
During the year all the roads of the Town have received my personal attention, and so far as the appropriation would allow, have been repaired and put in good order. Consid- erable work has been done in clearing the sides of the nar- row roads, and in making gutters and sidewalks.
In addition to this, the teams have been kept busy when not required for work on the highways, by work for other departments of the Town, and for private citizens.
Repairs to carts and the addition of some tools have kept the property of the Town in this department in good con- dition.
The six horses which the Town own are in good condi- tion, have done their work well, and are able to continue to do all that may be required of them for the immediate future.
The broken stone bought in the Fall of 1903 and stored was distributed early in the Spring about the Town, where needed with very satisfactory results. Lee's Bridge has been replanked and otherwise repaired, and still further repairs will be needed the coming year. Guard rails have been put up at the side of a number of the roads in locali- ties where needed. The Guide Posts are in very good con- dition, a number of them having been reset or replaced by new ones.
130
Owing to the scarcity of good gravel in town, I would recommend the purchase by the Town of a Stone Crusher, which would provide material for good roads, at less cost than when purchased on the cars.
No accidents have occurred to any of the men working in gravel banks, and as far as I have been able to learn there have been no accidents on the highways.
The cost of snow-work done this year amounting to $693.77 and taken from the contingent fund, together with the amount of $396.40 paid for broken stone and taken from a special appropriation will reduce the amount expended on the highways to $4397.35. The amount earned by the de- partment is $1,397.44; $600.38 having been earned from other departments of the Town and $797.06 from outside sources.'
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN F. FARRAR, Supt. of Streets.
131
Report of Overseers of Poor.
The Overseers of the Poor submit the following report for the year ending Jan. 31, 1905.
During the past year there have been several applications for aid made to the board, but upon investigation it was found that in all of the cases the Town was in no way liable, and therefore the cases were disposed of without any ex- pense to the Town.
By a recent act of the Legislature the State has taken charge of all persons in insane hospitals, and has thus re- lieved the Town from having to provide for their care by direct taxation as in the past, payment being now made and included in the Town's proportion of the State Tax.
The tramps have been cared for by Mr. H. G. Farrar at an expense to the Town of $100.

Report of the Committee on Claims.
No new litigation has been begun during the past year ; and no controversies to which the Town is a party have been referred to the Committee for adjustment. The only cases remaining from the large number which the Committee has had in charge since it was organized, now unsettled, are the petition for the re-adjustment of the land damages for re- locating the County road near the house of Francis Smith, and a petition, which has been long pending before the Superior Court, for the adjustment of damages occasioned by the taking of land from Francis Smith by the Water Commissioners for an extension to the pumping station lot. Nothing has been done on these cases during the last year.
The Town voted last March that the Committee should secure the approval of a by-law amendment relating to the Comptroller of the Water Works. At the time the vote was passed, all by-laws were required to be referred to the Su- perior Court for approval; since then a change has been made in the law so that approval by the Attorney-General is in such cases sufficient. Upon advice of counsel we have delayed submitting this additional by-law to the Attorney- General for approval, as it has been suggested by various boards, officers and citizens of the Town that other changes in the present code of by-laws are advisable. Such being the case, it has seemed wise to delay the presentation of an isolated change until such time as the Town has decided upon all changes contemplated. Obviously, a patchwork code of by-laws is undesirable. In the mean time, the Town can continue, without the formal adoption of a by-law, to manage the water works in the same way they are now
133 .
managed by again passing the vote passed a year ago. We, therefore, recommend that the votes passed at the adjourned annual meeting of 1904 with respect to the appointment, functions and authority of a Comptroller and the manage- ment of the water works, be re-enacted. The proper articles looking to such action should be inserted in the warrant for the coming annual town meeting.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
CHARLES F. ADAMS, M. STOREY, JULIUS E. EVELETH, Committee on Claims.
Boston, Jan. 6, 1905.

Report of the Board of Health.
The Board of Health has the honor of presenting its tenth annual report to the inhabitants of the Town of Lin- coln.
The Town has again had a year of comparative freedom from contagious or infectious diseases. The few cases of Scarlet Fever have been of a very mild type and have not spread beyond the immediate families in which they first appeared, and the single case of Typhoid Fever was con- tracted outside the limits of the Town. Formaldehyde is used for disinfecting after each contagious case.
Early in the year the Board found that certain horses were infected with Glanders, and immediately measures were taken to prevent the spread of this disease. As Glanders is one of the infectious diseases of the horse which may be communicated to man, often with serious results, any suspicious discharge from the nostril of the horse should be carefully watched.
The sanitary condition of some of the schools is in an unhealthy state and we would urge that sufficient money be appropriated to enable the School Committee to make needed changes.
