REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS


REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS


For the past two years the Town has lacked the required mileage necessary to receive State aid under Chapter 81. This loss to the Town amounts to from $4,000.00 to $5,000.00 yearly, and has necessarily had a decided effect upon the condition of the highways.


During 1936 about $2,000.00 was spent for tar and oil, but it was enough to catch only the worst spots, and due to lack of funds no constructive or progressive work was accom- plished in this line.


Considerable drainage work was done, and still remains to be done. Seven new culverts were put in, four were repaired and one side drain was laid. The WPA also put in three new culverts.


Conant Road was started by the WPA, as a "Farm to Market" project. About half of this road was widened to eighteen feet and gravelled, giving us a good start towards a permanent improvement.


A number of new warning signs were placed; some at Baker's Bridge, and some on South Great Road, and we plan in 1937 to add a number of much needed directional signs throughout the Town.


A new Chevrolet dump truck was bought in November and already it is proving invaluable for small jobs and for hand shovelling.


On the Chapter 90 work our principal job was cutting off the curve and widening South Great Road by Farrar's Lake. We also repaired Gately's corner and widened the curve opposite Kofford's house. Cable guard rail was put up on Garfield Hill and at the widening job by Farrar's Lake.


With an increased appropriation we plan to work out a program for the progressive betterment of our roads.


Respectfully submitted,


EDMUND W. GILES, Superintendent of Streets.

TOWN OF LINCOLN


REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS


The positions of the pipe system with the lowest pressure at present are :


1. All North Lincoln beyond Wheeler's Corner.


2. Lexington Road beyond Flint's to the Farrington Memorial.


3. East Lincoln beyond Pollard's, continuing along Cam- bridge Water Basin up Trapelo Road to the end of the line.


Inasmuch as the North Lincoln section is not adaptable to a loop connection, as are the other two, and because at present North Lincoln is enjoying the most rapid growth, the Water Commissioners recommend that the Town vote to renew with a larger pipe the old pipe from Wheeler's Corner to North Great Road, and that a PWA project be applied for.


There was only one report of unclean water last year.


Respectfully submitted,


SUMNER SMITH, JOHN J. KELLIHER, SIDNEY MACRAE.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH


REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH


On March 16, 1936, the Board met and elected Dr. DeNor- mandie chairman and Mr. Conant clerk for the ensuing year. Mrs. Ober was appointed nurse and agent, and Dr. Mc- Glinchey milk inspector. Mr. J. J. Kelliher was nominated inspector of slaughtering to the Department of Public Health, and later this nomination was confirmed. Dr. DeNormandie was appointed to the Nursing Committee.


The following diseases dangerous to the public health were reported : chickenpox, 23; whooping cough, 18; scarlet fever, 13; mumps, 13; dog bite, 3; lobar pneumonia, 2; gonorrhea, 2; measles, 1; cerebrospinal meningitis, 1; typhoid fever, 1. The typhoid fever case was undoubtedly contracted outside of Lincoln. Unfortunately it has to be recorded as coming from Lincoln because the patient was sent to the hospital from the town.


Permits to sell denatured alcohol were granted to 3 garages.


Licenses to retail milk were granted to the following farms and companies: Woodridge Farm, Grassland Farm, DeNor- mandie Farm, Cedar Hill Dairy, H. L. Stone Company, Whiting Milk Company, M. Dalrymple, and Foster Bunker. Licenses were granted to the following stores or roadside stands to sell milk: The Waltham, The Lincoln, Aunt Sadie's, Ruth's Stand, Fernald's Road Stand, Dud's Place, and E. A. Rollins.


The two pasteurizing plants in the town were relicensed.


The usual monthly examinations of the milk were made and the samples were all found to be well within the legal requirements. Six licenses were granted to transport garbage through the Town.


Licenses were granted to the following piggeries: John N. Connors, 600; Manuel Silva, 500; Louis W. Dean, 500; Cor- nelius Shea, 400; Boyce Brothers, 100; John Wilson, 100; E. S. Coburn, 75; John E. McHugh, 50; Nicholas Cotoni, 50.


Last year we reported that legal measures had been insti- tuted against one piggery. Just before the matter came to trial the owner of this piggery agreed to the stipulations of


104


TOWN OF LINCOLN


the Board, and he has lived up to them during the present year.


The Town at the Annual Meeting last year adopted a by-law restraining all dogs from running at large within the limits of the Town unless inoculated against rabies. As re- quired by law, this by-law was at once submitted to the Attorney General for approval. Months went by and we could get no decision. It was not until July 29 that we heard anything about it, when the by-law was disallowed. The letter disallowing this by-law was recalled by telephone for further consideration by the Attorney General's office. On September 18, we finally received word from the Attorney General's office that the by-law was approved. It was then so late in the year that it was thought best to postpone the inoculation of the dogs until the next year, in order to have the inoculations and the licenses run concurrently. The dog licenses are due to be paid on the first of April of each year, and the Board has now decided to hold clinics for the inocu- lation of all dogs on April 17 and 24. Information regarding these clinics will be given to all dog owners in due time.


Respectfully submitted,


ROBERT L. DENORMANDIE, ROBERT D. DONALDSON, RICHARD K. CONANT.

REPORT OF CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS


REPORT OF CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS (1936)


The usual general care was given the three cemeteries in Lincoln and additional work was done as follows:


At the Arbor Vitae Cemetery the hedge was trimmed on the Trapelo Road side and the trees were trimmed and all dead wood removed. Twelve headstones were straightened and reset and four pillow markers were raised and reset. The roads in the New Cemetery which had never been oiled were scraped to remove weeds. The cemetery at the Town Hall was raked and cleaned of all undergrowth and several headstones were straightened and reset.


The New Cemetery contains 470 lots of which 200 have been sold.


There were eight burials in the New Cemetery and one in the Arbor Vitae Cemetery in 1936. Two lots were sold in the New Cemetery in 1936.


For general care in the three cemeteries during 1937, we ask for an appropriation of $600.00. In addition to this we recommend that funds be appropriated for special work in 1937 as follows:


Replacing dead evergreen trees and planting 150 more evergreens, cutting underbrush and removing dead wood in the New Cemetery, $200.00


Scraping, oiling and repairing roads in the New Cemetery $200.00.


Twenty yards of loam with fertilizer and grass seed for cemetery at the Town Hall and labor in filling holes and grading $100.00.


We recommend also that the sections of small iron pipe used as lot markers in the New Cemetery be replaced with cement blocks having lot numbers on top.


There should be a building at the New Cemetery suitable for housing cemetery equipment and materials.

TREE WARDEN'S REPORT


I herewith submit my report for the year 1936. The work of this department has been carried on in much the same manner as the past years. Dead limbs and tress have been removed from the roadsides and brush has been cut. We were able to obtain Works Progress Administration projects for trimming trees and cleaning up the roadside brush. The work was done on the following roads: Nelson Road, Bedford Lane, Bedford Road, Lincoln Road to Blod- gett's Corner and Codman Road. Another WPA project was obtained for Gypsy Moth Control but we were unable to start this project until the middle of December. The work to be performed will consist of creosoting gypsy moth egg nests and thinning out the breeding and feeding places of these insect pests.
