MANAGER'S REPORT.
Municipal Electric Light Board, Braintree, Mass.
Gentlemen :- I wish to submit herewith, my report of the business of this department for the year ending December 31, 1919, together with some important changes that it will be necessary to make at the plant if we continue to generate electricity.
Owing to our actual and prospective increase in volume required to supply our customers we shall be obliged to add to our boiler plant, as it is now lacking in capacity to supply our requirements, and as these boilers were installed in 1892 and 1893, and being over twenty years in service, we are informed by the boiler insurance company that the allowed pressure will be cut from twenty to twenty-five pounds on August 1, 1920. In this extremity we shall be compelled to replace them with new boilers of sufficient capacity to operate our generating units.
Our switchboard also needs rebuilding, as it is in- dequate to our increased volume of transmission.
Two hundred twenty-four new service connections were made in 1919, making the total in active service Dec. 31, 1919, twenty-one hundred and forty-three, (2143). For this work 16,880 feet or 1875 pounds of number 6 wire was used.
Wire added to primary lines No. 6, 13,011 ft., 1446 lbs. Wire added to primary lines No. 4, 12,384 ft., 1770 lbs.
Wire added to secondary lines, No. 6, 14,175 ft., 1575 lbs.
Poles set. 1919, - 79
Street lights were lighted 348 days during the year and burned 3165 hours.
Wire added to street light lines 11,475 ft. or 1,275.lbs.

REPORT OF BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
As is required by the By-Laws of the Town (Art. II, Sec. II) there is herewith submitted the report of the Water Commissioners for the year ending December 31st, 1919.
The Board was organized at the beginning of the year with Capt. James T. Stevens Chairman, Otis B. Oakman, Treasurer, Wm. L. Gage, Secretary and Purchas- ing Agent, and John W. Mulcahy, Superintendent.
The system had grown to such proportions and the clerical work increased relatively that it was found necessary , to employ an office clerk, and Miss Anna M. Gogan was selected and filled the position until about May 1st, when she left to enter the employ of the Braintree National Bank. Miss Eleanor H. Wilson was selected to take her place.
During the year, notwithstanding the excessive cost of labor and material, seventy-four (74) new services have been installed and there are now 2314 services in active operation, 2133 of which are metered services. The flat rate services are so located that a meter cannot be installed without danger of damage. Forty-two (42) of the older services have had to be renewed. The reading and care of these meters keeps two men busy continually, and this work naturally increases as the system ages. This makes no small part of the expense of the Department.
The rapid growth of Precinct Three made it necessary to have some additional connection for that section and at the annual meeting in March the Town voted an appropria- tion of $3,500.00 to extend the main on Middle Street. from the dead end (1750 feet more or less) to connect with the main on Liberty Street. This extension has been completed and we were enabled to do it within the approp- riation and leave a balance in the Town Treasury of $473.09 unexpended. The extension is now in operation and gives an additional supply in case of any break in the water mains on Adams Street or Elm Street. Other than this extension little has been done except in short lines on accepted streets to accommodate new construction where the revenue to be derived warranted the expense.
Early in the year the necessity of cleaning and painting the Stand Pipe became apparent and bids for the work were called for. Three were received. The lowest bid was received from Mr. G. I. Winslow of Whitman, Mass., and
169
the job was awarded to him. In the opinion of experts who examined the work, a perfectly satisfactory job was completed.
The labor situation has caused us much annoyance and we have had to pass some work in the Maintenance Department owing to the impossibility of obtaining suitable help.
Very recently a large Manufacturing Company destined to do an extensive business requiring large quantities of water has located in the East Section of the Town and we have had several interviews with representatives of the Company. They have stated what they estimate their requirements for service will be, which we are unable, with the present capacity of the Plant, to furnish. We have arranged to care for them to such an extent as our facilities will allow. Our Plant as it stands at the present time seems to have reached its limit, and we believe that steps should be taken at once to place the Department in a position to care for any new enterprises that may locate in the Town. The east section is the least protected of any part of the Town in case of trouble in the main supply pipes and in this connection we desire to call the attention of the citizens to some most important matters in relation to the growth of the water system and the increase in popula- tion and manufacturing interests of the Town, particularly in the past eight or ten years, and which are entirely out of proportion. The original main from the Station at Great Pond running through Pond, Washington and West Streets, and from which the Stand Pipe is supplied, remains the same as when first installed over thirty years ago, and the population it then supplied has much more than doubled in the intervening time, largely in the North and East sections of the Town. Should any break occur in this main the entire North and East parts of the Town would be absolutely without water. To correct the danger that might thus take place, the interval on Granite Street should be closed and a main connecting Granite Street through West Street laid, making a second supply pipe to the Stand Pipe. This would safeguard the system to the corner of Washington Street and Hollis Avenue only. For further safety, the main running through Oak Street and Hollis Avenue to and through Cochato Road and Storrs Avenue to a dead end on Storrs Avenue should be continued to connect with the main on Washington Street and Elm Street. This would give two direct supply mains to East Braintree: one River, Middle and Liberty Streets, and one through Elm, Adams and Hayward Streets. Having given this particular addition the most careful study and consideration,
170 ~
we believe it should be done in the shortest time possible. There are other minor additions to the system that must be made on public ways which will have to be given the attention of the Commissioners as soon as weather will permit.
It will be noticed by referring to the report of the Treasurer on another page that there is a balance to the credit of the Water Department of nearly $8,000.00, and we believe this should be used solely for the Water Depart- ment, and re-appropriated for the use of the Commissioners to build up the system to meet present conditions.
Another matter that should be brought to the attention of the citizens is that of settlement of water bills when they are presented. It is very annoying to people to be dunned, but we are obliged to do much of this kind of work which adds to the postage account and in not a few cases, collection can only be made through a personal call of a collector and threats to discontinue the supply. We have no regular collector, and we have to take men from their regular work which ought not to be neglected. All of this adds to the clerical work and creates unecessary expense. It is much easier to settle the account when presented than to have it run into a second quarter and have to pay a double assessment. Hereafter, if it is found necessary to send a collector to secure payments, an additional amount of 25 cents will be added to the bill and collected.
As agents of the citizens elected by your votes to ad- minister the affairs of this Department, we have felt the responsibilities resting upon us and from long experience and careful thought given to all matters coming before the Board, we feel that confidence should be placed in our advice and our recommendations, which have not been made with- out careful attention being given to the closest economy allowable without detriment to safety of the Water System, should be given your approval.
In pursuance of a vote of the Town at the last annual Meeting, your Commissioners have considered the advis- ability and desirability of filtering the water supplied from the Great Pond Station, and while the Board does not hesitate to state that the filtration of this supply is highly desirable, it does not consider itself qualified to recommend this procedure to be advisable; it being believed that, before recommendations are submitted, a careful investiga- tion of this subject by competent experts would be in order.
171
It may be stated that your Commissioners have doubts as to the wisdom of investing in a filtration equipment at Great Pond or in any other locality, unless favorable conditions, both monetary and from a health viewpoint, result from an investigation which takes in consideration the following important factors; the first of which has the most direct bearing on the information desired, as expressed by the vote of the Town: -
(A) The probable time when the demand will exceed existing supply from Great Pond, in view of future growth of the Town both in population and manufactories.
(B) Availability of a supply from Little Pond and method of utilizing same in conjunction with the supply from Great Pond in order to meet future requirements.
(C) Possibility of a supply from other sources, not including Metropolitan System, and method of utilizing same.
(D) The desirability of some preparations for entering the Metropolitan System at some future time.
There having been no appropriation of money by the Town for the purpose of conducting an investigation into the matter of filtration, your Board did not consider itself justified in expending, without authorization, an amount sufficient to cover so broad a matter as this subject; and therefore presents the foregoing for such further considera- tion and action as the Town may desire to take.
The reports of the Collector, Registrar and Superinten- dent are appended hereto
