There are additional roads that should be laid out and it is anticipated that, with the cooperation of abutters, progress can be made in 1950. As noted in last year's report, the lay- ing out and taking of a road does not mean that the surfaced or travelled way must be rebuilt. The taking merely de- fines the boundaries of a strip of land, normally 40 to 50 feet wide, including the existing roadway within which the Town may make repairs and alterations of its roads. At the same time the abutting land owner has his front lot line firmly established.


Town Hall


During the past year the stage in the upper Town Hall has been repainted, funds having been available in the Town Hall repair budget. The steady increase in the use of the Hall emphasizes the need for painting the walls and ceilings and refinishing the floor throughout the hall. The expense will be substantial and, although the work could be done gradually under an increased annual Town Hall budget, this Board recommends that funds be appropriated under Article 15 in order that substantial improvements may be commenced promptly.


Pierce Park


There has been some concern about Pierce Park during the past two years, because of the deteriorated appearance of the


37


REPORT OF SELECTMEN


hay. Following soil tests and examination, the Middlesex County Extension Service made various recommendations for improving the crop and as a result the whole area was fertilized last fall. It is expected that the hay will be of such quality that there will be no difficulty in having it cut with- out expense.


Tennis Courts


The two Town tennis courts were completed in the sum- mer of 1941. The original rottenstone surface, after nine years of use, has deteriorated by reason of wind and rain ero- sion to a point where repair appears necessary. In the sum- mer, the Selectmen appointed a committee comprising Mr. Richard Eaton, Mr. William DeFord and Mr. John Garrison to investigate and report upon the need for resurfacing the two courts. After detailed study the committee has recom- mended that the courts be resurfaced with a processed ma- terial which has been widely and successfully used called Standard Green. The estimated cost of resurfacing amounts to $1,000 to $1,200 depending upon the extent to which vol- unteer labor can be used. This figure compared favorably with the estimated cost of resurfacing with clay, rottenstone and other conventional soft materials. The Selectmen en- dorse the recommendation of the committee.


The tennis court committee has advised the Selectmen that regardless of whether or not the courts are resurfaced the appropriation for maintenance should be increased over the $150.00 which has been the average yearly maintenance cost during the past few years. The Selectmen propose to ap- point a committee to continue study of the maintenance problem during the summer of 1950.


In closing this report, the Selectmen take great pleasure in commending, in the name of the Town, two citizens who have retired from Town office after long and dutiful service.


John J. Kelliher, Chief of Police for 32 years, Water Com- missioner for 31 years, Tree Warden 38 years.


James W. Lennon, Auditor for 41 years.

TOWN OF LINCOLN


REPORT OF THE BUREAU OF OLD AGE ASSISTANCE


During the year 1949 there has been a substantial increase in the number of Old Age Assistance cases. At the close of the year 1948, there were twenty-eight cases. During 1949, two cases were closed because of death and ten cases were added. At the close of the year there were 36 cases settled as follows: Lincoln 28, other Cities and Towns 2, no settlement 6.


Gross cost of Old Age Assistance $26,108 82


Federal Government


$10,198 25


Commonwealth of Massachusetts 12,244 97

Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Meals Tax . 550 12


Cost to Town of Lincoln 2,351 41


$26,108 82


The amount of $21,000 requested to be appropriated in the budget allows for an estimated increase in cases. This amount represents the Town and State share only. The State's share, estimated at somewhat in excess of $15,000 will be refunded, leaving the net cost to the Town a small portion of the appropriation. Although the Town must appropriate the total sum of $21,000, an allowance is made for the amount to be refunded by the State in determining the tax rate.


It is estimated that approximately $14,000 will be received from the Federal Government making the estimated expendi- tures for the year nearly $35,000.00. The Federal Govern- ment contribution does not have to be appropriated by the Town but may be used as received.

REPORT OF DIRECTORS OF MUSEUM AND PARK


REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE deCORDOVA AND DANA MUSEUM AND PARK


Last year you may recall the report consisted simply of the fact that the corporation was formed, that directors had been appointed and its officers elected. Mr. Edgell, director of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, had appointed Mr. Frederick Robinson, director of the Springfield Art Museum, to be the advisor in the buying and selling of art objects. Mr. Robinson at once began the selection of articles which he considered to be of continuing value in the development of the museum, the balance of the items, with the approval of Mr. Robinson and the directors, was removed to New York and was sold at auction. From the sale of these objects, on March 11, 12 and 13, the museum realized $17,508.62.


At the Town Election of 1949, Mr. Charles H. Blake was elected an A director for a period of four years. Mr. Richard S. Meriam was appointed by the Library Trustees to be a B director for three years. Hereafter, at each annual election, an A director will be elected by the Town for a four-year term, and each year a B director will be appointed succes- sively by the Selectmen, the School Committee and the Li- brary Trustees for a three-year term. The duties and privi- leges of the A and B directors are identical. By 1952, four directors will have been elected by the citizens, and three will have been appointed by the above-mentioned groups.


On January 29, Mr. Giles Smith of Belmont was appointed architect to change the building from a private residence to a public institution. It was soon apparent that many changes would be necessary, and the first of several meetings was arranged between Mr. Smith, Mr. J. Q. Adams, representing the directors, and Inspector Newman of the Department of Public Safety of the Commonwealth.


Mr. Newman made it clear, as the contemplated uses of the building developed, that in the eyes of the Common- wealth, the deCordova and Dana Museum and Park would be regarded as a school, and would therefore have to conform to the safety requirements for such buildings. Since the de-


. 40


TOWN OF LINCOLN


Cordova residence was for the most part a wood frame struc- ture without fire stopping, besides being in an advanced state of disrepair, extensive alterations were necessary. Re- course was had to the trustees of the estate for additional funds, and these were finally obtained in the form of accumu- lated income of the estate to December 31, 1948, giving a total sum of $75,329.85 for this work, which amount was added to other assets of the corporation, including the select- men's fund, and the sum realized from the sale of property. Even this amount has been found to be insufficient for the task in hand, and it does not now appear to be possible to complete the entire project at this time.


The Board is happy to report that its relations with the Trustees have been very cordial and wishes to record its appreciation of the understanding and support it has received from them.


In August, Mr. Smith was under such pressure of work, that he asked the directors if they would allow Mr. Adams to become associated with him. The directors agreed and Mr. Adams has since carried a large part of the responsibility.


On May 9, the directors appointed Mr. Frederick P. Walkey to the position of Executive Director. He is a graduate of Tufts College and of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts. During the summer Mr. Walkey made an extensive tour of museums and art centers from Boston to the Middle West and brought back many valuable ideas.


Dr. Donald Wyman of the Arnold Arboretum went over the grounds twice and made helpful suggestions. There has been some thinning and removal of misshapen trees. The boathouse, which was in poor condition, has been pulled down, and the foundation levelled. Along the eastern bound- ary, a dump had been established. Stumps, the result of the hurricane, had been thrown in there. These have been removed and the area is now available for use. A parking space is being built north of the museum. The entrance and exit roads have been widened to eighteen feet.


It was finally decided that the books belonged to the cor- poration. With the help of the Lincoln Librarian, Mrs. Herbert Farrar, the assortment was culled. Those of value to the museum were kept, others were given to the library and the remaining volumes sold.


41


REPORT OF DIRECTORS OF MUSEUM AND PARK


The purpose of the deCordova and Dana Museum and Park is to provide, for all the people it is privileged to serve, a greater appreciation and fuller understanding of the arts. Interest will be stimulated through exhibitions, concerts, lec- tures, motion pictures and discussion groups. Recreation will be provided for all age levels through their active partici- pation in various creative activities. Through this broad program, it is hoped that the relationship of the arts to our modern civilization will be clarified and that a finer personal discrimination will be developed.

DECORDOVA AND DANA MUSEUM AND PARK TREASURER'S REPORT


Comments on the Table


deCordova and Dana Museum and Park receives funds under various limitations, which are described below. Con- sequently, receipts and expenditures have been classified to show that all authorizations have been observed. Only the A and B trusts can be expected to supply income on an annually recurring basis.


COLUMN 1. A. Trust Purposes: For the upkeep, main- tenance and improvement of the museum and park.


COLUMN 2. B. Trust Purposes :


(1) For the upkeep, maintenance and improvement of the museum and park.


(2) For additions to the art and other collections in the museum.


(3) For educational and recreational purposes.


(4) None may be used for demolition of gallery and resi- dence nor for buildings to replace either.


(5) For demolition of garage and boathouse.


COLUMN 3. For Alterations. By court decree of June, 1949, the sum of $75,329.65 is to be paid over for alterations, repairs and improvements to the gallery and residence and such other alterations, repairs and improvements as the cor- poration may think necessary or desirable in order to open the museum and park to the public.


It will be noted that $70,000 of this sum was received and spent in 1949.


COLUMN 4. Selectmen's Fund. This fund has been turned over to the museum and park corporation. It is to be used in the directors' sole judgment for "making repairs or improve- ments to and for maintenance and operating the property."


The directors expect that all of this fund will be required to complete the alteration program.


COLUMN 5. Sale of Property. This sum represents the proceeds of sales of art objects, books, and miscellaneous items. Although in 1950 most of this sum must be used for alterations to the buildings, it is the intention of the directors to restore this sum in later years, to be used for additions to the permanent collections of the museum.

TOWN OF LINCOLN


REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE


As required by the Town By-Laws, the Finance Committee has consulted the Selectmen, Officers, Boards and Committees of the Town with respect to their recommendations for 1950 appropriations.


Lincoln is fortunate in having agents operating its business who analyze their recommendations with this committee in an atmosphere of frankness and mutual confidence. The result is valuable to the Town because the recommendations of the Finance Committee represent in substance the best judgment of all who participated.


The appropriations recommended by us in the list attached come to a total of $248,688 for general Town purposes. This compares with actual expenditures in 1949 of $219,213. The recommended appropriation for Water Works, to come out of its treasury, is $19,625, which is substantially the same as the year before.


The $248,688 of appropriation recommended in this report for 1950 represents an increase of 11.9% over the actual expenditures of 1949. It may be of interest to call attention to the fact that our recommendations for 1950 are $107,853, or 76.6% over our comparable recommendations for 1946, the first post-war year.


The largest increase is in the appropriation of $98,718 for the School Budget to which your attention is directed. This is an increase of $12,068 over the corresponding appropriation of a year ago and $14,570 over actual 1949 expenditures. This figure does not represent the entire amount to be re- quired by the school department as the new boiler and burner needed for replacement at the Centre School will be about $4,000 and added to this will be interest on the new school bonds of $4,812 and payment on the principal of $15,000. These last items, of course, are not to be considered in the category of increases over a year ago, but it should be noted that the Town will have to appropriate $122,530 for school operations, or 48.4% of the entire Town Budget.


45


REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE


Lincoln is now equipped with many splendid school facili- ties and will need more as the Town grows, but careful con- sideration should be given to every item of expense in view of the tax load that is being carried. Throughout the State, in Towns of 3,000 population and below, the average appro- priation for schools is 33.9% of the budget, as shown in the last report published. We want good schools, but we want to operate them with good judgment and due consideration for the other departments of the Town. Of course, it is rec- ognized that part of the school appropriation will be returned by the State, but that does not alter the basic reasoning for careful spending.


The following transfers from the Reserve Fund were made by the Finance Committee during the year 1949.


1. Increased cost of new police car $124 10


2. Uniform for new police officer 87 00


3. Resetting flag pole 300 00


4. Old Age Assistance 1,480 41


5. Extra labor for Tree and Moth Dept.


366 86


6. Extra pay period in 1949 (Highway and Town Hall) 573 67


7. Planning Board, Miscellaneous 16 05


8. Town Hall 38 62


$2,986 71


On the basis of 1949 valuations, every $4,150 of appro- priation required to be raised from local taxation would mean $1.00 on the tax rate. Any increase in the total of assessed property this year will, of course, help to keep the rate down.


The net cost to the Town of its operations is reduced by "reimbursements" from the State, County and Federal Government, such as for Schools, Welfare and Roads. The amounts are shown in detail in the Treasurer's Report. The apparent popularity of this process feeds on the failure of the average voter to recognize that a government agency can dis- tribute or spend only that which it takes from its citizens. Only in a Town Meeting like ours will a start be made if voters are to become aware of the fact that the "reimbursements" are only a part of what has already been collected from them in other forms of direct and indirect taxes.


46


TOWN OF LINCOLN


The Committee is of the opinion that the recommended appropriations listed below will very adequately provide for the effective operation of the property and business of the Town for 1950.


Respectfully submitted,


F. W. DENIO, Chairman, T. J. ROUNER, W. N. PAGE, P. L. NORTON, L. A. WILDES, Secretary.
