REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS
To the Board of Selectmen :
I submit herewith the following report for the year ending December 31, 1923 :
The surfaces of the roads were well protected by the heavy snows last winter, thus preventing the action of the frost on them.
Practically no new work has been done on the crossroads. We have, however, built a few short stretches of gravel road ; also filled in the ruts and scraped them.
Several times during the year the tar surfaced roads were patched. Tarvia B applied, and then covered with sand.
It has been my experience that oil or tarvia applied to the roads every year not only helps to hold them firm, but gives them a very hard surface.
Under the supervision of state and county engineers work was completed on the Codman road as far as Bent's corner, at an approximate cost of $16,000, as follows :
Teams
$ 1,260
Wood and coal
165
Stone
5,260
Asphalt
2,100
Sand and gravel
325
Steam roller
495
Superintendent and labor
6,000
Culvert pipe, etc.
200
Guard rail
150
Ledge work
300
$16,255
41
It required five months to complete the work.
This department assisted the Moth department, handled work in the cemeteries that required attention, and kept the ashes cleared from the public buildings.
The following is a partial list of what the men and teams have done throughout this year :
JANUARY, FEBRUARY and MARCH
This department spent practically their entire time during these months breaking out roads and shoveling snow.
APRIL
To put the gravel roads in good condition for the summer it was necessary to scrape them and fill in the ruts during this month. However, part of the time was spent patching the tar surfaced roads and teaming sand.
MAY
Tarvia and oil were applied to the roads and sand teamed to cover same.
JUNE
In this month the roads in the outskirts of the town were oiled. Near the Water Basin gravel roads were built.
JULY, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER and NOVEMBER
The men and teams worked on the road built by the State. County, and Town, in the south part of Lincoln ; also, patched roads requiring such work.
42
DECEMBER
Stone walls were built and the roads widened at Farns- worth's corner, and near Mr. Storrow's property.
Culvert pipe was required on several roads and this work was done.
Hills were scraped and gutters cleaned in preparation for the winter storms.
The money expended for maintenance this year is approx- imately as follows :
Hay, grain, etc.
$ 1,215
Supplies
7,950
Repairs and horseshoeing
1,650
Outside snow work
2,300
Tractor and truck expense
2,750
Horses, carts and harness
1,250
Rent, water, light, etc.
530
Superintendent's salary, labor, etc.
6,820
Total
$24,465
Amount of credits due the Highway Department
5,500
Total spent for Maintenance and upkeep of Highway Department
$18,965
Four new horses were purchased, one horse sold, and one horse lost, through death, during the year.
Also, I purchased a double harness, and two new carts as some of the old carts were beyond repair.
I find the truck very useful on this work, but very ex- pensive to operate, and therefore consider one sufficient. Horses are much more economical.
. At the present time this department has six horses, two of which are getting old and will soon have to be exchanged for a new pair.
43
With the above exceptions the condition of the Highway department remains the same.
Guide board posts which were tumbling down in several places have been replaced by new ones, and on some roads I have had newly painted signs put in place. The condition of the others is the same as last reported.
Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM H. SHERMAN, Superintendent of Streets.

REPORT OF TOWN NURSE COMMITTEE
To the Board of Selectmen of Lincoln:
In compliance with your request for information for the town concerning the work of the Town Nurse Committee, I submit the following account of what has been done during the year just concluded.
During the first two months of the year Miss Viets was able to give us but little time on account of her illness, and at the end of February was finally obliged to resign. Her suc- cessor, Miss Mosher, was engaged early in April and remained until August, when she left to take up work among the Indians in the Southwest. Our present nurse, Miss Edith H. Backman, came on duty on October tenth, and has so far proved eminently satisfactory.
Owing to numerous inquiries, it seems advisable to state that the fact that Miss Backman lives in Waltham should deter no one from seeking her services at any time. She is in Lincoln daily, and at night may be reached by telephone. It is expected that she take emergency calls after hours, except, of course, during her legitimate recreation time. The best way to reach her is to call the Lincoln Central Office, where the operators can usually get in touch with her very quickly. Their willingness to help in this respect is very gratifying to the nurse and to the townspeople.
Mention should also be made of the co-operation of the local Red Cross organization, which has added so much to the efficiency of the nurse by furnishing her with means of transportation. During the past year the old car was re- placed by a new coupe, which makes driving far more com- fortable. It seems entirely fitting that your committee should take this opportunity of publicly thanking the Red Cross, on
47
behalf of the town, for their very valuable contribution to the success of the nursing project.
The arrangement with the town of Sudbury, whereby our nurse works one day a week in the Sudbury schools, has been in force during the past year. The sum of one hundred ninety- five dollars is still due the town for this outside work. Your committee knows of no reason why the same plan should not be followed throughout another year. Assuming that $350.00 can be collected from Sudbury, and $400.00 from our own School Committee, it would be necessary for the town to ap- propriate $750.00, the same amount that was appropriated at the last annual meeting, to carry on the nursing work another year. It has been our experience that the fees collected by the nurse will in the long run balance her expenses, except the cost of upkeep of her car, and that is borne by the Red Cross.
A brief summary of the actual nursing work follows. It should be borne in mind in making comparisons that we have been without a regular nurse for practically five months during 1923. The nurse has visited the schools during a part of almost every session, and has made 228 follow-up visits to the homes. The number of treatments given school children in office is 134. Outside of the school work 149 nursing visits have been made, 42 office treatments given, 5 night calls answered, 35 infant welfare visits made, and 3 trips taken to clinics or hospital.
Respectfully submitted,
EDITH B. FARRAR, For the Committee.
