REPORT OF THE BOARD OF FIRE ENGINEERS
To the Board of Selectmen :-
The Board of Fire Engineers herewith submit the fifth annual report ending Jan. 31, 1913.
Force
Thirty-six men belong to the Department, one chief, five assistant Engineers and thirty call men. There are three organized companies.
Apparatus
The apparatus belonging to the Department is as follows: Three hose carriages, twelve fire extinguishers and four ladders and one harness, hose, axes and plaster hooks.
Location of Apparatus
No. 1. Hose house, old schoolhouse, Lincoln centre. No. 2. Kept at F. E. Cousins' grain store, South Lincoln. No. 3. Hose house, John Dee farm, Vigrinia Road, North Lincoln.
Fires
The past year has been rather an unfortunate one, having a total loss of two dwellings and two stables and partial loss of two dwellings, at a loss of about $28,000. We have had but few brush and chimney fires.
We would recommend the Town purchase a motor truck for the centre of the Town and provide a place to keep same.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS
To the Selectmen.
Dear Sirs :- The early Spring of 1912 created a great demand for cracked stone on the highways, extra teams were hired, and upwards of fifteen hundred tons of stone were distributed in the ruts and soft and low places with excellent results. The highways are subjected to uses entirely different from what they were a few years ago, ever since automobiles became numerous. We now have to meet the truck problem. Heavy machines, weighing when loaded from six to ten tons are continually travelling over our roads, one truck in particular is making six trips or more every day through a portion of our Town. This situation must be met and dealt with as well as any other question of advance.
The old Country road, so-called, which a few years ago was almost considered abandoned must be put into con- venient condition for travel. This I believe is the short- est and most direct line from Weston centre to Lexington centre, or from Wellesley to Woburn, and thence on. Considerable real estate bordering this road in Lincoln has recently changed hands, good buildings will probably be built and a demand for a good thoroughfare is sure to come. Ugly sharp curves in the lower portion of the South Great Road should be and must be annihilated for public convenience.
The men who have been employed by me on the high- ways have had explicit orders, that no matter what they were doing to leave everything safe and hasten to the call of fire, whether of buildings or forests, this they have done, and in several cases with excellent work.
85
Early in May last, I tendered to you my resignation as Superintendent of Streets, which was accepted.
The guide-boards at this time were in good order and in their proper places.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN F. FARRAR.
86
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS
To the Board of Selectmen :-
I hereby submit the following report :-
I took charge of the streets on May 7th and found them in very good condition, there having been a large amount of money expended during the months of March and April for extra teams and crushed stone. The ruts were about all filled on the principal streets.
I proceeded to finish scraping, to cover what crushed stone was left uncovered, clean out the gutters, and to smooth up the streets in general.
I found it necessary to purchase a number of carloads of stone to fix up the bad places in the streets where there was no gravel to be obtained without teaming a great distance. I also used 1,400 loads of gravel on the fol- lowing streets:
Making new gravel road from Farnsworth
Corner to Wayland line 3,400 feet.
C. F. Adams Road
· 800 feet.
Higginson Road 1,500 feet. .
Sandy Pond Road
800 feet.
·
Road near Mr. Story's
750 feet. ·
Flint's Road
1,300 feet. . .
Page Road
. 350 feet.
Turnpike 775 feet.
Tower Road
850 feet.
Also put crushed stone and gravel on the following streets:
On back road near Mr. Wallace Brooks 250 feet. One road from Mr. L. E. Brooks to State Road 1,050 feet. On Depot road . 750 feet.
And several short pieces in other parts of the Town.
There seemed to be a lot of holes in the streets caused by automobiles, etc., and I was at loss to know just what
87
to fill them with so as to have it remain. I made a mixture of fine crushed stone, sand and road oil which I proceeded to use at different times to fill them, thus keep- ing them fairly smooth.
Owing to dry weather in the early Summer there was a call for oil to lay the dust, and I was obliged to buy four carloads which I used where most needed.
The Depot road started to loosen up in several places, and I tried Tarvia as a binder and dust preventative. I think it was very satisfactory to all who travel over that street.
The streets were in very good condition until the first of January, when the warm weather came and softened them. Since then they have been cut up so they are not as smooth as I should like to see them at this time of the year. The South Great Road is in bad condition and needs a great deal of repair. As there is no good gravel to be had, the Town will either have to get crushed stone from the cars, or set up a crusher in that part of the Town.
I have been able to keep the regular men and teams at work nearly every day up to date by having the work at Lee's Bridge, and crushing what stone there was in the crusher yard, there being about 600 tons ready for Spring use.
I would recommend that the Town appropriate suffi- cient money to keep the Town teams at work all the time during the year, weather permitting. Also that the Town purchase a stone crusher for the south part, using the oil boiler for both crushers.
Respectfully yours, WILLIAM H. SHERMAN, Superintendent of Streets.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH OF THE TOWN OF LINCOLN FOR THE YEAR ENDING
JAN. 31, 1913.
The occurrence of contagious disease during the past year has been as follows :---
Tuberculosis
2 cases
Chicken Pox
4 cases
Measles
7 cases
All the cases of measles have occurred during the past month (January ) and threatened to assume the pro- portions of an epidemic.
The attention of the Town is drawn to the following law :- Revised Laws, 75, Sect. 49. "A householder who knows that a person in his family or house is sick of small pox, diphtheria, scarlet fever or any other in- fectious or contagious disease declared by the state board of health to be dangerous to the public health shall forthwith give notice thereof to the board of health of the city or town in which he dwells." The neglect of this provision is punishable by a fine of not more than one hundred dollars.
It is to be borne in mind that a mild and harmless case of measles in one child may become virulent and fatal in the next.
