TOWN OF RANDOLPH
REPORT OF FIRE DEPARTMENT
Majority Report
Randolph, Mass., Jan. 1st, 1914.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen,-The following is submitted as the report of the Board of Engineers of the Fire Department for the year 1913.
The Department organized May 1, 1913 as follows : Richard F. Forrest, Chief.
Geo. H. Stetson, First Assistant.
George F. Taylor, Second Assistant and Clerk Houses.
Houses
The interior of Central Fire Station requires cleaning and varnishing at an expense of $35. Hose 2 house which was shingled the past year is in pretty good condi- tion with the exception of painting. We would recom- mend disposing of extinguisher house as it is of no use to the town and badly in need of repair.
Apparatus
The apparatus is in good condition with exception of Hose 1 and Ladder 1 which needs painting and varnish-
103
SEVENTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT
ing at an estimated expense of about $70. Chemical 1 is in about the same condition as the last report. We would recommend an appropriation of $150 to place it in first class condition as in our estimation as we consider it the best piece of apparatus we have and it should be the first to answer an alarm. We recommend that the reel at Hose 2 house be sold and replaced with a light one horse wagon and equipped with hand chemicals and be capable of carrying seven or eight hundred feet of two and one half inch hose.
Apparatus and Companies
Hose wagon No. 1, Frank B. Jaquith, driver. Hose 2 Reel, Michael Dory, driver. Hook & Ladder No. 1, Frank Harris, driver. Chemical No. 1, Chas. H. Blanche, driver. Hose. Co. No. 1, nine men ; John P. Rooney, foreman. Hose Co. No. 2, nine men ; Walter M. Howard, foreman. Hook & Ladder No. 1, Chas. S. Dolan, foreman.
Fire Alarm.
This year the system has required some extre atten- tion this was due to the elements over which man has but little control, also to the Street Ry., Electric Light and Telephone Cos. making extentions and repairs to their lines causing cross wires and in one instance putting three boxes, No. 24-27-28, out of commission also creat- ing a large expense which we will endeavor to collect
104
TOWN OF RANDOLPH
from the company causing the same. We are of the opinion that the system is in good condition as far as the wires and whistle are concerned and hope that it may render good service in the future barring the unseen power of wind and storm. We have decided to remove keys from the boxes on account of the wilful and reckless pulling of false alarms which in a measure is responsible for a large portion of the expenses of the department. We also believe it would be wise to place underground in the conduits furnished by the Telephone Co. for town wires the wires of the department when the finances of the town will permit.
We also recommend that the town consider the instal- lation of the Compressed Air and Storage Battery Sys- tem to be placed on the Town house as the firm furnish- ing power for the present mode of alarm do not wish it to remain permanently on the building. We also wish at this time to extend our thanks to the firm of Richards & Brennan for their kindness in allowing us to place our whistle on their factory and for their interest they have shown to the community at large.
Respectfully submitted, RICHARD F. FORREST, GEORGE H. STETSON, Board of Engineers.
105
SEVENTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT
FIRE DEPARTMENT
Minority Report
As this is my first year as a member of the Board of Fire Engineers of the· Randolph Fire Department, and be- ing desirous of rendering an account of my stewardship, I feel that the proper report could not be given unless I take this method of same.
The department has been reduced to twenty-six men without impairing results in the least. I very much ob- ject to the payment of accounts that are not properly vouched for; also accounts which may be rendered to this board without an order being given for same.
I would recommend the disposal of chemical engine which I have been trying to do; and no substitution under any form, as it is unnecessary. During the year it has responded to the majority of alarms, remaining almost totally inactive for the fact of it being almost entirely out of repair. I would refer the voters to the report of the Engineers of 1912. I recommend the sale of Chemical Engine house, and placing of hand reel and hose now stored there, on Tower Hill.
During the year we have been called upon to change our fire alarm which has proven a bugbear for some little time. On the morning of July 5, the residence of H. M. Briggs was partially destroyed, and as there was
106
TOWN OF RANDOLPH
insufficient steam to blow alarm, one of our Fire In- surance companies in a nearby town, which had the risk on Mr. Briggs house, wrote a letter of remonstrance to the Board of Selectmen threatening to sue the town for the loss sustained thereby for failure to see that proper alarm was not sounded. On July 10, a proposition was submitted to the Board of Selectmen and Board of En- gineers to install a whistle system complete for the sum of $1,800. Upon receiving notification on part of Light Co. of their failure to supply steam, I requested Chief of Department to interview Richards & Brennan as to placing whistle on their factory, but received the in- formation that whistle was not desired by them.
Further deliberation of the majority of the Selectmen and Engineers they decided to have a man at Richards & Brennan factory to keep up steam for the alarm whistle, which cost approximately $135. After finding this to be an expensive experiment it was voted to place whistle on Randolph & Holbrook water station at Great Pond which was done, and in opposition to the majority of the Board of Holbrook Water Board, by a vote taken and passed by them. After whistle was placed on R. & H. pmping station and proved to be a failure it was voted by the majority of the Board of Fire Engineers and the chairman of the Board of Selectmen to again interview D. J. Brennan of the firm of Richards & Brennan, who agreed to place the same on their factory, they to give
107
SEVENTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT
a verbal agreement to furnish steam for same for the sum of $250 yearly, as against $50 which we paid Est. of Charles Doughty.
I have been very much opposed to experiment with our alarm, as I was very anxious to leave this to the judg- ment of the voters. I think I have been justified in so doing as results proved, and especially as the same ex- periment has cost the town upwards of $625. As our alarm expense stands now there is a fixed sum of $500 we will have to appropriate yearly to maintain same, to say nothing of various other expenses that usually occur to maintain same in running order.
My solution of our fire alarm system would be that we appropriate the sum of $2,000 for installing new whistle arrangements. Our expense to maintain same would cost: interest of investment, $100; cost to maintain, in- cluding Supt. of alarm, etc., $200; total $300. I have given this careful consideration and have the estimate and other necessary data on same.
I would also say that our overhead wires for our alarm is gradually growing worse, I would suggest that we in- vestigate placing fire alarm wires underground as far as possible. As we have a conduit of the N. E. T. & Tel. Co. reserved for our alarm system which we could use and thereby placing 13 of 21 fire alarm box circuits under- ground. I have received estimate for the same which
108
TOWN OF RANDOLPH
includes placing 13 box circuits underground, and all necessary labor, stock, etc., connected with same ready for service for the sum of $1,524.
For the Minority, G. F. TAYLOR.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
FOR 1913
-
TOWN OF RANDOLPH
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Randolph, Mass., Dec. 31, 1913. To the Citizens of Randolph :
In compliance with the statutes of the Commonwealth the School Committee submits its annual report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1913.
The Committee appointed at the annual Town meeting, to provide better ventilation for the Belcher School, in- stalled the Auto Force ventilating system, during the summer vacation.
At the same time a new and much larger cess pool was built on the grounds at this school, making conditions in and about this building much improved.
The miscellaneous and incidental account is much larger this year owing to painting the Prescott Gram- mar building and Stetson High School as well as replac- ing ceilings at the Belcher School.
The appropriation on Fuel is also overdrawn, but the coal supply is sufficient to reduce next year's appropria- tion.
115
SEVENTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT
As a result there are a number of unpaid bills in the hands of the Committee, for books and supplies, which will be paid from the 1914 appropriation.
The Committee regret to announce the resignation of Mr. F. T. Reynolds, who had served as Superintendent of Schools for two years.
The Town of Gardner, Mass., offered him a flattering increase in salary, which he accepted at the opening of school year in September.
The district committee elected unanimously Mr. Sam- uel F. Blodgett of Framingham to fill the vacancy.
Mr. Blodgett comes to us with a large experience and highly recommended in his chosen work.
Changes continue to occcur in the teaching force at the Stetson High School. Early in the year Miss Nellie M. Stearns resigned her position to enter the married state and take up her residence in California.
Miss Mary H. Warren and Miss Mary C. Smith re- signed to accept positions in the Technical High School of Fall River.
Miss Mildred Allen also resigned to accept a place in the Quincy High School as Commercial Teacher.
Miss Geraldine Kennedy of this town and Miss Mary C. Devlin of Dorchester were elected to fill the vacancies, and Miss Gladys Haynes of Everett was appointed Com- mercial teacher.
116
TOWN OF RANDOLPH
In the seventh grade Prescott, Miss Marie Good- hue was elected to fill the existing vacancy.
She has since resigned to accept a position in Brain- tree.
The school is now in charge of Mrs. Edward A. Pow- derly.
A detailed statement of the receipts and expenditures of this department for the year ending Dec. 31, 1913 is annexed to this report.
The Committee asks the town to raise and appropriate the following sums of money to meet the School expenses for the year ending Dec. 31, 1914:

TOWN OF RANDOLPH
Report of School Physician
To the Citizens of Randolph :
During the past year, Randolph Schools have been al- most free from any serious contagious diseases. There has been at various times a scattered case of diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles and varicella, but these were iso- lated as soon as possible and the buildings fumigated.
Some talk was made on the question of closing any building, where there had been more than one case of diphtheria, but the writer had consulted the district health inspector, and it was his opinion that contagion was less liable to spread if the pupils were kept in school and examined frequently rather than at play outside. This was done during the past year at the Belcher School, when three cases of diphtheria were found.
During the past year more parents had the tonsils and adenoids of their children removed and improvement has followed in the school work of these children.
During the past term a system of ventilation was in- stalled at the Belcher building, and has relieved the rooms of much foul air, which must surely collect where somewhat crowded conditions exist.
I have had to give a talk the past term in regard to the common condition found in most every school, that is head lice. I would wish that parents would be more
119
SEVENTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT
strict in watching the pupils hair, for it is by such watch- ing that this nuisance can be avoided.
I wish to thank our local Board of Health, our Superin- tendent, teachers and committee for their hearty co- operation in this work. I am
Respectfully yours,
GEORGE V. HIGGINS, M. D.

129
SEVENTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT
By the will of the late Hon. Seth Turner, the trus- tees received for the benefit of the school the sum of $1,000, to be known as the Turner Medal Fund.
The income of which was to provide two medals, each year, for the graduating class.
For the past few years the teachers and trustees, of the school, have thought that a better use of the income of the fund could be made by applying this amount of money to the purchase of reference books. The matter was taken up with the heirs of the late Mr. Turner, who signified their approval of the proposed change in the following communication :
May 10, 1913.
Trustees of Stetson High School,
Randolph, Mass.
Gentlemen:
The heirs of the late Seth Turner have given careful consideration to the matter of the change which you pro- pose in the application of the Turner Medal Fund and are willing to consent to the change as outlined in your letter.
They have no doubt that you are right in your estimate of the situation and trust that the new disposition of the Fund will be in the best interests both of the school and the community.
Very truly yours, SETH TURNER CRAWFORD.
130
TOWN OF RANDOLPH
One room on the second floor of the new building has been assigned to library uses and is to be known as The Turner Reference Library.
In making this change we feel that the desire of the late Mr. Turner to benefit the school as a whole, will be accomplished and the pupils will appreciate more fully the generosity of the donor.
And thus will be more closely linked the names of the Town's two chief benefactors the Honorable Amasa Stet- son and the Honorable Seth Turner.
Respectfully submitted, EDWARD LONG, GEORGE V. HIGGINS, M. D., EDMUND K. BELCHER.
The report of the Secretary, George V. Higgins, M. D., is appended hereto.
EDWARD LONG, GEORGE V. HIGGINS, M. D., EDMUND K. BELCHER.
