TOWN OF RANDOLPH
The Committee on Finance (consisting of Asa P. French, William H. Leavitt, James P. Duffy, Seth Tur- ner Crawford and John D. Crawford) reports as fol- lows :
Randolph, Mass., January 1, 1919.
To the Trustees of the Turner Free Library :-
Your Committee on Finance submits the following report :
The accounts of the Treasurer for the year 1918 have been audited and found correct. All moneys have been duly accounted for, and no money has been paid out except upon vouchers properly approved.
The Committee, by its Chairman, has examined the securities representing the investment of the funds of the Library and has found them to be intact, and as shown in the schedule contained in the Treasurer's re- port. There has been no change in the investments during the past year.
The sums appropriated by the town for the years 1917 and 1918, aggregating $300, have not yet been re- ceived.
ASA P. FRENCH,
Chairman.
The report of the Librarian statistically showing in detail the doings, management and results of the va- rious departments of the Library, and the reports of . the Treasurer showing the investment of the funds and the receipts and expenditures of the Library are here- unto subjoined.
During the past year the Trustees have experienced the loss by death of Mr. John D. Crawford, one of the members of the Board. Although elected as a non- resident trustee, he nevertheless, was greatly inter- ested in the welfare of the library and was faithful in attendance whenever in our vicinity. He was killed while in active battle in France on May 27, 1918. In

recognition of his service to our country and the su- preme sacrifice which he made, the Board of Trustees at a regular meeting adopted a resolution which was beautifully engrossed and given to his mother, who had it framed and presented it to the library which now hangs upon the wall of the general library room.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN V. BEAL,
President of the Board of Trustees.
Randolph, Mass., January 1, 1919.
Randolph, Mass., Jan. 1, 1919.
To the Trustees of the Turner Free Library:
The annual report of the Turner Free Library cover- ing the year ending December 31, 1918, is herewith submitted :
There have been 518 books added to the library the past year, 286 by purchase, 15 bound magazines and 217 received as gifts, making 27,485 accessioned volumes.
We have been particularly favored this year with gifts of books from different sources, 164 being given by Miss Judith M. Crawford. These were mostly for juvenile readers and were a valuable addition to our books for young people. Dr. Charles C. Farnham, Miss Mary E. Belcher and Miss Mary C. Sutton of this town also presented us with books and magazines. The local papers are kindly sent to us by the editors and Mr. Garrick has given us a duplicate file of the News for 1918. We also received many pamphlets from the Government, State, different societies and individuals.
Another gift was a Bulletin Board given us by Mrs. Ellen T. Proctor, which is in constant use and adds much to the efficiency of our work.
The library has been opened to the public 272 days, 32 days less than last year and 32,509 books have been borrowed.
50
TOWN OF RANDOLPH
September, 1917, we began to circulate some of our unbound magazines after they had been on the reading room table a month. This year we have loaned 405.
For seven weeks, beginning the week of January 21, the library was opened only three afternoons and even- ings a week on account of the shortage of coal. The books of fiction were allowed on one card during this time. In October we were closed for two weeks be- cause of the prevailing influenza.
Our reference work has fallen off some this year owing to these conditions and because the schools have also been affected by the shortage of coal and an un- usual amount of illness.
The reading room continues to be well patronized. Considering the number of days opened we have made a gain over last year. Twenty-one monthly magazines, six weeklies and two daily papers may be found on the table.
The libraries throughout the country have been active in war work this year and our library has en- deavored to do its share, displaying and recommend- ing books, magazines and pamphlets on food conserva- tion, war gardening, canning and preserving and post- ing interesting and instructive items on the bulletin board. For a few weeks Mrs. Ellen T. Proctor had chafge of a special bulletin board which she received from headquarters in Boston, devoted to food con- servation items and receipts.
In March the American War Library Association ap- pointed a Book Drive to collect books for the soldiers and sailors, to be held the week of March 18. With the generous and efficient help of the Soldiers' Welfare Committee, who canvased the town, 500 books were collected. These were prepared according to direc- tions by volunteer helpers and shipped to the Widener Library, Cambridge, Mass., to be sent overseas. Mr. Rountree also sent several hundred volumes which were credited to our library. Beside the books we sent a check for $81.00, the proceeds of a moving picture show held April 9 and some donations.
51
EIGHTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT
The Soldiers' Welfare Committee did most effectual work in making the picture show a success. Their in- terest throughout the drive; the help of the volunteer workers in preparing the books; the hearty response of our townspeople, were greatly appreciated by the librarian and made our part in the drive a gratifying success. The committee of the Red Cross, who had in charge the Christmas boxes to be sent to our boys over- seas, had their headquarters in the reference room of the library.
In May we had a Library Group meeting at the library, librarians being present from Canton, Nor- wood and Medfield. Library work and its problems were discussed and books reviewed. These meetings are held frequently at the different libraries and are most helpful.
The Massachusetts Library Art Club continues to send us exhibits of pictures. We have had some very interesting ones. of the war taken from the Illustrated London News.
The sum of $54.97 has been collected and paid over to the treasurer.
I wish to take this opportunity to express my thanks to the library staff for their loyal and cheerful service.
Respectfully submitted,
ALICE M. BELCHER,
Librarian.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
Water Commissioners
OF THE
Town of Randolph 1918
-
TOWN OF RANDOLPH
REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS
To the Citizens of Randolph :
The thirty-third annual report of the Water Commis- sioners is most respectfully submitted for the year end- ing December 31, 1918.
The past year has been an exceptionally expensive one for our department. We wish to draw your atten- tion to some of the causes thereof. The first and per- haps the greatest was the coal question.
During the summer months we were advised through the office of the State Fuel Commission that in order to insure a sufficient supply for our pumping station that we should order at once and for immediate delivery at least a year's supply (as this was practically an ultimatum because of the absolute control by the Commission on Coal Shipments), we at once complied with the advice of the Fuel Commission and placed our order.
We have now on hand enough coal to last until the late summer.
All coal bought during the past year cost us about 50 per cent. more than it would have at pre-war prices.
While the price advanced the quality decreased, as all orders had to go through the Commission we were obliged to accept that which could be most easily shipped us and be thankful that we got enough of any kind.
In addition to the above a spontaneous fire started in the coal in the shed; this has been another cause of ex- pense as much labor under trying conditions were needed as well as the use of large quantities of water to gain control of the fire. Again we were obliged by the advice of the Fuel Commission to purchase and in- stall a return feed trap and feed water heater and also a new patent flue cleaner.
59
EIGHTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT
A new grate had to be purchased and set under one of the boilers and extensive repairs made on boiler set- ting and side walls.
The excessive cold winter of 1917 and 1918 gave us much trouble and expense on account of the freezing of service pipes and mains.
Trench digging through five feet of frozen ground is as you know expensive work.
We used electricity from the Randolph & Holbrook Light & Power Co. on most of the service lines as this method (while costly) is so much more rapid than any other that we know of ; it enabled us to release several services in a day, wherein by any other method we would be fortunate to release one.
You will, therefore, see by the reading of the above few reasons, why our expense account of the joint work are so large.
You will notice all of the items of the extra expense are unusual and therefore we now can expect to get back to normal conditions.
Orders have been drawn on the Treasurer to the
amount of $10,314.09, as follows:
For joint maintenance account. . $ 6,376 80
