TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.


Report of the Selectmen and Overseers of Public Welfare


In making its report for the past year the Board of Selectmen feel that except for W. P. A. and welfare acti- vities this has been a normal year.


We have been confronted with increasing difficulties under the W. P. A. program, due mostly to the action taken by Congress, making it mandatory for every man who had worked continuously for eighteen months to be laid off for thirty days. Many men have had ten to fifteen weeks of unemployment because of this law, and the payroll for the year 1939 has amounted to $168,938.00 compared with $193,239.00 in 1938. Because of a reduc- tion the past year of over $25,000.00 in wages to W. P. A. workers in the town we have had to provide other means of assistance in necessitous cases. The number of Ran- dolph people employed on W. P. A. during the year went from a high in January of 325 to a low in August of 168.


Every effort has been expended to secure from the Surplus Commodity Division allotments of food and cloth- ing to the extent that value of food distributed in the town was $16,201.65, and in addition clothing at a value of $8,352.65. Through the cooperation of Captain Rooney over 100 cords of wood have been secured from the Blue Hills Reservation.


Complying with the vote of the citizens at the 1939 Annual Town Meeting, this Board sold the West Corners School building and land on June 3rd, for the bid amount of $501.00.


97


ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT


During the year at the request of civic organiza- tions within the town, parallel parking instead of angle parking was established on the easterly side of North Main Street, from Crawford Square to Short Street, and two hour parking on both sides of North Main Street, from Crawford Square to Warren Street. This change has caused much favorable comment.


In order to preserve to Randolph citizens what limited service is now being obtained from the New Haven rail- road, and to secure any possible better and further service including the re-establishment of the Randolph station, this Board appointed a Railroad Service Committee on November 6th comprising Timothy Lyons Jr., Francis Curran, Lawson Wright, John J. Rose, George N. Welch, and Edgar B. Cole, to work with a similar committee ap- pointed by the Governor and the Attorney General.


After considerable effort and favorable sentiment during the past few years, Zoning By-Laws were adopted by the Town at its Annual Town Meeting on March 20, 1939, and became effective on July 28, 1939. In com- pliance with the Zoning Laws the Board appointed a Board of Appeals comprising George N. Welch, G. Henry Tangen, Dennis Murphy, George Taylor, and John E. Kelley, and appointed Harold L. Bailey, Inspector of Buildings. 1


During the year, several easements were secured to provide proper drainage of Town streets and to prevent their flooding and erosion, among which were an ease- ment taken in the vicinity of the old Tower Hill School on Lafayette Street, and through properties opposite Saint Bernardette's Church.


On the recommendations of the Insurance Committee, a review of the fire protection facilities in Randolph, as they apply to Town owned and insured property, was


98


-


TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.


obtained by the Board of Selectmen from the New Eng- land Fire Insurance Rating Association, without expense to the Town. On November 21st we received the result of the survey and because of the enormous cost of com- plying with recommendations of the Association which were disproportionate to the benefits which would be received by the Town by way of reduced fire rate pre- miums, no action was taken.


To Senators David I. Walsh and Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., Congressman Richard B. Wigglesworth,. Captain Rooney of the Blue Hills Reservation and to all Town officials who have given their cooperation, we extend our appreciation.


THEODORE S. LUDDINGTON, CHARLES H. MCGRATH, CHARLES F. BLAKELY, Selectmen of Randolph.

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 1939 and being the sixty-fourth annual report, is submitted, 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 a considerable amount of repair work done. As in the case of all build- ings it must be expected that repairs will be necessary during each year and in the light of past experience the trustees ask for the current year an appropriation of $500.00 to cover the cost of such repairs to the exterior and interior of the building and to the furnishings and fixtures as may from time to time be necessary.


The Librarian's report sets forth in some detail the continuance and extent of the library's service to the com- munity. The trustees again record their sincere appre- ciation of the value and helpfulness of the magazines pur- chased out of the income of the fund given by Mr. Erskine H. Cox in memory of Mrs. Ethelyn M. C. Cox.


There have been a number of changes in personnel during the year. From time to time the trustees were forced to accept the resignations of Miss Barbara Hill,


107


ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT


Mrs. Mollie F. Howard and Miss Lilli Fischer as assistants. In each instance the resignation was accepted with regret and a deep sense of faithful and efficient service.


The trustees express their thanks for the loyalty and efficiency of the Librarian, Mrs. Eunice B. Martin and of her present 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: the report of the Librarian; the report of the Treasurer showing the investment of the funds and the receipts and expenditures of the library ; and the report of the Finance Committee.


Respectfully submitted,


SETH T. CRAWFORD, President, Board of Trustees.

REPORT OF LIBRARIAN of TURNER FREE LIBRARY


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, 1939.


The Library has been open to the public: Monday, Wednesday and Saturday afternoons, from 2.00 - 4.30, and every evening from 7.00 until 9.00, with the excep- tion of Sundays and holidays.


During July and August we were open evenings only from 7.00 - 9.00. 322 books have been added, making the accession number 35,038. 239 books were purchased and 73 were gifts.


Circulation for the year, 24,024.


The largest circulation for one month was in Novem- ber when 2,341 books were given out. Number of mag- azines loaned, 1,256.


Owing to so many unused borrowers' cards in our file, the Trustees voted to have a new registration. From August 14th, 1939 until January 1, 1940, 1,181 cards have been issued.


Miss Hill resigned in June to take a position with a local bank.


Mrs. Howard resigned in August.


Miss Fischer resigned in October to take a position in a local school.


We are fortunate to have secured Miss Massie and Miss Baker who are proving very efficient.


The Librarian wishes to thank them all for their help and loyalty ; also the Trustees for their cooperation.


Respectfully submitted,


EUNICE B. MARTIN, Librarian.

ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT


Report of the Board of Health


Randolph, Mass., Jan. 20, 1940.


Board of Selectmen, Randolph, Mass. Gentlemen :


The Board of Health respectfully submits its report, and the report of its respective agents for the year ending December 31, 1939.


The Board of Health has inspected all stores and places where food and other goods were distributed, and found them clean and safe for the sale of goods. Sanitary conditions were up to the regulations of the Board.


The Dental Clinic was very ably conducted through the efforts of Dr. Maguire and Dr. Smith. Examinations were made yearly in the various schools, and a report sent to the parents of children needing attention. We wish to recommend the continuance of this Clinic as it is one of the most deserving expenditures in the Town budget.


In regard to the health conditions of the Town, there were not as many contagious cases as in the year previous. Apparently this is due in some respect to the diphtheria clinic held each year.


The Work of the Chadwick Clinic recently taken over by the Norfolk County Hospital must again be acknowl- edged, and its importance recognized. Due to the efforts of our visiting nurse, and school nurse, the children are receiving tests and attention that usually arrests tuber- culosis at the onset.

TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.


With the cooperation of the Selectmen we were able to conduct and supervise clean up days this year. At this time we wish to stress the importance of our clean up days. If the people would take advantage of the oppr- tunity this affords them, we would have less so-called private dumps in the Town. During the past year we have had many complaints regarding the dumping of rubbish, etc., on private property. After careful investi- gation we find only one solution. According to our rules and regulations this can be termed a nuisance, or a menace to public health, and action may have to be taken. We hope that with the cooperation of the citizens of the town during the coming year, this can be avoided.


The new combination Inhalator and Resuscitator which the Town voted to purchase has been received and is now located at the Central Fire Station. The Board has every reason to feel that this particular piece of equipment will prove of inestimable value to the medical profession of the town. We wish to express our gratitude to our Health nurse, Miss Beatrice Scannell, also our School Nurse, Miss Helen Conlon, for their fine coopera- tion with this Board during the past year.


In closing we wish to express our thanks to the Selectmen and other Town officials for the courtesy and assistance given us during the past year.
