Report of The Planning Board
The Planning Board submits herewith the annual re- port for the year 1959.
The Master Plan Study of the Community by the firm of Shurcliff and Merrill has been completed and copies will be available immediately after town elections and before town meeting. The Planning Board welcomes suggestions and recommendations in regard to putting into action the recommendations of said Master Plan.
The Board has revised and brought up to date its rules and regulations so that the town will be assured of
266
TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASSACHUSETTS
adequate roads and drainage and with the hopes that the town in the future will not have to assume the burdens of capital outlays to improve and correct roads and drain- ages as they have had to do in the past.
The Planning Board has instituted a plan for approval of sub-divisions which it considers will lead to an orderly development and growth of the town.
Respectfully submitted,
Randolph Planning Board

Report of The Town Counsel
To Robert A. Hancock Town Manager
The Legal Department has concerned itself with Ap- pellate Tax Board hearings, suits on bonds, tort claims, suits concerning welfare matters, and appeals from Plan- ning Board decisions.
In addition to actual litigation, the Department is called upon by other Town Agencies, Boards and Depar- ments to render legal opinions and advice concerning transactions involving the Town.
Questions arise concerning departmental jurisdiction, rights, duties and obligations of Town employees. Many
267
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
of the questions arise for the first time because they involve new legislation which may be difficult of inter- pretation or upon which a Court has not passed.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM J. CARR, Town Counsel
Report of The Board of Selectmen
Citizens of Randolph :
Your Board of Selectmen submits herewith their an- nual report of the year 1959.
During the year we were saddened by the loss of four former conscientious Town Employees, Joseph Daley, Joseph Wales, Edward Lloyd and Weston Leon Mann. Their contributions of service to our community will pro- vide inspiration for those who carry on in the future.
The rapid growth of our town during the past sev- eral years has created a multitude of problems and needs as has been the case in many other Massachusetts towns where fast growth has occurred. Randolph is striving to meet your needs and progress has been made. Many of the public services have been expanded and many needed construction projects have been built or are being built. This "catching-up to your needs" process is producing a severe impact on your tax bill. We are keenly aware of this impact and we hope it can be offset by industrial growth in the town.
The state's road-building program around us is near- ing completion. We hope and expect that some of our
268
TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASSACHUSETTS
traffic problems will be alleviated when the last link of the new Route 128 is opened in May.
We believe that the completion of these state roads will be a boon to future industrial growth here.
Rest assured that your Board of Selectmen will do everything possible to encourage the growth of industry in Randolph.
We are faced with four major elections this year and we urge each and every citizen to express their right as a free American and vote for the candidate of your choice. "You the people are the government".
Our sincere gratitude to all that have been so coop- erative and have assisted us in any manner.
Board of Selectmen,
GEORGE H. KILEY, JR., Chairman GEORGE F. CULLEN Clerk RALPH H. HUTCHINSON
JOSEPH J. SEMENSI
THEODORE S. LUDDINGTON
