SECT. 2. The provisions of the preceding section shall not apply to fires which may be set in accordance with regulations and methods approved by the superintendent for suppressing the gypsy and brown tail moths.
SECT. 3. The State Forester shall notify every town in the Commonwealth of the passage of this act by sending at least three printed copies thereof to the town clerk, who shall post the same in conspicuous places.
SECT. 4. The State Forester and Forest Warden may arrest without a warrant any persons found in the act of setting a fire in violation of any provision of this act.
SECT. 5. The selectmen of every town shall cause this act to be submitted to the voters for their acceptance at the next annual meeting of the town after the passage of this act. The vote shall be taken by separate ballot, and shall be "Yes" or "No" in answer to the following question printed upon the ballot: "Shall an act passed by the gen- eral court in the year nineteen hundred and eight, entitled 'An act to provide for the protection of forest or sprout lands from fire' be accepted by this town?" A majority vote of the legal voters present and voting at such meeting shall be required for the acceptance of this act; and upon such acceptance the provisions of Section twenty-four of chapter thirty-two of the Revised Laws shall cease to apply to any town which has previously accepted that section. [Approved March 14, 1908.]
We believe that the Town should accept this act and guard as far as possible against the great number of de- structive forest fires that are started by careless persons.
Tree Warden.
For the work done by the Tree Warden, which has, during the year been more extensive than in any previous year, involving the expenditure of upwards of $10,000.00 we refer you more particularly to his report.
This department has become a department in which
43
the expenditure of more money is involved than in any department of the Town, and we wish to direct the atten- tion of our citizens in a very emphatic way to the work of this department and to consider the matter most carefully.
Highways.
Mr. John F. Farrar has served the Town under the ap- pointment of the Selectmen, as Superintendent of Streets during the past year as in the previous year.
Notwithstanding the extra wear on the roads occasioned by the increased number of automobiles in use, we con- sider the roads to be in very fair condition. Were it not for the destruction of the road beds by the automobiles, we believe that the roads could be kept in good condition with a smaller appropriation than that made last year, but, with the increased use of these vehicles, we believe it is only a question of time when a larger appropriation will have to be made. We trust, however, that the legislature will pass some law by which automobile owners will be assessed a larger amount than at present, and that the money thus received by the State can be distributed among the towns, to be used for repairs of highways. We understand that bills to accomplish this end are before the present legislature.
Bequests.
The Town has received during the year the balance of the bequest of Mrs. Abbie J. Stearns, $2,162.60, which sum has been paid over to the Sinking and Trust Fund Commissioners. This makes a total of $4,662.50 received by the Town by the will of Abbie J. Stearns.

Report of the Fire Engineers
To the Board of Selectmen:
GENTLEMEN :- The Board of Fire Engineers submit the following report.
The efficiency of the Department has been increased the past year by purchasing three fire wagons, one for each section of the town, and now any fire in Lincoln can be reached by a hose-wagon within ten minutes of the alarm.
We had many forest fires the past season, but only two house fires-one a total loss of an unoccupied house, and one a loss of about $600.
In the near future, to promote efficiency, the question of the proper housing of the center wagon must be taken up.
A list of articles purchased by the Department will be found in the Auditor's report.

Report of the Superintendent of Streets
Feb. 1, 1909.
To the Selectmen of Lincoln :-
SIRS :- The highways and bridges have been in my charge the past year, and at this writing are safe and convenient for travel. The guide boards are in good condition. This department has served the Town in other ways when requested, it has aided the Tree War- den in spraying and has fought forest fires with diligence and economy. And although the Auditor's report will show an overdraft, the bills collectible from individuals and other departments of the Town will leave a small unexpended balance.
JOHN F. FARRAR,
Supt. of Streets.
