SECT. 2. This act shall take effect on the first day of January in the year nineteen hundred and eight."
It will be necessary for the Town to make a change in its method of election of assessors. If we elect, as heretofore, three assessors, one must be elected for one year, one for two years and one for three years and thereafter one for a term of three years each year.
Bequests.
The Town has received during the past year a part of the bequest of Mrs. Abbie J. Stearns, amounting to $2,500.00; $1,000.00 of which was for the benefit of the library; $1,000.00 to be held as a silent poor fund, and $500.00 for the purchase
54
of a new hearse. These sums are now in the hands of the Trust Commissioners and their disposition of the same will be found in their report.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES S. SMITH, C. LEE TODD, R. D. DONALDSON. Selectmen of Lincoln.

Report of the Fire Engineers.
To the Board of Selectmen :-
GENTLEMEN :- The Board of Fire Engineers submit the following report :-
With the extension of the water system to North Lincoln . it was thought best to establish a Hose Company in that part of the Town, the carriage that had been in South Lincoln was transferred there and a company organized to care for it.
There being no suitable place to house the carriage it became necessary to build a house, which has been done on Mr. Dee's land and suitable arrangements have been made with him for the use of said land.
A provisional carriage has been secured for the Company in South Lincoln at small expense to the Town.
The appropriation has been mostly expended in providing the house at North Lincoln, for new hose and other appli- ances needed to successfully fight any fires that may occur in the future.
We are glad to report that the department has not been called upon to fight any serious fire in Town the past year, but the Company in North Lincoln was called out for the fire at Mr. Goodell's, just over the line in Concord, they did good service and were highly commended by the chief of the Fire Department of Concord, and they also received a very com- plimentary letter from Mr. Goodell, whose house was saved by their efforts.
We feel that we have done as well as we could under the circumstances, but there is need of great improvement in
58
the department and we hope that the Town will make a further appropriation, sufficient to secure such appliances as will tend to make the department more efficient.
A list of the articles purchased by the department will be found in the Auditor's Report.

Report of the Superintendent of Streets.
To the Board of Selectmen:
GENTLEMEN :- Having completed the year as Superinten- dent of Streets, I submit the following report :-
When I took charge of the department at the beginning of the year, the horses were at Mr. Roger Sherman's, where they had been kept for nearly a year.
Mr. Sherman consented to board the horses for two weeks to allow me to make other arrangements for their care.
I tried to find some suitable place where they could be boarded, but being unable to do so, the barn on the Bent Estate was hired, and the horses have been there since they were taken from Mr. Sherman's barn at the expiration of the two weeks he agreed to keep them. The Town was charg- ed for this time $5.00 per horse per week, which amounted to $60.00.
Mr. Johnson has been employed to take care of the teams as well as to work for the department and has been paid $15.00 per week for all serivces and has been kept constantly at work.
Reckoning in the rent of the barn, a part of Mr. Johnson's wages, and allowing for the hay now in the barn, it has cost about $3.37 per week each for the board of the horses, they have been well fed and well cared for as their appearance will show.
The horse that was condemned last March has worked until late in the Fall, but has been idle all winter, he has been treated
60
by a surgeon but will not, in my opinion, be of much value in the future to this department.
While the appropriation this year was the same as last, the increase in wages had the effect of reducing it about $500.00.
About 8,000 feet of stone road has been built this year and an equal amount of gravel road, beside a large amount of broken stone has been used in filling ruts and holes.
Two corners on the Trunpike, one near the house of Mr. L. E. Brooks and one near the stone crusher were so abrupt as to be almost dangerous but have been cut off and widened so that they are now safe and convenient for travel.
2,415 feet of guard fence have been put up in places where needed.
330 feet of pipe culverts have been laid.
Lee's Bridge in Lincoln has been wholly replanked with 3 inch hard pine plank and some timbers put in where needed.
Several new guide boards have been put up. A large quantity of brush has been cut and disposed of in different parts of the Town.
Many large boulders in the north part of the Town that were too near the travelled way have been drilled and blasted so as to make the roads safer for travel.
Owing to the fact that a woman was killed in Concord in Walden Woods by an automobile running into a telephone pole, I ordered several poles moved to a safer distance from the road, which the Telephone Company very willingly did.
The above, together with scraping and street cleaning, com- prises the work done by the Highway Department for the year
The constantly increasing travel of automobiles, which have already made deep ruts in some of our best roads, the unusual extensions of the water works, which have disturbed the roads, in spite of the care taken to avoid doing so and the frequent freezing and thawing the past winter, have left the roads in such condition that extra repairs will be necessary the coming year.
61
The problem of securing stone for the crusher is beginning to be a serious one as the owners do not care to dispose of their old walls nor to allow teams to travel over their fields and some even object to having the stones picked up along the roadside.
The capacity of the crusher is upwards of 75 tons per day, and to gather that amount of stone requires considerable labor for men and teams. The price paid for stone has been 35 cents per ton, delivered at the crusher and the price paid for stone hauled by the Town teams has been from 30 cents to 50 cents per load, depending on the distance to be hauled and the convenience of loading; these loads have varied from 4,000 to 5,000 pounds.
Estimating stone delivered at the crusher at 35 cents per ton and the cost of crushing at not less than 25 cents, a team could haul no more than six tons from the crusher to the South Great Road, which would make the stone cost, delivered about $1.45 per ton; this would be practically the cost of stone bought on the cars.
Repairs must be made on the South Great Road and on the Sherman Road (so-called) the coming year, but in my judgment, the roads near the present site of the crusher should be put in good condition as soon as possible and the crusher moved to some suitable ledge in the South part of the Town.
I found in connection with the crusher plant, a horse roller, which I considered almost worthless for the reasons that it requires four horses to draw it just at the time they are needed to haul material and that they pick up the stones faster than the roller can put them down. In order to use broken stone to advantage it is necessary that it be rolled when in place with a steam roller, a roller can be rented but the cost would be about $15.00 per day, which price is prohibitive.
If the Town owned a roller it could undoubtedly be rented to roll drive ways, etc., from which some income could be de- rived, in fact, inquiries were made for a roller for such use during the past season.
62
Gravelled roads ean be made better and much quicker by the use of a scraper and steam roller than by the old method, and I would recommend the purchase of a steam roller that will weigh about ten tons at an estimated cost of between $2,500 and $3,000.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN F. FARRAR, Supt. of Streets.
