REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS
To the Board of Selectmen:
I herewith submit the following report for the year ending December 31, 1932:
In January we worked most of the time on the Turnpike teaming gravel for widening out the side and building fences.
February, March, and April were spent in doing the snow work, teaming sand, working on Tower Road digging out the side to widen the same and patched most of the roads.
In May and June most of the roads were scraped with a Power Grader, tarvia and oil was put on the same and covered with sand.
July and August was spent on Trapelo Road, Winter Street and Tower Road scarifying the surface with the steam roller, grading the roads, rolling them down and putting on oil and sand. We teamed gravel to fill up the low places, etc.
The most of September was spent on the South Great Road teaming gravel for filling on the side of Garfield Hill and building cable guard rail fence.
In October and November we patched the roads, teamed gravel to Storrow Road, built fences and put in several culverts where needed.
Most of December was spent on Bedford Road, digging out the stones and widening the same, blasting ledge, etc., on Coburn Road, and hauling gravel to the Ball Field Road.
The Highway Department is in about the same condition as last year, with the exception of a small truck purchased by the Town to be used by this department.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM H. SHERMAN.

REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
The Water Commissioners submit the following report:
The large pump, reservoir, and main pipe lines are in good condition. The small pump still works well, but might give out suddenly. The Board is investigating new pumps to determine if their general efficiency would make it profitable to replace the old one.
The pipe renewal from the reservoir entrance to Wheeler's Corner cost $3,300.00, running over the appropriation $300.00; and the extension to the new playground cost $1,200.00, running over the appropriation $200.00. Both jobs were done as nearly as possible by inhabitants who were out of work, at a time when they were unlikely to find work. This accounts for the cost being a little above the estimate. No renewals are recommended this year unless the Town wishes to use surplus cash of the Water Works to employ labor on renewals.
Maps should be completed for pipe work done the past four years.

REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH (1932)
The Board met for organization soon after the Annual Town Meeting and re-elected Doctor Mackenzie as Chairman, Mr. Conant as Secretary, Mrs. Dorothy Snelling as Agent, and Doctor McGlinchey as Milk Inspector. Mr. J. J. Kelliher was renominated as Inspector of Slaughtering and subse- quently confirmed by the State Board. During the summer Mrs. Snelling resigned as Public Health nurse and in con- formity with the arrangement that has existed for several years her successor, Mrs. Marian Ober, was appointed Agent.
During April an epidemic of measles started in the South School and there were 24 cases in Grades 1 and 2. This accounts for the only unusual situation encountered during the year in the control of communicable diseases. The following were reported to the Board as required by law :

Two (2) piggeries were discontinued during the year and the permits for four others were held in abeyance until the contentions of objectors are proven or disproven, or until the regulations of the Board are complied with.
The Board believes an appropriation of $1,600 will be sufficient for the coming year unless the Town sees fit to replace the Health Nurse's car at this time.

REPORT OF THE CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS
During the past year no new work has been undertaken in the three cemeteries in Lincoln but the usual general care has been given, the roads in the New Cemetery have been scraped, some brush and undergrowth have been cleaned out and trees and shrubs trimmed.
For the coming year your Commissioners recommend that the roads in the New Cemetery be graded, using gravel from a convenient bank in the cemetery grounds, and that they be oiled, so that weed growth will be kept down and the roads made passable during the winter and spring months. They also recommend further cleaning out of underbrush in the wooded sections and trimming of trees.
To take care of this work and for general care your Com- missioners ask for an appropriation of $600 and further recommend an additional $400 to be taken from the cemetery funds, this $400 to be expended in giving work in the ceme- teries to unemployed men in the Town, under the direction of the Cemetery Commissioners.
