If the assessed valuation of the Town is $15, 400, 000, the best figure available at this time, every $15, 400 of additional expenditures will mean $1. 00 more on the tax rate.
If the proposed budget and all articles in the Warrant are ap- proved and if the above valuation figure does not change, it is estimated that the tax rate for 1966 will be approximately $85.00, an increase of 10. 4% over the $77.00 rate of 1965. Estimates of receipts from the State are always difficult to make at this time. Since these receipts affect the tax rate, this figure can by no means be considered final.
REPORT WITH RECOMMENDED BUDGET FOR 1966
The Finance Committee Report and its recommended Budget for 1966 is being published as a "Financial Section to the 1965 Town Re- port. " This section also carries the Town Warrant and the report of the Long-Term Capital Requirements Committee, which is a useful back ground for current, as well as long-term, considerations.

We recommend the adoption of the appropriations for General Purposes in 1966 itemized in the Financial Supplement, which total $1, 743, 710.
We recommend adoption of a budget for the Water Department consisting of the several appropriations also shown in detail in the Fin- ancial Section and totaling $71, 493.
In accordance with the By-Laws, the hearing on the Elementary School Budget was held in conjunction with the School Committee on Feb- ruary lst. The hearing on the general budget is scheduled for Monday, March 7, 1966, at the Town Hall at 8:00 P. M.

TOWN OF LINCOLN
REPORT OF THE LONG-TERM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS COMMITTEE 1965
TOWN OF LINCOLN
1965 Report of the Long-Term Capital Requirements Committee
An outstanding accomplishment in the field of long-term plan- ning for 1965 was the publishing of the long awaited report on "Land Use in Lincoln". It is an excellent report, well thought out and presented. It is suggested that every one study it carefully, for it may well shape the future in Lincoln for a long time to come. As mentioned in our re- port for 1964, these expenditures could be substantial and much thought must be given to avoid disproportionate spending in any given year.
As to the schools - The addition has been completed at the Lin- coln - Sudbury Regional High School and work on the Brooks School has been finished. There are no new major expenditures contemplated until 1969, when new class rooms and facilities will be added to the Brooks School. In 1970 more additions are planned for the Regional School.
All those who suffered parched lawns and shrubs last season will be happy to learn that the Water Department expects to have the new well in the Tower Road area on stream by June or July. The well has sufficient capacity to supply the total needs of the Town even in summer. The Department will continue exploration for additional wells. -
During 1966 the Town will be asked to vote on whether it wishes to have a foot and bicycle path running from Lincoln Center to the South Lincoln railroad station. This could have long-term significance for, if successful here, it would be indicated for other heavily traveled areas.

EXAMINATION OF DEPARTMENTAL PROGRAMS
2. LIBRARY
The $20, 000 requested is to cover expansion of present book shelf space to provide storage for 38, 000 volumes as recommended by the Am- erican Library Association. The expenditure was scheduled for 1967 but 1968 now appears more probable.
3. PLANNING BOARD AND CONSERVATION COMMISSION
The land acquisition project which is called the "By '70 Plan" is based on the Land Use Report. Negotiations have been completed. on one piece of property and are under way with respect to six additional areas. Additional negotiations are contemplated in accordance with the Land Use Report. Federal financing will be sought for 50% of the required funds and an additional amount - not determined at this time - will be sought from the Commonwealth.
The Town Atlas is planned as a series of maps and aerial photo- graphs for use in assessing, planning, subdivision proceedings and gen- eral town operations.
4. RECREATION
During 1965 a second skating pond for hockey was completed in Pierce Park. In addition, new ball fields have been completed in the Di- Perna and Brooks School areas.
5. SELECTMEN
A. Protection of Persons and Property
(1) Police Department
Experience indicates that one of the two cruisers should be replaced each year. Average annual mileage is 40, 000 on each unit.
(2) Fire Department
The present fire station in North Lincoln is inade- quate. A new station is planned near the intersection of Bedford Road and Route 2 on land currently owned by the Town. A decision on reloca -
21
ting Route 2 is expected this spring. When that has been resolved, the plan is to proceed with the new fire station as quickly as possible.
B. Highway Department
(1) Bicycle Paths.
The proposed paths are along heavily traveled Lin- coln Road from the Center to the railroad, and are a much needed safety measure, particularly during the school year.
(2) Road Construction .
The normally planned annual expenditure of $25, 000 is earmarked for widening and repairing Route 126.
(3) Chapter 90 Construction.
There is a carry over of $24, 433 from 1965. The normal planned appropriation of $18, 000 has been reduced to $15, 000 for 1966 and the years following. The money is earmarked for expenditure on Route 117, Route 126, and Codman Road.
(4) Equipment.
Normal planned expenditure is $6, 000 annually for replacement of equipment. This has been increased to $12, 000 in 1966 to cover replacement of two trucks, plus a motor for the grader- snow blower.
c. Town Dump
A decision on the relocation of Route 2 is expected this
spring. The National Park plans to take over the present dump site. The proposed new dump will be located between Routes 2 and 2A.
6. LINCOLN SCHOOLS
The $500, 000 expenditure scheduled for 1969 is for additional class rooms, library and gymnasium at the Brooks School.
7. STABILIZATION FUND
As of December 31, 1965, there is approximately $85, 000 in the Stabilization Fund. Of this amount, about $32, 000 has been earmarked
22
for school purposes and $38, 000 for general equipment. The balance is unallocated.
8. CONSERVATION FUND
As recommended in the "By '70 Plan", it is planned to make large scale land acquisitions over the next four years. For this program $500, 000 will be allocated over the four-year period.
10. LINCOLN-SUDBURY REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT (Grades 9-12)
As noted in the 1964 Long-Term Capital Requirements Committee Report, as part of the planning for the current addition to the Regional High School, a Master Plan has been developed which will allow for the or- derly expansion of the school to an estimated needed capacity of 3, 000 pu- pils. The next addition to the school will be needed in 1971, with an appro- priation for planning of $30, 000 required in 1969 and $2, 000, 000 for con- struction in 1970. Based on current projections, Lincoln's share of these expenditures will be 25%, with planning costs completely reimbursable by the State. Future capital costs for schools at the high school level are based on the assumption that the Regional School District will continue as presently organized. A decision to dissolve the District at any time in the future would necessitate a complete revaluation of capital costs and no such decision should be made until all factors are weighed with extreme care.
