CITY LIBRARY ASSOCIATION Museum of Fine Arts Springfield, Mass.
Board of Selectmen, Town of Lincoln, Massachusetts. Gentlemen :
January 29, 1946.
As a result of my meeting with you on Saturday, January 12th, to inspect the De Cordova collection, and from my previous acquaintance with the collection, I feel justified in saying that for the most part the material is utterly worthless from any museum point of view. The monetary value of most of the material is far below what the collector was pleased to intimate, and the artistic quality of the collection as a whole is well below the standards adhered to by even the smaller of the country's museums. This being the case, it would seem wise to appoint a committee or board whose re- sponsibility it is to study and act on the following problems: (1) inventory and evaluation for insurance purposes, (2) the

disposition by auction of much of the collection, (3) plans for the utilization of such objects as well as retained, and (4) the function of the De Cordova house itself.
Generally speaking, the material to be retained would con- sist of most of the tapestries, a selection of the glass, the prints, a very, very limited number of the oil paintings, the oriental sculptures, porcelains and textiles, some other ceramic pieces and some furnishings.
The present condition and arrangement of the house does not warrant its further use. It would be well to consider demolishing it and in its stead build a community center for the arts; i.e., a little theater for amateur theatricals, motion pictures and concerts, meeting rooms for local groups, and exhibition galleries for the display of the retained collection and temporary exhibits of local and regional contemporary art.
Sincerely yours, FREDERICK S. ROBINSON, Director.

REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE
REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
The report of the Finance Committee is presented in a new form, designed to give a clearer picture of the various activities of Town government.
Municipal and State expenditures will show a marked in- crease in the immediate post-war years. The higher cost of materials and labor, together with the need for replacement of equipment and for postponed capital outlay will inevitably be reflected in higher tax rates throughout the Commonwealth. We recommend that normal operating expenditures be met by current receipts. This will put us on a true budget balance for the new economic era that lies ahead. The large amount of available free cash can properly be used to meet the ex- penditures which have been postponed during the war and which are now necessary. Any balance of free cash should be retained as a back-log against any large capital outlay, which may face the Town.
We recommend an appropriation of $1,000 for mosquito control, to be expended under the direction of the Board of Health. The Finance Committee does not feel that it is com- petent to pass on the merits of this project. It is recom- mended by our Board of Health and the State Board as a measure to control the malaria bearing mosquito. The return of members of the armed forces from countries where malaria is prevalent is of course the basic reason for this precaution. We wish to point out, however, that one thousand dollars is insignificant compared to what would be needed properly to maintain mosquito control over the whole Town. The results obtained from this experiment should be carefully watched.
We include in our report a tabulation showing certain com- parative expenditures for schools in fifteen towns. These towns were chosen as being reasonably comparable to Lin- coln in size, valuation, and above all in type, which is prob- ably the best yardstick to use in such a comparative study. Inasmuch as the appropriation for schools is our major ex- penditure, we submit the table so that the citizens may com- pare our costs with those of other communities.

REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE
The Finance Committee is satisfied that the Town must make arrangements for additional and more adequate school facilities without unnecessary delay.
The "Special Committee for Investigating the Needs of the Lincoln Schools," headed by Mr. Page, has done an unusually thorough and conscientious piece of work in its investigation, in its reports to the Town as to the school needs, and in mak- ing suggestions for meeting them.
Their primary suggestion of course is for a new school building to take the place of the two inadequate present buildings.
This new school will be the first substantial addition to the "town plant" in many years. In our growing Town it will probably represent only the first of a number of substantial additions and improvements which the Town will want and for which it will be glad to pay.
The location of the new schoolhouse will have a definite and perhaps determining effect on the future layout of the Town and its public buildings. Accordingly, as we begin the pro- gram, the finance committee is unanimously of the opinion that prior to becoming committed to any given location for the new school the Town should have the benefit of the best available professional advice as to the long-range public prop- erty layout for the Town to meet both known and potential needs.
With such advice made available the Town can proceed with assurance that the location of the new school will fit in with the best program obtainable to satisfy our long-range needs.
To that end we have inserted an article in the warrant for the Town's consideration which, if adopted, should give us such a comprehensive plan at least before July 1st.
We recommend that of the following appropriations the sum of $7,000 be taken from free cash.

TOWN OF LINCOLN
Much of the increase in department budgets is due to higher cost of supplies and a higher base wage for employees. Unusual increases in budget recommendations beyond these increased unit costs are explained as follows:
Town Hall -Extraordinary repairs to the roof, and painting. Police - An additional officer and a new car.
Tree and Moth -- An added item of $500.00 for poison ivy control along the roadsides.
Old Age Assistance - Added cost due to State Law whereby children are not required to help in the support of needy parents.
Schools - Amortization on new busses, a larger than usual item for books and supplies and an increased item for the superintendent's salary.
Highways, Chapt. 90- New Construction on Trapelo Road.
Highways - Snow removal.
Highway Machinery Fund - To create a machinery sink- ing fund large enough to insure replacement of equipment in the future.
Estimated tax rate for 1946, based on 1945 valuations, the Governor's budget message, the same receipts as in 1945, and the budget recommendations of the Finance Committee. $28.
Cost to the Town per thousand dollars appropriated, based on 1945 figures is equivalent to 26.8 cents on the tax rate.
