REPORT OF SELECTMEN
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
The Police, Highway and Fire Departments deserve special comment because of changes which have taken place or which are recommended for action at the 1952 Annual Town Meeting.
Police
Chief Algeo and Officer Hallett have done commendable work throughout the year. The Report of the Police Depart- ment appended hereto gives the record of arrests but does not cover such activities as checking vacant houses, responses to calls where no arrest follows, protection of the school children, and hours of patrolling.
With the population of the Town increasing rapidly there are more people and more property to protect. Normal driving speed of automobiles is clearly increasing and more cars are on the highways. The city is moving out this way, bringing some disruptive elements. It is the opinion of the Selectmen that the police force should now be increased to keep it abreast of local conditions. The recommendation is for one additional officer and an additional cruising car which would give the Town much greater coverage during certain hours each day. In this connection it should be pointed out that during the past few years there has been a steadily increasing use of special police and that without an additional regular officer this trend would continue.
The cost of the additional officer and car for 1952 would be about $5,000 which includes salary for nine months, a new car and all original equipment for both. Thereafter, the cost is estimated at $4,650 less perhaps $400 to $500 saving in pay for special police. The Police budget as reported by the Finance Committee is based on this recommendation.
Highway
The death on August 30, 1951 of Thomas F. Coan who had been Superintendent of Streets for the past eight years and had worked for the Town for many years before that, was a heavy
42
TOWN OF LINCOLN
loss to the Town as a whole. Mr. Coan was one of those loyal citizens, of whom we have had many, who gladly give of their time and energy for the common good. Clifford Bradley, who had worked with Mr. Coan, was appointed Acting Superinten- dent in the spring of 1951 and has continued in that capacity. He may be reached at LI6-0263J or at the Town Garage, LI6-0398W.
Chapter 90 construction work for 1952 will include the com- pletion of Bedford Road between Routes 2 and 2A. Following conversations with the Planning Board, the Selectmen have recommended to the County Commissioners that one of the roads leading from Route 2A to the airport should be rebuilt in order to take care of the impending increased traffic.
Fire
The Selectmen are in agreement with the Fire Engineers on their recommendation that the Town acquire land for a fire station in the vicinity of the intersection of Route 2 and Bedford Road. Although the present building in that area rented from Joseph R. Tracy is adequate for the next few years, a larger building on a larger lot owned by the Town is desirable and probably necessary at some time in the not too distant future. It is anticipated that an article will appear in the warrant, for the March 1952 or some subsequent meeting, to acquire land for this purpose.
Speed Zoning
Acting on authority of the vote at the June 1952 Town Meet- ing, the Selectmen engaged Sgt. John Foster of Concord to survey the traffic conditions of the Town and make recommen- dations for speed zones. His work has been completed and approved with modifications by the Selectmen. The Depart- ment of Public Utilities and the Registry of Motor Vehicles have not acted as yet.
The Town vs. Boston Edison Company
Late in 1951 the Department of Public Utilities directed the Boston Edison Company to construct its high tension line con- necting Framingham and Waltham by the use of overhead lines
43
REPORT OF SELECTMEN
on the Boston & Maine Railroad right-of-way on the Central Massachusetts Branch. This route avoids Lincoln entirely, passing from Waltham through Weston into Wayland. In spite of this fact, Lincoln is continuing to support the bill again introduced in the new legislature to force the Company to con- struct an underground line. A great deal of money has been spent on this case since 1948, Lincoln's share being in excess of $1,800.00, including the amount requested under the special deficiency article this year. Complete success cannot be claimed until the precedent of underground lines is established.
Pending State Legislation
In addition to the proposed legislation on underground lines, the Town is interested in House Bills Nos. 1525 and 1803 which renew the question of zoning Route 2 for residential purposes from the foot of Belmont Hill to the Concord Reformatory. The bills are similar to those introduced last year which were defeated. The Selectmen and Planning Board were recorded in favor of the new bills at the Committee hearing in Janu- ary, 1952.
Comment has been made before on the Town's loss in the death of Thomas F. Coan. The year 1951 took from us four other citizens who lived here all their lives and contributed generously to the Town's welfare:
Anthony J. Doherty, who in the course of his active partici- pation in Town affairs, served as Selectman, member of the School Committee, and as one of the original members of the Board of Appeals.
John H. Rogers, who for many years, served as Town Counsel.
Thomas J. Dee, Assessor and active member of the Fire De- partment for many years, who was better known to the younger generation as driver of the school bus.
Fritz Cunnert, Cemetery Commissioner and an original mem- ber of the Board of Appeals.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN O. WILSON, Chairman, EDMUND W. GILES, HENRY DeC. WARD.

TOWN OF LINCOLN
REPORT OF THE BUREAU OF OLD AGE ASSISTANCE
Although there have been many changes during the year 1951, the case load in Old Age Assistance is the same as at the close of 1950. During the year budgets were increased in October, as required by law, due to an over-all increase in the cost of living. In December new legislation was passed relat- ing to Old Age Assistance and additional budget increases will be made in January of 1952.
During the year six cases were added and six were closed, three because of death, one transfer to another town and two because of increased income. At the close of the year there were forty-two cases settled as follows: Lincoln twenty-nine, other cities and towns seven, no settlement six.

The amount of $28,000, requested for 1952 allows for a nor- mal increase in cases, estimated budget increases required by law and increased cost to the Town due to elimination of re- imbursement for L.T.A. by the Commonwealth. The State's share, estimated somewhat in excess of $20,000, will be re- funded leaving the net cost to the Town approximately $8,000. Although the Town must appropriate the total sum of $28,000, an allowance is made for the amount to be refunded by the State in determining the tax rate.
45
REPORT OF THE BUREAU OF OLD AGE ASSISTANCE
It is estimated that approximately $16,000 will be received from the Federal Government, making the estimated expendi- tures for the year nearly $44,000. The Federal Government contribution does not have to be appropriated by the Town but may be used as received.
Respectfully submitted,

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE deCORDOVA AND DANA MUSEUM AND PARK
Review of 1951
For all of us connected with the Museum, 1951 was a success- ful and busy year. We claim many major exhibition triumphs but realize there is still much to be accomplished. The new activities which were undertaken such as concerts, motion pic- tures, and lectures were satisfying but not wholly successful in attracting public interest.
The Museum presented two chamber music series and will continue to do so as no similar opportunity exists locally. The Museum auditorium has proved to be outstanding both for the performers and the audience. This type of program while not a familiar one is very logical for it provides the finest music which the seating capacity of the hall will afford, and we are certain that the excellence of the performing musicians will soon bring support from a greater number of patrons.
The two lectures were by artists of great distinction, but their local reputations were not sufficient to interest our gallery goers. Because we must continue to pursue an educational program to assist the public in its understanding of modern art, we shall continue to present from time to time other distin- guished speakers in this field.
The Lincoln Film Society presented a number of classic motion pictures in the Museum Auditorium. This type of program has been well received in surrounding communities, and appeared to be a natural for the Lincoln audience. Atten- dance, however, has been sporadic, but that does not deter the Society from presenting still another series during the first quarter of 1952. All the Film Society movies were presented free to the children at matinee performances.
The first major exhibition held at the Museum was "Moods and Movements - Boston 1951." It included twenty of Boston's most prominent painters, each represented by three canvasses. The public response to this exhibition was gratify- ing, and was recognition of the fact that this was the most
REPORT OF DIRECTORS OF MUSEUM AND PARK 47
important show of its kind ever held in Greater Boston. Dur- ing this exhibition, the Lincoln Garden Club held its annual Spring Flower Show at the Museum, attracting visitors from many parts of the State.
In the fall of 1951, a second major exhibition was presented. The Executive Director conceived the novel idea of presenting sculpture in a natural setting. Wherever possible, three pieces from America's outstanding living sculptors were chosen and exhibited in conjunction with modern furniture loaned to the exhibition by Paine's Furniture Company of Boston and The Architect's Collaborative of Cambridge. Approximately 450 people attended the opening. The reputation of "Three- Dimensional for Modern Living" spread, attracting an esti- mated 3000 visitors to the Museum during its five week duration.
The program of exhibitions continued on its previously es- tablished course of emphasizing regional art. Sixteen new or relatively unknown artists were introduced in one-man or two- man shows. In all, twenty exhibitions were held in 1951, covering graphic arts, water colors, oil paintings, ceramic, drawings and sculpture. The Museum, in one year, has moved to the forefront as a major cultural force in greater Boston. Planned exhibitions for the future include such previously ne- glected fields as photography, American glass, handicrafts, and more comprehensive displays of decorative arts.
The educational program of the Museum developed to such proportions that Mr. Joseph Hodgson was appointed Director of Education on a three day a week basis. The fees for all classes have been kept as low as possible, consistent with the standards of instruction demanded by the Museum Directors. This has resulted in a loss for the year of approximately $1,000 which has been made up from the limited funds of the trust in- come. The attendance for the final quarter of 1951 to the classes reached its highest peak : 245 children and 170 adults.
To serve the artist, the Museum sells from exhibitions but takes no commissions from the sales. This policy is judicious, for there is no competition with the commercial galleries. It has gained for the Museum much good will and the complete cooperation of both the artist and the dealer. During 1951, fourteen paintings, seven prints and five pieces of sculpture were sold.

TOWN OF LINCOLN
The Directors proceeded with the invitation to friends of the Museum to become "Associates" as announced in last year's report. We have been pleased to welcome 82 Associates, 10 Sustaining Associates, and 17 Professional Associates as supporters of the Museum program. Their generous contri- butions have enabled us to present a much more varied program than would have been possible otherwise. Every week we gain new associates, especially from the people enrolled in the adult classes.
The Newsletter which is published once a month is the pri- mary method for publicizing the Museum. The circulation to about 2000 interested visitors who have requested these notices would have been impossible without the volunteer assistance of the many ladies of Lincoln who have answered our call. To them and to the ladies who served so graciously as pourers and hostesses at Museum openings we give our thanks.
Respectfully submitted,
The Directors, JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, President, JANE K. VANCE, Vice President, PEARSON HUNT, Treasurer, ELIZABETH J. SNELLING, Clerk, CHARLES H. BLAKE, RICHARD MERIAM, ARTHUR THIESSEN.

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. Conse- quently, 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 re- curring basis.
COLUMN 1. A. Trust Purposes: For the upkeep, mainte- nance 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.
COLUMN 3. For Alterations : In 1949 and 1950, with the con- sent of the deCordova Trustees and the approval of the Court, the sum of $80,413.41 from the principal of the B Trust was paid over for alterations, repairs, and improvements to the gallery and residence.
In addition, the deCordova trustees have turned over $15,148.93, from current income over which they had discre- tion, and loaned $46,000.00 to the Corporation to assist in the completion of alterations. A further grant of $3,964.42 re- ceived in 1951, completed this assistance of the trustees for alterations.
The total cost of alterations, including payments in 1951, is $207,390.70.
COLUMN 4. Sale of Property. This sum represents the pro- ceeds of sales of art objects, books, and miscellaneous items. Although part of this sum has been used for alterations to the buildings, it is the intention of the directors to restore the total in later years, to be used for additions to the permanent collec- tions of the museum.
