EIGHTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT
Whereas it has become a well established fact that it is the intention of our Board of County Commissioners to erect and maintain a building or buildings on the property known as the Ferguson Farm to be used as a hospital for tubercular patients as a County Institution.
Therefore be it resolved that we, the Citizens of Randolph, in Annual Meeting assembled do most earnestly and sol- emnly protest to the Board of County Commissioners and to the State Commissioner of the Department of Health that as the above location is clearly and without question within and upon the water shed of Great Pond, said pond being our only source of supply for water for domestic use. We earnestly believe that if you persist in the use of this location as the site for this hospital that you will do us a grievous wrong not only in our property rights which are no small matter, but that you will so contaminate our domestic supply as to be a menace to our entire community.
We cannot believe that the above-mentioned location is the only suitable one to be found in our county; we do believe that it is not necessary to locate on the Water Shed of our source of supply or on that of any other town in the county.
Therefore, we hereby authorize the Water Commis- sioners to use any and all means in their power, separately or in conjunction with the Commissioners of Holbrook and Braintree that may be consistent with good judgment to induce your honorable Board and the Honorable Com- missioner of the State Department of Health to refrain from depriving us of any of our rights in the unpolluted waters of Great Pond, and we hereby instruct the Town Clerk to at once send a copy of this resolve to the County
