Much work has been done on the fire alarm system and yet there is some more to be done in order that the system might be in good condition. A complete line was installed from the junction of Main and West Streets to West Corners, a new line from West and Main Streets to Cross Street, and a new line on Maple Street; making a total of about three miles of new wire used on this work. The whole system was gone over and cleared of tree grounds, so with a small approria- tion the Board of Engineers can put the fire alarm system in shape.
Repairs were made on Engine House No. 2, and it was given two coats of paint, so it is now in good con- dition.
The interior of House No. 1 is much in need of paint. It is the desire of the Engineers to have it painted on the interior and another room partitioned off in order that we may have a room for a spare driver. The driver at the present time is required to work twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week. To our minds this is not fair to him, therefore, the En- gineers are asking in their recommendations that the Town appropriate money to paint the interior, make a room, and make provisions for paying a spare driver in order that the regular driver may have one day off in seven, with his two week's vacation.

TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.
The number of fires here, as elsewhere, seem to be increasing, and, of course, this adds extra expense to the Town. It is only fair that in our recommendations we should provide for the next Board of Engineers inso- far as hour service and general expenses are concerned. We have no control over the number of fires, and there- fore, cannot estimate the exact amount needed for hour service. The same holds true in general expenses. Therefore, we would recommend that the Town in- crease the appropriation on hour service to $700.00, and general expenses to $800.00. We feel it would be better for all concerned to have an unexpended balance rather than an overdraft.
The Board of Engineers recommend the following amounts for the ensuing year.
General Expenses
$800.00
Salaries of Men
450.00
Hour Service 700.00
Driver of Truck
1,800.00
Spare Driver
260.00
Engineers' Salaries
150.00
Unpaid Bills-1925-26
215.00
Painting and Repairing Interior of House No. 1
200.00
Rebuilding new and care of Fire Alarm Sys- tem 450,00
500 feet of Hose 525.00
