NINTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
Municipal Light Department
OF THE
TOWN OF NORWOOD
-
155
NINTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MUNICIPAL LIGHT DEPARTMENT.
The Municipal Light Board of the town of Norwood, sub- mits this, their ninth annual report.
The Board organized for the past year with Mr. Alfred N. Ambrose, chairman, and Mr. John Gillooly, secretary.
After nine years of activity, this department closes in the form of the organization upon which it was built, an indivi- dual, self governing board.
The Board selected to install and operate the plant for the first three years included Mr. James Berwick, Mr. Walter F. Tilton, and Mr. John Gillooly, Mr. Berwick and Mr. Tilton retired from the board and Mr. A. N. Ambrose, the present chairman, and the late Mr. Thomas A. Houllahan, were elected to fill the vacancies. At the death of Mr. Houllahan, Mr. John E. Folan was appointed in his place, and later elected to the board.
· Now that a change in the form of government is to take place and the board abolished, the present board in closing the ac- counts for the past year, will find it the most successful in its history, and take pleasure in turning the department over to their successors with the earnest wish that it shall continue to be as successful as in the past.
The installing of the new underground cables, between the Norwood station and the Edison Company's station at Ded- ham, is we consider, one of the most important factors con- nected with the plant.
With the wire underground, troubles from trees, broken insulators, etc., which have been the cause of over 95 per cent. of the times the service was out of commission, have been
-
156
eliminated. During the short time we have been receiving service over the underground wires, we have been saved six hours loss of power and light, which the towns fed overhead from the Edison system had to suffer by.
After the Municipal Light Board appeared before the ap- propriation committee and asked for the annual appropriation of $2,500.00, the appropriation committee recommend the above sum be appropriated, to be raised by a one year note, and that an additional sum of $50.00 be appropriated for in- . terest. When the town attempted to realize upon this note it was found that the vote did not conform with the law. The Board voted that the amount earned for depreciation be ap- plied towards new construction and the balance of new con- struction account be paid from the earnings of the depart- ment, thus freeing the town from all financial obligations to the Municipal Light Department.

MANAGER'S REPORT.
Norwood, Dcember 31, 1914.
To the Municipal Light Board :
Gentlemen :- I respectfully submit the following report of the operations of the Municipal Light Department to January - 1, 1915. This report shows the Department has been (con- sidering the dull business depression for the past few months) very successful, the earnings from commercial lighting have increased, while the earnings from sale of power has been $4,297.88 less than same period last year, yet the Department has completed its eleven months without an appropriation from the Town, the first year since the plant was put in operation. And it is one of the first plants in the State to have met all obligations as they came due, paid note of $2,500.00, which has up to this time been raised from the tax levy by an appropriation made by the Town, paid interest, earned depreciation, and made the usual additions to plant necessary by growthof business of $5,455.93. Also gave to the Town street lighting equal to about $12,000.00 if purchased from outside.
Another matter worthy of consideration is the higher efficiency of the new street lamps over those installed when ¡ lant was put in operation seven years ago last August, the latest type of lamps are giving 50 per cent. more light with a slightly less amount of energy used.
The following tables show the growth of commercial busi- ness for past eleven months :

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
The Board of Water Commissioners herewith present their annual report for the year ending December 31st, 1914, with a detailed statement of receipts and expenditures; and as Trustees of the Sinking Fund, a statement of its investments.
At the annual town meeting George A. Smith was elected a Water Commissioner for the term of three years. The Board organized by the choice of William F. Baker, Chair- man, and George A. Smith, Clerk.
Financial Statement in Brief.

Net debt December 31, 1914, $84,963.64
Water Sales in 1914, $33,643.59
The annual water rates and sale of water, for special pur- poses, for the period are $33,643.59, or an increase over the previous year of $652.29. As Trustees of the Sinking Fund we report the following additions :
$1,500.00 for annual requirements.
$1,290.28, the interest on investments.
170
All funds are deposited in Savings Banks or invested in Town of Norwood Notes.
There was added to the system during 1914, 7 Gates, 5 Hydrants; 1952 feet of Street Main Pipe and 87 New Services.
The 4 inch main, which formerly supplied the district of Nahatan Street, from Prospect Street westerly has been, in accordance with the vote of the town at the annual town meeting, replaced with an 8 inch main. This meant the removing and relaying of 1905 feet of pipe, the total cost of which was $2,020.97. Of this amount the sum of $1,224.42 is considered as a charge against maintenance, the balance $796.55, has been considered as an addition to the plant, this sum being the difference between the first cost of pipe and fittings removed and the pipe and fittings supplied. This expenditure necessarily decreases the gain on operations of the present year.
