TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.
Report of the Selectmen and Overseers of Public Welfare
During the past year all hearings required by law were held and every citizen has been allowed to be heard.
This year your Town Government has functioned ef. ficiently with the complete co-operation of every depart- ment head and employee.
It was with reluctance and regret that the Board was called upon to accept the resignation of Town Counsel Walter F. Stephens, who served this community for many years with honor and distinction.
Attorney George N. Welch, who was appointed to fill this position, has given invaluable service and has been present at every session of the Board.
Your Board has endeavored to conduct the affairs of the Town which are under their jurisdiction in an econom- ical and just manner.
We take this opportunity to express our appreciation to all Officials and Committees who have given their every co-operation.

ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT
Report of Board of Health
The Board of Health respectfully submtis its annual report for the year ending December 31, 1953.
The majority of the nuisance complaints investigated by the Board during the past year have been related to overflowing cesspools or improperly functioning local sew- age disposal units located on private property, or have been related to the very inadequate surface water drain- age in this community. It is a fact that the catchment area for the water supply of the Town is located in a densely settled portion of the Town. Many inadequate local sewage disposal units are overflowing into this catch- ment area. Each new housing development within this area results in increasing numbers of sewage disposal units, which, if they function inadequately, become po- tential contaminents of our water supply. Your Board of Health has become aware of this problem and intends to submit a request for funds for the salary of a part time professional sanitarian to accomplish, as soon as possible, a sanitary survey of the Town, which will include con- sideration of this and other related problems.
It is obvious to the members of the Board that surface and ground water drainage constitutes a problem in this community which is of public health interest. Innumer- able cellars in this town are flooded during several months of the year. In our inspections we have observed that there are hundreds of townspeople who would be bene- fited by a well conceived and properly engineered drain- age project. Since drainage and sewage are related prob- lems, is the opinion of this Board that the services of a well qualified sanitary engineer should be procured to submit plans for adequate sewage and drainage systems through-
80
TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.
out the town. Your Board of Health would favor the procurement of a Town Engineer, provided that the per- son appointed shall be a qualified Sanitary Engineer ap- proved by the Division of Sanitary Engineering of the Mass. Department of Public Health, and provided that 50% more of his time is devoted to drainage and sewage problems.
One of our health nurses, Mrs. Signe Heath resigned her position and is now a school nurse. Mrs. Janet Dim- mick was appointed to fill the vacancy, she and Miss Beatrice Scannell have answered many calls and are per- forming an increasing amount of Public Health nursing duties.
A swab test of utensils at eating and drinking estab- lishments was made and an analysis of all milk sold in the town was made. The majority of the food handling establishments were found to be in good condition. Spe- cific recommendations for improvement were made to several.
The dental clinic was conducted by Dr. William F. Maguire, assisted by the school nurses.
The diptheria clinic was conducted by the school physicians, Dr. William Sloane and Dr. Justin V. McGuirk.
Permits for 175 cesspools have been issued; and 24 permits for septic tanks have also been issued.
Communicable diseases for the year 1953 were as follows; Poliomyelitis 2; Chicken Pox 8; Dog-bite 58; German measles 6; Mumps 3; Scarlet fever 3; Whooping cough 2; and cat bite 1.
Many hours have ben spent with the committee on re-writing the new Rules and Regulations. Several new policies have ben adopted.
81
ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT
The sum of $2520.67 was taken in including $2248.67 for Hospitalization; Regular licenses $69.00 and permits for septic tanks and cesspools $203.00 Subsidy for the year 1953 has been billed for $301.42.
The Board is very fortunate to have acquired the services of Dr. F. Randolf Philbrook to fill the unex- pired term of the late Frederick Diauto. Dr. Philbrook is a retired medical captain of the U.S.N., who has a post graduate medical degree in Public Health and is a Re- search Associate on the teaching staff of the Harvard School of Public Health.

TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.
Report of Dental Clinic
The Dental Clinic was conducted this year with special emphasis being stressed upon the preservation of the six year molar. This is most important to a child be- cause around this tooth evolves the alignment of the dental arch and helps to prevent faulty occlusion.
While the appropriation to carry out this work was meager, it did allow treatment to be carried out on those selected by the School Nurses as being in need of dental rehabilitation.
The school dentist should be considered just as much a part of the over all health team as the school phy- sician, for dentistry cannot be divorced from medicine. It is as much a specialty of medicine as the eye, ear, nose and throat. The relationship between the oral cavity and the body in general, is just as intimate as that existing between the body and any specialized tissue or tissues.
The ideal role of the school dentist in our fast grow- ing community, would be to conduct a dental examina- tion on every child through the fourth grade. This ex- amination should note any deviations from normal; the occlusion should be noted as well as the development of the upper and lower jaws; the child's susceptibility to at- tack by caries; the overall picture of mouth hygiene; and the general physical development which will give to the dentist a knowledge which can be passed on to the par- ents. They, in turn, can then have any defects cared for by the clinic or by their own private dentist.
The school physicians and nurses are to be congrat- ulated on their alertness to gross dental conditions. By referring this type to the clinic, absenteeism can be kept at a minimum.

Report of Inspector of Plumbing
Honorable Board of Selectmen
Randolph, Mass.
I hereby submit my yearly report. In the year 1953 the following fixtures were installed - 244 water closets - 224 sinks - 133 wash bowls - 190 tubs - 10 shower baths - 24 wash trays - 36 urinals - 147 tankless heat- ers - 36 pressure boilers and 5 drinking fountains.
Early in the year I appeared before the Board of Health and asked to have the plumbing fees changed. Instead of the regular five dollar fee, I was given permis- sion by the members of the Board of Health, upon the advice of Town counsel, to change the fee to two dollars for the first fixture and one dollar for each fixture there- after.
This brings our system in comparison with most of the other small towns. In my opinion it is a fair method whereby a small home owner would pay a fee according to the number of fixtures installed. The new rate really pays for the amount of work done. The small home own- er is protected and the town benefits on larger buildings ruch as the new telephone building, or any other such business as may have to be installed in the future.
The year 1954 should be a busy one as far as the building trade in Randolph is concerned. There are sev- eral projects already under construction and several others are to be started in the spring.
Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS O'RILEY, Plumbing Inspector.
