The Town House built in 1858 was destroyed by fire on July 20th, 1911. At the annual March meeting in 1912, the town voted to erect and furnish a (new) Town House on the site of the one destroyed. The sum of $70,550.00 was appro- priated for the purpose. The undersigned were appointed a committee with full authority to erect and furnish a new town building. Plans were submitted by various architects, and that of Messrs. Ingraham & Hopkins, Architects, and F. Edgar Norris, Associate Architect, proved the most satisfac- tory. They were employed as architects, and the building, as completed, is substantially their plan. Bids were called for and made, but the lowest was more than $10,000.00 in excess of the amount of money appropriated by the town. To change the plan and lessen the cost, made a great difference in the size, shape, strength, usefulness, and beauty of the building. Mr. Ellis Hollingsworth, your fellow-townsman, when informed of the situation by the Hon. B. Herbert Wood- sum, very generously contributed the much needed $10,000.00. The erection of the building started about July 25, 1912.
By reason of extra work, unforeseen difficulties, and large expense for furnishing, it was found necessary to ask for more money; and at the March meeting of 1913 an addi- tional $2,000.00 was appropriated. The total amount, there- fore, the committee had to expend was $82,550.00. The amount actually expended by the committee was as follows :--
Woodbury & Leighton Co., builder $66,803.45
Walter B. Ross, heating 4,237.80

ELECTRIC LIGHT DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF THE MUNICIPAL LIGHT BOARD.
We are pleased to report another year of successful serv- ice and growth. We have been able to meet the increased consumption of current required by the installation of 85 new meters without impairing the efficiency of the service, and have no deficit resulting from the reduction in price of ten cents per kilowatt.
Should anyone feel inclined to complain of any one fea- ture of the Department's service, please think over what you are receiving as a whole.
Braintree has the best lighted streets of any town or city in its neighborhood, and an all-night service, which is from three to five hours longer time than most other towns are re- ceiving.
Your electric current is costing you from three to five cents less per kilowatt than is paid by your neighbors, and · you are getting, barring accident, a continuous service twenty- four hours a day and every day in the year.
We are selling you lamps at cost, and the price adds but a small fraction to your electric expense. If the electric com- panies in the neighboring cities and towns, outside of Boston, should give free to their customers all the lamps they needed, Braintree consumers would still have the advantage.
We hope this year to considerably enlarge the capacity and efficiency of our plant, and so secure to consumers a bet- ter service.

MANAGER'S REPORT-1913.
Braintree, Mass.
To Municipal Lighting Board :-
Gentlemen : I respectfully submit herewith my report of the operations of this department for 1913. This being the first report made of twelve months' operation of the plant under the reduced schedule of lighting rates adopted July 1, 1912, I wish to direct your attention to the manufacturing revenue for the present year, which you will notice exceeds that of 1912, five and one-half per cent., notwithstanding that the rates charged for current during the first six months of 1912 were sixteen and seven-tenths per cent. in excess of those now existing.
The actual total output at station switchboard as per our recording instruments was,
For 1913
. 528,373 kilowatt hours
For 1912
485,680 kilowatt hours
Increase 9%
42,693 kilowatt hours
Of the above amounts light and power lines consumed 396,581 kilowatt hours, distributed as follows:
Lighting services .226,303
Power services
40,278
Station auxiliaries 30,000
Current unaccounted for "line loss"
100,000
396,581
In connection with the above you will note that the line loss is approximately 25% of the total output. This is consid- ered as being excessive, 20% being about the average of small plants operating isolated transmission lines.
The above condition can no doubt be improved by the readjustment of the generating plant and lines, from two to three-phase, and this matter, "with your permission," will
245
be taken up during the coming year, and can be accomplished without interference to the service, and with a very reason- able outlay, during the summer months when service is at minimum demand.
The steam and generating plant are in good working con- dition and repairs have been properly attended to, so that units may at all times be at maximum efficiency.
To the street lighting service have been added eight lights, making a total now in use of 671; same have consumed for the year 131,792 kilowatt hours, having been operated 348 nights, at an average of eight hours and fifty-four minutes per night.
Cost additions "street lighting" $392.91
Cost lamp renewals® 555.31
$948.22
The above amounts do not include maintenance other than lamp renewals, as no separate account was kept of same. Number of meters in service Dec. 31, 1913 1209 Number of meters in service Dec. 31, 1912 1124
Increase 85
During the year 267 of the old type watt and amp. hour meters were removed, new kilowatt meters being substi- tuted, in compliance with the State law requiring that all elec- tric meters installed in houses shall read in kilowatt hours. All old meters were returned to the General Electric Co., who allowed an exchange value on same, and all meters now in use by the department are up to State requirement.

SHADE TREE AND MOTH DEPARTMENT
Nineteen hundred and thirteen has been the most success- ful year we have had in the suppressing of the Gypsy and Brown Tail Moths. The amount of money appropriated by the town, with the new sprayer and supplies from the State Department permitted us to reach results which could not have been attained otherwise. A large amount of work was done in cleaning up bad places near the highways, which gave the town the reimbursement from the State represented in the sprayer and supplies to the value of $2135.76. A large amount of work was also done on private property, which un- der the law was assessed to the various owners. The Elm Leaf Beetles were found in a few places, but the general condition in the town as a whole is excellent. It will be nec- essary to make two appropriations this year in order to divide the moth work from the trimming, etc., for if we should be entitled to reimbursement this year from the State, such re- imbursement can only be made after a certain amount has been spent in the suppression of the Moths only.
Work in trimming trees and against the Elm Leef Beetle cannot figure in the Moth account.
Would advise that the owners of property consult with the Superintendent of the Moth work and join with him in doing all that can be done, both on their own grounds and on the highways adjoining, as it is by the co-operation of all that we can get the desired results.
Mr. Walter F. Holmes of the State Forestry Department and now a resident of Braintree, has been of great assistance to your Superintendent in carrying out the work successfully.
