APPARATUS.
The apparatus so far as is known at present is in good condition, we purchased a coupling machine during the year which has been used to repair hose when they give out near the coupling on the hose, in fact, we can repair hose that bursts by cutting and attaching coupling which is a saving over the old method of sending them to be re-
107
TOWN OF RANDOLPH
paired, as a piece of hose can be repaired in a very short time and be ready for use, great credit is due steward F. J. Donahue for the success of this machine.
HOUSES.
The houses are in pretty good condition at present.
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM.
The auxilary to the Fire Department has received quit a shaking up during the year just closed. We were in- formed about two years ago, that the corporations that had set up poles in our streets for telegraph, telephones, light, and trolley car uses were setting up new poles and that we must move the fire alarm wires from the old to the new poles, the question at once arose as to who should pay the expense of this work, the town, or the corpora- tions that set up the poles.
We have not been able to learn anything on this point. therefore we were obliged to have the wires moved to the top of the new poles for the good of the service, the work has been done and from Central Square to Warren street, the wire was changed from the west to the east side of the main street to get them out of the trees as much as pos- sible.
Just before this work was begun, the alarm system was seriously injured by a severe electrical storm, the damage was immediately repaired, and about ten days later a
108
SEVENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT.
severe wind and rain storm caused damage again; repairs were again made, and still the work of the alarm system was not satisfactory, it was decided to call an expert to ascertain the trouble. The expert came, and you, gen- telemen of the Board of Selectmen were invited to meet with us and hear his report, which you did. He stated that there was a "ground" somewhere, and in his opinion it was a ground of 500 volts, and that he believed it was caused by wires of the electric railroad company. If that is so, then the question arrises can the town collect the amount of damage from the corporation.
There are outstanding bills on account of all this dis- turbance of about $400.00; for supplies, about $75.00; for new box 51, for which no apropriation was made, amount $62.25. The town voted to place this box (51) on West street, and referred the matter to the Fire Engineers, and they placed the box at the junction of Cross and West streets.
We have examined the several bills of the Fire Alarm Co., for labor and material, and find the following: That the storm caused damage of about $35.00; ground by Brockton St. R. R., about $50,00; Norfolk and Bristol St. Railroad, about $10.00; reconstruction . of the alarm sys- tem, about $270.00; the total of outstanding bills will be a little over $500.00 on account of fire alarm.
We are of the opinion that the system is in as good con- dition, and perhaps better, as far as the running of wires are concerned, than when first set up, and hope that it may rended good service in the future, barring the unseen power of wind and storm.
109
TOWN OF RANDOLPH.
We feel also that in the appointement of a citizen, and, resident of the town, superintendent of Fire Alarm, we can rest assured that the system will be cared for in a proper manner.
As will be seen in reading the expense account in this report that the appropriation for Fire Department wires has been exceeded by quite a large amount, at the same time we think the report will, and does show, the ca.tse for this extra expense, and that cause was beyond the power of man to prevent; another reason being the fact that we were obliged to move the wires to the new poles, therefore we are obliged to ask of the town a special ap- propriation to cover this extra expense. We very much regret the extra cost of this past year, but if you will ex- amine reports of past years, it will be seen that in many years there has been a balance in favor of the Depart- ment.
We therefore recommend the following :
For general expense $1,100 00
Pay of 48 men, $12 each 576 00
Pay of 48 men, hour service, 50 cts. $275 00
Woodland fires 100 00
Engineer and firemen of steamer, $20. $15 35 00
Fire Alarm 175 00
$2,261 00
Special appropriation $300, or $500.

TOWN OF RANDOLPH.
Report of Treasurer
-
The features of greatest importance in the finances of our town for the year 1907, have been the purchase of a site for the new High School Building and the issue, in consequence, of twenty notes of $1500 each, six of which have been sold during the past year; the issue of two notes of $1000 each, for improvements at the North Grammar School, and the issue of thirty notes amounting to $35,- 000 for the purpose of refunding certain demand notes which for many years have been a standing obligation of the town, some of which dated back to the year 1871.
Demand being made for the payment of a portion of these notes, relief was obtained by the issue of a series of notes extending over a period of thirty years, but we were obliged to provide for annual proportionate payments in extinguishment of the principal.
A material reduction in the amount received from the State Treasurer as compared with the amount anticipated, based upon the receipts of former years. added to our burden, and the increase in our town debt. shown in the tabulated report is thus accounted for.
