Appointments
The following appointments have been made during the year:
Sealer of Weights and Measures, Matthew H. Doherty.
Weighers of Coal, Hay, Grain and other Commodities, Roger Sherman, William J. Bennett, S. Rodman Snelling. Inspector of Animals, Martin M. Welch.
Special Police, William A. Harding, Winslow A. Eaton, Lorenzo E. Brooks, Herbert G. Farrar, John F. Farrar. Forest Warden, John J. Kelliher.
Ballot Clerks and Tellers at the Annual State and Town Election, James W. Lennon, Thomas L. Giles, Herbert G. Farrar, Thomas J. Dee, Herman T. Wheeler.
Janitor of Public Buildings and Caretaker of Public Grounds, Edward Bannon.
Finances
The bond issue on account of the new schoolhouse has been reduced by the annual appropriation and by special appropriations made for the purchase of schoolhouse bonds to $24,000.
An appropriation of $15,000. 00 made from the surplus money in the treasury last year, has been paid to the Commissioners by the Town Treasurer, with which to purchase additional schoolhouse bonds, which will be done as soon as the bonds can be purchased at a reason- able price. In the meantime the money is on interest at 3%.
Thus, there will remain only $9,000.00 of the school- house bonds to be liquidated.
Exclusive of the money in the hands of the Town Treasurer on account of the Water Works Department, there is a balance of $2,005.46, and uncollected taxes of $3,651. 21, or a total available balance in the treasury, exclusive of Water Works balance, of $5,655. 67.
53
The indebtedness on account of the Water Works is as reported by the Treasurer in connection with the Report of the Water Commissioners. The net debt on account of the Water Works at the present time approximates $50,000.00.
Support of Poor
No money has been expended during the year for the Support of Poor, except money which has been paid for Mothers' Aid, under a special act of the Legislature, and for which the Town has been reimbursed in a substantial sum.
Fire Department
The Fire Department has been conducted during the year as heretofore. For a more detailed report, reference is made to the Report of the Fire Engineer.
Tree Warden
Report of the Tree Warden gives a full account of the work his department has accomplished during the year, with recommendations for the future.
Silent Poor Fund
The Silent Poor Fund has not been drawn on during the year.
Highways
The highways during the year have been under the charge of the same Superintendent as in former years, Mr. William H. Sherman, and reference is made to his report for further information.
At the last Annual Meeting, the Town voted certain amendments to the by-laws, and that the Selectmen be
.
54
a Committee to attend to the publication and promulga- tion of the same. These by-laws, as amended by the votes of the Town, were presented to the Attorney- General's office for revision some months since, and it appeared that some of the provisions conflicted with the present statutes. The Board expects to have a draft of by-laws, which the Attorney-General's office will approve, for presentation at the annual meeting.
All of the Town's affairs have been running smoothly during the year, and we believe that all departments have worked conscientiously for the Town, and are generally in better condition than they have been at the close of any previous year.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
CHARLES S. SMITH, JOHN F. FARRAR, ROBERT D. DONALDSON, Selectmen of Lincoln.
