Report of the Water Commissioners
To the citizens of the Town of Randolph:
The forty-fourth annual report of the Water Com- missioners is herewith submitted for the year ending December 31, 1929.
Organziation of the Board of Water Commissioners for the year 1929 was effected as follows:
John B. McNeill Chairman
Frederick D. Driscoll Clerk Richard F. Forrest Superintendent
During the past year, 56 new services were connected and 107 new meters were installed; 60 old meters were removed, cleaned and repaired; 22 frozen meters re- moved and repaired. There were 9 leaks in the larger mains supplying the standpipes of Randolph and Hol- brook, these being cared for under the Joint Mainten- ance Account; in the smaller mains there were 3 leaks and 37 leaks in the service connections which were cared for under the Randolph Maintenance Account; 42 services were pumped out and cleaned; 4 hydrants were broken by motor cars and were removed and repaired.
NEW EXTENSIONS
During the year, as per instructions from the Town, new extensions were made on the following streets:
North Main Street 8 in. pipe 600 feet
Vesey Road
6 in. pipe 300 feet
Oak Street
6 in. pipe 550 feet
Stacey Street
6 in. pipe 1720 feet
Two new hydrants were installed on the North Main Street extension; three on Stacey Street; one new hy-
73
NINETY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
drant was installed on Old Street as per vote of the Town.
In installing these extensions we have followed our custom of the last four years by having the work all done under our own Superintendent and by the laborers of the town.
PUMPING STATION
Conditions at the Pumping Station remain the same as last year. In our Annual Report of 1928, page 112, we thoroughly described the conditions at the Pumping Station and asked the town for an appropriation to in- stall a new boiler. The Finance Committee recommend- ed an appropriation of $1,500 to install a gasolene en- gine as a standby-unit, which appropriation was made by the town. The commissioners of Holbrook, however, would not consent to the installation of a gasolene en- gine, therefore, conditions are no better than one year ago.
CONDITION OF THE WATER
The condition of the water at the Great Pond re- mains much the same according to reports received from the State Dept. of Public Health. Your Water Commis- sioners have given considerable time to the inspection of the watersheds of Great Pond and together with the Water Commissioners of Braintree and Holbrook voted to hire a man to patrol the pond and its tributaries dur- ing June, July, August and September of 1929 for a sal- ary to be paid equally by the three towns. Mr. Daniel P. Lyons, Cross St., Randolph, was engaged to do the work.
Many places that seemed to be a possible cause of pollution of the water were visited and in all cases such causes were removed by the owners of the property. There has been much more accomplished by a man being on the job at all times when he can get at the cause of pollution at the very start and this is the only way that
74
TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.
the watershed of the pond can be properly taken care of, and in the opinion of a great many, a man should be on this job continually the year around.
We have installed at the pumping station a machine to test the water in order to determine the exact amount of chlorine which is needed to kill any bacteria there may be. As the amount of chlorine needed in the water varies, from time to time, we found that by putting a stated amount in every day, that sometimes it would not be enough and at other times it would be too much, making the taste of the water obnoxious to some people. With the new machine, our engineer tests the water twice a day, and now we can say that the water is being treated in a scientific manner.
The expenditures of the Water Department will be found in the Town Accountant's Report.
Outstanding water rates will be found in the report of the Water Collector.
Respectfully submitted,
RICHARD F. FORREST.

Assessors' Report --- 1929
BOARD OF ASSESSORS Chairman, Waldo E. Mann Associate members, Frank F. Teed, James P. Duffy
The Board of Assessors for the year 1929 submit the following report for the consideration of the Tax- payers of the Town of Randolph.
Tax Rate $31.40
Our tax rate of $31.40 per thousand, the lowest rate since 1925, shows a decrease of eighty cents per thousand from the tax rate of the previous year. The total ap- propriations voted to be raised through the tax levy of 1929 were $246,585.55-See Town Accountant's Report.
Increase in Valuation $181,600.00
By reference to the table of assessed valuation ap- pended hereto it will be noticed that the total assessed valuation of taxable real estate indicates an increase of $181,600.00 and a decrease in valuation of personal prop- erty owing to the new law taxing automobiles and trucks under an excise tax of $215,550.00, making a net loss in valuation on Personal and Real Estate of $33,950.00, adding the Excise valuation makes a net gain in valua- tion of $469,905.00.
Poll List
We made a separate Poll List which was committed early in the year so the Collector would have a better chance of collecting from those who leave the town and State.
88
TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.
We combined the Resident and non-resident books all in one book to eliminate duplications and for a more ef- ficient card system.
A book of persons listed by the Assessors was com- piled in conformity with the provisions of Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7 of Chapter 51 of the General Laws.
Excise Tax
It is very important that in case of sale, exchange or purchase of a car, the Assessors should be notified in writing within 60 days from the date of Excise Tax Bill or 60 days from the date of registration, if any adjust- ment of the tax is to be made.
Town Maps and Plans
The work on the plans should be completed, and to that end, we recommend that the sum of $1000 be ap- propriated at the Annual Town Meeting of 1930.
We have received the hearty co-operation of the Town Officials and the Citizens of the Town for which we are grateful.
Attention of Citizens
In 1930 the Assessors will not find as much new valuation as in the past few years, therefore we hope at the Annual Town Meeting the total appropriations will not exceed those of 1929.
Respectfully submitted,
WALDO E. MANN, Chairman. FRANK F. TEED, JAMES P. DUFFY, Clerk.
