MANAGER'S REPORT
To Municipal Light Board, Town of Braintree, Mass.
Gentlemen :- I herewith submit my report of the busi- ness of this department for the twelve months ending De- cember thirty first, 1921.
1 We can again report considerable increase in the volume of business over the preceeding year, yet on the whole it was not entirely up to expectation, and this was due largely to the results of a disasterous fire early in the year which deprived the department of one of its largest customers, this corpora- tion was again connected to our service lines in November.
On March seven, 1921 we transfered all.outgoing service lines to the new switchboard located in that part of the building that was extended toward the street during the preceeding year, and we now have a modern board and switching apparatus capable of supplying service require- ments upward of five thousand kilowatts. This switch- board installation called for an outgoing service tower, which we had erected in the rear of the station and equipped with all modern transmission accessories.
April first we began the installation of two, two hundred sixty horse power rating Union water tube boilers, this work entailed the removal from the building of three old horizontal tubular boilers with uptakes, the construction of proper foundations for the new units, and the substitution of steel roof supports in place of the former wood trusses. July eleventh found this work completed to the extent of allowing us to put one of the boiler units under pressure and operate our own service supply.
These units were constructed to carry two hundred pounds steam pressure and are equipped with superheaters for one hundred degrees, all valves and fittings in pipe lines are constructed of steel with the necessary specifications for high pressure superheated operation.
Two new feed water pumps and one national feedwater heater with capacity for an additional six hundred horse power of boiler rating have been installed, and blank con- nections on present steam heater for future boiler and turbine additions have been provided.
Boilers are fired with fuel oil, three burners being standard equipment for each unit, and we have no difficulty in generating steam in one boiler "using two burners only" sufficient to maintain a steady load of six hundred and fifty kilowatts on turbine. Under proper load conditions we have proven by test that we can produce at switchboard four kilowatts per each gal of fuel oil consumed, and during the coming year we will without doubt obtain excellent results in fuel economy.
148
-
The old boilers that we were obliged to remove are stored near railroad sidetracks, and can be loaded on cars without any difficulty and at slight expense, they have been painted and otherwise properly protected from the elements, but we have not as yet been successful in procuring a pur- chaser.
The one hundred and fifty horse power Rollins engine has not been removed from foundation, while the one hundred and forty kilowatt generator was shipped to the Karl Andren Co., Boston, who are endeavoring to procure a purchaser.
We are again having some difficulty in procuring sufficient condensing water during extreme low tide periods, especially so when there is ice in the river, and it is my opinion that it will be necessary during the coming year to dredge our supply basin, and construct a new supply tank at a relatively lower level to the channel.
Our system of meter reading and collecting as recom- mended and adopted by the board in 1918 has proven both successful and efficient as evidenced by the fact, that during the present year we have not been obliged to write off to profit and loss one single bad account. This surely is most encouraging and convincing in comparison with the results obtained prior to the adoption of the present methods.
Two hundred and thirty-four new services were con- nected during the year making atotal of 2482 on file. Of this amount approximately thirty-five services are inactive.
These connections called for extension of lines on Liberty, Walnut, Arthur and Academy Streets, Harrison, Ellsworth and Lakeview Avenues, Wilmarth and Wyman Roads. Using 16 new 35 foot poles. 7,500 ft., No. 6 wire, and 1,500 ft. No. 2 wire. Other house connections required in process of installation 12,670 ft. No. 6 and 500 ft. No. 4 wire.
Replacement of poles were as follows: 13-35 Foot on Liberty Street, 3-35 Washington, 1-35 River, 1-35 Bowditch, 2-35 Elliot, 3-35 Union, 2-35 School, 2-35 Howard, 1-35 Cedar Road, 6-35 Cochato, 1-35 Brookside, 2-35 Elmwood Park, 1-40 Ft. Hollis Ave., 1-40 Franklin, 1-40 So. Braintree Square, 1-50 Ft. Mill Lane, making a total of forty-one poles.
Street lights were installed as follows: In East Brain- tree, 2-Thayer Street, 1-Sterling St. and 1-Commercial St., In So. Braintree, 1-Plymouth and Arbutus Avenue and 1-Lakeview Ave. requiring in process of installation 4,000 ft. No. 6 wire, costing in other stock and labor $275.00.
The total number of street lights now connected is 764.

Report of the Planning Board
Under the provisions of G. L. Chapter 41, Section 70, the Town of Braintree was required in 1921 to choose a Planning Board and did so at the last Annual Town Election.
The Board in the first year of its existence, found itself without funds and handicapped by its inexperience. Its function is purely advisory and is not to be confounded, as is often the case, with that of a board of survey.
Throughout the year several meetings were held and various minor matters were investigated, among them the extension of the State Highway from the Braintree line along Willard Street, West Quincy to Furnace Brook Park- way, and the question of the location of the dry dock near the Quincy boundary at Hayward's Creek. It has been found from examination of the doings of such boards in other towns that matters are often referred to them which under our practice go to various special committes. For example, in Waterown the problem of school housing and of a proposed civic center at Watertown Square appear this year, to have been referred to the Planning Board of that town.
This Board recommends that the Town investigate the advisability of accepting the provisions of the General Laws for the establishment of a board of survey and that pending action thereon, the Town instruct its various de- partments not to install utilities on unaccepted streets, un- less plans of such streets or proposed streets have been approved by the Planning Board.

WATER COMMISSIONERS REPORT
The Board of Water Commissioners herewith submits the Annual Report for the year expiring December 31, 1921 as required by Article 2 Section 2 of the Town By-Laws:
The year just expired has been more favorable for progressing with additions and improvements that have long been delayed owing to excessive cost of everything connected with Water Works construction, and quite an amount of work has been accomplished which adds materi- ally to the efficiency of the System. At the Annual Town Meeting held in March last, the Board asked for authority to make several additions to the Main Pipes and were granted authority to proceed and specified amounts were placed at their disposal.
Under Article 49 of the Warrant, it was voted to re- appropriate $4,800.00 unexpended from the previous year for the extension of the mains on West Street to Five Cor- ners and the main on Storrs Avenue to connect with Elm Street to be taken from the revenue of Department. This work has been completed at a cost of $2,412.55 for West Street and $1,803.60 for Storrs Avenue, leaving a balance of the appropriation of $583.85 unexpended.
Under Article 51, it was voted to appropriate from the revenue of the Department $1,200.00 for the extension of the 6" main on Cedar Street to connect with the main on Elm Street. The extension has been completed at a cost of $1,296.57.
Under Article 52, it was voted to appropriate from the revenue of the Department $900.00 for extending the Main on Shaw Street and we have completed this extension at a cost of $816.26.
Under Article 54, it was voted to appropriate $1000.00 to complete a summer service on Grove Street from Plain Street to the residence of Mrs. T. F. Quimby. This extension was made at a cost of $999.94.
Under Article 56, it was voted to appropriate from the revenue of the Department $3,400.00 to extend the main on Plain Street from Liberty Street to the Nelson property on Plain Street. The extension has been completed at a cost of $3,344.58.
In addition to the above mentioned extensions provided for by vote of the Town, we have made additional exten- sions and connections as follows:
Under the river at Shaw St., bridge to re-
place a former pipe which had been
condemned costing $531.51
159
Extension of the 12" main on Tremont St.,
to Hobart Avenue, cost . 685.43
Harrison Avenue from Middle Street 6" main Cost. . 409.20
Lakeview Ave. 6" Main, cost 599.78
Wyman Road extension of 4" main, cost 633.78
Cresent Avenue 4" Main to take place of 1"
pipe, cost. 140.93
Renewal of 1" pipe on Thayer St., with
4" Main connecting with Cedar Cliff Road Costing . 909.79
Under Article 53, the Town voted to appropriate $4000 to be expended under the direction of the Water Commis- sioners for the development of an additional water supply, two thousand to be taken from the tax levy and $2,000.00 from the revenue of the Water . Department. Little pro- gress has as yet beenmade in the investigation contemplated owing to unfavorable weather conditions and non-comple- tion of the survey.
In July the $150,000.00 Water Loan of 1891 matured and was paid off and in October the last serial note of $1500. issued for the improvement of the Plant at the Great Pond Station was paid, and the outstanding funded indebtedness of the Water Department has been reduced to the Water Loan of 1896 of $6,000.00 maturing August 1, 1926. The value of the Sinking Fund to care for this loan is at this date $5,292.06 and we recommend that a sufficient amount be taken from the balance of the Water Department as of December 31, 1921 to liquidate the Loan and clear the Department from debt.
Notwithstanding these additions to the system which have been made the past year, the Commissioners feel that there are still further additions that are equally important to insure to the citizens a continuous supply of water and to add to the better protection of property from fire, the importance of which has been demonstrated by the rapid increase of population and the very marked increase in Real Estate. This increased demand for water has not been met with a corresponding increase in the facilities for producing it, and to secure adequate service for domestic and commercial uses and for additional fire protection, we make the following recommendations as the first and most important.
Another direct supply to the Stand-Pipe which can be had by completing the 6"line on Granite Street making a direct connection with the Stand-Pipe by King Hill Road, Granite Street to Five Cornersand WestStreet to Stand-Pipe.
160
In case of trouble in either supply pipe requiring shutting off of the water, there would still be direct connection with the Stand-Pipe and no inconvenience to consumers would ensue.
Continuation of the 12 inch main on Tremont Street from present 12 inch pipe to Academy Street eliminating two dead ends and increasing the pressure in this locality which under present conditions is not up to requirements.
Extensions through French Avenue from Union Street to Pearl Street to eliminate the dead ends on Union Street and Holbrook Avenue and give additional fire protection to extensive manufacturing interests in this vicinity which at present is entirely inadequate.
The extension of the 6 inch main on Washington Street from Cedar Street to Fairfield Street thereby eliminating two dead ends and giving a much needed relief to the in- habitants of Washington Park and vicinity. -
These recommendations are in line with the policy of the Board to discontinue wherever possible dead ends which are not only a source of annoyance to the consumer but an item of considerable expense to the Department as frequent calls are made to flush them which consumes much time of employees.
The Commissioners were much gratified by the con- fidence placed in their judgment at the Annual Meeting in March last as evidenced by the readiness with which they were granted their requests for authority to carry out their recommendations and trust the work that has been com- pleted the past year justifies that confidence.
The reports of the Secretary, Registrar, Treasurer, Superintendent, and Chief Engineer are hereto appended.
