To implement speed and traffic control, we are recommend- ing that the Town purchase for use by the Police Department a radar control at a cost of approximately $1, 000. It is our feel- ing that when drivers generally understand how effective this in- strument is, traffic will more easily be maintained at reasonable speeds where safety requires restraint.
In further response to outside pressures, we are recom- mending that an additional full time policeman be retained by the Town, primarily for service during the early morning hours. In today's conditions, it seems wise that an officer be available at all times "with his boots on", prepared to deal with those sud- den emergencies that occasionally arise in the dead of night. We will try to operate with one man on this night shift, through the use of walkie-talkies. The experiments with the dog as help for officers on night watch has been deemed unsuccessful and the dog has been returned. The walkie-talkie approach has been used successfully in other areas, including the city of Chicago.
7
Both the Police and Fire Departments continue to perform ably under the direction of our Fire and Police Chief, Leo Algeo. The problems of maintaining an adequate fire fighting force do not diminish, and the time is coming, probably by 1967, when the North Lincoln fire station is constructed, when the permanent force must be expanded.
WAGE BOARD
The institution of a Wage Board consisting of Richard Bail- ey for the Finance Committee (in place of John Tew), Perry Cul- ver for the School Committee, and Russell Haden for the Select- men, was described in this Report a year ago.
In that Report, the Board stated its feeling that a consist- ent approach to wage-setting in the Town was needed and postu- lated the policy that salaries should conform to the average of rates in our four most comparable neighboring towns, Weston, Wayland, Sudbury and Concord, wherever the jobs are directly comparable. Certain jobs are not directly comparable either because our organization is different (such as our combining with Mrs. Causer the three responsibilities of Town Accountant, Welfare Agent and Clerk to the Selectmen), or because of our size (such as our Library having a circulation only 50% of that of the average of the four towns). In these cases, as compar- able a rate as possible, preserving an equitable relationship with other positions in the Town, would be set.
With the cooperation of other Boards, this process has now been completed, and the budget includes the adjustments called for. (In total, they amount to roughly $7, 000 per year (to which must be added the normal year-to-year increase). The Town now has a rational schedule in the spirit of "a fair day's pay for a fair day's work" for recompensing its very dedicated people.
ECONOMY
After two years of relatively little increase in the tax rate, a significant jump is anticipated this year. So many things have contributed to this rise that it is difficult to find items of econo- my on which to comment.
8
Unit prices of white-line painting, new water-line construc- tion and other such items continued to drop on close supervision by Warren Flint. Outside contracting of snow-plowing was re- duced, used desks were bought instead of new ones, and vigil- ance, wherever possible, continued to be exercised by Mrs. Caus- er and the Town staff.
The Water Board has agreed to our establishing a Public Works Department, combining water, highway and parks activi- ties under a new man, expected to have some engineering train- ing. Lead men will provide working control in each of the three areas, reporting to the new Public Works Superintendent. This move should enable even more effective coordination of men, equipment and purchasing.
We have no magic to report, but wish to cite these exam- ples as indicative of our not losing sight of the need for economy.
CIVIL DEFENSE
In order to keep up with all the paper work that flows from State and Federal agencies, and in order to maintain the minimum activity required to maintain civil defense in the Town, we are recommending that a small sum be appropriated to provide help to make a director of civil defense more effective.
RECREATION
Two skating ponds have been completed at Pierce Park and have been used intensively.
In addition, new ballfields have been provided in the Brooks School area, in the DiPerna Recreation area, and the old fields rebuilt.
We have met several times with the Recreation Committee, and appreciate the great deal of work this dedicated Committee is doing.

PIERCE HOUSE
At the end of 1965, we were fortunate in obtaining the ser- vices of a couple, Mr. and Mrs. Leger, to live in the house, maintain it and make it more available for use. While as yet we have no furniture, we hope to make arrangements with Town activities and organizations so that the building itself will be more useful for townspeople.
OBITER DICTA
We have continued to enjoy harmonious relationships that make worthwhile and purposeful our common activities with the Air Force. The Air Force and General O'Neil were of special help in assisting the Town in the ceding to the Federal Govern- ment of the land on which is located the second major housing unit.
We are aware that present zoning and housing facilities make it difficult for many who work for the Town to find reason- able housing within the Town. In cooperation with the Planning Board, we are developing plans for an adequate solution for this problem.
As the year 1975 approaches, we suggest that all towns- people and the Town itself be thinking forward and developing plans and concepts for this all important Bi-Centennial.
We continue our deep appreciation of the worthwhile and continued activities of the League of Women Voters in helping to develop worthwhile policies and communications within the Town.
Retiring from active service on elective Town Boards are Charles Y. Wadsworth, who has served wisely and with humor as Town Moderator for six years; Mrs. Helen Gilfoy, who has con- tributed six full and vigorous years to the School Committee, and Albert S. Brooks, who has retired as Tree Warden.
During the year, Doctor Joseph Hart passed away. Doctor Hart had been a Selectman, a member of the Board of Health, a Water Commissioner, and was a veteran of the Spanish-American
10
War.
The Town suffered a great loss at the unexpected passing of Raymond P. Maher, our Highway Superintendent for many years. His cheerful and vigorous work on the roads made a difficult job seem easier than it is.
Ernest P. Neumann died suddenly on September 24, 1965. He served as a member of the School Committee from 1952 to 1958, and as a member of the Finance Committee from 1961 to the time of his death. He had also served on the original Plan- ning Committee for the Lincoln-Sudbury Regional School and on numerous building committees. His interest in matters of edu- cation and Town Finance was great and was manifested in a searching examination on many difficult problems and in tactful and cooperative assistance in helping people solve such prob- lems together.
