FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF
WATER COMMISSIONERS
OF THE
TOWN OF RANDOLPH, ALSO
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT, FOR THE YEAR ENDING FEB. 28, 1891.
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS,
The fifth annual report of the Water Commissioners is herewith presented to the citizens of Randolph; also the report of the Superintendent for the year ending February 28,1891.
The mains have been extended the past year through a portion of Central Avenue, North and Lafayette Streets.
It is intended as soon as the suits now pending against the town are decided, and a settlement made of the same, to make additional extensions on Lafayette and North Streets.
The stand pipes have been re-painted the past year, and are now in good condition.
The hydrants and gates have been carefully examined and tested by the Superintendent, and the same are believed to be in perfect working order.
But few leaks have occurred on the main pipe line during the entire year, and those have been repaired at slight expense.
The water continues in the same excellent condition for domestic and mechanical purposes as when first introduced.
A new boiler has been purchased the past year, and placed in the pumping station, and proposals are now being con- sidered by the water commissioners for the purchase of a new compound duplex pumping engine. When this is completed and in working order the whole plant and system of water- works for the towns of Randolph and Holbrook, will not be excelled by that of any city or town in the Commonwealth.
76
Several parties the past year have introduced water motors as a power for manufacturing purposes. As the amount of water required and used is unequal and uncertain, it will soon become necessary to require the use of meters in order to determine the amount of water which is actually used by each party.
The action brought by J. T. Langford in the Middlesex County Superior Court against the towns of Randolph and Holbrook to recover the sum of $24,325.89, the same being a balance claimed to be due him for laying the main pipes in 1886, was referred to Judge Edmund H. Bennett, of Boston, as Auditor, and after a lengthy hearing the decision of said auditor was in favor of said towns of Randolph and Holbrook.
The Court has not yet passed upon the findings of said Auditor, and no further action up to the present time has been taken towards a settlement by said plaintiff.
Other important matters in which the towns of Randolph and Holbrook are jointly interested have occupied the time and attention of the Water Commissioners to a large extent during the past year.
The first, and perhaps the most important, has been in relation to the suits brought by the mill owners on Monati- quot River against the towns of Braintree, Randolph, and Holbrook, which were entered for trial at the civil session of the Superior Court, holden at Dedham on the first Monday in May, 1890. Hon. William Gaston and Asa P. French, Esq., were retained as connsel by the towns of Randolph and Holbrook, and Hon. Edward Avery and Albert E. Avery, Esq., were retained as counsel for the town of Braintree. Hon. Everett C. Bumpus and Reginald A. Foster, Esq., appeared as counsel for the several mill owners.
Judge James M. Barker presiding at said term proposed referring the several cases to a board of auditors. This proposition was most strenuously objected to on the part of the several towns, and exceptions were taken by counsel to
77
said reference, claiming a right to a trial before a jury. The Court, however, appointed Horatio G. Parker of Cambridge, James D. Colt of Pittsfield, and Felix Rackemann of Milton as Auditors. The hearings were held in Boston, and com- menced July 16, 1890, and continued to September 20. Forty days were occupied before the Auditors, in addition to the time spent in the preliminary preparation and examina- tion of the several cases.
On the 29th day of September, 1890, the Auditors made the following awards :
To the proprietors of mills on Monatiquot River, $2,000 00 To G. & E. Hollingsworth, 19,000 00
To Hollingsworth & Whitney, lessees, 1,000 00
To O. Ames Corporation, 3,500 00
To Stephens & Willis, 2,500 00
To A. G. Morrison et al,
9,000 00
To Lydia O. Morrison, 2,000 00
To Jenkins Manufacturing Co., 11,000 00
To Betsey B. Hobart,
2,000 00
Total, $52,000 00
The total amount claimed was about $121,000 00
The net expense attending said suits, exclu-
sive of counsel fees for the three towns amounted to . $5,200 08
The proportion for Randolph to pay was 1,733 36
The compensation of the three Auditors amounted to 3,243 32 which has been paid by the County of Norfolk.
The cases will probably be tried before a jury at the next May term of the Superior Court at Dedham, as the several awards of the Auditors, in the opinion of the Water Com- missioners and counsel, according to the evidence and facts presented, are largely in excess of the damages sustained.
Another subject which will perhaps require the attention
78
of the Water Commissioners the coming year is the proposi- tion of the City of Quincy to obtain a supply of water near Great Pond. From the statement made at a recent hearing before the State Board of Health, the filtration of water from said pond to their proposed source of supply seems quite probable.
In consequence of purchasing a new boiler and an addi- tional pumping engine, together with the large expense attending the several suits against the town, the past year, all of which will have to be paid for from funds appropriated for the waterworks, it will be necessary the coming year to appropriate a larger sum for the payment of interest on the water bonds.
The interest the past year amounted to $4,600.
For statistical and other important information in relation to the Water Department, see report of Superintendent, hereto annexed.
Under Section 6, Chapter 217, of the Acts of the Legisla- ture for the year 1885, the town is required each year to make a contribution to the sinking fund, which, with the accumulations thereof, will provide for the payment of the water bonds at maturity.
The amount already invested for said purpose consists of Three 4 1-2 per cent Fitchburg Railroad bonds $1,000 each, $3,000 00 Eight Town of Randolph 4 per cent water bonds, $1.000 eachlı, 8,000 00
Three Old Colony Railroad 4 per cent registered bonds, $1,000 each, 3,000 00
One Main Central bond of $500, 500 00
Deposited in Randolph Savingf Bank, 23 80
$14,523 80
The Commissioners recommend an appropriation the ensu- ing year for the following purposes :
79
For sinking fund, . $3,575 00
For interest on water loan, 3,500 00
For hydrant and other services. 2,000 00
$9,075 00
Five thousand dollars ($5,000) of the bonds authorized under Chapter 138 of the Acts of the year 1888 have been sold the past year at a premium of $225 : accrued interest on the same, $2.11.
Five thousand dollars ($5,000) of said bonds remain unsold.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
To the Water Commissioners of Randolph :
Gentlemen, -- I herewith present you with my fourth Annual Report. as Superintendent of the Randolph and Holbrook Waterworks, for the municipal year ending Feb. 28. 1891.
At the Pond.
Great care has been taken the past year in maintaining the purity of the water in Great Pond. Nothing has been allowed to remain on the border of the lake that would lead, directly or indirectly, to the contamination of its waters. I congratulate the people of both towns that they have such a healthful and bountiful supply to draw from. At the time of writing, the water is flowing through the new waste-way to the depth of five inchies.
Pumping Station.
It became apparent from the time the works were first put in operation that a pump and boiler should be added, and two different times the putting in a new boiler seemed a necessity.
July 21, 1890 a contract was made with the Roberts Iron Works Company, of Cambridgeport, Mass., to build a new horizontal tubular boiler. The specifications called for a
86
boiler 72 inches in diameter by 16.4 feet long, containing 92 tubes 3-5 inches in diameter by 15 feet long. Shell 3-8 and , heads 1-2 inch thick ; shell and heads to be of best Home fire box steel. Longitudinal seams, butted jointed, with in- side and outside covering plates, triple riveted -rivets 3-4 inch diameter wire, driven in 13-16 inch holes. Longitudinal braces in the best manner - the stay-rods without weld. With boiler complete castings for setting, consolidated nickel- seated safety-valves, Phillips nickel-plated gauge-cock, Phil- lips nickel-plated automatic water-gauge, improved brass case 8-inch steam-gauge and combination column. Boiler to be set in the brick-work in a thorough and workmanlike manner, and connected to steam-pipes. The safety-valves to be put on. Combination piped to boiler with brass pipe - furnish-pipe and fittings to connect boiler to main feed-pipe. A new brass internal feed-pipe to be placed in old boiler. To furnish the same with one Phillips nickel-plated water- gauge, three Phillips nickel-plated gauge-cocks, new combi- nation column, and to pipe these fittings to boiler with brass pipe. Also to connect the internal feed-pipe to the main feed-pipe with brass pipe. To furnish and put up two new smoke up-takes, with damper in throat of each, and to con- nect the same to chimney with a 32-inch diameter smoke- pipe. To furnish and put a Locke's damper regulator in working order. Boiler tested and inspected 180 pounds per square inch, and insured one year in sum of $400 by the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company.
The terms of the contract have been carried out in every particular, and I do not hesitate to say there is no better equipped and working boiler in Norfolk County.
The old boiler has been in constant use for about three years, and only such repairs as could be made in' a few hours have been attempted until the new boiler was put in use. Since then the brick setting has been rebuilt, and the boiler inspected inside and out.
87
We now have two boilers in first-class condition, and the cost of keeping the two in repair has been reduced to a minimum. The following Report of Engineer, with table. showing amount of water pumped and coal burned.
To the Superintendent of Randolph and Holbrook Waterworks: The following is my Report for the year ending Feb. 28, 1891.
The engine and boilers are in first-class repair. The new engine, put in the last of 1889, was started Jan. 1, 1890, and is to-day working better and with nearly twenty per cent more economy of fuel than when accepted. The boilers are clean, and free from scales or other deposit.
For the past twelve months we have pumped 71,713,934 gallons of water. Total time of running. 1172.5 hours. Amount of coal used, including starting and banking fires. 490,858 lbs. Increase of pumping over last year, 26.322,634 gallons. Number of gallons put into stand pipe per one pound of coal used, 146. The largest pumping in one day, July 29, 835,450 gallons. Smallest. April 3, pumped 94,913 gallons.

The coal house received one coat of paint during the last summer, and no repairs will be required the coming year. The grounds about the pumping station received the usual care. A part of the ground south of the south driveway was graded, and without doubt will be finished the present year.
Stand Pipes.
In June last a crack was found in the flange of the 12-inch pipe that was riveted to the bottom of the Randolph stand pipe. The break was similar to the one that occurred in the Holbrook pipe the year before.
During the repairs the inside was thoroughly cleaned and two coats of paint applied ; the outside was painted once with the so-called Government Water-proof Paint, and with good results. The Holbrook stand pipe received one coat outside of the same paint that was used on the Randolph pipe ; the inside was cleaned and painted the previous Au- tumn. Both stand pipes are in first-class condition, and, debarring accidents, no outlay will be required the coming year.
The Holbrook stand pipe lot was ploughed, graded, and seeded to grass last fall.
Water Mains.
The water mains are in good condition. A few joint leaks have been found, and repaired, in most cases, without the shutting off of water. No leaks have occurred in any pipes laid the past year.
Fire Hydrants.
Four hydrants have been added the past year, making in all one hundred and nineteen belonging to the works. Two
89
were moved, on Liberty Street, to correspond with the out- side edge of the sidewalk. Hydrants were inspected in the Fall, and found in working order.
New Extensions.
The laying of water mains, setting hydrants and gates, and putting in of services was done by men employed directly by the Water Department under the direction of the Super- intendent. In former years this work has been let out. A new Abbot Downing wagon and suitable tools were purchased, which necessitated an outlay that will not be required again for several years to come. The work was well and econom- ically done, and at a saving to the Department.
Names of streets that were piped the past season, with lengths of mains.
