visions of chapter 217, of the Acts of 1885, as though the same had not been accepted by said town of Braintree.
The town of Randolph having previously accepted said act, thereupon, at a meeting called for the purpose, -
Voted, That the Board of Water Commissioners of Ran- dolph be empowered and directed to make all proper con- tracts, to employ all necessary agents, and to do all requisite acts in its behalf for the introduction and supply for the use of the town and its inhabitants of the water of Great Pond, in the towns of Braintree and Randolph, which flow into and from the same or any part thereof, to the extent which is authorized by the provisions of chapter 217 of the Acts of the Legislature passed in the year 1885, and also so much of Chapter 269 of the Acts of the Legislature passed in the year 1886, as relates to the towns of Randolph and Hol- brook; and that the proceeds of the sale of such bonds of the town as shall be issued and sold under the authority of ·said Act of 1885, be and are hereby appropriated to defray the cost of the introduction and supply of said water for the uses aforesaid.
Voted, That the Treasurer of the town of Randolph be authorized and instructed to prepare, issue and sell, at not less than par, and with the advice and approval of the Board of Water Commissioners of said town, and in such amounts and at such times as said board shall recommend, the bonds of said town, signed by the Treasurer and countersigned by the Board of Water Commissioners, to be denominated " Randolph Water Loan," and not to exceed in the aggre- gate One Hundred Thousand dollars, payable at periods not exceeding Thirty Years from the date thereof, with interest payable semi-annually at the rate of four per centum per annum, for the purpose of raising money to pay the neces-
74
sary expenses and liabilities incurred in supplying itself and its inhabitants with water in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 217 of the Acts of the Legislature passed in the year 1885, and that the form and denominations, and the times and places of payment of the principal and interest of such bonds, be determined by said Board of Water Com- missioners.
Voted, That a sinking fund be established, and that such sum be annually contributed thereto as shall be sufficient with the accumulations thereof, to pay the principal of the said " Randolph Water Loan," at maturity.
Voted, That the treasurer be authorized and instructed to borrow upon the note of the town, the sum of one thousand dollars to pay the interest for the first six months on the water bonds, such note and interest thereon to be paid from the taxes of the year 1887.
The commissioners of Randolph and Holbrook have em- ployed as engineer Mr. M. M. Tidd, of Boston, to prepare plans and to take charge of the works, for both towns.
A survey has been made, through all the principal streets in Randolph, but in consequence of the large increase in the cost of iron, with no immediate prospect of a more favor- able opportunity to place a contract for the same, the pipes cannot be laid at first to the extent which was originally con- templated, and which the commissioners have used every effort to accomplish ; but as the amount of money placed at the disposal of the commissioners will not authorize the same, such extensions can be provided for by the town whenever it deems it expedient so to do.
About nine and one half miles of iron pipe ranging from four to fourteen inches in diameter and containing fourteen hundred tons, has been contracted for with the Warren
75
Foundry and Machine Company of Phillipsburg, New Jersey, to be delivered one third April 1, one third May 1, one third July 1, and all of the same will probably be laid the present year, within the limits of Randolph.
About one hundred post-hydrants and suitable stop-gates have been contracted for with the Chapman Valve Co., of Springfield, Mass. One third of said hydrants will be pro- vided with suction nozzles, and the whole number will be protected with frost casings.
The erection of a stand-pipe on Porter's Hill, in the town of Holbrook, which is to be thirty feet in diameter and one hundred and twelve feet in height, has been awarded to Kendall & Roberts, of Cambridgeport, and is to be com- pleted on or before September 1.
The contracts for the boilers, engine and pumping ma- chinery, with the trenching and laying of the water-pipes, hydrants, &c., and the building of the pumping station, will soon be completed.
It is expected the main works will be finished during the present year.
As payments in part will have to be made soon after April 1, it will be necessary for the town to make provision for paying the interest due October 1, 1887, and April 1, 1888, on the bonds issued, also to contribute such sum to the sink- ing fund as may be deemed necessary to meet the payment of the water bonds when they become due, as required un- der section 8, chapter 217, of the Acts of 1885.
Respectfully submitted,
J. WHITE BELCHER, PETER B. HAND, WARREN M. BABBITT,
Water Commissioners.
