REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON IMPROVED ROADS.
At the adjourned annual town meeting held March 15, 1897, the following vote was passed : "Voted that a com- mittee of three be appointed to investigate the subject of im- proved roads, and that they be empowered to visit other towns and cities to acquire information as to the construc- tion, care and maintenance of macadamized roads ; that the result of their investigations be submitted to the Selectmen, who shall cause the same to be published in the next annual town report."
The undersigned, a committee appointed in accordance with the above vote, respectfully submit the following as the result of their investigations :
The deposits of gravel in our town, which have furnished material for the construction and repair of our highways for many years, are now of such poor quality as to make them practically worthless. We believe no argument is necessary to convince the voters of Randolph that in the near future a radical change should be made in the method of repairing our main highways and in the material to be used therefor. Under the present system of making repairs, a considerable amount of money is expended annually with but very little permanent improvement to our streets, as each succeeding year finds them in comparatively the same general condition. To make our streets what they should be and have them compare favorably with other towns, we must adopt modern
19
methods to get the best results. In other words, they should be macadamized.
We think that no better or more available article can be found for the repair or rebuilding of our streets than crushed stone, which we find in universal use in the towns that have up to date methods.
Our town has an abundant supply of field stone which, when prepared, would furnish the material necessary for the repair of our present streets or the construction of new ones.
In getting the experience of officials of other places where they use all the modern methods of construction, they are unanimous in their conclusions that under no condition would they recommend a return to former methods.
Permanancy once obtained in the construction of the road bed is there for all time, and subsequent repairs are trifling in comparison to present methods.
To adopt these improved means, the town would be obliged to incur considerable additional expense in order to acquire the plant necessary to perform the work.
The following will give an idea as to what the cost of a plant would be :
Steam roller (12 tons)
$3,000
Crusher, bins, elevator belts, etc. · 1,000
Portable engine and boiler (25 horse power) 1,000
Total
$5,000
This plant should be able to crush 100 tons of stone per day at a cost of 20 cents per ton, to which should be added 30 cents per ton for stone delivered at the crusher, making the cost of the crushed stone ready for use about 50 cents.
The estimated cost of stone in place on road would be as follows :
50
Cost of stone crushed at the crusher
$0 5/0
spreading on road
1.5
rolling and watering
25
teaming & mile
30
supervision and weighing
.
10
$1 30
Making the actual cost of the stone in place on the road $1.30 per ton.
The amount of macadam necessary to build one mile of road 15 feet wide, 6 inches deep in centre, 5 inches on side, would be about 3,000 tons, costing $3,900.
To build a road 18 feet wide, same depth of stone 3,600 tons, costing $4,680.
To build a road 21 feet wide, same depth of stone, 4,200 tons, costing $5,460.
These are estimates based on the supposition that for our streets it would not be necessary to go very deep to get a solid foundation. Here is an estimate from the State High- way Commission :
At a meeting of the Commission held in the Court House in Dedham, in the month of October, the question was asked the chairman what it cost the State to build a mile of macadam road. His reply was "that for a road 15 feet wide it would take 3,000 tons of material at a cost of $1.50 per ton, making the total cost for one mile, $4,500." He qualified his estimate of the cost with the remark that the cost of State roads so far furnished no criterion as to what macadam roads would cost, as the Commission thus far has built only the worst sections of roads that could be found.
Cost depends a great deal on how much superstructure will be necessary on each particular street; but we think we can safely say that, to construct macadam streets the width of the streets of our town, the average cost would be about
51
$5,500 per mile. It has been brought to our attention that there are people who make a business of selling crushed stone to towns who do not feel able to invest in a plant of their own. The result of our investigations as far as this is concerned, is that the material furnished is of a very poor quality, and the cost about double what it can be crushed for by towns using their own plant.
In conclusion we would say that there are good and bad rollers and crushers on the market, and actual experience could only demonstrate which is the best.
If the town 'should decide to do anything looking toward the purchase of a plant, that part of the subject could be very easily decided by getting the practical results of the different makers from the places where they are in actual operation.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
To the Citizens of Randolph :
The condition of the schools has remained, with the ex- ception of a few changes, substantially the same as last year. On some accounts this is a subject for congratulation ; on others, it is to be regretted. We are to be congratulated upon the general excellence of the work which is being donc by the teachers, all of whom appear to have a realizing and conscientious sense of the importance of the duties entrusted to them and of the necessity of diligent and painstaking attention to the proper development of the young minds under their care. It is, however, in the opinion of your committee, a source of very great regret that we are still without the services of a superintendent. The advantages which we might hope to derive from the employment of such an official have been frequently pointed out and discussed at length in our reports of past years, and they need not be here reiterated. The usual article upon this subject will be inserted in the warrant for the annual town meeting. Avon is very anxious to join us in forming a district under the statute, and there is some reason to expect that Holbrook also may pass a similar vote. If so, an opportunity will be offered us to create a very compact and desirable district at a very tri- fling expense to each town composing it. Randolph and Avon are together not quite large enough to form a union such as to receive State assistance.
It is universally agreed by those who have had the best op- portunity to form a judgment of the practical working of the
54
superintendence system that it very materially adds to the efficiency of the public schools,- for reasons which are not far to see, and are applicable to institutions of learning in the same manner and to the same extent as to manufacturing and mercantile industries. The members of the School Board, even if their daily vocations permit them to make frequent personal inspections of the schools, which is rarely . the case, do not, however well fitted for the position they may otherwise be, bring to bear upon all the questions in- cident to the administration of the schools and the adaptation of public educational methods, the intelligent comprehension of a mind especially trained for such a duty, familiar with the latest ideas and constantly alert for improvement. There- fore it is that we earnestly hope that the coming year will at last bring about this much needed reform.
But there is another subject of regret, which is by no means new, and which we approach with no slight feeling of discouragement, and that is the subject of school accommo- dation. It is two or three years at least since we first called this matter to the attention of the town. In the meantime the situation has been growing worse, and we are no nearer a remedy. It is true that, at our suggestion, a committee of ten was appointed at the last annual meeting to look into the subject and to make a report, and it may be that some sort of a report will be forthcoming at the annual meeting, though late and incomplete. But it has been found almost impossible to get together a quorum of this committee, or, when one was obtained, to arrive at any harmonious or ra- tional conclusion upon the important question committed to our charge. Nobody denies that something should be done, and done speedily, but the best plan to be suggested is a matter of wide divergence of opinion. The School Board strongly advocate a union school building in some central location, to include the High School, the Prescott and North
55
Grammar schools, and, perhaps, also the South District school (No. 1). This will, of course, entail considerable expense, and at a time when the town is ill able to incur it. But this expense can be so divided over a series of years by recourse to notes or bonds as to make the burden comparatively light. We suggest that the committee appointed at the last annual meeting be discharged, and that another, composed in part at least of new members, citizens known to be interested in school affairs, be appointed, with instructions to report promptly and within a specified time.
CHANGES IN SCHOOLS.
At the beginning of the school year, Miss Ellen E. Mc- Laughlin was appointed in the place of Miss Fannie A. Camp- bell, in the Prescott school district. Miss Sarah C. Belcher was transferred to the North Grammar school district to take the place of Miss Emma D. Stetson, and Miss Susy L. Bal- kam took Miss Belcher's place in the South district (No. 1).
EXPENDITURES.
The expenses for the year 1897 have been considerably in excess of the appropriation, and of those of the past few years. This has been due partly to the fact that there has been one more week of teaching in the calendar year than is usual-39 instead of 38-and partly because we have felt obliged to begin to gradually provide more modern and com- fortable desks in some of the lower grades. We can only say, however, that nothing has been done which, in our opinion, was not reasonably and properly required for the department under our charge. Indeed, there are many things which seem to us necessary, and which, from motives of economy, we have not provided, because it was possible, at least, to get along without them. The following table shows approximately the average per capita cost to the town of its public education from 1892 to 1897, inclusive ; it appears from this schedule that the
56
per capita cost has not materially varied during the six years. This includes the High School, and the actual cost to the town from taxation is therefore to be slightly reduced to the extent of the income derived from the Stetson Fund, as it is also from the revenue of the Coddington Fund, the State school-tax and the dog licenses.

It is very creditable to the town that it has always been exceedingly liberal in its support of schools, and, while we regret the fact that we have, as it appears, considerably over- run our appropriations, we have no fear that we shall be therefore accused of a thoughtless and lavish expenditure of the public money. We have not been unmindful of the in- portance of economy, but, relatively, the efficiency of the schools is of greater importance, and while we have them in charge we cannot permit them to be without such supplies and appliances as are reasonably necessary for their success- ful maintenance. If the town must economize, it is better that it should be in some other department. We ought con- stantly to remember - and this we have said in substance again and again in our reports - that our Commonwealth has established an enviable record in the annals of education, and each municipality being answerable for the proper ad- ministration of its own schools, should take a particular pride in performing its duty in this respect, not only for the sake of its individual growth and prosperity, but that it may attain to the high standard set by the State, and not subject itself to unfavorable comparison with other towns.
