REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS
To the Board of Selectmen:
I hereby submit the following report for the year ending December 31, 1933:
In January and February, after finishing the snow work and sanding the icy roads, most of the time was spent digging out along the sides of the Bedford road to widen same.
During the month of March the men were digging out the sides of the road and building a wall near the schoolhouse.
In the month of April the men were patching practically all of the roads, putting gravel on the Old Bedford Road and Mill Street, and putting in culverts where needed.
Most of the month of May was spent scraping the roads, cleaning up the edges, and getting them ready for oiling.
In June and July sand was teamed the first part of these months. The rest of the time was spent putting out tarvia and oil, and covering the same with sand.
In August we blasted out rocks on the Bedford Road, dug out the loam, and used gravel for widening; then as a finish oiled the road.
In September more work was done widening the Bedford Road, patching other roads, and starting work on the Chapter 90 roads, filling in on the Garfield Hill, etc.
In October and November the men worked on the Chapter 90 roads, filling in the sides of the curves, to straighten them out.
During December we finished the work on the Chapter 90 roads, put up some guard rail fence, and the last part of the month worked on the Silver Hill and Brooks Roads.
The Highway department is in about the same condition as last year.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM H. SHERMAN.

REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
The Water Works are out of current and funded debt for the first time in their existence, and had a cash balance of about $22,000 notwithstanding that the Town was presented with water last year which regularly cost over $2,000 and also that a 15% discount was allowed on bills paid prior to October 15th, provided all old accounts were satisfied. It is expected that the same or perhaps larger discount will be maintained in the future.
By employing various means of collection many old accounts have been reduced or paid up until the amount of uncollected bills has commenced to shrink for the first time in many years. While this progress is encouraging, pressure on collections must be maintained continually or the present gain will soon be lost.
The Board recommends that the sum of $10,000 be included in the budget for the purpose of replacing the old pump with a new one.
The Board also recommends that $7,500 be included in the budget for the purpose of replacing 4-inch pipe with larger pipe in parts of the pipe system where the Board judges the new pipe will give the most benefit to the most clients in the matter of pressure and fire protection.
With this end in view, the Board used the unexpended balance of last year's budget in laying 1,104 feet of 8-inch pipe down old Lexington Road as a preliminary move toward helping Flint Road and East Lincoln pressure.
Permanent map work is a matter of six years behind, and as this is a very important item for the future managers of the system, the Board recommends that $500 be included in the budget for this purpose, and that the Town emphasize that the work be done this year.
The Board itemizes the following budget which is recom- mended to be appropriated for 1934:

REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH FOR 1933
The Board met on March 28 in order to elect officers for the ensuing year. Dr. DeNormandie was elected chairman, and Mr. Conant was elected secretary. Mrs. Marion Ober was appointed agent, Mr. J. J. Kelliher was nominated inspector of slaughtering and later was confirmed by the Department of Public Health.
During the year the following diseases, as required by law, were reported to the Board: Chicken pox, 41; measles, 1; German measles, 1; whooping cough, 6; dog bite, 3.
The Chadwick Clinic for diagnosis of tuberculosis in chil- dren was held in November, with most satisfactory results.
At the present time 399 cattle in 42 herds have been tested for tuberculosis and are now under State and Federal super- vision. Lincoln has not yet been declared an accredited area, and it is to be hoped that in the coming year it will become accredited.
Doctor McGlinchey has acted as inspector of milk. Licenses were granted to the following farms to retail milk: Floyd Verrill, H. L. Stone, Glendale Farm Dairy, Higginson Farm, Cedar Hill Farm, DeNormandie Farm, Woodridge Farm, and to the following stores: C. E. Philbrook, G. P. Kimball, R. Hodgson, Dud's Place, A. Donosky, J. H. Corliss, A. E. Fernald, Sarah Horne and James A. Bustead. One pas- teurizing plant was relicensed. One license to retail milk was refused because of inadequate equipment.
One undertaker was licensed.
114
Permits to sell denatured alcohol were granted to the Doherty, Rice, and Reed and Burns Garages.
A total of 66 samples of milk were taken from the dealers and at all times the milk was found to be of low bacteria count (not over 15,000), and with satisfactory fats and solids.
The secretary has given to the Town Treasurer $21.00 received from licenses.
The Board has given much thought to the supervision and regulation of the piggeries. The conditions in some of the piggeries are unsatisfactory. It does not appear that we can obtain better conditions unless we seek court action. Court action may be expensive, and unless the Town specifically authorizes us to, we shall not take it except in serious breaches of our regulations. The licenses of two piggeries have been held in abeyance. Licenses were granted to the following: Manuel Silva, 500 pigs; John Connors, 600; Cornelius Shea, 400; John Wilson, 50; Nicholas Cotoni, 30; J. H. McHugh, 30, Boyce Brothers, 90.
For 1934 we ask for an appropriation of $2,200.
Respectfully submitted, ROBERT L. DENORMANDIE, ROBERT D. DONALDSON, RICHARD K. CONANT.

REPORT OF CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS
During the year, in addition to the usual general care of the three cemeteries in Lincoln, the three cornered cemetery at the junction of the Lexington and Trapelo Roads has been greatly improved in appearance by a careful trimming of the high arbor vitae hedge, trimming of the trees at the entrance, and a thorough raking and cleaning.
The 1933 appropriation of $600 did not permit of the grad- ing of the roads in the New Cemetery as recommended in our report for 1932 but this work has recently been started under a C W A grant and will be completed shortly.
We are frequently in receipt of complaints that the one water faucet at the entrance to the New Cemetery does not satisfactorily meet the convenience and requirements of the people of Lincoln and that the distances to the far corners of the cemetery from this one faucet are unreasonably long. While we do not feel that we should recommend at this time the expenditure of the amount necessary to install additional faucets, we should be glad to have the question discussed at the annual meeting in March. To lay approximately 600 feet of 2-inch pipe with two more faucets would cost about $500.
It is planned during the coming spring to plant a number of trees in the Wheeler lot addition to the New Cemetery and to put the fence at the entrance to the Arbor Vitae Cemetery in good condition.
For general care in the three cemeteries during 1934 we recommend an appropriation of $600.

REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
South Lincoln, January 3, 1934.
To the Board of Selectmen:
The Board of Fire Engineers herewith submit their twenty- sixth Annual Report ending December 31, 1933.

TREE WARDEN'S REPORT
The Tree Warden submits a brief report of the work done on the trees, and against the gypsy and brown-tail moths for the year ending December 30, 1933.
The work has been carried on as in former years, removing dead trees, dead limbs, and limbs obstructing the highways, and also the cutting of brush and thinning on several of the roads was done this year where it interfered with public travel. As we have a good many miles of narrow roads in Lincoln, our work cannot be confined to any one section, but we do try to keep our highways passable and safe for the public.
The scarcity of the elm leaf beetle has been quite noticeable the past several years, however, the punctured leaves on elm trees in several places indicate their presence again and the necessity of spraying with arsenate of lead as soon as there is foliage enough on the trees to hold the poison.
The method used in handling the gypsy moth was prac- tically the same as in past years - creosoting the egg clusters on trees along the roadsides and omitting again this year the spraying. However, in some parts of the town we found an increase in the number of egg clusters in woodland from that of last year.
The total expenditure of this department for 1933 is $1,289.80. I recommend that $800.00 be appropriated for tree-work and $500.00 for moth work this year.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN J. KELLIHER.

REPORT OF LINCOLN NURSING COMMITTEE
January 1, 1933 - December 31, 1933
By a vote passed at the annual Town Meeting in March, 1928, the supervision of the health nurse was "vested in a committee of three, one a member of the Board of Health, chosen by that Board, one a member of the School Committee, chosen by that Committee, and one chosen by the Board of Selectmen." This year the committee consisted of Doctor DeNormandie, chosen by the Board of Health, Mrs. Herman, chosen by the School Committee, and Mr. Donaldson, chosen by the Selectmen. Mrs. Herman was elected chairman.
During the year January 1 to December 31, 1933, the nurse made 1,609 calls. This, however, does not include any of her school work, which appears in her report as school nurse. Sub-divided, these calls are as follows: Medical, 699; surgical, 88; maternity, 48; child welfare, 222; board of health, 100; taking of patients to hospitals or doctors' offices, 10; collect- ing fees for the dental clinic, 51; school census, 227; town welfare, 164.
The nurse has collected for her visits $404.05, which has been handed to the Town Treasurer.
The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company notified the committee in May that it was discontinuing its service in Lincoln on June 16, 1933, owing to the relatively small number of policyholders in the Town.
Through the generosity of the Lincoln Chapter of the Red Cross in donating $200, a new car was purchased for the nurse's use. The balance of the cost of the car was charged to the Board of Health. This car was delivered to her on April 8.
121
This year the amount of welfare work that the nurse has done has increased a great deal, and until the present economic condition has improved there seems no reason to think that it will immediately be lessened. This, the committee believes, it is right to include in the nurse's work, for it is surely part of the welfare of the Town. The committee, however, feels that it should call the attention of the citizens to the fact that jitney work is not a part of the nurse's work, and only in cases of necessity and emergency should she be asked to take patients to hospitals.
Respectfully submitted,
GLADYS DEY. HERMAN, ROBERT D. DONALDSON, ROBERT L. DENORMANDIE.
122
REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS FOR 1933
To the Board of Selectmen:
For two reasons the number of cattle in Lincoln has decreased. One is the State has made a general Tuberculin test in the Town and as a result quite a few cattle have reacted and have been destroyed. Where reactors have been found, the State requires a thorough cleaning and disinfecting if the owner expects any remuneration from the State and Federal government. The other is some of our dairymen owing to unsatisfactory prices of milk have disposed of their cattle. This year I find 410 cattle, a decrease of 95 over last year.
The State has been making a general clean up and disin- fecting of barns where the owner was willing. If the owner was not willing, he was requested to sign a paper showing that he had a chance to have a clean up. This work was done under the C. W. A. act.
Swine 3,790 and in spite of the fact that the price of hogs has been lower than ever known before the number seems to be on the increase. Sheep 29. Goats seem to have become extinct.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN F. FARRAR, Inspector of Animals.
123
REPORT OF THE MIDDLESEX COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE
The following is a report of the work developed in Lincoln during the year 1933, by the Middlesex County Extension Service.
Considerable interest has been shown this year by the farmers of Lincoln in fruit growing and market gardening. Many home visits were requested to give help with individual problems. Sectional and county-wide meetings were held which were well attended by local farmers.
The Storrow estate (James B. David, manager) was success- ful in producing apples clean enough to make the Massachu- setts 90% Clean Apple Club.
A county bee keepers meeting was held at the Walter E. Copeland farm, which created a great deal of interest.
A spray service was maintained throughout the year, and other information sent out on the culture and marketing of apples.
Local dairymen have been interested in the problem of marketing milk, and have attended county meetings for this purpose.
Farm visits were made to assist in the growing of alfalfa, dairy replacements, and among poultrymen, to assist in disease control.
Lincoln has been an active town as far as Extension work with homemakers is concerned. There are three groups carry- ing the homemakers' day program, one child guidance group, and two groups in children's coat and hat making.
124
The leaders for the various groups located in Lincoln Center, Baker Bridge, and North Lincoln are: Mrs. Harold Cousins, Mrs. James Powers, Mrs. W. C. Pierce, Mrs. E. H. Davison, Miss Sara Brooks, Mrs. Hugh Conary, Mrs. A. W. Hanlon, Mrs. A. S. Brooks, Mrs. M. H. Doherty, Mrs. William Pierce, Mrs. R. W. Rogers, Mrs. W. F. Yoemans, Mrs. V. B. Brown, and Mrs. Patrick F. Lennon.
The splendid co-operation and leadership of the late Mrs. W. B. Rockwell are keenly missed by her friends, and the Extension Service feels that it has lost a loyal supporter.
Boys and girls 4-H Club work was carried on during the year under the chairmanship of Mrs. Guilbert Winchell. Garden, clothing, poultry and canning projects were carried on, with Mrs. Matthew Doherty, Arthur Powers, Clifford Bowles, Mrs. D. L. Hamilton, and H. S. Cousins as leaders.
The garden club this year had an especially fine program which included talks by a number of experts, trips to well- planned gardens, and a tour of 4-H gardens. The Lincoln Club invited club members from other towns to these pro- grams.
Mrs. D. L. Hamilton attended the state local leaders' camp at the Massachusetts State College in Amherst. Several club members spent a week at the Middlesex 4-H Camp.
Bettie Fisher, Marguerite Burns, and Myrna Huntley took part in the county dress revue.
The 4-H Clubs invited other towns to display 4-H exhibits at the Lincoln Fair. Lincoln won the cup this year for the best all-town exhibit, in competition with two other com- munities.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE LINCOLN LIBRARY
Your Trustees submit on the following pages the reports of the Treasurer and of the Librarian for the year ending December 31, 1933.
During the past year we have made every effort to limit expenditures. The comparatively large balance held by the Treasurer is due to the fact that no coal was paid for during the fiscal year. Fewer books have been purchased than in past years. Repairs and supplies have been held to a mini- mum.
The re-cataloging is approximately two-thirds completed and we recommend that this work be finished during the coming year. For this and the ordinary expenses of operation with a small increase in the items for books and repairs we ask for an appropriation of $981.28 plus the dog tax for the year ensuing.
Nineteen hundred and thirty-four marks the fiftieth anni- versary of the dedication of the Library. We plan to observe this anniversary in some fitting manner during the year.
