There are at present 221 consumers, 215 by meter and six on contract.

At the Annual Town Meeting, 1896, the manager was in- structed to charge a minimum rate of ten dollars per year upon all services. Under the above vote there are fourteen consumers that have been charged sums from 59 cents to $6.82, amounting in all to the sum of $37.37, taking into consideration the cost to the town for connecting a con- sumer, i. e., a transformer and meter at a cost of about forty dollars, upon which it is required to charge interest at 4 per cent., and depreciation at 5 per cent., 9 per cent., in all, it seems to be equitable, as the lowest amount charged to any one consumer, viz., $3.18, will not cover the interest and depreciation of a transformer and meter.
There are a few consumers that are delinquent in paying their bills and I would recommend that the town pass a vote instructing the manager to enforce the payment of bills for light and meter rent within a certain date on receipt of their bills, as a vote to that effect would have a tendency to make it easier for the manager in collecting the dues.
Respectfully submitted,
ANSEL O. CLARK. Manager.
