LIBRARY.
The annual examination of the library has been made by the library committee (consisting of Rev. J. C. Foster, J. White Belcher, Asa P. French, Miss Alice M. Turner, and Mrs. Clara A. Wales), and the books, charts, and furnish- ings of the library were found in their usual excellent con- dition ; all books belonging to the library were accounted for by the librarian. The rules and regulations for the gov- ernment of the library have generally been observed.
The following extracts from the twenty-first annual report of the librarian, Dr. Charles C. Farnham, to the trustees,
59
contain a condensed statement of the present condition of the library, and a brief summary of the work accomplished :
" It was upon March the 22d, 1876, that the library opened its doors to the people of Randolph, and upon March 22d of the present year it will have completed its term of twenty- one (21) years of faithful public service.
" During these years it has furnished to our townspeople in gratuitous reading nearly four hundred thousand books, and if reference were included, a grand total of about half a million of volumes.
"Such a record is one of which the friends of the library may well be proud, and furnishes indisputable evidence that the founders were right, when they decided that the people of Randolph not only needed, but would greatly appreciate, a public library. Nobly conceived, generously aided, it has taken a prominent place among the educational agencies of the town.
"As should be expected, our statistics indicate a com- mendable advance over the record of last year.
"The total number of books as shown by the accession catalogue to date is 12,990-241 of which have been added during the past year.
" The circulation for home use does not indicate other than a healthy increase over that of the previous year, being 19,- 850 as against 18,378 for 1895.
" The average daily circulation has been 71}. The largest daily circulation was on January 11th, when 265 were bor- rowed.
"The school teachers have continued to make a good use of the privileges accorded them to take from the library a larger number of books, thus supplementing the instruction of the text books.
"Their record for 1895 was 286. This year 394 volumes were borrowed.
60
" In these days when nearly everyone reads, and the ambi- tion of scholars is as to who shall know the most, observation and experience both teach us that the library is the most important adjunct of the public school, and is rapidly becom- ing as much a necessary part of the equipment of a city or town as schools or even churches, or in fact anything which means for the people a broader and higher life.
"It is almost impossible to overestimate the value of books intelligently used. It then becomes the duty and privilege of the library not only to provide the books, but also to train scholars wisely in the knowledge and use of the books. The library thus becomes the broadest of teachers and the most liberal of schools, and in thus fulfilling its mission it firmly establishes itself as a most important factor for happiness, order and prosperity in the community."
FUNDS.
The committee on finance (consisting of John V. Beal, Charles G. Hathaway, J. Winsor Pratt and P. H. McLaugh- lin ) report as follows :
" In compliance with the requirements of Article 10 of the by-laws of the Turner Free Library, the committee on finance herewith present a report of the receipts and expendi- tures thereof for the financial year commencing January 1, 1896, and ending December 31, 1896; also the result of their examination of the treasurer's accounts, and of such esti- mates and recommendations for the ensuing year as in their judgment seem requisite for the prosperity of the library.
" The receipts of the treasury during this period of time, as per accounts of John J. Crawford, treasurer, including the balance of $79.12 of last year, were $23,486.39.
"The payments from the treasury during the same period were $23,135.48, making an excess of receipts over expendi- tures of $354.81.
61
" Having examined the accounts of the treasurer, the com- mittee find that all bills and orders for expenditures which have been presented for payment have been paid by the treasurer upon the approval of the proper committee 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 ; that a cash balance of $354.81 as above shown is now in the treasury, and remains on deposit in the National Hide and Leather Bank, Boston.
" The committee further find that all the rents, the interest, and all the revenues from whatever source have been duly collected and properly secured.
" The remaining funds of the library, exclusive of the above mentioned balance, consist of five thousand (5,000) dollars invested in a promissory note of the town of Randolph bear- ing interest at the rate of four per centum per annum, and the sum of ten thousand (10,000) dollars, known as the 'Turner Fund,' invested as follows :
" Three bonds of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Rail- road of $1,000 each ;
" Two bonds of the Union Pacific Railroad of $1,000 each ;
" Three bonds of the Kansas Pacific Railroad of $1,000 each ;
" Two bonds of the Burlington and Northern Railroad of $1,000 each.
"During the past year the legacy under the will of the late Royal W. Turner became payable, and $21,079.83 was real- ized therefrom, with which was purchased ten Old Colony 4 per cent. bonds of $1,000 each, and ten Wayne County, Michigan, 4 per cent. bonds of $1,000 each."
A detailed statement of the receipts and expenditures for the year ending December 31, 1896, will be found in the report of the treasurer, hereto annexed.
The librarian and the assistant librarian continue to dis-
62
charge their duties faithfully, and to the satisfaction of the trustees.
Respectfully submitted, J. WHITE BELCHER, President of the Board of Trustees.

APPARATUS.
The apparatus of the department consists of two steam- ers, one hose wagon, one four wheel hose-reel (horse), one two wheel hose-reel (hand), one chemical engine, one lad- der truck, 3,500 feet of hose, extra ladders in houses of steamer 2 and chemical 1, etc.
In this connection, while speaking of apparatus, we wish to call the attention of the town to the fact that a new ladder truck is very much needed. The one in use is not suitable for service ; it is cumbersome to handle, and, as any one who has had experience with hauling loads will say, it is a horse killer; it is out of repair, and liable to break down at any time.
HOUSES.
The three houses of the department have each received two coats of paint, except the signs, at an expense of about $140; two-thirds of the floor in the house of engine 1 has been relaid at an expense of about $57. The signs should be repainted the coming spring. Water from the street service has been carried into the house of engine 2, and the house of the chemical. We wish the coming spring to in- roduce water into the house of engine 1 ; a small appropri- tion for painting, as above, for water pipes and some minor epairs will be asked for the coming year.
FIRE ALARMS.
The committee to whom was referred (two years ago)
68
the matter of a fire alarm system, have not as yet reported to the town, but a sub-committee has got an estimate of expense, as follows : For 20 poles, 11 miles of wire, 14 boxes, whistle machine and indicator, if plain boxes are used, the sum of $1,500 ; if the perfect, non-interfering boxes are used, the sum of $2,000 would be required to install a system of alarm that would reach all parts of the town.
FIRE LOSSES.
The loss by fire the past year to buidings and contents was about $3,500. Insurance has been paid on the same to the amount of about $1,400.
The damage to woodland by fire was about $300.
ESTIMATE OF EXPENSE FOR THE YEAR 1897.
We would recommend the same pay as last year for the following : $12 per year per man, fifty cents per hour for actual service at fires, and twenty-five cents per hour for guard or watch duty, fires in woodland, steward work, etc. ; engineer of steamer, $40, fireman of steamer, $30. We therefore ask to have appropriated the following :
For regular running expenses . $1,000 00

The services of E. J. T. Dexter have been retained as engineer since the commencement of the works, and we have always found station and pumps in good order, all repairs on the same have been done by him, and a good supply of water always in the stand pipes.
There is no change in the case of J. T. Langford, and no claims for counsel fees up to the present time.

SINKING FUND ACCOUNT.
Under Section 6, Chapter 217 of the Acts of the Legis- lature for the year 1885, the town is required each year to raise by taxation a sum which, with the income derived from water rates, will be sufficient to pay the current annual expenses of operating its works, and the interest as it accrues on the notes, bonds, or scrip 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.
The Commissioners recommend an appropriation for the ensuing year :
For sinking fund, same as last year .
· $3,000 00 interest on water loan . ·
