until Oct. 31st, when the erection of the new engine, boiler, large dynamo, etc., having been completed they were put into use dur- ing the hours of the evening when the greatest number of lamps are being burned, which is at this season from 5 o'clock to 9.30 P. M. At the latter hour the number of lamps burning, as shown by the meters at the station, enables us to shut down the main plant and run the balance of the night with the small dynamo and the street system engine.
This arrangement works well, and is economical in use of coal, as the additional load of the house lights adds but slightly to the amount of coal used after 11 o'clock P. M., and from that time until the street lights are shut off the cost of coal chargeable to the house lights is very small. One boiler furnishes ample steam to run both street and house lights.
At the special town meeting of Nov. 28th it was voted to run the street lights all night, as a protection against burglars, and they have been so operated since Dec. 1st. This has necessi- tated the employment of an additional man as lamp trimmer, as the carbons have to be renewed every day, instead of every other day as heretofore. The house lighting dynamos are also run all night, although after 12 o'clock but few lights are burned at any one time, it is a great convenience to users to be able to get light at any hour of the night.
Six 1,200 c. p. arc lights and eleven 25 c. p. incandescents have been added to the street system during the year and are now in regular operation, making the total number of arcs 81, and of incandescents 91. I estimate that the latter are equal to 24 arcs, and for the purpose of the estimates of this report I treat the plant as one with 105 arc lights alone.
A detailed statement is annexed of the operating expenses, not including interest or depreciation, for the eleven months covered by this report. These are classified into the various accounts re- quired by the State Gas and Electric Light Commissioners.
By reference to. the summary of these expenses it will be seen that the total expense of operating the entire plant for eleven months has been $4,186.54. ~ It is a matter of considerable

difficulty to divide these expenses between the street and house systems, as only a gradually increasing part of the latter was in operation during but a part of the 11 months, and as an addi- tional complication was introduced by the extra cost of running the street lights all night during December.
I know of no fairer way to divide these expenses than on the basis of cost of the street lights, as shown in my last report, which covered a period during which the street lights were oper- ated alone.
This report showed that the cost for operating expenses alone per 1,200 C. P. arc lamp per year was $35.45, and I therein further estimated that a saving of $1.25 on each lamp per year would result from adding five to the total number of lamps in use. As a larger number have been added, it is perhaps fair to increase this to $1.75 ; deducting this from $35.45 gives $33.70 as an estimate of operating expenses based on my last report of the cost of a 1,200 C. P. arc lamp for a year, multiplying this by the total number of lights, 105, gives $3,538.50 as the cost for operating expenses of 105 lights for twelve months or $3,243.62 for eleven months.
I estimate the additional "cost of running the street lights all night for one month to be $131.25 or $15 per light per year. This added to $3,243.62 gives $3,374.87, which I consider a fair estimate of the portion of the total operating expenses ($4,186.51), chargeable to the street system. The balance, $811.67, would then be the amount chargeable to the house lights.
The receipts from house and store lighting have been as follows :
For July
$91 46
For August
120 57
For September
178 09
For October ..
220 00
For November
272 92
For December
370 25
Total .
$1,253 29
111
This is enough to pay the amount $811.67 that I have esti- mated as the proportion of the total operating expense chargeable to house lighting and also the interest on the total cost of the house lighting extension during the six months covered by these receipts, i. e., on $19,000 for six months at 4 per cent. per annum, which is $380. I estimate also that had the same number of users been connected July 1st as on January 1st the receipts would have been between $1,600 and $1,700, which would have paid in addition to the operating expenses and interest as above the sinking fund requirements for a year, i. e., $430.
The result of the operation of the house system for the first six months promises well for the future, especially when the rapid in- crease in the number of users is taken into consideration and that the period during which it has been in operation has been one of the severest financial stringency. Furthermore, I believe that had that section of the town now lighted by private parties been lighted by the town's plant that the result of even the first six months would have shown a handsome profit.
I estimate that the total operating expenses of the whole plant for 1894 will be $6,775. Of this $5,113.50 is chargeable to the street lights (105 lights at $48.70 each), leaving $1,661.50 to be paid from the house lighting receipts. I feel safe in estimating that these will be $4,000 for the ensuing year, which will pay these operating expenses, the interest on the cost of the plant, $760, the sinking fund payment, $430, and still leave a balance of nearly $1,100 for depreciation or for extension of the plant.
Without further cost, except for the purpose of connecting new users, I estimate that the income from the present plant, when run to its full capacity, will be about $6,000 per year, and as the operating expenses need not be any larger than at present, I feel sure that the result will then be a handsome surplus from house lighting that will allow a diminution in the rate, or that can be used to diminish the cost of the street lights.
In accordance with these estimates I recommend that the fol- lowing appropriations for the operation and extension of the plant for the current year be made :
112
For the operation of the street lights the sum of $5,110.
The sum of $1,500 for the purpose of connecting new users of house light.
From the receipts for electric lighting, the sum of $1,660, to pay the cost of operating the house plant.
From the receipts for electric lighting the sum of $660 to pay interest on the house plant bonds, i. e., 4 per cent. of $16,500.
From the receipts for electric lighting the sum of $430 for sink- ing fund payment for house light bonds.
The balance of the receipts for electric lighting for the purpose of connecting new users.
Under the municipal lighting law it devolves upon the manager of a municipal electric lighting system to fix the method and rate of charging for the use of the light. This is a matter to which I gave a great deal of consideration and I finally adopted the meter system, except for a few stores, where it seemed pos- sible to reckon with a considerable degree of accuracy the number of hours that the lights would be burned, and I fixed the rate at 6 mills per 16 candle power light per hour. In addition to the charge for light a charge of ten cents per month is made for the use of the meter.
This rate of 6 mills has been criticised as too low to cover all costs and charges of operating the plant. The usual rate charged by private companies is one cent per hour, but I felt that in a system owned and operated by the public the first essential was a low rate in order to bring the light within the means of as large a number of our citizens as possible, and as there is little if any greater expense in running a system at its full capacity than at half that capacity, and as I believed that the low rate would result in at least double the number of users that the regular rate of one cent would, I figured that 100 users at 6 mills would be financially more profitable than fifty at one cent, besides giving the benefit of the light to twice the number of our citizens.
I feel that the result of the operation of the plant so far has shown the correctness of my reasoning, as 70 connections almost at the start in a time of such business depression as this, is an
113
excellent showing and one far better than the usual average, as inspection of the last report of the Gas Commissioners shows, in which I find that Amherst has 72 users of commercial incandes- cent lights ; Beverly, 37; Canton, 46; Brookline, 89; Chelsea, 85; Dedham, 101; Gloucester, 119; Holyoke, 76 ; Leicester, 45 ; Middleborough, 68, Milton, 51; Natick, 83; Northampton, 27; Plymouth, 94; Taunton, 66.
In most of these places the electric system has been running for years, and most of them have a population many times larger than Braintree, while their number of users of the light is propor- tionately much smaller, a result that can only be due to our low rate.
1
If our rate was increased to any considerable extent I feel sure that the total income would be reduced by a diminution in the number of takers, but with a continuance of anything like the present rate of increase in the number of users, I shall hope that it may be possible to reduce even the present low rate in another year or two.
The total cost of the entire electric lighting plant to date is as follows :
Street lighting system, as per committee's report for the year ending Feb. 1, 1893, including ma- terial on hand at that date unused $30,853 85
Extension of street system during 1893 666 32

WATER DEPARTMENT.
REPORT FROM
Jan. 1, 1893, to Dec. 31, 1893.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
The Board of Water Commissioners respectfully presents to the citizens of Braintree its seventh annual report of the conduct of the department from Jan. 1, 1893, to Dec. 31, 1893, inclusive. We believe that the exhibit made during the past year must prove satisfactory to the townspeople at large, as it certainly has to the officials in charge of this department.
In the year 1892, which was the first full year that the system was operated by the town, the total charge for rates was $9,841.64. For the year 1893 the total charge for water was $12,125.90, an increase of $2,284.26 in one year. As will be seen by reference to the financial report annexed, the operating expenses have not increased, while the consumption of water shows a material growth.
EXTENSION OF MAINS.
At the annual meeting the town voted the sum of $3,000 for ex- tension of the water mains. This amount was expended in con- struction, a detailed account of which will be found in the report of the superintendent. Our town is at present piped so that nearly the entire population can be supplied with water. It is an exceptional case to find a system in a town of this size which reaches so large a proportion of the population. This can be more clearly understood by reference to the statistical report an- nexed. For the ensuing year we are of the opinion that it will not be necessary for the town to make a special appropriation for
128
extension. We intend, however, to continue the extension begun at Capen's Bridge as far as the corner of Washington and Cedar streets. This can no doubt be done with the excess in water rates, if appropriated for that purpose. All extensions made during the past year have been done under the direction of our superintendent, the laborers being hired by the day. We think this way preferable to the contract system, as it insures more thorough workmanship.
SUPPLY.
The increase in the number of consumers, while very desirable, draws heavily upon the gallery during the summer months. We were fortunate during the past summer so that we were not obliged to issue restrictive notices as to the use of lawn hose. It would be for the interest of everybody, however, if consumers would be moderate in the use of water for sprinkling purposes.
To strengthen our supply we have caused a 12-inch main to be laid into Little Pond and connected with the pumps, a description of which is given in the report of the superintendent. This, of course, will not be utilized unless in case of emergency: The 12-inch pipe used upon this job was dug up on Pond street, being part of the unused main of the Great Pond system.
QUALITY OF WATER.
We have been particularly fortunate in the purity of the water. We know of no system where the consumers evince more satisfac- tion with the supply. The excellence of the water and its freedom from foreign and vegetable matter is shown by the report of the analysis by the State Board of Health, which appears in this. volume.
HYDRANTS.
We have caused extensive repairs to be made upon the Coffin and Whittier hydrants during the past year, and they are now in good condition. We propose to use a better quality of hydrant in the future, believing it the most economical course to pursue.

SURVEY AROUND LITTLE POND.
The appropriation of $250 for a survey of the borders of Little Pond has not been expended. The board did not secure the services of the competent landscape engineer which it desired, so the matter has been postponed. The money should be reap- propriated, as this matter of protecting the borders of our source of supply is of paramount importance.
SUPERINTENDENCY.
Mr. William E. Maybury has continued in the capacity of super- intendent of the system. His relations with the Board have been of the most cordial nature. His training and experience in water works business enables him to efficiently superintend the routine affairs, and also to engineer any extension which may be required or any change in pumping machinery.
SINKING FUNDS,
As will be seen by the report of the Treasurer a very small balance remains in savings banks. The trustees have bought of the town 16 municipal lighting bonds amounting to $16,500.
We believe that no better investment could be made.
For the year 1894 we ask for an appropriation of $3,825 for hydrant sevice, and $5,000 for sinking fund. We believe that the interest and operating expenses can be paid from the revenue, which promises a gradual increase.
We would respectfully refer you to the report of the superin- tendent, the report of the collector, and the financial and statisti- cal data annexed.
