SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS
The winter months of this year were spent on snow and ice removal.
During the spring months we were able to carry on repair work, scraping and painting. Due to the severe winter much time had to be spent on patching. Tarring and oiling were carried on during the summer months.
Chapter 90 work was carried on as in previous years. This work included scraping and clearing the roads.
Work on Trapelo Road has been started. It has been roughly graded. Work on this road is to be continued this year by the State, County, and Town. It is recommended that the Town appropriate sufficient money with the State and County to complete the rebuilding of Trapelo Road as previously planned.
50 feet of pipe and one manhole were placed on Winter Street.
300 feet of Old Bedford Road, near the Concord Turnpike, has been widened, 200 feet of Old Winter Street has been widened.
Two new White Trucks a Chevrolet Pick-up and a Power Grader have been added to the Department. The Power Grader has proved very satisfactory and useful in many ways. The two new trucks that were delivered late in the year have also proved very satisfactory. A Power Lawn Mower to be used at the Ball Field was delivered late in the fall.
The Department needs a Buckeye Sand Spreader, a Sickle Mower and a 212 ton Truck to replace Mack.
Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS COAN, Superintendent of Streets.

TOWN OF LINCOLN
REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
Roland F. Beers resigned from the Board after the nomina- tion papers were closed, because he was giving up his residence in the Town. The Town had been fortunate in having the very willing services of this scientific and practical person. Thomas J. Rouner, another capable engineer, finally consented to an appointment to the Board and was appointed under the law governing the filling of vacancies. He has now re- signed to serve on the Finance Committee.
Pipe and materials are still in short supply, but barring more strikes it is assumed that the Board will soon receive sufficient deliveries to at least renew the main from Silva's corner to Nelson's, and continue repairs as conditions allow.
Lincoln and Concord employ Metcalf and Eddy to make frequent analyses of Sandy Pond water to determine if treat- ment is required to prevent the odor and taste experienced last winter. A treatment was made in the autumn which should insure water with good flavor until spring.
Mr. George W. Coffin of Coffin and Richardson, Inc., consulting engineers, made a report on a proposed additional water supply, making a personal survey of the ground and using the information already compiled by Mr. Crosby.
The following résumé of the report was made by Mr. Rouner:
Lincoln, Mass. Jan. 8, 1947.
I have made a preliminary analysis of the report of June, 1946, by Coffin and Richardson, Inc., on Proposed Additional Water Supply for the Town of Lincoln, and submit herein my analysis of that report together with certain recommenda- tions.
Two proposals were estimated upon in the Coffin report, viz: (a) the development of a local well system, at a capital cost of $218,980 and (b) a pipeline connection to the new Metropolitan Aqueduct in Weston at a capital cost of $510,255; both estimates being exclusive of real estate costs. Both
145
REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
proposals assume that Sandy Pond would be retained as a standby or a supplemental source, but without allowing the waters to become mixed in our present high level reservoir because such exposure would encourage undesirable algea growth. Each proposal is equipped for supplying 750 gallons per minute, sufficient for a population of 7,000 to 8,000 persons at the present per capita consumption of 150 gallons per day (gpd).
In order to equate the proposals in terms of effect upon our water rates I have made rough calculations of the annual costs assuming 3% interest, 1% depreciation and obsolescence, and with allowances for operation, maintenance, and water payments to the Metropolitan District. Based on present day requirements of 300,000 gpd and our town's 1945 water receipts of about $15,800 the local well system as proposed above would just double the present water bills, while the connection to the Metropolitan Aqueduct would triple them. Thus, either proposal would be a very burdensome project which should not be undertaken unless actually required.
The State Dept. of Public Health has computed the yield of Sandy Pond to be 475,000 gpd with a 4-foot drawdown or 600,000 gpd with extreme drawdown as governed by the bottom of the present intake which is 8 feet below full pond. Compared with a present use of 300,000 gpd it appears that Sandy Pond would meet Lincoln's water requirements for many years to come.
However, the town of Concord has certain legal rights to the waters of Sandy Pond as defined by Chap. 438 of the Mass. Acts of 1911, by the terms of which Concord has unlimited drawing rights to the top 3 feet of the pond and can take up to 200,000 gpd when the level is between 3 and 4 feet below the top elevation. Although Concord's actual water takings have apparently not been severe through the years, still her potential takings, i.e. her rights to Sandy Pond water, have a salient effect upon Lincoln future plans.
I recommend that the following moves be made in regard to Lincoln's future water supply source:
1. Obtain firm legal and engineering advice as to the possi- bility of recapturing, through legislation, those rights which Concord now holds in Sandy Pond. I include
146
TOWN OF LINCOLN
engineering advice in the above because a more thorough analysis would no doubt be required to determine the safe yield of Sandy Pond, and thereby help to establish the merits of our case.
2. Failing in the above attempt to recapture the Concord rights, and after making sure that we could not buy water more advantageously from Cambridge, Concord or other adjacent souces, I would recommend a con- tinuation of the test well explorations to the extent of locating, proving, and acquiring a well area within the town which would insure a future source of water of adequate quantity and quality for a need equivalent to about three or four times our present use, or say 750 gallons per minute (1,080,000 gpd).
In considering the above analysis and recommendations you must bear in mind that I am not a water supply engineer. I have merely attempted to analyse the reports of Coffin and Richardson of June, 1946, and of Irving B. Crosby of Decem- ber, 1942, and to draw certain summary conclusions for the benefit of your Board of Water Commissioners.
Respectfully yours,
THOMAS J. ROUNER.

TOWN OF LINCOLN
REPORT OF LINCOLN BOARD OF HEALTH - 1946
On March 13 the Board met and organized for the ensuing year. Dr. DeNormandie was elected chairman, Mr. R. H. Brinkerhoff, clerk. Mrs. Ober was appointed agent of the Board and Mr. Brinkerhoff to the nursing committee. The State Department of Public Health approved the nomination of Mr. J. J. Kelliher as inspector of slaughtering.
The State Reclamation Board, after a hearing attended by the Board of Health, appointed Messrs. John Todd, Thomas Coan and Charles Blake as Commissioners of the Lincoln Mosquito Control Project. An excellent beginning has been made. We ask for a careful study of their report, which follows, and agree completely with them in their recommendations for the ensuing year.
The Well Child Conference has been carried on each month by Dr. Davies, and as usual we have only the highest praise for the conduct of this clinic. Because of the increased incidence of diphtheria in Massachusetts, the so-called "booster" dose of toxoid has been given when indicated.
We have been fortunate in obtaining the services of Dr. Joseph B. Barron for the dental clinic. He comes to us highly recommended. The first clinic was held on December 13 and the upper grade children were examined. It is planned to examine all the children in the schools, and the parents will be notified of work that should be done. The details of the opera- tion of this clinic will be worked out in conjunction with the School Committee, the Health Committee of the Parents' Council and this Board. The present location of the clinic in the basement of the Center School is unsatisfactory and a makeshift. In the new schoolhouse, we shall ask for adequate room.
The following contagious diseases have been reported : German measles 1; measles 43; chickenpox 48; scarlet fever 1; lobar pneumonia 1; dog bite 5; syphilis 2.
At the clinic held for inoculation against rabies, 103 dogs were inoculated. Although the frequency of rabies in Massachu-
149
REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH
setts has diminished greatly, the State Department of Public Health still warns us to continue antirabic inoculations.
The Board adopted revised regulations regarding garbage transportation and piggeries. Copies of these regulations are available at the Town Hall.
The following piggeries were licensed: Mary E. Silva, 500; Louis Dean 500; John Wilson, 100; Boyce Brothers, 100; Nicholas Cotoni, 50. In 1931 there were 15 piggeries licensed with permits to keep a total of 3,139 pigs.
Conditions in one piggery were very unsatisfactory. The owner was requested to appear before the Board, and was given a month to clean up the piggery and to reduce the num- ber of pigs to the quota allowed, with court action to follow if these conditions were not fulfilled. Following this warning, conditions became satisfactory.
The Pierce Fund has gradually increased from approxi- mately $2,000 in 1926 to $34,799.75 on December 31, 1946. Only twice in this long period have the Selectmen expended more than its income. There has been a growing feeling among many of the citizens that there should be a wider base for the use of this Fund. We therefore have had inserted in the Warrant an article to authorize the Town to employ counsel to bring this desirable change before the proper court for con- sideration.
Respectfully submitted,
ROBERT L. DeNORMANDIE, M.D., ROBERT H. BRINKERHOFF, PAUL L. NORTON, M.D.

TOWN OF LINCOLN
REPORT OF THE MOSQUITO CONTROL COMMISSIONERS
Pursuant to an appropriation and vote of the annual town meeting, 4 March, 1946, and following the usual hearing by the State Reclamation Board, the Board appointed as Commis- sioners, John Todd, Thomas F. Coan, and Charles Blake. On 8 April, 1946 the Commissioners met and organized electing · John Todd secretary and Charles H. Blake chairman, Thomas F. Coan has superintended the actual field operations.
During the past eight months we have followed rather closely a report by R. W. Wales, Entomologist of the State Reclama- tion Board (Town Report for 1945, pp. 103-107). The follow- ing items were attended to:
Culvert under Lincoln Road at the Todd driveway, two culverts the driveway replaced, and channels adjacent to these culverts cleaned and deepened. (Items 1 and 2 in Wales report.)
Dam removed and channels cleaned to drain swamp back of Snider house. (Item 3.)
The channel from the culvert under Lincoln Road at the Burgess property to the Todd Pond and adjacent channels on northerly side of Lincoln Road cleaned. (Items 4 and 5.)
Splash boards changed by Mr. Lee Todd to lower the level of the Todd Pond by one foot through the summer (Item 7.)
The Boston and Maine Railroad cleaned the culvert under the railroad about 100 yards west of Lincoln station. (Item 6.)
The dam back of the Lahey house was opened and the brook below it cleaned. (Item 9.)
The dam in Stony Brook below Beaver Pond on the Pert- zoff land was removed. (Item 12.)
The culvert under Conant Road near Prescott Davis' house was cleaned. (Item 13.)
The ditch and culvert under Weston Road draining the swamp below Robert Pierce's house were cleaned. (Item 14.)
151
REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH
The culvert under Weston Road and brook leading to Beaver Pond were cleaned from the road to just past the Scott driveway. (Item 15.)
Culvert and adjacent ditch on Winter Street between the Beers driveway and Old County Road were cleaned. (Item 18.) It is not possible to lower this culvert without inter- ference with the water main.
New culvert was installed east of the DeNormandie barn as part of the relocation of Trapelo Road. (Item 20), by the Highway Department.
Culvert under the Lincoln cemetery drive and adjacent ditches were cleaned. (Part of item 25.)
Culverts under Concord Road near Sherman's and near · Rice's Garage were cleaned. (Items 23 and 24 in part.) These culverts will have to be lowered.
North of the Concord Turnpike on land formerly owned by Dr. Loring a dam was removed.
A new culvert was installed under he Snelling drive near South Great Road and about 400 feet of ditch cleaned.
Culvert under McIntosh Lane and brook above it were cleaned.
About 800 feet of brook upstream from the ball field road was cleaned.

A measurement of the main swampy areas in the Town shows upwards of 800 acres not counting the free water surface of ponds and reservoirs. We may, in fact, regard the Town as built on a series of ridges flanked by swamps. Three of these ridges are Lincoln Road, Tower Road, and Silver Hill Road - Weston Road. The problem is made more complex by the low
152
TOWN OF LINCOLN
relief of the swampy areas and the occurrence of a number of "bottle necks."
To illustrate, the fall along the brook leading from Weston Road through Beaver Pond to "location 12" on the Pertzoff land, a distance of nine-tenths of a mile is no more than seven feet. Over the ledge at this same location must flow, all the water from a region which may be defined by four points, Lexington Road at the Lincoln Cemetery, Sandy Pond, a swamp about 14 mile north of the Lincoln Railroad Station, and another swamp, two tenths of a mile southeast of the point where the South Great Road crosses the railroad.
This, and similar situations, moved the Commissioners to adhere to a general principle that we would attempt to improve the capacity of such bottlenecks before burdening them with additional flow from outlying areas.
As to the results of operations, there was during the early summer a marked drop in water level partly favored, no doubt, by low rainfall. The heavy rains in August resulted in bringing the water level back to that of later spring at most points checked on 31 August but on 3 September the drop in level was marked (4 to 8 inches). A drop of 12 inches would be adequate to handle the drainage of the bulk of the swamps in town.
Mosquito control in the Town is beset by two chief, and very different, problems. First, the permissible hourly wage for labor under the economic conditions of the past year was inade- quate to secure a continuous working force. There is little that can be done to solve this problem directly.
Second, most of the culverts in the Town are so sized and . situated that they are adequate to drain the road surface but not to drain adjacent swampy areas. The lowering and en- largement of these culverts is necessary. We point out this problem so that the townspeople will recognize that the ex- pense of an operation is not always proportionate to the area drained. A little water may produce a lot of mosquitos. In this connection we thank the street department for improving certain culverts at their expense where the work would be ad- vantageous to the department and to mosquito control.
We wish also to record our appreciation to the landowners for their complete co-operation.
153
REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH
For the future, the commissioners recommend:
1. The appropriation of $715.23, which with the balance on hand will provide $1,000.00 for work in 1947.
2. To complete the items in the Wales report and then ask further advice from the State Reclamation Board.
3. That two types of work be given preference, (a) the im- provement of culverts, and (b) the rehabilitation of drainage ditches which formerly functioned in most of the swamps.
4. Further consideration of the oiling of undrained sink holes.
Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS COAN, JOHN TODD, CHARLES H. BLAKE.
154
TOWN OF LINCOLN
REPORT OF CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS
The general care given our cemeteries during the past year has been the same as in the war years. Because of increased cost of labor we will have to realize that the cemeteries cannot be cared for at the same expenditures as before 1941. In addi- tion to this fact even with increased rates very little labor appears to be available for this work so that quite a large part of the appropriation for this department was returned to the Town Treasurer.
During 1946 fourteen burials were made in the New Lincoln Cemetery and one in the Arbor Vitae Cemetery.
Five and one-half lots were sold bringing an income of $700.00 which was turned over to the Town Treasurer and deposited in the cemetery fund ..
For 1947 we are asking for an appropriation of $1,600.00 and this will be divided approximately as follows:
Regular maintenance $900 00

In last year's report we asked for an appropriation of $200.00 to be taken from the General Fund for the purpose of estab- lishing a system of records in order that information pertaining to the cemeteries could be concentrated in one place and be available to future commissioners. Of this amount only $76.82 was expended so we now ask for $150.00 for this coming year to continue this work.
Due to the able assistance of Mrs. Farrar, our Librarian, we soon shall have a card index file of all the burials in the three Lincoln Cemeteries and it is our purpose to have this informa- tion as complete as possible. Your commissioners feel greatly indebted to Mrs. Farrar for her efficient help in this matter.
