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, covering the calendar year 1931, and being the fifty-sixth an- nual report, is submitted, showing the condition of the trust consisting of the building, library, and funds, to- gether 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.
115
NINETY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT
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 a very con- siderable amount of work has been done upon the ex- terior and interior of the building. During the year the flashings of the roof were found to be in a badly de- teriorated condition in a good many places and repairs and renovations have been made to these flashings. The upper portions of the woodwork on the outside of the building have been painted and chimney repairs have been made. It was planned to carry out a renovation of the delivery room, reading room and reference room by cleaning, washing, tinting and painting the walls and ceilings and by refinishing the woodwork, along the lines of the renovation carried out in 1930 in the en- trance hall. During the summer, however, the Boiler Inspection Department of the Commonwealth, upon an inspection of the boiler, refused to permit its further use without extensive replacement of cracked sections and strongly advised the installation of a new boiler. Upon investigation, it was deemed advisable and bet- ter economy to replace the old boiler, which had been in use for twenty-two years, with a new one. The new boiler was installed and is giving good service. The expense involved in connection with the boiler was such as to require the postponement, until additional funds could be made available, of a part of the hoped for in- terior renovation. Therefore, this work was carried out in the delivery room and reading room only, and the renovation of the reference room has had to be postponed.
It is hoped that during 1932 the last mentioned room may be taken care of in a similar manner to the others and also that further work may be done upon
116
TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.
the exterior of the building, including the painting of the cornice at the top of the stone work.
The work done upon the exterior and interior of the building during 1931, including the purchase and installation of the new boiler, necessitated the expendi- ture of $392.01 in excess of the appropriation made by the Town, and an appropriation of $500.00 is requested for the current year to cover the cost of the work men- tioned in the last preceding paragraph and such other exterior and interior repairs as may from time to time be necessary.
The Librarian's report indicates satisfactory pro- gress in the use of the Library, particularly in view of the fact that the work of renovation required a sub- stantially longer summer closing than usual. During the year arrangements have been made with the Divi- sion of Public Libraries of the Department of Educa- tion of the Commonwealth for the loan to the library of groups of books, including books on child psy- chology.
The trustees again desire to express their appre- ciation of the excellent and painstaking services ren- dered by the Librarian, Miss Eunice L. Belcher, and by her assistants, Miss Ellen P. Henry and Mrs. Ellen C. Elden.
The report of the Librarian showing in detail the doings, management and results of the various depart- ments of the library, the report of the Treasurer show- ing the investment of the funds and the receipts and ex- penditures of the library, and the report of the Finance Committee are hereunto subjoined.
Respectfully submitted,
SETH T. CRAWFORD,
President, Board of Trustees.

NINETY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
Randolph, Mass., January 19, 1932.
To the Trustees of the Turner Free Library :
I have the honor to submit the annual report of the Librarian for the year ending December 31, 1931.
Due to the redecorating of the interior of the Li- brary, the Library was closed for five weeks, from Aug- ust 1 until September 8, but it is interesting to note that with the Library closed for this length of time, the circulation of books increased slightly over last year, 20,009 books having been loaned and 330 unbound magazines.
We have issued 321 borrower's cards, making a total of 2982 cards in use.
There have been 382 books added during the past year; 319 purchased, 32 gifts and 31 bound magazines. This makes a total of 32,353 accessioned volumes. A new magazine, "House and Garden" has been added to our list making a total of 36 magazines.
The reference room is used a great deal by the teachers and pupils of our schools and every possible assistance is given them by the librarian. We have also been glad to aid in the work of the leaders of the Child Psychology Classes.
I wish to express my appreciation of the increasing interest and cooperation of the trustees and the faith- ful services of my assistants, Miss Ellen P. Henry and Mrs. Ellen C. Elden.
Respectfully submitted,
EUNICE L. BELCHER,
Randolph, Mass., January 2, 1932. Librarian.

Report of the Board of Health
Randolph, Mass, January 18, 1932.
To the Citizens of the Town of Randolph :
The Randolph Board of Health respectfully sub- mits their report for the year ending December 31, 1931.
Previous to the year 1931 the duties of the Board of Health devolved upon the Selectmen of the Town. Due to the growth of the Town and the resultant in- crease in the work of the Selectmen, it was believed advantageous to organize a separate Board of Health. Accordingly, it was voted at the Annual Town Meeting in March 1931 to organize such a Board for the provi- sion of Chapter 41, Section 1, of the General Laws rel- ative to a Board of Health. The undersigned, members subsequently elected to the Board, believed it to be to the best interest of the Town to adopt the uniform regulations recommended by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in wide use in other towns in the Com- monwealth. These regulations designed to protect the health of the community and provide desirable stand- ards, have been reproduced below, in order that the voters may be familiar with the contents. The Board have inspected 35 provision stores, 2 factories, 2 gar- ages and have found them satisfactory in most cases. Where improvements have been required, they have been complied with.
Many complaints have been received by the Board citing conditions which were objectionable and not in accord with the standard set by the new regulation. These complaints have been promptly investigated and
123
NINETY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT
acted upon. The result has been an improvement in conditions directly effecting the health of the residents of the Town. We wish at this time to urge that the residents take advantage of the existance of the public dump in disposing of waste material. An adequate space has been provided at the rear of 78 Lafayette street for that purpose. It's use will remove the un- sightly and unsanitary conditions created by promiscu- ous dumping of such material by the roadsides. We would recommend the turning of Pine Tree brook at Liberty street, to enter the brook that drains into Broad Meadows. Thereby disposing of a large amount of pollution that eventually finds its way into our water supply at Great Pond. Drainage of low land is a prob- lem that must be taken care of in the near future. We have issued 3 undertakers, 1 slaughtering, 6 cesspool, 6 garbage, 6 piggeries, 12 alchol, and 6 hairdressing permits.
The following is a summary of contagious diseases reported to the Board of Health.

GENERAL HEALTH REGULATIONS OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH RANDOLPH, MASS.
CHAPTER I
Control of Communicable Disease Statutory Authority
General Laws, Chapter 111, Section 31, as amend- ed by Chapter 180 of the Acts of 1924, states :
"Boards of health may make reasonable health regulations. All regulations made by boards of health under this chapter shall be published once in a news- paper published in the town, and such publication shall be notice to all persons."
How to Draw Up Public Health Laws and Regulations
Delegated Authority
The legislature has delegated to the local boards of health of cities and towns the right to enact certain rules and regulations with certain penalties for violation thereof. (General Laws, Chapter 111, Section 122 and Section 127.) Such "rules and regulations" of local boards of health are, if properly enacted, penal laws, and complaints for violation there- of may be tried in the courts of the Commonwealth and convictions result as in the case of violation of any law.
1. Definitions
The following words as used in these regulations, unless a different meaning is required by the context, or is specifically prescribed, shall have the following meanings :
125
NINETY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT
"Board of Health" shall include the Board, De- partment, or officer having like powers and duties in cities or towns.
"Carrier"-A person who, without demonstrable symptoms of a communicable disease, harbors and dis- seminates the specific infectious agent.
"Contact"-Any person or animal known to have been sufficiently near to an infected person or animal to have been presumably exposed to infectious material directly, or by articles freshly soiled with such material.
"Isolation"-By "isolation" is meant the separat- ing of a person suffering from a communicable disease, or a carrier of the infecting organism, from other per- sons, in such places and under such conditions as will prevent the direct or indirect conveyance of the infecti- ous agent to susceptible persons.
" Quarantine" *- By "quarantine" is meant the limitation of freedom of movement of persons who have been exposed to communicable disease, for a pe- riod of time equal to the usual incubation period of the disease to which they have been exposed.
* In view of the various ambiguous and inaccurate uses to which the words isolation and quarantine are frequently put, it has seemed that to adopt arbitrarily the word isolation as describ- ing the limitation put upon the movements of the known sick or "carrier" individual (or animal), and the word quarantine as de- scribing the limitations put upon exposed or "contact" individuals.
"Incubation period"-By "incubation period" is meant the usual period of time which elapses between the exposure of a person to infection and the develop- ment of the symptoms of the disease to which he may have been exposed.
"Susceptibles or Non-Immunes"-A "susceptible" or "non-immune" person is one who is not known to have acquired immunity to the particular communic- able disease in question.
126
TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.
"Immunes"-An "immune" person is one who has had the disease or has been artifically immunized against it, and is, presumably, protected against an- other attack.
"Last Exposure"-By this is meant the date of the removal to a hospital, or the recovery or death of the patient, or the date on which the non-immune contact leaves and remains out of the house where the patient is.

3. Physicians to Give Notice
Section 111, Chapter 111, General Laws-"If a physician knows that a person whom he visits is in- fected with smallpox, diphtheria, scarlet fever or any other disease declared by the department dangerous to the public health, or if either eye of an infant whom or whose mother a physician, or a hospital medical of- ficer registered under section nine of chapter one hun- dred and twelve, visits becomes inflamed, swollen and red, or shows an unnatural discharge within two weeks after birth, he shall immediately give written notice thereof, over his own signature, to the Board of Health of the town; and if he refuses or neglects to give such notice he shall forfeit not less than fifty nor more than two hundred dollars."
128
TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.
4. Householders to Give Notice
When a householder knows that a person within his family or house is sick with a disease dangerous to the public health, he shall immediately give notice thereof to the Board of Health in the manner required by the statute (General Laws, Chapter 111, Section 109), provided, however, that in cases in which a physi- cian has been called in, his notification will be accepted in place of the householder.
