ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
TAX COLLECTOR 1919
TOWN OF RANDOLPH
REPORT OF TAX COLLECTOR
Randolph, Mass., February 18, 1920.
To the Citizens of the Town of Randolph, and to all others who may be interested:
No doubt but what you are all interested in town affairs and are eager to read the reports of your several officials ; what they have done during the year, and the manner in which they have attended to their duties. As Tax Collector I am happy to state, that I have worked early and late, and have been at my post of duty at all times, in order to give the town the best that was in me, as you will readily see, when you read my report of the wonderful work that I have accomplished, and that all records have been broken in so far as the amount of taxes collected and turned over to your treasurer are concerned. You all realize what I was up against when the 1918 levy was handed to me. It has been up-hill work from the start. This does not mean that all of the taxpayers were lax in the payment of their taxes. Should I say so, it would be a false statement. The fact is, so many facts I cannot state. I wish to thank each and every one who has helped me to accomplish the "seeming impossibility". It seemed as thouugh every one was trying hard to help me lift the burden. That was because the "lubricant" that I used on the "human machinery" was working exactly as I knew it would. It is a wonderful preparation. Shall use the same "lubricant" for the year 1920. In fact, I always have it with me. But not for sale. It has placed Randolph in class A.
No, we are not slipping back, we are forging ahead at a good speed (but we are not racing our engine) ; and can continue
41
EIGHTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
to keep on an even keel, providing, all officials do their full duty assigned to them. Now let us all be up and doing, work for the best interest for your town. We all own property in the town. Now it is our time to all pull together and make our property worth something to us. What we do want is, nice streets and side- walks and to keep them clean. We can have anything we want, and I know that the taxpayers are willing to do their full share, providing they get what they buy. Harmony has always existed at all times between all of the officials, so far as I know; since I had the pleasure of meeting with them, not once have I heard any discord. That means something. (A secret to you, I think they have been using my lubricant.) "In union there is strength." I wish to thank most heartily all of the officials for the manner in which they have always received me. I wish to thank especially Mr. James P. Duffy, who has at all times worked early and late with me in order to get at facts which I needed in my business as collector of taxes. As a rule, you find him at his post when duty calls. He has made a good man for your town. Last, but not least by any means, our worthy treasurer, Mr. John B. McNeill. We must speak a good word for him. He has filled the position admirably and he was a good find. He has been a good and faithful servant.
Let us watch our step carefully, go slow (not so slow as to stall), and we are bound to have a banner town. Below you will find a true and exact copy of report of your efficient Auditor. The abatement column is against my wishes, but it cannot be helped. You know what was handed to me in the 1918 levy, and about the same in 1919. But the 1920 levy can and will be redeemed to a minimum. Abatements are given for several reasons, viz .:
Over - taxation, double assessed, poverty, cannot locate property, depreciation in value, claims 9, house burned, etc., polls, some on books for years and never taken off.
42
TOWN OF RANDOLPH
The remaining uncollected taxes for 1918 will be collected in a very short time. A few tax sales will probably have to be made. This I do not wish to do. I am trying hard to avoid it, but the town and State say, collect at once, or advertise the property for sale for the taxes. Let us hope that the delinquents come forward at once and pay the 1918 tax due the town. The easiest way is always the best.
I take great pleasure in presenting to you the report of 1918 and also the report of 1919 up to the present time as audited by your auditors and signed by them.
Sincerely yours,
WALTER H. LYONS,
Tax Collector.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
Water Commissioners
OF THE
Town of Randolph
TOWN OF RANDOLPH
REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS
To the Citizens of Randolph:
The thirty-fourth annual report of the Water Commissioners is herewith submitted for the year ending December 31, 1919.
The year 1919 has been as expensive as was the year of 1918.
Prices on almost all necessary supplies required for carrying on the works are as high as they were in 1918 and in some cases higher.
Our auxiliary pump which is the old Blake, and was the first pump installed in our plant as also the one that has done the most of the work since our water system was established, is badly in need of repairs or replacement, if the works are to be economically operated. Therefore your Commissioners would have you bear in mind that this expense must be met in the near future.
Your Commissioners would most respectfully advise that you consider very carefully any and all questions that may come before you that will or may cut down our water receipts or increase the outlay of our income unless said outlay is an absolute necessity. Your Commissioners after careful study have come to the conclusion that they can now get along without asking for any appropriation for our Sinking Fund from now on, and that unless some unexpected catastrophe occurs that they will also be able to provide for the expense of repairs on our Blake pump, or the purchase of a new pump to replace the Blake, with- out calling on you for an appropriation, thereby helping to
49
EIGHTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
reduce the amount of money to be raised by taxation, provided that our receipts are not interfered with.
We feel that we are justified in taking a pardonable pride in being able to make the above statement and of congratulating you on what we firmly believe to be the fact that from now on your Water Department will be self-supporting.
Orders have been drawn on the Treasurer to the amount of $10,611.4I
Divided as follows :
For joint account $5,758.02

RULES AND REGULATIONS
The following regulations, until further notice, shall be considered a part of the contract with every person who uses water :
I. All applications for use of water must be made at the office of the Water Commissioners, and state fully the purposes for which it is intended to be used. Water will not be introduced into any building or premises except on the written application of the owner thereof, or by a duly authorized agent. The prop- erty will in all cases be held responsible for the water rates.
2. All persons taking water must keep their water pipes and fixtures in good repair and protected from the frost at their own expense. They will be held liable for all damages resulting from their failure to do so. They shall prevent all unnecessary waste, and water shall not be left running to prevent freezing. The Water Commissioners or their agent may, from time to time, ascertain the quantity of water used, the manner of its use, and whether there is any unnecessary waste. They and their agents shall have free access to the premises supplied, to examine the apparatus, and if any fixtures are found not to be in good order, they shall direct them repaired, and if not repaired within two days the water shall be shut off and not let on again until such repairs are made, and the sum of two dollars paid for shutting off and turning on the water.
3. The occupant of any premises, when unnecessary waste of water occurs, shall be liable to a fine of two dollars for the first offence, and four dollars for the second offence during the same year, and shall be notified thereof in writing ; and if such waste is not prevented and the fine aforesaid
63
EIGHTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
paid within two days from the time when the said notice is given, the water shall be shut off the premises, and shall not be' again let on for the same occupant until the waste be stoppel and the fine paid, together with an additional sum of two dollars for shutting off and letting on the water, and in case of a third or subsequent offence the water shall be shut off, and shall not again be let on except by a vote of the Water Commissioners and the payment of such fine, not exceeding ten dollars, as the Water Commissioners may impose.
4. Any person supplied with water shall not allow another to take water from their fixtures without the written permission of the Water Commissioners. If any tenant, having no fixtures, has any use of such fixtures, full rates will be charged for such use by each tenant.
5. All persons using water for building purposes are re- quired to obtain a permit from the Water Commissioners before taking water from any faucet or fixture connected with the water works, and all water takers are warned not to let any party take water from their premises until they show a permit from the Water Commissioners. Any person furnishing water in violation of this section will be subject to a fine of not less than five or more than twenty dollars, and if the same when levied is not paid within three days from the time when the notice thereof is given, the water will be shut off from the premises and will not be let on again until such fine is paid.
