REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS
The Water Commissioners respectfully submit the fol- lowing report :--
The pumps and pumping plant are in good condition. The pipe lines are all believed to be good except the one over Pierce's hill, which should be renewed at some early date. The Commissioners also intend to enclose the reser- voir at the boundary with a good fence.
The new pipe on Station Road was completed at a cost less than the original estimate and was paid for from sur- plus, the current year's earnings, and two notes of $5,000 and $4,000 respectively; the former to be paid off in 1928 and the latter in 1929. The Board plans and hopes to be able to meet its running expenses, interest, and sinking fund payments by this procedure, and then commence to build up some more surplus for future necessities and im- provements.
The plans for the new pipe line and services are being prepared. 88,770,000 gallons were pumped at a cost of $29.28 per million gallons, figured on salary and power expenses.
The following letter will explain the disagreeable taste and odor in the water this winter:
January 19, 1928.
To the Board of Water Commissioners,
Lincoln, Massachusetts.
Mr. Sumner Smith, Chairman.
Gentlemen :
In response to your request for advice relative to the cause of the objectionable taste and odor in the water of Sandy Pond in Lincoln, the Department has caused samples of the water of the pond to be analyzed.
50
The results of the examination show that the odor and taste in the water are probably caused by the presence of considerable numbers of the organism Dinobryon. This organism is known to cause disagreeable tastes and odors in the waters of ponds and reservoirs even when present in comparatively small numbers. The drinking of water containing such organisms is not known to be injurious to health, and it is probable that they will disappear from the water in a comparatively short time, but when they appear in the winter season they have been known to persist until the ice dis- appears from the reservoirs.
Respectfully,
GEORGE H. BIGELOW, M.D., Commissioner of Public Health.
SUMNER SMITH JOHN J. KELLIHER ROBERT R. HUNTER

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS
To the Board of Selectmen :-
I herewith submit the following report for the year end- ing December 31, 1927 :
During the months of January and February, owing to rather heavy snowfalls, this department spent most of the time handling snow work. However, during any spare time work was done on the shoulders of the state, county and town road.
In March ruts were filled in on the back roads with crushed stone and scraped. The hard surfaced roads we patched.
In April and May we put out oil and teamed sand for covering same.
In June finished putting out the oil and tarvia, then started work on building the state, county and town road from the Wayland line toward Concord.
During July, August and September work was contin- ued on this road.
In October we resumed patching the hard surfaced roads ; also built about 2,500 feet of tarvia bound road 18 feet wide near Mr. Moorfield Storey's residence.
During the months of November and December work was continued patching the hard surfaced roads, gutters on the hills were repaired where they were washed out,
55
dirt roads scraped, and culverts replaced. Snow fence was erected, and guard rail fence built.
This year I purchased 1,600 feet more of snow fence and placed it where I thought it would save a great deal of snow shovelling. We now have about 6,000 feet of this fence and still need more.
The amount appropriated for the maintenance of the Highway Department was $15,000 and the receipts nearly $11,000, making an approximate total of $26,000 available.
The amount expended for maintenance this year was ap- proximately as follows :
White truck
$ 4,800
Hay and grain
1,200
Supplies
10,300
Shoeing and repairs
750
Gas, oil, etc.
780
Sand and gravel
280
Snow work
2,100
Rent, water, light, etc.
500
Supt.'s salary, labor, etc.

$25,360
The amount for state, county and town road was ap- proximately . as follows :
Labor, etc.
$ 7,900
Supplies
10,000
Teams
2,150
Truck
950
Sand and gravel
500
Coal

$21,606
56
The condition of the Highway Department is about the same as last year with the exception of the addition of the new White truck. This has been very satisfactory both for the removal of snow and hauling sand and crushed stone.
The guide boards are in good condition, some having been newly painted and others replaced by new ones.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM H. SHERMAN, Superintendent of Streets.
