During the last three years, besides the regular amounts ap- propriated and expended on highways, the Town has expended upwards of $20,000 on special construction in the South part of the Town-the State and the County contributing like amounts. The roads which have been constructed from the Weston line to Mr. Bent's corner and from the Episcopal Church to the Concord line, cost $62,000. The amount ex- pended by the Town for these purposes, with the exception of $4,000, has been taken from the surplus in the treasury.


The surplus available for the treasury is not so large as to relieve the Town from raising by taxation most of the amounts appropriated for the various departments this year. In the opinion of the Board a reasonable appropriation for special construction in the South part of the Town and on the station road should be made this year. The experience during the past year indicates that the cost of new construction will be reasonable. It is to the credit of the Highway Department that such a good road has been constructed and at a cost con- sidered most reasonable by the State authorities.


The Board recommends an appropriation for special high- way construction this year of $7,500 for the road in the South part of the Town and $4,000 for the station road. In con- nection with the construction of the South road it is assumed that the State and the County will contribute like amounts, and it is possible that the County may contribute something toward the station road, but there is no certainty of this.


That the citizens may not be obliged to refer to the last Annual Report for information in connection with the Lewis pickle factory, so-called, we report here what was said in that report in connection with the matter :


"About the middle of the year the Selectmen learned that the Lewis pickle factory property near the railroad station was to be sold and, after consultation among themselves and with other prominent officials of the Town, it seemed advisable that this property be purchased for Town purposes because it was


27


well adapted to the uses to which it would be put. It had the possibility of having two desirable tenements which could be used to advantage in connection with the Highway and other departments of the Town and was centrally located.


"The question presented at once was whether a special Town Meeting should be called to present the matter and have the action of the Town recorded before purchase was made. It seemed best, however, that, if satisfactory arrangements could be made, the purchase should be completed at once and the necessary repairs made so that the different departments, which would use this building, could be transferred to it before the end of the year. This policy was adopted and the Chairman of the Board took title to the property on the payment of $4,200 and has since paid for improvements, alterations and repairs upwards of $10,000.


"The question now is whether the Town will own and con- trol this property at the actual cost, or take other action in con- nection with the matter. The officials have acted in the matter in entire good faith, believing that it is for the interests of the Town to own such accommodations as are provided by this purchase."


Our reasons for this belief are, that the location of this prop- erty is central ; it provides the Town with ample and convenient accommodation for the Highway Department, which never be- fore has had a permanent place; it also provides convenient accommodation for the Forestry and Moth Department ; there is also a large area of 1,100 sq. ft. which can, when necessity arises, with a minimum of expense, be used by the Fire De- partment and for the storage of transportation barges for the schools, the necessity for its use in this respect does not yet ap- pear, but whenever it does, this space is well adapted for such use. The necessity for such accommodations as are offered in this building will be, we believe, more and more apparent as the years go by.


With respect to the way the Town would be affected finan- cially should it purchase this building, is shown by the follow- ing statement. Previous to its purchase and use by two of


28


the important departments of the Town, it cost the Town an- nually $250 for rental, besides all the expense incurred for interior changes and repairs which were necessary for the ac- commodation of the Highway Department. The Forestry and Moth Department had various makeshifts for its accommo- dation, including in different years a part of the basement of the old schoolhouse in the center of the Town, part of the basement in the Town Hall, a small room in the barn which was rented by the Highway Department, and storage at various times in the sheds connected with the two churches in the center of the Town-a most unsatisfactory and expensive method of handling the business of that department.


The building under discussion offers as convenient and sat- isfactory arrangements for these two departments as can well be imagined, besides the available room for other departments above referred to, at a net cost to the Town of slightly less than obtained previously. Concretely the figures are as fol- lows :


The expense for annual rental for the Highway and Moth Departments and the storage of two. school barges previous to 1921 was. $250.00


The annual expense if present accommodations owned by the Town :- Interest at 4% on


$16,000


$640.00


Insurance 150.00


$790.00


Income from rental of two tene-


ments


600.00


$190.00


making an annual balance in favor of the Town, if it owned this building for a permanent home in place of the most un- satisfactory conditions heretofore existing, of approximately $50. This computation does not take into consideration the


29


loss which the Town would sustain on account of taxes, this is not an important item as, previous to the purchase by the Chairman of the Board, the property was assessed for only $2,000. The annual expense for upkeep of the premises will be very small and, barring accidents, will be in as good con- dition 100 years hence as at the present time.


It is true that when this property was purchased it was not expected that the total cost completed for use would be as much as it was, nevertheless, the Board believes that it is eco- nomy from every standpoint for the Town to have the room and accommodation which this purchase provides.


Taxation


The Legislature of 1919 passed an act by which the distribu- tion of the Income Tax collected by the State is made in such a way that the Town of Lincoln, and other towns similarly sit- uated, will have each year returned to it a smaller sum than the year previous. This is indicated by the following figures :


There was returned to the Town of Lincoln on account of the State Income Tax in 1917 - $42,469.81


1918 - 35,888.74 1919 - 33,812.55 1920 - - 26,069.26


1921 - 23,275.38


In the succeeding years this sum will be approximately cor- respondingly reduced each year and, unless legislation is passed which will restore some of the former payments to the Town of Lincoln and other towns similarly situated, or legislation is passed which will affect them financially favorably in some other way, it is clear that the real estate of the Town will have to furnish the money by taxation for the Town's needs. This can mean but one thing, as has been pointed out in the report of the Selectmen in previous years, and that is an increasingly


30


high tax rate. It is to be hoped that the Legislature will rea- lize that the legislation already passed is making the towns that were once rich, poor and that some remedial legislation will be passed.


It seems important, however, that while the Town has pay- ments from the State on account of the distribution of the Income Tax, it is well to expend reasonable sums for neces- sary and permanent improvements and that expenditures for things which the Town can well do without should be restricted to necessities.


Finances


There are outstanding of the original issue of $55,000 of Schoolhouse bonds $9,000 and there is in the hands of the Sinking Fund Commissioners upwards of $11,000 with which to liquidate these bonds when they are presented for payment.


The financial condition of the Town otherwise as on Jan- uary 1st, 1922, is as follows :


The outstanding bonded indebtedness on account of the Water Works is, as reported by the Treasurer, $64,000. The Sinking Fund, with which to retire the bonds at maturity, par value, is $29,000, leaving a net bonded indebtedness on ac- count of the Water Works of $35,000. There is in the Water Works treasury $472.64 and uncollected water rates of $600, making the total available cash for the Water Works treasury $1,072.64. The current indebtedness of the Water Board is $1,500, crediting the cash and uncollected water rates of $1,072.64 leaves the net indebtedness $427.36, exclusive of $4,712.00, which has been owed to the General Treasury for some years. .


The Treasurer reports cash in the General Fund of $5,553.19 and there are uncollected taxes of $5,273.94, or a total available cash of $10,827.13.


31


The available cash in the treasury of the Cemetery Depart- ment is $1,120.96.


The business of the Town, as conducted by the various de- partments, is in their reports and is printed herein.


Respectfully submitted,


CHARLES S. SMITH, JOHN F. FARRAR, ROBERT D. DONALDSON, Selectmen of Lincoln.
