Following the policy which has been in operation for sev- eral years, the re-building of what is known as the South Great Road was started this year at the Concord line at Lee's Bridge and was continued easterly for 4,500 feet. The
49
Town appropriated $7,500, which appropriation was matched by the State and the County, making a total available appro- priation of $22,500. The cost of the work up to January 1st, 1925, was $23,000. It is expected that the State and County will appropriate the same amount of money this year for the continuance of this work, and the Selectmen recom- mend a like appropriation by the Town.
No further work has been undertaken on the highway from the centre of the Town to Farnsworth's Corner during the year.
The State appropriated approximately $3,000 for the use of the Town in general maintenance of the highways.
The Selectmen wish to renew the recommendation made in the report of last year that a beginning be made in construct- ing sidewalks on the principal streets, and they recommend this policy especially to the Superintendent of Streets as much of this work many times can be done without any material additional expense.
The Selectmen are glad to report the completion by the Edison Electric Illuminating Company of their line in the north part of the Town.
The Selectmen have properly executed a quitclaim deed to the First Parish of all of their right, title and interest in land West of the highway leading from the centre of the Town to Bedford and same has been recorded.
In accordance with the vote passed by the Town on June 25, 1923, as follows:
"That a committee of five be authorized to have the school- house grounds properly graded for a playground for the school children, also in such a way that there may be a good baseball field for the use of the citizens of the Town, and sufficient money be appropriated to be taken from the sur-
50
plus in the Treasury. That this committee consist of the Selectmen and two to be appointed by the Chair, or other- wise as the Town may determine."
at which meeting an appropriation of $5,000 was made for the work, the money to be taken from the money in the Treasury, and the committee appointed consisted of the Selectmen and Mr. C. Lee Todd and Mr. Andrew J. Dougherty, Jr., this work has been satisfactorily completed and it has not been neces- sary to use any of the appropriation made by the Town for the purpose.
Many years ago the Town received a legacy from Mrs. Abbie J. Stearns with which to purchase a Town hearse. About the time that this legacy was received municipalities ceased to own hearses, undertakers providing. all that was necessary in this connection, and it is improbable that this legacy will ever be used for the purposes designated by the testator. It seems advisable, therefore, that the Selectmen or other designated persons apply to the Court that this fund may be added to the Trust Fund established by the same per- son for the Silent Poor Fund. This Fund for Town Hearse now amounts to approximately $1,800.
Finances
The Sinking Fund Commissioners' report indicates that there is a balance of $2,580.50 in the fund for the retirement of schoolhouse bonds in excess of the amount necessary to liqui- date the outstanding bonds. It will be in order and the Select- men think advisable that the Town vote to have this excess not required for the liquidation of the bonds turned into the Town Treasury.
The financial condition of the Town otherwise as on Jan- uary 1, 1925 is as follows :
The outstanding bonded indebtedness on account of the Water Works, as reported by the Treasurer, is $61,500.00;
51
there is available in the Sinking Fund, to retire the bonds at maturity, securities and cash of the value of $41,345.23; this, together with the reported uncollected water bills and current cash on hand of $13,763.22 leaves a net indebtedness of $6,- 391.55. Exclusive of the amount owed to the Town Treas- urer. The condition of the Water Works, both physically and financially, has been improving from year to year and with proper management it seems reasonable to expect further im- provement. The Selectmen understand that the Water Board intend, when money is available in the Treasury for the purpose, to lay a new water main from the centre of the Town to Codman Corner, so-called. The Water Department still owes to the Town Treasury money advanced some years ago, $4,712.00, with interest.
The Treasurer's report shows the balance in the treasury on January 1, 1925 of $18,926.16. The Collector reports un- collected taxes on January 1, 1925 of $4,919.57. This makes available for the treasury on account of balance in the treasury and uncollected taxes $23,845.73, to which should be added the excess cash in the hands of the Sinking Fund Commissioners of $2,580.50 and $4,712.00 with interest due from the Water Department, or a total of more than $31,138.23.
The business of the Town, as it has been conducted by the various officers and departments of the Town, is embodied in their printed reports.
Respectfully submitted, CHARLES S. SMITH, JOHN F. FARRAR, Selectmen of Lincoln.
52
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE GRADING OF THE SCHOOLHOUSE GROUNDS
At a Special Meeting held in July, 1923, the town appro- priated $5,000 for grading the schoolhouse grounds. The work has been completed but has cost the town nothing. Mr. Charles S. Smith, who donated the schoolhouse lot to the town, has paid the entire cost of the improvement.
The work has been conducted under the direction of a com- mittee consisting of the Selectmen and of C. Lee Todd and Andrew J. Dougherty. The contract was awarded, after com- petitive bids, to John H. McCusker & Sons of Waltham, who have done the work in a most satisfactory manner.
The result is that there is now an excellent playground for school children and a field suitable for baseball and other sports without expense to the taxpayers. The town should make due acknowledgment to Mr. Charles S. Smith for his generosity.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN F. FARRAR, R. D. DONALDSON, C. L. TODD, ANDREW J. DOUGHERTY.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF. STREETS
To the Board of Selectmen :-
I herewith submit the following report for the year end- ing December 31, 1924:
During the first part of the winter very little snow fell. but in March and the first part of April the storms were heavier, so that the men and trucks were busy on snow work.
In the spring the cross roads were scraped, and the ruts filled in with crushed stone; the tar surfaced roads patched several times, and Tarvia and oil were applied to most of the roads in town.
This department built about 1,500 ft. of penetration road near the residence of Mr. James J. Storrow.
It also filled in the gutters along the road on the north side of the town hill, thereby widening this road.
In conjunction with the state and county we built 4,500 ft. of state road near Lee's bridge, in the south part of the town, at an approximate cost of $23,000, as follows:
Labor
$ 8,400
Supplies
10,000
Repairs and other expenses for truck
450
Sand and gravel
600
Coal
135
Steam roller
657
Teams
2,758
$23,000
55
The amount expended for maintenance this year is approxi- mately as follows :
Hay and grain
$ 1332
Supplies
10,800
Repairs, expense of truck and shoeing 1,935
Outside snow work
750
Rent, water, light, etc.
603
Superintendent's salary, labor, etc.
5,330
Steam roller and teams
730
$21,480
Amount of credit due
the Highway Dept. 6,875
Total spent for upkeep and maintenance of Highway department $14,605
The guide boards generally are in good condition, but where necessary I have had new ones painted and put in place.
Otherwise the Highway Department, is in about the same condition as last year.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM H. SHERMAN, Superintendent of Streets.
56
REPORT OF THE FIRE ENGINEERS
To the Board of Selectmen :
The Board of Fire Engineers herewith submit their 17th annual report ending December 31, 1924.
Force
The Fire Department consists of the following: One chief, five engineers and fifteen call men.
Apparatus
The apparatus belonging to the Department is as follows : Two combination trucks, twenty-five extinguishers, four lad- ders, 1,800 feet of hose, and three axes and plaster hooks.
Location of Apparatus
No. 2 Combination Truck at Doherty's Garage, South Lin- coln. No. 3 Ford Combination Truck at T. J. Dee Farm, Virginia Road, North Lincoln.
Fires
During the past year the Department has been called to the following fires: No. 2 Combination Truck-7 chimney, 29 grass and wood, 5 houses and 4 other buildings.
No. 3 Combination Truck-1 chimney, 7 grass and wood, 1 house.
Loss $10,000.
The Fire Engineers are of the unanimous opinion that it
57
is for the best interests of the Town that more equipment should be provided, in the immediate future.
While we have been very fortunate in the past in regard to fire loss we still feel our present equipment is inadequate and we recommend the addition of a Motor Pump.

REPORT OF THE LINCOLN TOWN NURSE
To the Selectmen of Lincoln :
In accordance with custom a brief report of the work of the Town Nurse is hereby submitted.
There is fortunately no change of nurses to record, as Miss Backman has remained with us throughout the year. She has rendered willing and highly efficient service, much appreciated by all who have worked with her.
The usual financial arrangement has been in force, the Town appropriating $750.00 toward the nurse's salary, the School Committee paying $400.00, and the nurse herself earn- ing for the Town the sum of $350.00 by weekly visits to the Sudbury schools. The sum of $370.00 is now due Lincoln from Sudbury for the services of our nurse during 1924. Part of the expense of operating the nurse's car is paid by the fees collected by the nurse; the balance has as usual been met by the Red Cross. This service is hereby gratefully ac- knowledged.
The outstanding feature of the year's work has been a grat- ifying increase in the number and variety of the demands for the nurse's services. The total number of nursing visits made is 429, classified by the nurse as follows: Calls for advice 7, night calls 5, Sunday calls 18, prenatal visits 12, obstetric work 47, treatments 110, bedside care 230. The work with the children in the schools is thoroughly covered in the nurse's report to the School Committee. A physician prac- tising in town testified that the fact that he was able to save the life of one of his patients was directly and solely due to the presence in town of a visiting nurse. This case alone would go far toward making the year's work of value to the community.
Respectfully submitted,
EDITH B. FARRAR.
