" Whereas, by an Act of the General Court of this Com- monwealth, that incorporated the south precinct of Braintree in the County of Suffolk into a town by the name of Ran- dolph, I, the subscriber am authorized to issue a warrant to one of the principal inhabitants of the said town of Randolph for the purpose of calling a town meeting in the said town of Randolph.
"To Samuel Bass, Esq. : You, sir, pursuant to the said Act are hereby requested to warn and give notice to all the inhabitants of the said town of Randolph who are qualified by law to vote in town affairs, to assemble and meet at the meeting house in the said town of Randolph on the first day of April next, at ten o'clock in the forenoon, to choose all such officers as towns in this Commonwealth are required to choose at their annual town meeting in the month of March or April, annually.
"Given under my hand at Braintree aforesaid, this eight- eenth day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand, seven hundred and ninety-three.
SAMUEL NILES,
Justice of the Peace."
Pursuant to this warrant, a warrant was issued by Samuel Bass, calling two town meetings on the same day, one in the
145
forenoon to choose town officers, and one in the afternoon to vote for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and six Senators for the. County of Suffolk.
Following this are the records of town meetings in con- secutive order to the year 1820, when the following entry is found :
"It appears necessary those books containing town records should not be much defaced, the first part of this book starts some from the binding, the last part has been used as a memo- randum and further it is much more convenient keeping rec- ords on books lined than plain. The Clerk has for the above reasons purchased another book to be kept exclusively for record of the proceedings of town meetings from A.D. 1820 the succeeding years."
Accordingly, the old book, though not more than one half filled, was used for no further records of town meetings, but the practice of entering the various memoranda therein was . continued until 1842, when a more systematic plan was or- iginated and continued with various enlargements and im- provements to the present day. While commenting on the old records, although realizing that this report is not intended for such a purpose, the Clerk could not resist the inclination to submit a few prominent features. On the last page of the book, occupying a space not more than an inch in width, is recorded the census of 1800.

Again, in marked contrast to the value of salt meadow grass, which is practically worthless at the present day, is shown the prices realized in various years, taken at random :
1802, $51.50 1807, $85.90 1818, $77.75.
1806, 78.10 1811, 68.50 1838, 64.76
According to the records of 1793, men received for town work four shillings per day to August 1, and three shillings per day thereafter. The amount of money appropriated each year averaged $700 for town expenses and $500 for schools.
The report of the committee appointed to settle with their retiring treasurer in 1807 consisted of nine items amounting to $1,263.46.
With features similar to the foregoing the records are re- plete, and are of interest by way of contrast with those of today; but, however much the Clerk would like to present them, lack of space forbids. These few passages are men- tioned to relieve somewhat the " stiffness " of a town report, and, if the public so desires, will pave the way for more ex- tended notes in future reports.
Another feature which is deemed worthy of mention is the fact that numbers of our citizens, through no fault of their own, have no knowledge of our town by-laws, and to en- lighten them as well as to keep the by-laws before the public, which the Clerk thinks should be done by frequent publica- tion, a copy of the same is presented :
BY-LAWS OF THE TOWN OF RANDOLPH.
"I. No person except the Selectmen, the Surveyors of Highways in the lawful performance of their duties, or those acting under their orders, shall break or dig up the ground in any street or public way in the town without first obtain- ing a written permit from the Selectmen ; and all persons acting under such permit shall put up and maintain a suita- ble railing or fence around the part of the street so broken
147
up, so long as the same shall remain unsafe or inconvenient for travelers, and he or they shall keep one or more lighted lanterns fixed to such railing or fence, or in some other way, exposed every night from twilight in the evening through the whole night, so long as such street or way shall be or remain unsafe or inconvenient for travelers.
" II. No building shall be removed over a public street or way without written permission from the Selectmen ; and the Selectmen, before granting permission to move a building, shall ascertain if the proposed removal can be made without injury or destruction to trees, shrubs, or other fixture of ornament or utility, belonging to the public or to individu- als ; and they may require the applicant to furnish satisfac- tory security to indemnify the town, or any individuals whose right may be affected, for any damage caused by said removal.
"III. No person shall make any indecent figures or write any indecent or obscene words upon any wall, post or build- ing, or in any public place.
"IV. No person shall ride, drive, or suffer a horse under his control to go at an immoderate or unreasonable rate, in any street or public place within the town, so as thereby to endanger the life, safety, or convenience of any person pro- perly using any street or public place aforesaid.
" V. No person shall maliciously deface, remove, or de- stroy any bill, notice or advertisement concerning public affairs, unless the same shall be affixed to premises owned by him, or under his control; nor shall any person remove or deface any notice, advertisement, or handbill which has been posted up by permission of the Selectmen, or of the owners of the property to which the same shall be affixed.
" VI. No person shall be allowed to pasture, or suffer to run at large, any horse, cattle, or other grazing animal, upon any of the streets or public places in the town, either with or without a keeper, except within the limits of such street
148
adjoining his own premises, and in such manner as not to interfere with the rights of the public therein.
" VII. No person shall coast with a sled or runners, kick football, or play at any game in which a ball of any kind is used, or throw any stones or shoot with or use a bow and arrow in any of the public streets of the town.
" VIII. No person shall set fire to, or cause to burn or explode, any fire- works, India crackers, torpedoes, or other explosive articles, or discharge any firearms or cannon in any public street or way, or near to any vehicle passing thereon, or to any dwelling house not owned or occupied by himself, except in the performance of some legal duty.
" IX. No person except those having the care of the high- ways shall at any time set fire to any bushes, leaves, grass or other combustible substance in any of the streets of the town ; nor near to any fence or building not owned or occu- pied by himself.
"X. No person shall swim or bathe in any of the waters within or surrounding the town, so as to be exposed to view in a nude state from any dwelling house, or to persons on any public way.
"XI. No person shall behave in a rude or disorderly man- ner, or use any profane, indecent, or insulting language, in any public street or place in the town, nor near any dwelling house or other building therein ; nor shall three or more per- sons continue to stand in a group, or near each other on any sidewalk, or in any public place so as to obstruct a free pas- sage for foot passengers, after having been requested by a constable or police officer to move on ; nor shall any person by any noise, gesture, or other means, wantonly and design- edly frighten or start any horse in any street or public place in the town.
"XII. No person shall obstruct the free and convenient use for travel of any public street, sidewalk or footpath by
149
leaving or fastening a horse or carriage so that the way will be obstructed or rendered inconvenient, or by occupying the same with vehicles, wares or merchandise.
"XIII. No person shall deposit in or upon any public street, place or sidewalk in the town any stones, dirt, ashes, shavings or rubbish of any kind without permission from the Selectmen.
"XIV. The Selectmen shall appoint three or more police officers. pursuant to Public Statutes, Chap. 27. Sec. 85, who. in addition to their other duties required by the laws of the Commonwealth, shall make complaints and carry into execu- tion any judgments for violations of these by-laws. The compensation of such police officers shall be fixed by the Selectmen.
"XV. Any person who shall violate any of the provisions of the foregoing sections of this article, shall forfeit and pay for every such offence a sum not less than one dollar nor more than twenty dollars : and all money so recovered shall be paid into the treasury of the town."
Turning aside from the records of town meetings, we have confronting us the records of births, marriages. intentions of marriage and deaths. In the year 1844, an act of Legisla- ture was passed requiring town clerks to keep a complete and separate record of all births, marriages and deaths. Prior to that time. no attempt worthy of the name was made to record anything but marriages and marriage intentions. and of these, while we have a fairly good record, it is by no means a complete one. As to records of births and deaths. previous to 1844. they are so very meagre that they are of little value in tracing genealogy. Attempts have been made by the Clerk to acquire missing data, but with little success. From 1844 to the present day we have a very good record in all departments, and while some omissions may have been
150
made, they have been the exception rather than the rule. To any person having knowledge of such omission, I would say that ample provision for rectifying the same is made in Chapter 444, Section 14, Acts of 1897, and the State author- ities desire that we urge all who can supply missing data to do so at once. The old records of births, deaths, marriages and intentions of marriage were never indexed; even when compelled by the law of 1844 to make complete records, no index was supplied until 1853 ; so that a record previous to 1853 had no corresponding index, neither was there an index of marriage intentions from 1793 to the present day. This deficiency is not justly attributable to any one town clerk ; each performed the duties laid down for him by law, and it is only on account of the recent laws, before mentioned, to explain how they affect us, and what has caused the extra item of expense in the Treasurer's report, that the subject is here presented. The Clerk has undertaken to supply the various indexes ; and in addition to the expense of indexing there has been that of rebinding of the records of births, marriages and deaths from 1844 to 1853 ; also of the records of marriages in present use ; there was, furthermore, a new book made to order for the canvass of births, as required by Chapter 444, Section 5, Acts of 1897.
All the record books are now in good condition, but the work of indexing is not yet finished ; it is, however, being completed as rapidly as possible.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH T. LEAHY, Town Clerk.
