LINCOLN, Nov. 10, 1906.


I have served this Warrant by posting an attested copy in each of the Post Offices and one in the First Parish Church seven days before the date of said meeting.


JAMES T. LAIRD, Constable of Lincoln.


In accordance with the above Warrant, the meeting was called to order by the Town Clerk and after reading the War- rant, the following votes were passed.


ARTICLE 1. Chose Charles S. Wheeler, Moderator. The Check List was used.


Before Article 2 was taken up, Mr. John E. Farrar an- nounced the death of Mr. Wm. L. Eaton, Principal of Con- cord High School.


By unanimous consent, the following vote was then passed :


Voted that a committee of four, consisting of the follow- ing, viz : Rev. Edward E. Bradley, Thomas L. Giles, Anthony J. Doherty, and Julius E. Eveleth be appointed to draw a


-


38


set of resolutions, expressing the sentiments of the Town, in relation to the death of Mr. Wm. L. Eaton, Principal of the Concord High School, and that a copy of these resolu- tions be placed on the Town Records, and another copy be sent to the family of the deceased.


The following is a copy of the letter sent to Mrs. Eaton by the Committee:


LINCOLN, MASS., Nov. 20, 1906.


Mrs. William L. Eaton,


Concord, Mass.


Dear Mrs. Eaton :----


The sad news of your great bereavement and the in- estimable loss to a large community were made the theme of public condolence at a meeting of the citizens of Lincoln on Monday evening last. While Mr. Eaton was more closely identified with Concord in an official and neighborly way, it seemed fitting that Lincoln, through a Committee especially chosen should join in an expression of sympathy with his family and of appreciation of the noble and kindly nature that had won the love and respect of all.


While few, perhaps, may have come within the charm of a personal acquaintance, he was known to all through the medium of his noble calling.


The passing away of an official, whose devotion to duty had won the esteem and confidence of his fellowmen is always a cause of sorrow and universal regret. Such could be said of Mr. Eaton-and more. His mission carried him beyond the routine of public life into the holy and tender precinct of the family circle. It is there the void is most keenly felt.


The love and confidence of youth is genuine and unerring and the man who wins this token of nobility must be tender, thoughtful, and true; such a man was he of whom we speak. Youth is the time when ideals are formed as the mind is


39


receptive, and an example of noble manhood and true worth cannot fail of leaving its indelible mark.


Richly endowed by nature with the intellectual and moral qualities indespensable to his grand vocation, to estimate fully the value of his life's work, we must look beyond the immediate present to the golden ripening of the seed so conscientiously sown.


As a community we deem it a privilege to be classed among the many friends who mourn with you to-day. Please accept our heartfelt sympathy in your great sorrow, having in mind that nature in its kindness will soften the shadow that has crossed your path and the grief of the present be- come a sweet memory of the past.


EDWARD E. BRADLEY, THOMAS L. GILES, ANTHONY J. DOHERTY, JULIUS E. EVELETH,


Committee.


Voted to consider Articles 2 and 3 as one article. A report was presented by the School Committee in regard to school- houses and repairs ordered by the State Police, which report was voted to be placed on file in the Town Clerk's office and referred to the Committee on School Houses.


Voted to chose a Committee of Three to look into the matter of a new schoolhouse and as to the advisability of making repairs on the South Schoolhouse.


Chose Edward W. Pope, William C. Peirce, Charles F. Eveleth, Committee.


Voted, That the sum of $1,000 be and hereby is appropri- ated for the use of the Committee just elected, for the pur- pose of allowing the Committee to make a full and complete investigation and report on the advisability of building a


40


new school house or houses or repairing either or both of the present buildings.


Reconsideration of the above vote was moved and unani- mously voted down.


ART. 4. Voted to pass over the article.


ART. 5. Voted, Unanimously, That the Committee on Claims be instructed to appear before the coming session of the General Court to ask for more borrowing capacity for the extensions of the Water Works.


At this junction Mr. Charles Francis Adams read a letter, from Mr. Charles S. Smith to the Town, in which he offered to give to the town the sum of $20,000 with which to build a new schoolhouse. This sum was made conditional upon the acceptance of a previous offer made to the School Com- mittee, which offer was not made known to the Town, either by the School Committee or by Mr. Smith.


This letter was placed on file and referred to the Commit- tee on Schoolhouses.


Voted to adjourn.

Article four was under consideration when an alarm of fire was announced, and it was immediately voted to adjourn.


GEORGE L. CHAPIN, Town Clerk.


On account of the Town safe not being entirely fire proof and having become too small for its use, I have during the year purchased by exchange a new fire proof safe of The Mosler Company at a cost of $110. . Also a new safe has been placed in the vault in the Assessors and Town Clerk's office in the Town Hall at an expense of $175.


The original records of the First and Second Books of Records of the Town also The Precinct Records and the original First and Second Books of Births, Marriages and Deaths have been placed in the safe in the vault.


Copies of the original records for general use are kept in the Town safe in the Post Office.


The Precinct Records and The First Book of Records, which were re-written last year have been bound in one volume in a substantial calf binding.


The Second Book of Records has been re-written the past year by Miss Edith Briggs at an expense of $78.66 and has been bound to correspond with the First Book.


The Town has now a complete copy of its Records from 1747 to 1844 and these two sets of Records are in different safes, so that they are in no danger of being lost.


The First Book of Births, Marriages and Deaths has been re-written the past year by Miss Bertha Bent at a cost of $39.83, and work has been commenced on the Second Book. It is expected that this, with a part of the Third Book up to 1850 will be completed before summer; and they will then be


45


turned over to the New England Historic Genealogical So- ciety, who will in turn cause them to be copied and printed.
