SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS
Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
During the past year we had only a moderate amount of snow and ice. This was handled in the customary way.
In the summer months work was carried on by repairing, re-surfacing and grading roads in the town and much time was given over to widening the curve on Mill Street; also two drains were installed, one in front of the Lincoln School on Lincoln Road, the other on Upland Fields Road. These two drains were badly needed and were completed successfully.
Chapter 90 work was not carried on this year in the same manner as previous years due to the fact that time, labor and materials were not available. We did, however, cut brush, scraped and cleaned the roads and painted fences.
No appropriation for new equipment was requested in 1944, this means, of course, that what equipment we now have must be kept in working order by being constantly repaired until it can be replaced with new equipment. Therefore the annual cost for repairs will gradually increase as the equip- ment becomes older. Parts for the different machines are becoming very difficult to obtain, so the outlook for main- tenance and repairs of equipment is not too encouraging.
Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS COAN, Superintendent of Streets.
120
TOWN OF LINCOLN
REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
The Board organized with the choice of Sumner Smith as Chairman.
In spite of the shortage of labor the routine and repair work was carried on during the year. Difficulty is still being ex- perienced with the gates. It was necessary to dig out three gates during the year.
The Board received two applications for water for agricul- tural purposes, which were denied because of the continued low level of Sandy Pond. One denial was used against the Town by the defendant in the Halloran contempt suit, but the court upheld the regulations of the Board regarding limiting the use of water.
The Board estimates the following budget for 1945:
Power

1,225 00

TOWN OF LINCOLN
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH FOR 1944
To the Board of Selectmen:
At the town election in March, 1944, Dr. Paul Norton was elected to the Board of Health for 3 years. On March 15, a meeting was held to organize for the year. Dr. DeNormandie was elected chairman. Mr. Brinkerhoff was elected clerk and was appointed a member of the nursing committee. Mrs. Ober was appointed agent of the Board. Mr. John J. Kelleher was nominated inspector of slaughtering, the nomination later being confirmed by the Department of Public Health.
Six licenses were granted for the transportation of garbage through the town.
The following piggeries were licensed: Manuel Silva, 500; Louis Dean, 500; Boyce Brothers, 100; John Wilson, 100; E. S. Coburn, 75; John McHugh, 50; Nicholas Cotoni, 50.
At the end of July it was discovered that Henry J. Halloran of Cambridge had moved 2,500 pigs into the old Conners piggery without a permit. Legal action was at once instituted against him. The result of this action is found in the report of the Selectmen.
Licenses for the sale of milk were granted to 7 dealers and 5 stores.
The clinic for the inoculation of dogs against rabies was held on May 27, and 117 dogs were inoculated.
The following diseases dangerous to the public health were reported during the year: Measles 3; chickenpox 122; scarlet fever 16; mumps 36; gonorrhea 2; dogbite 7.
A license was granted to Mr. Alvin E. Fernald for an over- night camp.
The death of Dr. McGlinchey, who for many years had done the inspecting of dairies and the bacterial counts on milk, left us without a milk inspector. We have been unable to find anyone to fill his place, and following a consultation with Mr. Donielo and Dr. Rubenstein, representatives of the Massa- chusetts Department of Public Health, we made arrangements
123
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
with the surrounding towns to report to us their laboratory findings on the milk delivered in Lincoln. This has proved entirely satisfactory. Until after the war, it is doubtful if we shall be able to find a satisfactory person for this work.
The Well Child Conference was held each month. There were 52 new cases and 47 old cases. The total attendance was 192. Twenty-one children received tetanus inoculations, 28 received tetanus and diphtheria, and 47 children were vacci- nated. The value of the clinic is shown in the fact that 1 case of diabetes was discovered, 1 case of marked loss of hearing and 1 child with defective vision were found. All of these cases have had proper treatment and are under observation. We again thank Dr. Davies for his continued interest in the children's welfare.
On December 11 the Board adopted the new Massachusetts Department of Public Health regulations on isolation and quarantine, copies of which are available.
Respectfully submitted,
ROBERT L. DENORMANDIE, M.D., ROBERT H. BRINKERHOFF, PAUL L. NORTON, M.D.
124
TOWN OF LINCOLN
REPORT OF CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS
The limited care given our Cemeteries these war years due to the fact that labor is not available, is reflected in the small expenditure made this past year. Of the appropriation $595.50 has been expended and $204.50 turned back to the Treasurer.
Some years ago there were planted in the Northerly part of the cemetery many Spruce trees and so closely that the laying out of lots for future use will become a problem if some of them are not removed entirely or planted in some other part of the grounds. To replant all that should be removed would require considerable labor so we have already cut down some and furnished Christmas Trees for our Schools and Churches.
During the past year a total of 19 burials have been made, 18 were in the New Lincoln Cemetery and one in the Arbor- vitae.
Five lots were sold bringing an income of $475.00 which was turned over to the Town Treasurer and deposited in the Cemetery Fund.
For 1945 we are asking for an appropriation of $1,290.00. This increase over last year's request is due to a change in the method of taking care of the income from making inter- ments. Hereafter all interment fees will be paid to the town and the men doing the work will be paid by the Treasurer from the appropriation.
It is our purpose to use some of the money to improve the records pertaining to lots and burials so that there will be located at the Town Hall complete information as to the exact location of lots.
It might be desirable to have a record of all the burials in the town, as far as possible so that all facts pertaining to them could be collected in one place for future reference. There are State Laws relative to cemetery lots and accurate records would aid greatly in protecting the rights of lot owners and would help future Cemetery Commissioners in the conduct of their duties.
125
REPORT OF THE CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS
It is our desire to improve the roads as much as possible so as to make all parts of the grounds accessable at all times of the year, so we shall apply surface treatment as our appro- priation will allow.
Having in mind the suggestions made in last year's report in regard to improving the entrance to the cemetery and some means of identification for it, we shall have to ask larger sums for annual expenditures whenever in the future labor and materials are available for such permanent improvements.
Respectfully submitted.
JOHN F. PETERSON, GEORGE E. CUNNINGHAM, ROBERT D. DONALDSON.

TOWN OF LINCOLN
REPORT OF THE LINCOLN FIRE DEPARTMENT
Board of Selectmen,
Gentlemen :
The Board of Fire Engineers herewith submit their annual report for the year ending December 31, 1944.
Force
The Department consists of the following: Chief, seven Engineers, nineteen call men.
Apparatus
The apparatus belonging to the Department is as follows: one 600 gallon pump, one combination 500 gallon pump and forest fire truck, one 350 gallon pump and forest fire truck. The Department also has two Foam extinguishers, nine ladders, 3,200 ft. of 21/2 in. hose, 400 ft. of 112 in. hose, 2,300 ft. of 1 in. hose. Booster tanks on trucks carry 560 gallons of water.
Pump No. 1 and the Combination Pump and Forest Fire Truck No. 3 are stationed at Doherty's Garage, South Lincoln.
Combination Pump and Forest Fire Truck No. 2 is stationed at Tracey's Gasoline Station, North Lincoln.
Fires
During the year 79 calls have been answered: 4 Automo- biles, 3 Trucks, 7 Chimney, 10 Building, 3 Smoke, 2 Oil- burners, 1 Lightning, 5 Miscellaneous, 44 Grass and Wood.
This analysis shows that the majority of the fires are grass and woods and with care a large percentage of these could be avoided.
Permits are required for all fires in the open and this spring, summer and fall the greatest care should be exercised by all the townspeople.
The Fire Department is severely handicapped by the lack of ' man power and while everything possible is being done to care for the needs of the town, the co-operation of the townspeople is very essential.

AN ACT TO PROHIBIT THE DRIVING OF VEHICLES OVER MUNICIPAL FIRE HOSE 1926, Chapter 278
Section 7A. Upon the approach of any fire apparatus which is going to a fire or responding to an alarm, every person driving a vehicle on a way shall immediately drive said vehicle as far as possible toward the right-hand curb or side of said way and shall keep the same at a standstill until such fire apparatus has passed. No person shall drive a vehicle over a hose of a fire department without the consent of a member of such department. No person shall drive a vehicle within three hundred feet of any fire apparatus going to a fire or responding to an alarm, nor drive said vehicle or park or leave the same unattended within six hundred feet of a fire or within the fire-lines established therent by the fire department. Violation of any provision of this section shall be punished by a fine of not more than twenty-five dollars. (Approved April 28, 1926.)
Investigate your chimneys and brep them clean.
Do not throw lighted cigarettes. Traffic siren means pull out and stop. Oil stoves need to be inspected and cleaned frequently. Drive 300 feet from fire apparatus.
Remain 600 feet from fire.
A permit is required for all open fires.
False alarms are punishable by fine or imprisonment.
When calling headquarters by telephone for fire speak calmly and distinctly, giving street, location on street, and name of person calling: this will insure more prompt response by the firemen.
Do not allow rubbish, paper, or any inflammable material to accumulate in or about your property.
Always call the Department before attempting to extinguish a fire yourself.
The Fire Department will be enabled to render better service if these instructions are followed.
127
REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
The Fire Department wishes to express their appreciation for the excellent service rendered by the local telephone operators and would also like to suggest that at the time of a fire all unnecessary calls be eliminated so the necessary fire calls may be taken care of as rapidly as possible.

TOWN OF LINCOLN
REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF THE LINCOLN LIBRARY
The Trustees submit herewith the reports of the Treasurer and the Librarian.
During 1944 the problem of acquiring a sufficient number of high grade books has been difficult. Due to the war with consequent shortages and the restrictions on publications good books have been fewer, smaller, and higher priced. There is no reason to believe that this situation will be corrected until the end of the war.
The Trustees have voted to transfer the handling of the income from the Trust Funds to the Town Treasurer. This is done in compliance with the suggestion of the Director of Accounts at the State House.
In order to co-operate with the request of the government to save paper wherever possible we are omitting the usual list of those who have made donations to the library. This list is unusually large this year, and to them we extend our thanks.
The Trustees ask for an appropriation of $1,490 plus the dog-tax for the year ensuing.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
Board of Selectmen,
Gentlemen:
The Planning Board organized this year with C. K. Fitts, Chairman and Walter E. Lovejoy, Secretary.
The Board wishes to extend its gratitude to Mr. Arthur Comey, who has donated a contour map of Lincoln to the town.
No applications for subdivisions were made during the past year. An agreement and bond amounting to $600 were received on December 22nd from Elliott R. Barker, protecting the town to that extent for surfacing Cedar Road, a Private Way, belonging to the estate of Hazel B. Coolidge. This work will be completed when materials and labor are available.
At the request of the Committee for Future School De- velopment the Planning Board has interviewed members of various town organizations and department heads with respect to conversion of the Center School to a Town Office Building. The outcome of these interviews is represented in a brief filed with the Committee and published in their report.
