ENGINE HOUSES.
The houses, with the exception of some repairs, are in good condition.
RESERVOIRS.
The reservoirs are full and in good order.
We would recommend that the town should build at least one reservoir the present year.
HOSE.
The amount of hose in the department at present is the same as last year, 2800 feet, - 1800 feet in steamer No. 1 house, and 1000 feet on hose carriage No. 2,- all of which is in good condition. There is also 500 feet of leather hose which is no use for steamers. This is all the hose we think necessary for the present year.
PAY OF MEN.
We would recommend that the town pay the firemen $12 per year and 25 cents per hour for actual service, and that the pay of engineers and firemen of steamers re- main as at present, $40 and $30, respectively.
APPROPRIATIONS.
We would ask for the following amounts : - Men 2 engineers, . $80 00
56
2 firemen, · General expenses,
$60 00
1,000 00
APPARATUS.
We think the steamers, hose carriages, extinguisher and truck are in good order, also the Independence hand en- gine. We would ask for an appropriation of $150 to alter hose carriage No. 1 into a horse hose carriage ; and we think the trouble in the department was caused partly by one company having a horse to draw their hose carriage. And by reducing the number of men, the sum allowed them by the town would pay most of the expense of running the hose carriage, and give better satisfaction, as the men would go direct to a fire, and not to the engine house as was cus- tomary heretofore. In closing, we would thank the drivers, engineers, firemen and each member of the department for their promptness, and all citizens who aided us during the past year.

STETSON SCHOOL FUND.
To the Selectmen and Inhabitants of the Town of Randolph :
The trustees of the Stetson school fund beg leave to sub- mit their annual report, in the hope of meeting the general approbation as to its tenor and import.
The funds remain, as so often heretofore reported, with the addition of the one thousand dollars recently invested on account of Mr. Turner's donation :

THE STETSON HIGH SCHOOL.
By the annexed financial exhibit, it will be perceived that the income from the fund, together with the town appropri- ation, has been hardly sufficient to meet the demands of the school, in consequence of the selectmen's refusal to pay over about the sum of $150 on account of their not feeling justi- fied in so doing under the vote of the town.
This amount, together with the passage of the dividend by two banks, has made us short $120 ; and we have to ask the town to make an appropriation of $1500 to keep the school in its present very excellent condition, and pay the defi- ciency.
The high school commenced its annual session on the twenty-fourth of March, under the charge of Mr. E. N. Lovering, assisted by Miss Ada B. Chandler. The advan- tage of the laboratory to the school has been very great, as the teacher is a person well qualified to use the apparatus and machinery to the best advantage in illustrating his work. The principal we feel happy in having secured, as well as the assistant, who consents to remain with us during the coming year. We feel that we have now at our command the services of well tried and faithful teachers to promote the welfare of the school and insure the degree of success that has attended their efforts this year, which it is quite sure will follow, if no greater come from their works.
The annual public examination occurred on the thirteenth of March in the high school rooms. The graduation, an affair most creditable to all participators, occurred in the Stetson Hall, where diplomas were presented in the presence of the trustees, clergy of the town, selectmen, school com- mittee, and a very large audience of much interested persons.

PUBLIC LIBRARY.
In presenting the eighth annual report of the Turner Free Library, in compliance with articles 3 and 4 of the by-laws, it is with feelings of sadness that I enter upon the discharge of the duties therein required, for I am again reminded of the death of Hon. Seth Turner, the first president of the
*Deceased.
67
board of trustees, which occurred on the eighth day of April last. His upright character and many virtues, with no devi- ation from the highest standard of principle and duty, will long be remembered by the people of this town. As one of the founders of the library he always felt a deep interest in its success, and indulged the confident hope that it might be to us, and to those who come after us, for long years to come, a source of inspiration to a purer taste, a higher cul- ture and a nobler life. Although taken away at the meri- dian of life, he lived to realize to a large degree the hopes expressed in the first communication to the town when he and the members of his father's family made the proposition to erect a library building and establish a public library, and make them a free gift to the town. It stands to-day on the lot of the old family homestead, not only as a monument to his memory, better and nobler than any triumph won in life's labor, but as indicating the material prosperity of a town, and the intellectual progress and culture of its people. His endowment at first, although liberal, yet for the full re- alization of his hopes he made provision in his will for the payment by his executors at his decease of an additional sum of ten thousand dollars, for the benefit of the library, to be hereafter known as the "Turner Fund," which sum has been paid by said executors to the trustees. A more ex- tended account of the same will be found in the report of the committee on finance, herewith transmitted.
TRUST.
The condition of the trust, which consists of the library building, library, investments and income arising therefrom, I remains the same as last year. The committee on finance in their report to the trustees state that the cash fund con-
68
sists of a note of the town of Randolph for $5000, bearing interest at six per cent per annum, which is in the hands o. the treasurer ; also an unexpended balance January 1, 1884 of $762.79.
BUILDING.
The committee on building (consisting of Royal W. Tur- ner, J. White Belcher and John B. Thayer) report the total amount expended for repairs during the year ending De- cember 31, 1883, has been $443.25; of this amount, $430 was for improvement and repairs on the heating apparatus ; there was also expended for rubber carpeting, $54.76 ; gaso- line, $232.16; fuel, $178.50; expressing, $19.89; janitor, $125 ; insurance, $43.75 ; other sundry supplies, $17.78. The receipts for rents amount to $615, which is in full payment to January 1, 1884. The parties who have been supplied with light and heat have paid their proportionate part for the same. The building and contents are in good condition, and the only extra expense for the coming year will be for additional improvements required in heating the building.
FUNDS.
The report of the committee on finance, with the state- ment of the treasurer hereto annexed, shows the condition of the investments, also a detailed statement of the receipts and expenditures, for the year ending December 31, 1883. The income for the current year is estimated as follows : -
From rents, . $600 00
Interest on town note, .
300 00
From Turner fund, ¢ 200 00
$1,100 00
69
Appropriation asked from the town of money received for dog licenses (estimated ),
$250 00
$1,350 00
LIBRARY.
The annual examination of the library has been made by the library committee (consisting of Rev. J. C. Labaree, Rev. J. C. Foster, Benjamin Dickerman and Gilbert A. Tolman), and they report that the library is in excellent condition, and its usefulness and popularity constantly in- creasing. They also speak in words of commendation of the faithful and efficient services of the librarian and his assistant in the discharge of their respective duties.
The report of the librarian to the board of trustees speaks most encouragingly of the success and increasing interest in the library ; it states "that it was never in better working condition or more heartily enjoyed by an appreciative public than at present; the circulation of books has been better than the average of former years, and the character of the books read is improving year by year."
The following statistics are taken from the report of the librarian for the year 1883 : -

The committee on finance (consisting of John V. Beal, John B. Thayer, Nathaniel Howard and Royal T. Mann) report " that they have examined the accounts of the treas- urer, and find that bills and orders for expenditures which have been presented for payment have been paid by the treasurer, upon the approval of the proper committees of the library, and proper vouchers therefor, by him retained and placed on file, and that his accounts are in all respects true and accurate ; also, that the funds of the library, exclusive of the cash balance in the hands of the treasurer, consist of $5000, invested in a promissory note of the inhabitants of the town of Randolph, and the further sum of $10,000, which was bequeathed by the will of the late Hon. Seth Turner, which, by the terms thereof, is to be known as the 'Turner Fund,' and the income thereof to be applied to the general purposes of the library. At the last December meeting of the board of trustees, said legacy was accepted in stock at its current market value, of which the following is a correct statement ; namely, -
" Two bonds of Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad, $1000 each.
" Three bonds of Union Pacific Railroad, collateral trust, $1000 each.
" Three bonds of Kansas Pacific Railroad, $1000 each.
" Two bonds of Burlington & Missouri River Railroad, $1000 each.
" Inasmuch as the principal of said stock at its market value
1 on the day of the acceptance thereof amounted to more than the sum of $10,000, the amount of said legacy, some of the coupons of the bonds comprising said stock were detached in order to make the total value of said stock (including principal and interest due ) equivalent to the sum of $10,000.

For this reason the income of said stock during the years 1884 and 1885 will be less than the regular annual income thereafter."
Said committee recommend that the amount received from dog licenses for the present year be appropriated by the town for the benefit of the library.
Respectfully submitted, J. WHITE BELCHER, Vice-President of Board of Trustees.
