TOWN OF LINCOLN
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
The Board was organized with Sumner Smith, Chairman, and Robert D. Donaldson, Jr., Secretary.
The appointments made by the Selectmen are printed with the list of Town Officers.
Traffic Light at Intersection of Bedford Road and Concord Turnpike
The hazardous traffic conditions at the intersection of Bed- ford Road and the Concord Turnpike still remain. At a hear- ing on November 4, 1935, before two members of the State Highway Commission it was agreed that the intersection was dangerous enough to warrant a stop light. This decision was subsequently changed.
The Board of Selectmen have since communicated with the State Engineers in an effort to have adequate traffic control installed but have been advised that there are other places in the Commonwealth in greater need of lights than this inter- section and the Engineers do not feel justified in spending money in Lincoln when their surveys indicate that other com- munities need it more. However, if Lincoln is willing to con- tribute approximately one-half of the cost, the State Engineers feel that they can justify appropriating the balance. Lincoln's share would be somewhere between $900.00 and $1,000.00. If the Town wishes to take action on the matter it can do so under Article No. 19 in the Town Warrant.
Baker Bridge
The traffic conditions at Baker Bridge together with the general conditions of the bridge have caused the Board of Selectmen some concern. The matter has been taken up with the Boston and Maine Railroad, the Middlesex County Commissioners, and the Massachusetts Department of Public Works. The Department of Public Works has advised the Selectmen that certain Federal funds have been allotted to Massachusetts for use on railroad grade crossings and bridges and it is quite possible that some of these funds may be
25
REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN
available for completely rebuilding Baker Bridge. We shall know definitely within two months whether any of this money will be available this year.
Condition of Town Hall
Bids were received from two roofers to recement part of the brick walls which had been water damaged, and patch the roof. The work was let to the firm which had done work for the Town before, with not altogether satisfactory results be- cause the roof still leaks at times. In the past twenty years a few thousand dollars has been spent on the roof without making it tight, and the opinion has been given that the slate shingles should be removed and reset, or else reshingle with regular fire resisting shingles. The Selectmen hesitate to recommend such an expenditure, but it may have to be done before leaks are all stopped.
The two hot-air furnaces which heat the upper hall are not used as much as they used to be, but are at about the end of their service.
Works Progress Administration
The work done under this program for the year 1937 con- sisted of two projects (1) Widening and draining Page Road and (2) Gypsy Moth Control. The moth work was done during the winter being discontinued in the spring when the egg nests began to hatch. The road work was continued until July when WPA aid was withdrawn from the Town because of the improvement in employment conditions. Thirteen men were employed at the start of the year. This number was gradually reduced to nine when WPA work ceased.
In December, with an increased welfare burden, a request was made to the State WPA director for resumption of WPA work. A quota of five was promised but because of WPA red tape these men have not yet been assigned to work.
Under the WPA program the Federal Government pays the wages of the men employed and the Town furnishes ma- terials, equipment and supervision. A moth control project is expected to be started in January.
26
TOWN OF LINCOLN
Aid to Dependent Children
Under the provisions of the General Laws, Tercentenary Edition, Chapter 118 as amended by Chapter 413 of the Acts of 1936, three cases were aided during the year. One case consisted of three children and the other two of one child each. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts reimburses the Town for one third of the amount expended and the Federal Government makes grants to the State which are ap- portioned to the various cities and towns. These grants have amounted to $5.20 per month per child. One case of one child was closed in December, making a total of two cases and four children being aided December 31, 1937.
Welfare
During 1937 ten resident cases consisting of a total of forty- one persons were given assistance under the provisions of the General Laws, Tercentenary Edition, Chapter 118. Pay- ments were also made to the State, cities and towns where Lincoln settled cases had been aided. In cases where prac- ticable, the recipients of assistance were given work in amount equal to their welfare orders. Food, fuel and provisions were given in preference to cash, since when cash is given it is often used for purposes other than those intended.
With the business recession the welfare problem has become more serious but is expected to be relieved by the WPA program.
Acknowledgment is hereby made to the Lincoln Chapter of the American Red Cross for their assistance and co-operation in welfare matters.
