FENCE VIEWERS.
REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN AND ASSESSORS.
To the Inhabitants of Randolph:
In presenting this report we desire to call attention to the fact that the financial year closed December 31st, and that the present board coming into office March 8th has been in control less than ten months while having to assume the pay- ment of bills for twelve months. The board has also been called upon to pay bills contracted in 1903 which should have been paid in that year.
There are certain points which we feel should receive special mention. In January and February, 1904, there was an expenditure of $197.47 more for poor outside of almshouse than during the same period of 1903, and which this board had to pay, although contracted by the previous board ; but even with this excess the expenditures on that account for the year, exclusive of the charges for the insane, have been $663.17 less than the previous year.
In the highway department this board has been called upon to pay $100 for stone bought in 1903 from the Old Colony . Street Railroad and gravel to the amount of $94.32 bought in the same year. Of the expenditure of $1,225.46 for snow this board has been responsible for but $108.94. The street railway tax which goes to this department fell off $416.42 from the previous year, lessening our working capital by that amount.
The tax rate was reduced $1.80, and even with that reduc- tion the overlay was $416.34 against $251.72 in 1903.
4
The overdraft this year is $299.33, accounted for by the item of bank tax voted by the town, but not included in the general appropriation for schools, and also a coal bill paid from the regular town funds which should have come out of the Stetson High School Fund. Even with the above accounts this year's overdraft is but $299.33 against $1,076.78 in 1903, and in spite of the fact of the loss from the Street Railway tax of $416.42 and the payment of bills contracted in previous years.
Feeling that the office system was not what a town of this size should have, an adequate system of filing has been adopted and more complete records of the town's business kept.
Attention is called to the item of abatement of taxes. The item shown in this report, amounting to $522.85, repre- sents abatements granted by previous boards for the years 1898 and 1899, leaving portions of five years' abatements which have not yet been turned in.
In submitting this report we have aimed to give the in- habitants a fair statement of the condition of the town, and while we may have erred, as we are but human, we have endeavored to conduct the affairs on business principles with the best interests of the town at heart at all times. The board has worked in perfect harmony throughout the term and every action taken has been unanimous.

THE HIGHWAYS.
We found the highways in some places in very poor con- dition, in fact, some parts of our public thoroughfares had become literally worn out. We felt that it was much better and for the interest of the town to put these streets in order rather than to use the appropriation in constructing a small piece of macadam.
The stone crusher and road roller have not been idle, for we sold to the Old Colony Street Railroad 420 tons of crushed stone and leased the roller to the same parties 33 days. We also leased the roller to the town of Avon for 15 days.
The stone crusher was found to be in rather poor condi- tion. The soil and stones had buried the lower part of the support to the bins, it had become rotted and a new base had to be put in. Early in the season the crusher was started for a trial of its capacity, and after four days, the result not being satisfactory, it was stopped and an examination made. It proved that the Babbitt metal the previous season had been allowed to wear down so that the lower shaft was sprung. A new shaft had to be put in and other repairs made. The platform was also extended, so that time might be saved in dumping stone for crushing. After these im- provements were completed the plant was again put in opera- tion, and with practically the same amount of help the capacity was increased about 40 per cent., bringing the cost of the crushed stone to about 97 cents per ton, a price com- paring favorably to the cost in other towns.
In past years the water used upon the streets has been taken through the fire hydrants, and the construction of these hydrants is such that the use for this purpose is detrimental to them. We purchased during the year the standards that had been used some years previous and still in position, at a
11
satisfactory figure, and they proved their worth during the season.
No Superintendent of Streets was appointed, partly be- cause the board was desirous of ascertaining the cost of work and getting closer to the affairs of the department. The men employed have been under foremen in charge of the different jobs. The largest amount of work was done on Union street, which had become badly worn, and upon South Main street from the so-called Cincinnati road to the Avon line, which was in very bad condition. Some very good gravel was found for both of these jobs. A large amount of sidewalk work has also been done, and the sum- mary of this work appears below.
As previously stated, this department suffered a loss from the Street Railway tax of $416.42, and we have paid back bills of 1903 to the extent of $194.32.

WALES AVENUE.
In response to a petition signed by a number of tax payers asking that Wales avenue be extended from its westerly terminus to Cross street, the board granted a hearing on the same, and but one person raised a question that could be construed as in the least against it, and later in the hearing this party, after listening to the arguments, stated that the feeling seemed so unanimous that he would offer no objection.
It developed during the hearing that the part of this ave- nue already constructed and used had never been accepted by the town, and the petitioners were granted further time in order to present a petition to embrace the entire avenue from Main street to Cross street. This was done and a second hearing granted, at which there was not the slightest opposition expressed, and many strongly supported the project. With this spirit manifest, a town meeting was called, and it was unanimously voted to accept the locating and laying out of the proposed street as petitioned for.
Figures on the cost were obtained from a contractor, who signified his willingness to do the work for about $1900.
*This item is $416 42 less than received in previous year.
19
This figure must be taken as being based on contractors' wages and hours. The town voted that the work be done by the town at the wages and time adopted at the annual meeting. The work was done in two sections, the easterly section in charge of William Mahady and the westerly sec- tion in charge of Charles H. Cole. A large and hard ledge was found under the surface of the easterly section which required a great deal of blasting. The cost of the ordinary labor of the easterly section was $1,184.82, and the westerly section $768.18. The summary of the work follows :
