Finances .
The Town now has a bonded debt on account of its Water Department of $87,000.00, as follows :-
Issue of 1894, $4,000 00, due one each year.
1897, 10,000 00 4 % bonds, due 1917.

serial
1912 to1924
Sixteen $500,00 bonds, $8,000.00, one each year. Total bonded indebtedness, $87,000.00.
From this total indebtedness should be deducted the amount of money now in the Sinking Fund, to retire issues of 1897, 1900, 1902, 1903, 1904, 1906, and 1907, at maturity.
The total bond issue on account of the new schoolhouse was $55,000.00, of which $12,000.00 has been retired, leaving bonded indebtedness on this account, Januray 1, 1912, of $43,000.00.
It will be necessary for the Town to appropriate $3,000.00 to retire bonds this year, also to appropriate $1,720.00 on account of interest on the $43,000.00 out- standing bonds.
There is, however, a sinking fund of $3,000.00 pro- vided by the appropriatiom of last year, which makes the net indebtedness on account of the new schoolhouse $40,000.00.
The Town Treasurer's report shows that he has in the treasury $1,244.82, and that there are uncollected taxes amounting to $337.80, making total available
40
money in the treasury of $1,582.62. Considering the fact that there was paid during the past year $5,200.00 on the water and schoolhouse debts, more than was required by the terms of the loan, we consider the Treasurer's statement very satisfactory.
Support of Poor
The Town has fully supported during the year Caro- line Preble, but the Board has been notified that on and after February 1st, there will be no expense on her ac- count.
The Town has also contributed to the support of other citizens as per the Auditor's Report.
Fire Department.
This department has been conducted during the year as heretofore. For a more detailed report, reference is made to the report of the Fire Engineer.
Several forest fires have occurred during the year, which have been primarily due to carelessness in burning brush near woodland. The proper article has been in- serted in the warrant, which will bring this matter up for discussion and action, if desirable.
Tree Warden
The report of the Tree Warden gives a full account of the work that has been done, with the results obtained, and recommendations for the future. As far as we have been able to observe, the department has been conducted in a creditable manner.
41
Silent Poor Fund
The Board has not received any application for aid from this Fund during the year. The fund is as reported by the Treasurer of the Trust Committee.
Highways
On account of the very full report made by the Super- intendent of Highways, it does not seem necessary for us to refer to the matter, except to repeat what was said last year, that the increased use of automobiles has in- jured the surface of the roads materially and made an increased expenditure and appropriation necessary ; also, the use of automobiles has had a tendency to make the dust nuisance almost unbearable, and it has been neces- sary to use large quantities of oil at a considerable cost.
In matter of Lee's Bridge, to which reference has been made in the last two annual reports, the County Commissioners amended their order with respect to the same by which a bridge was ordered constructed on the old location, which location has always been favored by the Board of Selectmen as being much more practical and economical than the one further up the river, origi- nally selected by the Commissioners. An appropriation was made at the last town meeting on this account of $2,500.00.
After the order was amended, Mr. Charles Francis Adams offered to contribute towards the expense of building the bridge a sum which would be necessary, in order to complete a bridge which would be not only prac- tical, but ornamental.
After various consultations with the County Commis- sioners and Selectmen a contract was finally executed, by which Mr. Adams has undertaken to build a bridge in accordance with the order of the County Commissioners, which will cost in the vicinity of $30,000.00.
42
The important correspondence respecting the matter as far as Mr. Adams is concerned, is as follows :-
India Building 84 State Street Boston.
My dear Mr. Smith:
June 30, 1911.
I have communicated with the Misses Williams in relation to Lee's Bridge. They are very much interested in the matter, but clearly do not see their way to making any contribution for the artistic improvement thereof.
I have not heard anything further from Messrs. Wor- cester and Codman. The last intimation which reached me was that such a bridge as I had in mind would prob- ably cost about $16,000, or nearly three times what a purely commercial bridge would cost. I hardly feel disposed to go to that extent; although, I must say, it does annoy me when such an opportunity for an effect is thrown away; and that forever. I should be very glad indeed to put my monument, so far as Lincoln is con- cerned, at that point. I hope, therefore, before anything final is done, that Messrs. Codman and Worcester, to- gether with the Commissioners, will give me ample time to reach a deliberate and final conclusion.
Believe me, etc.,
(Sd. ) CHARLES F. ADAMS.

My dear Mr. Smith :
You asked me, at the station this morning, whether I had given any attention to the Lee's Bridge matter. I
43
returned a somewhat evasive answer; inasmuch as, in my case, the recent hot wave has materiaally interfered with all activities, I do not stand that kind of thing quite so well now as I did some thirty years ago.
Enclosed please find a copy of a letter which I wrote, on the 5th inst. to Mr. Codman. It states the situation up to date, so far as I am concerned, with sufficient accuracy.
I remain, etc., (Sd. ) CHARLES F. ADAMS.
Charles S. Smith, Esq.,
Lincoln, Mass.
Boston, July 5, 1911.
My dear Stephen :
The more I think of it, the more inclined I am to leave my monument in the form of Lee's Bridge, in Concord.
I wish you and Mr. Worcester, therefore, would hurry up matters, and submit the plan to me at an early date.
I want something which would be in the nature of a Memorial Bridge. I would arrange for the approaches with the Misses Williams, and give the necessary height to the arch of the span.
I want something, however, which is solid, dignified and lasting; something which will, as a matter of taste, stand better a century hence than now. Simplicity always is a large element in anything of the sort. The two go together-simplicity and massiveness. The Roman arch is the best and most enduring.
I wish, therefore, you would consult Mr. Worcester, and give this matter early attention. I do not want to spend a fortune on the structure; and, therefore, the cost must not be left out of consideration. Meanwhile, I would like something which would be individual, lasting and educational.
44
Do you feel disposed, in this warm weather, to grapple with the problem?
Believe me, etc.,
(Sd. ) CHARLES F. ADAMS.
Stephen Codman, Esq., 31 Beacon Street,
Boston, Mass.
The towns of Lincoln and Concord will contribute such sum to the expense of the construction of this bridge as they would have contributed had a simple commercial bridge been erected, or, jointly the sum of $7,000.00. The division between the towns will be $5,500.00 to Lincoln and $1,500.00 to Concord. On the completion of the bridge to the satisfaction of the Commissioners on the orders already issued, the town will receive from the County $1,650, which will make the net cost of the bridge to the town approximately $4,000.00. Inasmuch as $2,500.00 was appropriated at the last annual meeting, only a small portion of which has been used, we recom- mend that the town appropriate $4,000.00 for this pur- pose.
The bridge which Mr. Adams is to construct will not only be a larger bridge, but one which will be ornamental, and in every respect as good as can be built.
The Selectmen feel that by reason of the delay in the construction of this bridge, which they have been largely instrumental in causing, the town has reason to be ex- tremely well satisfied, not only by having the bridge erected on the old location, where it can be more cheaply constructed, but also in the fact that Mr. Adams is erecting such a beautiful bridge.
The widening of the Station Road near the center of the town has been completed; a sidewalk has been con- structed as far as the schoolhouse lot, and this section of
45
road is now in first-class condition. We think that the roads on the whole are in better condition than they were last year.
By expending $7,500.00, the amount recommended to be appropriated, allowing $1,000.00 for the purchase of oil, and $1,000 for the purchase of crushed stone and $1,800.00 for Superintendent's salary and keeping the horses, there would remain a balance of $3,700.00, which would provide labor for nine men for 200 days. It seems to the Board that this appropriation will be suffi- cient, if properly expended, to put the roads in a per- manently better condition.
