APPARATUS AND HOSE.
The equipment of the department is as follows : One hose wagon, one hose reel (horse), one small reel (hand), one ladder truck, one chemical engine, about 2,500 feet of hose, extra ladders, etc.
The above are in good condition as far as can be seen at present.
We wish to call the attention of the town to the fact that they own a steamer that is useless in its present condition for fire purposes in case of accident to our water system. One year ago we reported this condition of the steamer and gave estimates of the expense to put the steamer in condi- tion for active service; which was that for about $300 it could probably be made to do service for a brief period, and that for about $1100, it could be put in condition, that would make it as good as a new steamer that will cost $5000. We therefore repeat our former opinion on this subject that the town ought to put the steamer in condition for active service. We would, therefore, recommend that the town raise and appropriate the sum of $1100 to put the steamer in proper condition for fire service.
125
HOUSES.
The houses need paint, and more especially the window sashes must be attended to the coming season, and if pos- sible one of the houses receive a coat of paint.
FIRE ALARM.
The system has needed some extra attention the past year as will be seen by the expense account; this is due in part to the elements of wind and storm, and also to the presence of many wires on our streets with so many trees.
We would recommend the following :
Miscellaneous expenses $1,100 00

NINETEENTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
WATER COMMISSIONERS
OF THE
TOWN OF RANDOLPH,
FOR THE
YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1904.
128
REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS.
To the Citizens of Randolph :
The nineteenth annual report of the Water Commissioners for the year ending December 31, 1904, is hereby submitted. The water as shown by the analysis of the State Board of Health is fully as pure as it has been in former years, and we intend to keep it so. The water shed is being closely watched and we have instructions from the State Board of Health which will be enforced as we think necessary to pre- vent any pollution of the waters of the pond. We have this year, as in past years, removed as much as possible the grass and rushes growing in the pond, and the past summer, on account of the extremely low water, were enabled to remove much more than usual. There have been several leaks in the mains caused by the lead blowing out of the joints, one bad one in the swamp that cost about twenty-five dollars to repair. The pumping station and everything connected with it except the old boiler and feed pump is in good condition, and we have been exceedingly fortunate in having this boiler with the fractured plates run us through the year, and we hope to make it last a while longer or until such time as the insurance company will accept it with- out reducing the pressure which they now allow. We may be obliged to replace it with a new one this year and we have got to be prepared to meet the payment for it.
The financial showing by our Treasurer, Joseph T. Leahy,
129
is very satisfactory to us, and the large balance we show enables us to reduce the amount appropriated by the town for hydrant service and public use one thousand dollars.
Orders were drawn on the Treasurer amounting to $9,591.62, not including the amount appropriated for the sinking fund, as follows :
On account of Joint maintenance $2,008 64

To the Water Commissioners of Randolph:
Gentlemen,-I submit to you my seventeenth annual report for the year ending December 31, 1904.
With the exception of such general wear as is to be expected in a plant of this size, everything is about the same as at the end of last year.
I would again bring to your attention the necessity of preparing to replace our old boiler with a new one in the near future, as the insurance company threatens to reduce the pressure allowed, and when that is done we shall be unable to do the work with it, as we are now running it at the lowest pressure that will operate the engines satisfactory. Our boiler feed pump mentioned in last year's report has held out through the year but is liable to give out at any time beyond repair, as the metal it is constructed of is so affected by the action of the water that it is surprising it has held out so long. Beyond this there are no repairs in sight, and I have every reason to believe that the mainte- nance account at the station will be small the coming year.
Following is the usual table :

Randolph and Holbrook Water Works, Randolph, Mass. :
The Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company make the following report of the condition of your steam boiler inspected on the twenty-third day of November, 1904, by Inspector C. H. Morse.
One H. T. Boiler, No. 1.
Internally .- The shell plates, heads and tubes were free from scale or deposit. Bracing was sound and taut, and openings to steam and water connections were clear. The fusible plug was in good order.
Externally .- The fire surfaces were free from burns or fractures. Seams and tube ends were tight. Boiler appli- ances were in good order. Brick work at this time was being repaired. Pressure gauge was correct.
Yours respectfully,
C. E. ROBERTS, Manager.

Randolph and Holbrook Water Works, Randolph, Mass. :
The Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company make the following report of the condition of your steam boiler inspected on the twenty-eighth day of December, 1904, by Inspector C. H. Morse.
137
One H. T. Boiler, No. 2.
Internally .- The surfaces of shell plates, heads and tubes are practically clean. On the lower part of the first course near the hand holes the plates are corroded, the latter being in the form of pitting. This is old and is not active at present. Bracing was sound and taut. No other defects were noted at laps or flanges. Openings to steam and water connections were clear. The fusible plug was in good order.
Externally .- The patch on first course and also on second course show no signs of distress or leakage. Seams and tube ends were tight. The safety-valve and other boiler attachments were in good repair. Pressure gauge was prac- tically correct. This boiler shows general deterioration and as the patches are but single riveted we would advise, as has been previously recommended, that the matter of replacing this boiler with a new one meet with your early consideration, as a material reduction in pressure will soon become necessary for safety.
Yours respectfully, C. E. ROBERTS, Manager.
Boston, Mass., December 30th, 1904.
STATE ANALYSIS OF THE WATER OF GREAT POND.
May .- Turbidity, slight ; sediment, slight ; odor, faintly unpleasant.
August .- Turbidity, slight ; sediment, very slight ; odor, faintly vegetable.
November .- Turbidity, very slight; sediment, very slight ; odor, distinctly vegetable.
138
RULES AND REGULATIONS.
The following regulations, until further notice, shall be considered a part of the contract with every person who uses water :
1. All applications for the use of water must be made at the office of the Water Commissioners, and state fully the purposes for which it is intended to be used. Water will not be introduced into any building or premises except on the written application of the owner thereof, or by a duly authorized agent. The property will in all cases be held responsible for the water rates.
2. All persons taking water must keep their water pipes and fixtures in good repair and protected from the frost at their own expense. They will be held liable for all damages resulting from their failure to do so. They shall prevent all unnecessary waste, and water shall not be left running to prevent freezing. The Water Commissioners or their agent may, from time to time, ascertain the quantity of water used, the manner of its use, and whether there is any unnecessary waste. They and their agents shall have free access to the premises supplied, to examine the apparatus, and if any fix- tures are found not to be in good order, they shall direct them repaired, and if not repaired within two days the water shall be shut off and not let on again until such repairs are made, and the sum of two dollars paid for shutting off and turning on the water.
3. The occupant of any premises, when unnecessary waste of water occurs, shall be liable to a fine of two dollars for the first offence, and four dollars for the second offence during the same year, and shall be notified thereof in writing; and if such waste is not prevented and the fine aforesaid paid
139
within two days from the time when the said notice is given, the water shall be shut off from the premises, and shall not be again let on for the same occupant until the waste be stopped and the fine paid, together with an additional sum of two dollars for shutting off and letting on the water; and in case of a third or subsequent offence the water shall be shut off, and shall not again be let on except by a vote of the Water Commissioners and the payment of such fine, not exceeding ten dollars, as the Water Commissioners may im- pose.
4. Any person supplied with water shall not allow another to take water from their fixtures without the written permis- sion of the Water Commissioners. If any tenant, having no fixtures, has any use of such fixtures, full rates will be charged for such use by each tenant.
5. All parties using water in stables, for horses or other animals, will be charged schedule rates for the same, whether it be carried by hand or through hose.

All persons using water for building purposes are re- quired to obtain a permit from the Water Commissioners before taking water from any faucet or fixture connected with the water works, and all water takers are warned not to let any party take water from their premises until they show a permit from the Water Commissioners. Any person furnishing water in violation of this section will be subject to a fine of not less than five nor more than twenty dollars, and if the same when levied is not paid within three days from the time when the notice thereof is given, the water will be shut off from the premises, and will not be let on again until such fine is paid.

140
missioners ; but the Engineers of the Fire Department shall in all cases have control of hydrants at fires and for practice.
9. The Commissioners reserve the right to restrict the use of hose or fountain, to shut off the water in all cases when it becomes necessary to make extensions or repairs, or for violation of any of the regulations, or whenever they deem it expedient.
10. The regular rates for the use of water shall be payable in advance on the first days of January and July of each year, except where water is supplied to manufacturers by special agreement. In all cases of non-payment of the water rates within ten days after the same is due, as well as for any violation of these rules and regulations, the supply will be shut off, and the water will not again be let on except upon the payment of the amount due, and the sum of two dollars for shutting off and letting on the water.

14. All service pipes will be put in by the Water Com- missioners. All applicants for the introduction of service pipes into their premises are required to make written appli- tion therefor at the office of the Water Commissioners. The Commissioners may then proceed to lay the necessary service pipes to the interior of the building, provided all expenses incurred beyond the line of the street shall be paid by the owner of the premises, who shall thereafter maintain
141
and keep the same in good order at his own cost; and the same shall be at all times subject to the control of the Com- missioners. All applicants for whom the pipe is laid will be charged for the use of one faucet whether the water is used or not, unless they pay all expense that has been incurred in laying such service pipe, and in no case will the main be tapped more than once for the same premises, unless the additional expense is borne by the owner.
