RANDOLPH. Jan. 16. 1906
Prof. JOHN E. BRADLEY, Superintendent :
Dear Sir,-I would respectfully submit the following as my report as Truant Officer for the year 1905. I have been called upon 16 times to investigate cases of truancy, most of which were during the first half of the year, while during the last half there has been a marked improvement. The fault in most cases, I think, is with the parents, and in a very few with the children.
Respectfully submitted.
NELSON MANN, Truant Officer.

APPARATUS.
The equipment of the department is as follows: One steamer, one hose wagon, one hose reel (horse), one hose reel (hand), one ladder truck with full complement of lad- ders, one chemical engine, about 2,500 feet of hose, some of which has been in use quite a number of years.
The above are in good working condition, so far as known at present, and need at this time only some paint or varnish.
In accordance with the vote of the town at the annua! meeting in March, 1905, the steamer was sent to the engine and locomotive factory at Manchester, N. H., to be furnished with a new boiler and other needed repairs made under a contract of $1,000.00, all expense for freight and labor load- ing and unloading steamers to be borne by the Fire Depart- ment, the factory people in the meantime loaning us a steamer while ours was away, we to pay freight on same, which was done.
Since the return of the steamer it has been tested and inspected and found to be in good condition; in fact, we think the statement we made one year ago has been verified, and that the steamer is as good as one that would cost at the present time $5,000.00.
HOUSES.
The engine houses are very much in need of paint. It is eight or nine years since a painter wielded a brush thereon; 1896 was the time when last painted.
Some repairs are needed along other lines.
119
FIRE ALARM.
This year, as last year, the system has required some extra attention. This was due to the elements over which man has only partial control, also to the railroad and tele phone companies making changes in their lines, causing crossed wires, and in one instance putting a box out of business for a time.
„We had an alarm box placed on Main Street, at the junc- tion of Warren Street. This box is No. 29. This was done on the earnest solicitation of the residents of that locality. the appropriation for this box to be paid from the unex- pended balance of last year, or 1904.
We herewith recommend the following for the year 1906:

NINETEENTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
Water Commissioners
OF THE
Town of Randolph
FOR THE
YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1905
Report of the Water Commissioners.
To the Citizens of Randolph .. ..
The twentieth annual report of the Water Commissioners is hereby submitted. The past year our expenditures at the pumping station have been unusually large. A new boiler has been installed at a cost of fifteen hundred dollars, including removing the old' and setting the new one. New sash have been put in and the exterior of the station painted two coats. The coming year we think it advisable to paint the interior of the station and the residence of the engineer. Mr. Dexter. The stand pipes must also be painted inside and outside. The water the past year has been fully up to its. former high stand- ard, as the State Board of Health tests show. The full joint board have twice visited the pond and water shed. besides numerous individual visits, and wherever in our judgment there has been any possible chance of pollution the owners have been notified and have immediately and willingly made such changes as were demanded. For the first time since the water works were installed no appropriation from the town for water for public use is asked for, and we hope to make the water receipts cover all expenses except the contribution to the sinking fund. Orders were drawn on the Treasurer amounting to $9,640.97. not including the amount appropriat- ed for the sinking fund, as follows:
For Joint maintenance, $2,71I 32 Randolph maintenance, 6,712 70

To the Water Commissioners of Randolph :
Gentlemen: I submit to you my annual report for the year ending December 31, 1905.
The plant at the pond is in good condition. It has now been in operation for eighteen years. There are a few small re- pairs which should be made on the water ends of both engines the coming year. This will need an expenditure of only about two hundred dollars at the outside to put them in condition as good as ever.
By authority invested in me by vote of the joint board at a meeting held in the pumping station last spring, I made a contract with the Roberts Iron Works Company for a new boiler, to be delivered at the station, which was to be a dupli- cate of our No. I boiler which was furnished by them in 1891. I immediately employed town men and proceeded to make the building ready to receive it and relieve the old boiler of its setting, etc. A contract was made with Mr. Cashman of Quincy to furnish the necessary material and remove the old boiler and replace the new one when it should arrive and the new setting be ready to receive it. The labor of setting was performed by Mr. Charles Lyons of Randolph under contract in a thorough and substantial manner, the piping being done by Mr. Mahady and myself. We now have a fine boiler plant in every respect. The old boiler was sold to Boston parties
129
for junk and cut up on the premises, and from the condition of the material, which during the process of cutting was found to, be crystalized to a considerable extent, we cannot help but feel that it was not taken out any too soon.
Your instructions to make a contract with the A. T. Stearns Company for new sash for the station and to have the wood- work of the building painted has been carried out in a way which I hope you will find entirely satisfactory.
The pond has received the usual attention this year as regards cleaning the shores, etc.
The pipe line through the swamp between the station and the West Corners has been cleared of bushes and made passable in case of a leak in the main.
The top of a small hill in this section has also been re- moved, where there have been several bad leaks, the pipe being ten or twelve feet deep under this place, making it dangerous for men to work in the trench while repairing, and should we have another leak here in the future, it can be repaired for less than one-third of what it has cost before. The expense of repairing a leak at this place has usually been thirty,dollars or more, depending on the season, whether wet or dry. Respectfully submitted,
E. J. T. DEXTER, Engineer.
