SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
WATER COMMISSIONERS
OF THE
TOWN OF RANDOLPH
FOR THE
YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1892.
RANDOLPH PUMPING STATION.
73
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
As Water Commissioners of the town of Randolph, we respectfully submit the seventh annual report, also reports of treasurer and superintendent, in which we shall give what information we can in regard to the different branches of the water department.
At the commencement of the year, at a joint meeting of the Commissioners, Frank G. Morse was chosen chairman and C. A. Wales clerk of the joint boards, and also it was the unanimous vote that the services of E. J. Chadbourne, as superintendent, and E. J. T. Dexter, as engineer at the pumping station, be continued at the same salary as in the previous years, and we are pleased to say that we have found them always faithful, and that they have performed their duties in a satisfactory manner.
Although the last season was an unusually dry one, we found our supply of water sufficient, and we were not obliged, as in many places, to limit the amount to be used. By examination the quality of the water remains good. During the last year tons of grass, weeds, and brush have been collected and burned on the shores of the pond, our aim being to keep the water free from everything which would make it impure ; this should be done each year as the expense is very little. The water has been kept lower than usual, as the superintendent finds that by so doing we get more spring and less surface water.
The pumping station is now completed. During the last year the pump contracted for of the George F. Blake Man-
74
ufacturing Company of Boston has been accepted and paid for at a cost of $5256.44, outside of foundation, which was put in by S. B. Corliss for $307.70. This pump has been used most of the past year, and has a capacity of 1,500,000 gallons each twenty-four hours, and has proved satisfactory in every respect ; and with the Holly pump, first purchased, with a capacity of 2,500,000 gallons for twenty-four hours, and also with two boilers which, according to the last report of the inspectors were in first-class order, we think we are prepared for any emergency for some time to come, except for some accident which we cannot help.
After the work of putting in the last pump was completed it was decided to finish the station as far as possible, there never having been but a temporary floor in the station. The labor was performed by M. M. Alden, the painting and oil- ing by J. E. Nickerson, the piping and brass work by E. J. T. Dexter, and we feel that it is in good order and will require very little outlay, except perhaps painting, for a number of years. We cordially invite everybody to call and inspect the same and judge for themselves.
The Commissioners were also in favor of trying to bring the lawsuits and expenses of the same to a settlement as far as possible, and the standing of the same is as follows : -
The suits of the mill owners on Monatiquot river, after starting at Dedham in May, 1890, before Judge Barker, and by him referred to auditors, and the Water Commissioners not being satisfied with their decision rendered in September, the case was then carried to Dedham for trial before jury, Judge Mason presiding (for further particulars of which see last year's report), and finally during the last year to the Supreme Court, where a decision was rendered against the towns, the judges standing four to three, which is something that seldom happens in the supreme court, the judges being so equally divided in their decisions,
75
Everything having been done by counsel and former com- missioners that was possible, the case was settled, by order from court in November, by the payment in full of twenty thousand ($20,000) dollars, Holbrook and Braintree each paying the same amount at the same time and place. This is the end of this case, all expenses of counsel, witnesses, cost and expense are paid in full, and also at the same time we settled with counsel in full to date for balances duc them since the commencement of water works. Still realiz- ing that the damages were unreasonable, we are glad to say that it is the end of that case forever.
There remains the suit of J. T. Langford, which has been standing since the completion of the works. The case has been before Judge Bennett, whose ruling was in favor of the town. Mr. Langford not being satisfied to take the amounts decided for the town to pay, the case is at a stand- still. Settlement has also been delayed on account of the sickness of Mr. Tidd, the engineer on the construction of the works, also by advice of counsel, Messrs. Gaston and Snow. For further particulars of this case, see previous reports. We can give no other information when the case will be settled.
The last case that can come against the town, the time by law having passed that they can be brought up, is the case of George P. Niles and others. This was the privilege formerly owned by George White on Granite Street. Their claim against the three towns is for fifteen hundred ($1500) dol- lars.
At a joint meeting of commissioners of Braintree, Hol- brook and Randolph held in Braintree, it was voted to make them an offer of five hundred ($500) dollars, and they were unanimous in their opinion that this was all they ought to receive.
Under section 6, chapter 217, of the acts of the legislature
76
for the year 1885, the town is required each year to raise by taxation a sum which, with the income derived from the water rates, will be sufficient to pay the current annual ex- pense of operating its works. And the interest, as it accrues on the notes, bonds, or script issued under said act by said town, is to make such contributions to its sinking fund and payments on the principal as may be required under the provisions of said act.
We have the next year the interest on an extra twenty- five thousand ($25,000) dollars and also payment towards sinking fund for the same.
The sinking fund at the present time is deposited in the safety deposit vaults in Boston and is invested as follows : - Three (3) 4} per cent Fitchburg Railroad bonds, $1000 each (par value) $3,000 00
Twelve (12) town of Randolph 4 per cent bonds 12,000 00 Three (3) Old Colony R.R. 4 per cent reg'd bonds 3,000 00 One (1) Maine Central bond 500 00
One (1) town of Randolph note
3,575 00
$22,075 00 Also cash in hands of treasurer (see treasurer's report) .
The amounts due from the town to be paid on sinking fund and interest account are :
For sinking fund
$3,575 00
Interest on $145,000 bonds at 4 per cent · 5,800 00
$9,375 00
The Commissioners recommend an appropriation for the next year same as last year :
For sinking fund
. $3,575 00
For interest on water loan
4,800 00
For hydrant and other service . 2,000 00
$10,375 00
77
During the last year $20,000 of the bonds authorized un- der chapter 112 of the acts of the year 1892, and accepted by vote of the town, have been sold for $20,406.67.
We now have on hand one bond ($1000) of the act of 1888, chapter 138, and five bonds ($1000) of the act of 1892, chapter 112, making a total of $6000.
The receipts for the past year have been :

During the past year the mains have been extended, by request of Rev. James J. Keegan, on North street to supply water to St. Mary's Cemetery, as voted by the town.
84
Also on same street to supply the greenhouse of Edwin Arnold.
We have been requested to continue the same to supply Central Cemetery by the directors of the same.
It is necessary that this pipe should be carried to the junction of Liberty street, as we would then be able to carry the water to stand-pipe in case of a break on Main street between West street and Liberty street, as it is the only out- let that we would have. We have enough pipe now on hand to do this work.
We come now to another portion of the town, where they have waited patiently without water for a number of years -Tower Hill -one of the most unprotected parts of the town in case of fire, and where through the last dry season they suffered severely for the same, and we would recommend that the pipes be extended there the next year. The pipes are already laid to the schoolhouse on Lafayette street.
The reason why this has not been done is that the com- missioners did not wish to take the responsibility of the same until the lawsuits were settled. The cost would be about $4000, and we think if the town would instruct the com- missioners that, with the money from extra receipts of water works, they could in some way go on with this work in the spring.
In closing, we would refer for other information in regard to standpipes, hydrants, &c., to the report of Superintendent ; and that we have a good, pure and simple supply of water, good works and one of the greatest blessings that the town of Randolph ever received and of untold value.

Sixteenth day of December, 1892.
H. T. BOILER, No. 1.
Internally :
All parts of this boiler are extremely clean, there being no scales or incrustation on any part except a narrow strip of this incrustation on the front head just above the water line. There was no sediment on bottom of shell. All parts
89
were free from corrosion or other defects, and braces were taut and sound.
Externally :
The shell-plates were sound, and seams, tube ends and fanges were free from leaks, fractures, or corrosions. Ap- pliances were in working order. The steam-gauge was tested and found correct. The brickwork was in very good condition.
Yours respectfully,
C. E. ROBERTS,
Manager.
I would recommend the painting of the outside of dwell- ing house and coal sheds the coming spring.
The grounds about the station have been improved by the addition of loam, resodding terraces and improving walks and drives. The planting of trees and vines should receive more attention this coming spring. We cordially invite our town people to visit and inspect this most beauti- ful part of our plant.
GREAT POND.
We have known no scarcity of water the past year and there is no possibility that we ever shall. The quality is excellent and its purity is unquestioned. In September the flash-boards at the dam were removed and water lowered so that reeds and water-grass could be moved. Several tons were removed from the water and shore and burned. This very important work should be continued each coming year.
STAND-PIPES.
No repairs have been required the past year. The paint is in a fairly good condition ; still, as a matter of economy both stand-pipes should be painted inside and out early the coming spring. The Holbrook lot was mowed and one ton of hay secured. The Randolph lot received considerable
90
attention in the way of getting out rock, and will require a few days' labor to grade and seed to grass.
WATER MAINS.
Six hundred thirty-eight feet of 6-inch pipe were laid in North street, that water could be introduced into St. Mary's Cemetery and for Arnold's greenhouses. It is hoped the coming year this line will be continued and connected at Liberty Street. It would give us an additional pumping main and make one less dead end. Other extensions are called for and are much needed. June 29, a bad leak was discovered in one 14-inch pumping main located in " Mann's Meadows." The pipe where the leak occurred is covered twelve feet ; owing to the large amount of water in the ground and coming from the pipe, made excavation and repairs ex- ceedingly slow. A few joint leaks have been found and were repaired without shutting off the water. The mains are in good condition.
FIRE HYDRANTS.
One hydrant was added the past year, making 130 in Ran- dolph. One hydrant was taken out and repaired. All hy- drants were open the first of December and put in condition for the winter, and it is believed that they are all in working order.
METERS.
I am pleased to report that we have three meters now in use and in a few days shall have as many more connected to our services. There is no longer doubt that this is a move in the right direction.
The old hap-hazard method of selling water by guess is fast going, and the more equitable system of measuring is coming in general use. I would earnestly recommend the use of metres for factories, greenhouses, stables where more than three horses are stabled, and in fact all places where it is known that a reckless waste of water is practised.
