TOWN OF LINCOLN
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
The Board organized with Sumner Smith, Chairman and John Todd, Secretary. Appointments made by the Selectmen are printed with the list of Town Officers.
Baker Bridge
The State Department of Public Works informs the Select- men that the relocating and rebuilding of the Baker Bridge Railroad Crossing may be done in the near future. The project is very near the head of the list and will be started as soon as the Federal Government is ready to go ahead.
Town Dump
The Town is now paying $200.00 per year for the privilege of using land for a dump. The present arrangement is not altogether satisfactory, principally from a fire hazard and expense standpoint. A more suitable site has been sought without success and the Selectmen would welcome suggestions from anyone who knows of a possible new location.
Codman Grant
The traffic congestion on Lincoln Road at the Railroad Station and at St. Joseph's church has become serious. To relieve this situation it has been decided to widen the road starting just beyond the residence of Alfred M. Davis and continuing to the railroad tracks. The County Engineers surveyed the location and prepared a map of the proposed taking. The project was explained to Thomas Codman, Esq., who very generously agreed to give the land to the Town. The old wall is now being moved to the new boundary and the extent to which the land is developed for parking or road use depends upon the highway appropriation. It is planned to save as many trees as possible where they do not interfere with traffic or parking. The Selectmen express their apprecia- tion to Thomas Codman, Esq., for his co-operation and gener- osity in this matter.
31
REPORT OF SELECTMEN
1
Police
All the regular police duties of the Town are at present performed by one officer, Chief John J. Kelliher. He is on twenty-four hour duty and often works long periods at night. Under his protection the Town has been fortunate to suffer very little from acts against law and order. However, it is believed that the Town needs additional protection especially in these times when danger from auto and tire thefts is rapidly increasing. Accordingly, the Selectmen recommended to the Finance Committee that the Police Appropriation for the year 1942 be increased to permit another police officer to be em- ployed, primarily at night. The Finance Committee has ap- proved this request and the amount recommended in their report provides for this additional officer.
Public Safety
Mr. George G. Tarbell was originally appointed by the Governor as Chairman of the Lincoln Committee on Public Safety. A committee was appointed by Mr. Tarbell whose principal duty was to watch for subversive activities. Mr. Tarbell was forced to resign when be became a member of the Executive Committee of the State Public Safety Committee. Mr. Sumner Smith was then appointed as the chairman of the Lincoln committee and an organization was set up as recom- mended by the State Committee. After the Pearl Harbor episode, the duties of the office became so complex that it was deemed advisable to distribute the work as much as possible. Mr. Smith resigned and Mr. William N. Page was recom- mended by the Selectmen as his successor. Mr. Page has entered into his job very diligently and the work of organiza- tion is being rapidly performed. In the report of the Finance Committee it is recommended that $1000.00 be appropriated for the expenses of this committee.

TOWN OF LINCOLN
REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
In submitting recommendations of appropriations for the year 1942, the Finance Committee wishes to make a state- ment of the policy which has been the basis of its decisions.
The nation is at war - fighting the most powerful com- bination of enemies in the world's history. There are only two possible results - victory or the total extinction of the United States. Victory is assured only by the effort and sacri- fice of the entire nation. Action by individuals or by groups of citizens which constitute our towns should be scrutinized in the light of this question -"Will it help win the war?"
This is a war of production. Shortages in raw materials and skilled labor are already serious. The economic side of the picture is also vital, though secondary. The cost of war will be staggering. Federal taxes will create a serious problem for many Lincoln families. The decreased income of the Com- monwealth from reduced gas tax must be made up by taxation on cities and towns. The estimate of increased state taxation looms large.
Therefore, we recommend to the citizens of Lincoln that the activities of all Town departments be cut to the point of bare necessity for reasonable maintenance of existing services and to safeguard the health and safety of our citizens and that the purchase of additional equipment and all new construction of whatever nature be postponed. The Town must give careful consideration to the fact that possible serious economic loss to the Commonwealth will so upset our municipal economy that it may be necessary to cut major items of expenditure in the future.
To the Town departments we extend our thanks for their wholehearted co-operation.
We respectfully submit our report herewith :---

The recommendations by the Finance Committee are $7,456.00 lower than 1941. The following comments are made on all changes amounting to more than $500.00:
Schools - Last year the School appropriation included a heater for the South School. Taking into consideration this non-recurring item, this year's school budget is increased over $2,000.00, principally accounted for by an addition of $1,000.00 on the salary account. A clerk was employed due to Superin- tendent Holloran's absence. The other additions are normal
34
TOWN OF LINCOLN
increases. The balance is accounted for by increased cost of fuel, supplies, operating expenses, and repairs.
Vocational Training - Decreased $840.00 because of fewer pupils.
To Machinery Fund - Decreased $700.00 because less ma- chinery is to be purchased in 1942.
Highways Chapter 90 - Decreased $1,500.00. No allow- ance was made for new construction because of probability of no State allotment.
Fire Department - Increased $1,200.00. Due to the emer- gency it is recommended that extra hose and minor items be purchased and to make an allowance for increased labor charges.
Police Department - Increased $1,607.50 because of the recommendation by the Selectmen of an additional man on the force.
Town Hall - Decreased $862.00, due to non-recurring item of a new furnace which was requested in 1941. Due to con- ditions, the old heater was repaired.
Reserve Fund - Increased $1,000.00. As the Reserve Fund is to be taken from the Overlay Reserve, there will be no effect upon the tax rate, but this increase is recommended because of present uncertain conditions.
Public Welfare - Decreased $1,200.00 because of fewer cases.
Veterans' Aid - Decreased $500.00 because of fewer cases.
Old Age Assistance - Apparent saving of $3,404.00 is due to the unexpended federal grants. Cash from the Federal Government is unexpended and therefore a credit to the year's operations. Actually, there will be a slight increase in the cost over last year.
Aid to Dependent Children - Decreased $850.00 because of fewer cases.
It is impossible at this writing to figure the tax rate even approximately due to the uncertainty of receipts from the

Commonwealth and the amount of State tax which it will be necessary for us to pay. It is planned, however, to present these figures at the Town Meeting.

36
TOWN OF LINCOLN
REPORT OF BUREAU OF OLD AGE ASSISTANCE
Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
On January 1, 1941, twenty-three cases were receiving Old Age Assistance under Chapter 118 A, General Laws, as amended. During the year three new cases were added, two applications for assistance denied and four cases closed, two because of death and two because the recipients moved out of Lincoln, making a total of twenty-six cases aided during the year 1941. Payments were also made to other cities and towns where Lincoln settled cases were aided. On December 31, 1941, twenty-two cases were receiving relief, settled as follows: Lincoln 15, other cities and towns 2, no settlement 5. The four cases closed during the year were settled as follows: Lincoln 2, other cities and towns 1, no settlement 1.
Because of unused federal grants for the years 1936 and 1937, amounting to approximately $3,000.00, which is spent without an appropriation and can only be used for the granting of Old Age Assistance, the appropriation requested for the year 1942 is $3,376.00 as compared to $6,780.00 for the year 1941. This reduction is an artificial one since it reduces the cash in the Town Treasury the same as any amount voted to be taken from free cash. The total of expenditures for aid during 1942 is expected to increase slightly over the 1941 expenditures.
Respectfully submitted,
ANTHONY DOHERTY, Chairman, JOHN J. KELLIHER, OTTO HAGMANN.

REPORT OF THE SKATING RINK COMMITTEE
REPORT OF THE SKATING RINK COMMITTEE
Selectmen of Lincoln:
Gentlemen:
The Town Meeting of March 3, 1941, authorized the School Committee and the Planning Board to jointly investigate the possibilities of a skating rink for the children of the Town.
Several meetings were held and every known waterway that lay within three-fourths of a mile from the school was visited. The four main considerations were parking, accessibility, supply of water, and safety.
The meadow on Weston Road owned by Dr. DeNormandie proved to be the best location and was most generously offered for that use by the owner. A dam was erected at no cost to the town. The Boy Scouts cleared a fair-sized plot and the Fire Department under Mr. Doherty's supervision burned the meadow.
Unfortunately due to the inclemency of the weather the place was not flooded early enough to be of real value this year. We hope, however, to create a satisfactory place for skating another year.
The Committee felt that the most valuable suggestions should be based on actual experience. Therefore, we went somewhat further than the recommendation. It is the Committee's suggestion that next year an early clean-up and snow removal be considered on this site.
