The hall is now in better condition, we believe, than when it was first constructed and it will not be necessary, in our opinion, to expend any considerable amount of money on it for many years.
WIDENING OF STATION ROAD.
After the repairs on the hall were completed there was a large amount of material which had been taken out in excavating for the basement which was not valuable for road construction purposes, but could be well utilized where a fill was to be made. There was also additional material which could be used for this purpose, adjoining Mr. Storey's land, opposite the farm buildings of Mr. DeNormandie, also a large quantity of available stone near Mr. Pope's land in the center of the town.
The schoolhouse having been located on the Station Road, increasing the travel on that road, especially of children, it seemed advisable to the Selectmen that the
46
road as far as the schoolhouse lot should be widened. There was also another reason for undertaking the work at this time besides the reasons enumerated above, namely, that the retaining wall of the old road was in very bad condition and liable to fall down at any time.
The heirs of Mr. John H. Pierce generously offered to give such land as was necessary.
It appeared to the Selectmen that there might never again be as many favorable conditions present for widen- ing at a low cost this portion of the highway; therefore, at a town meeting held September 6th, they presented the matter with plans to the town and the following vote was passed :-
"Voted that the Selectmen be authorized and directed to widen and construct the road substantially accord- ing to the plan filed with the Town Clerk."
The Selectmen accordingly advertised for bids from contractors. The work was awarded to Mr. R. D. Donaldson, to be completed for a sum not exceeding $2,000.00, he being the lowest bidder. The work was nearly completed before winter set in and will be finished early in the spring.
STREET LIGHTING.
The Selectmen entered into a contract, in accordance with the votes of the Town at the last annual meeting, for the electric lighting of the streets, which had been previously lighted with kerosene lamps, the number of lights not to exceed eighty. The contract was made with the Edison Electric Illuminating Company of Boston and eighty-one lights have been installed, light- ing much more highway than had previously been lighted.
The location of the lights seems on the whole to be satisfactory and the streets are now lighted from the
47
lane near the house of Mr. Charles Wheeler to Mr. Farnsworth's Corner, from Farnsworth's Corner to the Haynes Crossing on the Fitchburg. Railroad, and from the center of the town on all the roads centering there, for a distance of about half a mile. The total expense to the town per year will be approximately $1,061.10, or $13.10 per light.
OLD SCHOOLHOUSE.
The town referred this matter to the Selectmen to investigate at. the last town meeting, it having been stated that inasmuch as the old schoolhouse was not now used for school purposes that it reverted with the land to the adjoining owners. The Selectmen have investigated this matter thoroughly and find the records respecting the same as follows :-
In March, 1763, the following appears on the records:
The builders of the school house that stands in the middle of the town by the meeting house did at this town meeting present said school house as a gift to the town, to be improved for the purposes and conveniences of a school, and twenty-five rods of land adjoining said house, so long as the town shall see fit to use it for said purposes.
Voted and accepted, March, 1763.
Nothing further appears on the records respecting the school house or schoolhouse site as affecting ownership until May, 1870, when the following vote was passed :-
May 30, 1870.
VOTED,-That if the committee or town shall decide to locate the new house on the site of the old school house, the Building Committee have full power to remove the old school house and hearse house and provide some other place for the hearse.
48
In the First Parish records of 1870 there is a record which, in our opinion, is especially valuable, as follows :--
"The Building Committee appointed by the Town to carry into effect its vote to erect a schoolhouse respect- fully submit to the First Parish that in pursuance of their duties under instructions of the Town they located said Schoolhouse on land occupied by the old Primary School- house and adjacent thereto, without intention of tres- passing on the rights of any parties.
Respectfully submitted for the Committee, SAMUEL HARTWELL, Clerk pro tem.
It was then voted that the Parish cheerfully acquiesce in the Town building a schoolhouse in part on parish land and in occupying the same so long as it may be im- proved for school purposes.
Voted to dissolve the Meeting.
ALONZO S. ยท FISKE, Parish Clerk"
In connection with these records it is proper to state for the information of the town that it does not appear, either in connection with the record or otherwise, who the builders and donors of the schoolhouse of 1763 were. It may be presumed that this was conveyed by deed to the town. So far as we have discovered, there is no record of the deed. The town has occupied the land now occupied by the present school house building ever since 1763, both for school and other purposes, including storage for a hearse and in later years storage for hose and hose carriage, and apparatus of the Fire Department. There seems, therefore, no question about the town's right to continue to occupy the land originally given to the town and the building erected on it for school and
49
such other purposes as they may desire. The building now standing on this lot is a well constructed building and can be repaired and such changes made as seem to be necessary for a comparatively small sum of money. The question which presents itself directly to the town is whether repairs shall be made on this building which are necessary and such changes made as are desirable for use by the town or if the building shall be torn down and such other use made of the land as the town shall see fit. We trust the town will pass some definite votes respect- ing the matter at the March meeting.
TELEPHONE RATES.
At a town meeting held Sept. 6, last the following resolution was passed :-
"Resolved, that the Town of Lincoln, in town meeting assembled, unanimously hereby protests against the telephone rates suggested by the Highway Commission and about to be adopted by the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company, and requests the Selectmen to adopt all proper measures to procure amendment of the same."
The Selectmen carried out the provisions of the above resolution by writing a letter in the following form to the New England Telephone & Telegraph Company, the Massachusetts Highway Commission, and Governor Draper, and by appearing in behalf of the town at meet- ings which were called to more emphatically register the protests above referred to.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
To the Selectmen of Lincoln :-
Gentlemen :- The roads have been in my charge the past year, and to the time when the ground froze up were in very good condition all over Town.
The open winter, with its frequent freezing and thaw- ing, has been very disastrous in a way and yet it has afforded an excellent opportunity for those who wished to draw in stone to the crushers. The people in the north part of the Town took advantage of the chance and what they hauled in, together with what the Town teams have been able to draw, has been crushed, and so far as pos- sible hauled to different parts of the Town where it is ready for spring use. I estimate about twelve hundred tons now ready for this year's use, which I consider a valuable asset.
A large quantity of gravel has been used in resurfacing the road where the cobble-stones were beginning to show; this is liable to be thrown into the gutters by automobiles before another season is past, unless some sort of a binder is put on to prevent it. There was a great call by members of your board and others for a dust suppressor, and one hundred and forty barrels of road oil were purchased and distributed where the most people would get the benefit of it. Several of our citizens requested an application of oil for a short strip near their houses; they were accommodated as far as possible and practicable, and in many cases the applicant paid the expense. The time has come when oil or some
55
other road preservative has got to be used, and I think five hundred barrels could be used to advantage this year.
The usual amount of guard rail has been built and still there is a chance for a lot more. The widening of the road in the center of the Town (by contract ) is a per- manent improvement, as is also the widening in the hollow near Mr. DeNormandie's new buildings. If the widening opposite the Pierce property was continued to the corner near the house of the Misses Chapin it would be a still further permanent improvement. The tree warden has had the use of the two double carts, which were all right for his work, but too much out of repair for highway work. These carts should be sold to the tree- warden department. One new double cart, one road machine and one street sprinkler have been purchased this year.
The horses have worked well and practically all the time. I think it would be advisable to dispose of one horse and purchase two new ones this coming season. Guide boards have been repaired and replaced and are in their proper places.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN F. FARRAR, Superintendent of Streets.
