The Board of Health respectfully submits its Annual Report for the year ending December 31, 1951.
Due to increased amount of new home building in this Town during 1951, the Board has been called upon to make many inspections of cesspools, etc. and many more permits have been issued. Beginning August 1, 1951, the cost of these permits is $1.00 each.

There has been a large amount of fees collected by our Plumbing Inspector, Mr. Thomas O'Riley, according to his report, and this is due to increased number of homes being erected in this Town.

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT
Several new fire alarm boxes have been added to the alarm system during the past two years, but we feel that the system is at pesent loaded very near to capacity.
The Seagrave ladder truck is in poor condition, and the logical replacement would be a Junior Aerial ladder truck, which could be needed at most any time.
I offer these facts for your consideration.
Respectively submitted, Chief Harold L. Bailey

Report of The Highway Surveyor
To the Citizens of the Town of Randolph :

The following list of streets re- ceived surface treatment: Hills, Woodland Parkway, Fitch Terrace, Highland Avenue, Martin Terrace, Stevens Terrace, Maitland Avenue, Druid Hill Avenue, Belcher Street, Linden Road, Thomas Street, Forest Street, Gordon Street, Intervale Terrace, High Street, Overlook Road, Short Street, School Street, Ward Street, Moulton Street, Adams Street, Center Street, Mill Street, Oak Street, Nor- roway Avenue, Depot Street, Norfolk Road, Fairview Ave .. nue, Fairmount Street, Maple Street, Cole Terrace, Vine Street, Woodlawn Street, Cottage Street, Roel Street, Park and Abbey Streets.

Canton Street was treated with T 5 and sand cover honed for a distance of 5200 feet, also other ordinary maintenance work. All work under Chapter 90 was approved by the State Department of Public Works.

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT
SNOW REMOVAL
Ice and snow work was about normal during the win- ter months of 1951. There was a considerable amount of freezing rain and sleet that required sanding. Many times the weather was so cold that the abrasives did not anchor to the ice thereby requiring many sand applications. Also due to the added number of streets, much more snow work is being done.
In fairness to our men that work plowing snow, I wish to request the owners of cars to keep them off the streets during snow storms. It will be of great help to keep our streets open.

Warren Street will be advertised for bids by the State Department of Public Works some time in February. Liberty Street is under construction at the present time . and is supervised by State Engineers.
PLANNING FUTURE PROJECTS
With the cooperation of the Board of Selectmen, the following is being done. The County Engineers are lay- ing out South and Center Streets. Also a petition will be acted on in regard to Warren Street to be relocated at it's intersections with Highland Avenue, Depot Street, Sil- ver Street, Warren Avenue and Fowler Street.
The State Department of Public Works have agreed to build a sidewalk with curbing from Old Street to Mit- chell Street on the west side of North Main Street, pro- viding we finish the sidewalk with bituminous concrete.
I wish to thank the Town Officials and Citizens for their fine cooperation in the past year.
