ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT


Report of the Trustees of Turner Free Library


January 15, 1942.


Board of Selectmen Stetson Hall Randolph, Massachusetts


Dear Sirs:


I enclose herewith the annual report of the Trustees of the Turner Free Library to the citizens of the Town of Randolph for the calendar year 1941.


Yours very truly,

PUBLIC LIBRARY


To the Citizens of Randolph:


Pursuant to the provisions of Article 3 of the By-Laws of the Turner Free Library, this report, for the calendar year 1941 and being the sixty-sixth annual report, is sub- mitted, showing the condition of the trust consisting of the building, library, and funds, together with the reports of the Librarian and Treasurer and so much of the reports submitted to the Trustees by the various committees as seems of general interest.


The Library Committee reports that the books, charts and furnishings are in good condition and that all books belonging to the library are accounted for by the Librarian.


The Building Committee reports that it was possible during 1941 to hold the repair bills down to the unusually small total of $86.55, leaving an unexpended balance of $413.45 of the Town's appropriation of $500.00. It is very gratifying to have been able to save this sum of money for the Town. Nevertheless every building must be expected to require repairs every year, though the amounts may vary from year to year, and it would be over confidence to count in advance, for 1942 or for any future year upon as favorable a result as was achieved in 1941. In fact, the need of certain unexpected repairs has already come to light during the present month.


As a result of the universal shinkage in the income from investments the Library finds itself severly handi- capped in its general activities and restricted in its pur- chase of new books by a shortage of funds.


In the light of the foregoing the Trustees ask for the current year an appropriation of One Thousand ($1000.00) Dollars to cover the cost of such repairs to the exterior and


87


ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT


interior of the building and to the furnishings and fixtures as may from time to time be necessary and for the general purposes of the Library.


As will be seen from the Librarian's report a new de- partment, known as the Children's Corner, for the benefit of the younger readers has been installed during the year in charge of Miss Baker and has been proving a success.


The Trustees desire to add their thanks to those of the Librarian to the donors of books given to the Library dur- ing the year. They record with deep sorrow the death dur- ing the year of Mr. Erskine H. Cox whose gift of magazines purchased with the income of the fund which he established in memory of Mrs. Ethelwyn M. C. Cox has proved and will continue to prove a very valuable benefaction.



The Trustees express their thanks for the loyal and efficient services of the Librarian, Mrs. Eunice B. Martin, and of her assistants Miss Pearl Massie and Miss Virginia Baker, and of the janitor, Mr. John T. Moore.


A copy of each of the following reports is hereunto subjoined :


Report of the Librarian.


Report of the Treasurer showing the invest- ment of the funds and the receipts and ex- penditures of the Library.

Report of the Board of Health


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:


The Board of Health respectfully submits its report and the report of its respective agents for the year ending December 31, 1941.


During the year the Board of Health has inspected all places where food and other goods were distributed and found them clean and safe for the sale of such goods.


We would like to thank our School Physician, Dr. Hig- gins, also Miss Conlon our School Nurse, and Miss Scannell and Mrs. Anna Fay our District Nurses for the way our Diphtheria Clinic was conducted. It was as usual a great success. For the last four years we have not had a single case of this disease which proves the worth of this clinic.


The Chadwick Clinic work at the Norfolk County Hos- pital must again be acknowledged and its importance rec- ognized. Due to the efforts of District Nurses and School Nurse the children are receiving tests and attention that usually arrests tuberculosis at the onset.


The Dental Clinic was very ably conducted again this year through the efforts of Dr. Maguire and Dr. Smith. Ex- aminations were made in the various schools, and a report sent to the parents of children needing attention.


During the year we have had many complaints regard- ing the dumping of rubbish, etc. on private property. You are paying for a town dump which we hope the people of the town will use. This will be greatly appreciated by your Board of Health.


93

Report of Water Commissioners


To the Citizens of the Town of Randolph :


The fifty-sixth annual report of the Water Commis- sioners, covering the calendar year 1941, is herein submitted.


Organization of the Board was as follows:


Frederick D. Driscoll Chairman


Dr. Wm. F. Maguire Clerk


William J. Almond Associate


Appointments by Board


Marion L. Bailey Collector


Frederick D. Driscoll


Meter Reader


William J. Almond Superintendent


DEPARTMENT MAINTENANCE


During the year the department installed, upon appli- cation, 30 new services; 21 services were pumped out and cleaned; 19 services were renewed from main to line with 344 type K copper tubing; 49 service leaks were repaired; 2 hydrants were found leaking and new bases were put in; 5 hydrants broken by automobiles were repaired ; 3 hydrants were raised to grade and 2 hydrants relocated; 2 broken mains, 1 12-in. on South Main Street and 1 8-in. on North Street were also repaired; 5 new curb cocks were installed on old services; 12 road boxes were raised to grade. The Department installed 52 new meters on services and removed 74 meters for repairs at the factory and these have all been reset.


W. P. A.


In the past year, due to W. P. A. project curtailment, this department installed but one new main. This was on Amelian Road.


99


ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT


1000 ft. of 6-in., class No. 150 Century (cement and asbestos) pipe was laid; 2 Chapman Hydrants ; 5 6-in. gates, 4 6-in. tees and 2 6-in. plugs were installed.


In conjunction with this project, 11 services were re- newed with 344 type K cooper tubing and connected to new main.


PUMPING STATION AND EQUIPMENT


At the Pumping Station many repairs and alterations were made during the year.


At a joint meeting of the Board of Randolph and Hol- brook Water Commissioners, attention was called to the very poor conditions of the existing retaining wall along the front of the Pumping Station. Through action of ice and water during the winter months, the wall was found to be completely undermined and distorted. The Board felt that prompt action in attending to this condition would save larger expenditures if put off until a later time.


Consequently plans were drawn up and bids were ac- cepted. The contract was awarded a Randolph contractor on low bid.


Four hundred feet of Retaining Wall was built under the following specifications: A 20-in. footing, 18-in. depth ; the wall approximating 4 ft. in height and 400 ft. in length ; the wall to taper from 20-in. base to 10-in. top. At the same time a contract was given for a Wash Water Drain on the opposite side of Pond Street. 275 ft. of dry wall open drain, 8 ft. wide at the bottom; the wall 4 ft. high with an 18-in. slope.


This drain now eliminates the difficulty of disposing of wash water which the Engineer had because of silt and growing vegetation.

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT


RULES AND REGULATIONS


The following regulations, until further notice, shall be considered a part of the contract with every person who uses water :


1. 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 to premises except on the written appli- cation of the owner thereof, or by a duly authorized agent. The property 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 Commis- sioners or their agents may, from time to time, ascertain the quantity of water used, the manner of its use, and whether there is 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.
