ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT


Report of Business and Industrial Commission


During the past year it has become apparent indus- trial expansion is moving from a northerly and westerly direction in the Boston region to a more southerly one. The next two years will find this trend increasing in mo- mentum. Randolph is now attracting inquiries and in- vestigations from interested business and industry.


The recent announcement of Trim-Alloys, Inc. plan to join our community and build here is but one indication of this growing industrial interest in our town. The features Trim Alloy found desirable in Randolph, we believe other industries will also find desirable; nearness to major highways and truck routes, sewerage facilities, abundance of electrical power, an adequate labor pool, and a cooperative Town government. We wish to con- gratulate Town Manager Robert Hancock and Building Inspector Frank Teed on their efforts in "Selling Ran- dolph" to this new industry.


To aid in and keep abreast of the southerly industrial trend, your commission has prepared articles for the an- nual town warrent which we believe will make us more attractive to industry by safeguarding residential, business and industrial zones.


We have attended seminars conducted by the Mass. Dept. of Commerce on the advertising, financing and planning of industrial areas; met and consulted with town planners; attended meetings of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce, and continued our distribution of literature for the Town of Randolph.


The Master Plan of our Town has been completed and a planned approach to the location of business and industrial areas given. These recommended areas, your


130


TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASSACHUSETTS


commission feels, are in good locations, based on a careful study and should be used as a guide to insure our future attractiveness to business and industry.


During the coming year your commission plans to continue attendance and participation in Mass. Dept. of Commerce seminars and meetings, meet with Industrial Commissions of neighboring communities and increase dis- tribution of advertising brochures.


The commission wishes to express appreciation for the cooperation and assistance given by Town Depart- ments and local servce organizations.


Can YOU help us ... "SELL RANDOLPH"?

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT


Report of The Civil Defense


Civil Defense can save the tax payers money by pro- viding equipment through Federal Surplus Property issues, and by using Federal and State Matching Funds.


To qualify for these benefits it is required that the various Town Departments personnel be supplemented for emergency purposes by Civil Defense auxiliary member- ship, as CD Police, CD Firemen, Highway and Water de- partments, Welfare and Rescue services, and Communica- tions.


The more efficiently civil defense is organized in all departments, the more opportunity afforded Randolph for government assistance in procuring for our own town equipment, and supplies that will be available for any type of emergency.


The Civil Defense Agency of Randolph has qualified to receive government equipment and supplies of surplus property, and is one of the 351 cities and towns of Massa- chusetts so qualified.


At present we are equipped to establish one First Aid Station. We need two more. Randolph has a Communi- cation Section that meets once each week, and is effici- ently organized under the direction of George Foley.


We need CD volunteer firemen to receive instruction under Chief Paul Anderson. Chief Patrick McDonnell will provide instruction to CD Police for emergency ser- vice.


A balanced CD organization for Randolph, can save lives and property at a time when outside help may not be available. Every person in our town should interest him-


132

self or herself in the advantages for self protection, in case of fire, explosion, storm, or unforseen calamity, as pro- vided in our Civil Defense Agency.

Report of Director of Veterans' Services


The year 1959 was one of the busiest years since the town adopted Chapter 115 of the General Laws.


Our office developed and processed over 700 claims for veterans benefits, under both Federal and State Laws. Most of the year our average on veterans benefits alone was over 100 cases. Our appropriation for 1959 was $55,000.00 and we disbursed the sum of $52,209.67, there- fore turned back to the E. and D. Account $2,790.33. The Town of Randolph will be reimbursed by the Common- wealth of Massachusetts 50% of our disbursement, which amounts to $26,104.83. On Assignment and Lien Cases, we have recovered the sum of $2,678.03 that was paid to veterans benefits cases, making a total turned over to the Town Treasury $5,478.36, plus the $26,104.83 from the State.


We gratefully acknowledge the splendid cooperation from the Town Manager, Town Officials and Veterans Organizations for making the year 1959 a most successful one.

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT


Report of The School Planning and Building Committee


The expenditures for the Lyons School, dedicated and occupied on December 2, 1958, have nearly been com- pleted. Starting the year of 1959 the School Planning and Building Committee had a balance of $102,968.68. Expenditures such as additional fencing, additional equip- ment and payment on contracts have reduced the balance as of December 31, 1959 to $9,265.69. This sum will be used to make final payments during 1960.


The $10,000.00 appropriation for preliminary plans and specifications for an 800-pupil Junior High School was still intact on January 1, 1959. The committee continued its interviews and investigations of architects until June 1959 when it made known its selection of the firm of Stoner Associates of Boston. In July of 1959, after ap- proval by the town of its choice, a contract for preliminary plans and specications was signed.


At a special Town Meeting on November 9, 1959, where a preliminary presentation was made, the town raised and appropriated the sum of $1,135,000.00 for the design and construction of this school.


After expenditures of $8,455.00, which included pay- ment to the architect, test borings and survey, there re- mained a balance of $1,545.00. No expenditures were made against the design and construction appropriation, so the $1,135,000.00 remained intact. All Junior High School expenditures through December 31, 1959 were


134


TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASSACHUSETTS


against the appropriation for preliminary plans and speci- fications.


Progress on the design of the new Junior High School had reached approximately 25% as of December 31, 1959.

Report of The Fire Department


I herewith submit the report of the Randolph Fire Department for the year ending December 31, 1959.


Within the past ten years it has been necessary for the fire department to replace stations and apparatus which were outmoded and beyond repair.


While these were a part of the many, but necessary, burdens which the taxpayers' had to bear, it is gratifying to report these expenditures have resulted in lower insur- ance rates in the town. To further reduced insurance rates, recommendations of the New England Fire Insur- ance Rating Association will be followed to the best of our ability.


Our buildings, apparatus and equipment are now in good condition. However, the growth of the town makes it necessary to extend fire alarm lines and boxes. Several fire alarm boxes were installed as long ago as 1900. These are being replaced and it will probably require two more years to complete the project.


Randolph had only two major fires in 1959, and both were mercantile buildings. Property losses in dwellings were unusually low, which, I feel, is a merit to our depart- ment.


At this time I wish to commend the firefighters of my department who have helped make such a fine record possible.


The department responded to 421 fire calls classified as follows :

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT


Report of Tree Warden and Moth Superintendent


I herewith submit my report as Tree Warden and Moth Superintendent for the year of 1959. The regular program of repairing storm damage, trimming and re- moval of dead and dangerous trees was carried on during the year. As this work is spread over eighty five miles of road, it limits the amount of work to any one street.


1. Trees removed in year of 1959


During the year, 90 trees were removed. Also, 20 trees were removed for Highway Department in con- nection with street and sidewalk construction. Loca- tion of dead trees removed in the year of 1959 can be found in the Town Manager's office.


2. Tree Planting in the year of 1959


The restoration of the beauty of our town of Randolph by planting trees, both shade and ornamental, is an important function of our town. The rapid develop- ment of our town since the war years has created a great need for more tree planting. A total of 85 trees was planted in the year of 1959. Location of trees planted in the year of 1959 can be found in the Town Manager's office.


3. Tree Trimming


During 1959 extensive tree trimming was carried out on many streets throughout the town. Trees were trimmed around street lights as much as possible. Low hanging limbs and dead branches were removed where necessary. Three hundred truck loads of limbs, bran- ches, and trunks of trees were trucked to town dump.


146


TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASSACHUSETTS


4. Safety of the town is very important


The economy of our country and our National Defense is entirely dependent upon the proper functioning of electric and telephone service without interruption. If large limbs or branches are in the way of the wires, or trees are in the way of wires, they should be re- moved for the safety of both electric and the telephone company.


5. Education


The educational side of our work is an important field as the public knows so little about trees and related problems. In the course of a year many hundreds of requests for information relative to trees and tree care, conservation, insect problems, etc., are answered or advice given where assistance may be had to guide them.


6. Moth Department


The Commonwealth of Massachusetts through its In- sect Pest Control Department has notified this depart- ment that our liability for gypsy moth work for the coming year is $3,300.


As has been stated, we are taking down many more trees than are being planted, and our program of plant- ing should be increased immediately.


At this time I wish to thank the Town Manager and Board of Selectmen and citizens for their splendid co- operation during the past year.


Respectfully submitted,


JOSEPH J. HART, Tree Warden and Moth Superintendent.
