Property owners on Mill Street have appeared before the Board of Health on a number of occasions relative to the condition of the dump on that street
Upon investigation this Board have found conditions that are a menace to the health of the community. While this department has tried to remedy the situation by burning what could be disposed of in that way, there is still much objectionable matter being dumped there.
The Board of Health recommend that a committee be

REPORT OF THE Inspector of Milk
To the Board of Health,
Gentlemen:
I am giving you below my report for the year ending December 31, 1927.
Number of Milk licences issued 62
Number of Oleomargarin licenses issued 7
A total of $34.50 was received from license fees, divided as follows:
Milk licenses $31.00
Oleomargarin licenses 3.50
The premises of all producers and dealers were in- spected before the issuance of licenses, and with few exceptions were found to conform to the laws governing the production of milk. In several cases licenses were withheld until conditions were made satisfactory.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM MAHADY, Inspector of Milk

NINETY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT
Report of the Tree Warden
To the Citizens of the Town of Randolph,
Greetings:
During the past year I have planted fifteen new shade trees and removed three.
Trimming was done on many of the outlying streets, but much more ought to be done. The amount of money raised for this work is not sufficient to take care of the trees as they should be. The amount raised for the Tree Warden will not take care of your Main Street alone.
A number of trees will have to be removed this year, also a lot of trimming on some of the larger trees.
I trust the Town will raise more money for this work the coming year.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN T. MOORE, Tree Warden

TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.
REPORT OF THE Local Moth Superintendent
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Gentlemen:
The Gypsy Moth condition in the town shows a slight gain over last year. The work of creosoting had to be done out of the 1928 appropriation, as the amount raised last year was not enough to cover this work, as has been done in former years. I would suggest that the sum raised for private work be added to the appropriation, so that the work can be cleaned up each year.
The section extending from High Street (from the Quincy line), to the Canton line, is badly infested, and if not watched closely this year, will extend to other parts.
The engine and pump of the machine will need over- hauling this spring.
I would recommend that the town raise the whole as- sessment, as asked for by the State Forester.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN T. MOORE, Moth Superintendent
