Braintree, January 2nd, 1923.
To the Members of the Braintree Board of Health.
Gentlemen : I have the honor of submitting to you my annual and final report of the Inspection of Slaughtering for the year ending December 31st, 1922. Owing to the eco- nomic conditions and the extreme low price of dressed hogs, there were not so many matured hogs raised the past year. It was necessary to slaughter the young pigs and thus save the expense of raising them. I have inspected during the year 448 carcasses, and have stamped for approval as food 445 car- casses, and condemned as unfit for consumption two hogs. one cow, one hind quarter beef, and 13 livers. The usual in- spections of markets, and meat, and fish pedlers have been made.
Yours respectfully,
EDWARD O. PIERSON,
Inspector of Meats, Provisions and Slaughtering.

SPECIAL APPROPRIATIONS GRANTED DURING THE YEAR 1922.
Middle Street. Labor $715.96, trucking $70.70, material $230.89. Total $1017.13-Balance $12.13.
Franklin and Washington Streets intersection. Paid to the State Highway Department $901.51-Balance $98.49. Adams Street widening. Labor $1821.88, hauling $134.40, stock $1143.72. Contract $850.00. Damage $500.00. Total Cost $4450.00.
Franklin Street sidewalks, held over for lack of abutters' damage release-$4,000.00.
Standish Avenue, held over for abutters' having applied for larger main; to be decided at annual Town meeting, 1923. .
MAINTENANCE.
Maintenance consists principally of patching the seal coating and the water bound macadam gravel and dirt roads. This work is an absolute necessity, and if it were not for maintenance to the roads of the character we have in this Town, more money would have to be put at the disposal of the department, especially if we get the heavy rainstorms that we got last spring. Wherein no particular place shows a great deal more yardage, yet the general repair work spread over the entire town requires a great deal of time and money to keep the roads in anything like condition.
DRAINAGE.
The work of drains carrying surface water is becoming a problem more so every year, as the town for a great many years, in a great many cases, have run surface water onto or through private property, of which many of these drains are being cut off entirely, or calling upon the Town to extend them to the river. The main drainage jobs this year have been done on the following streets: Lakeview Avenue from Tremont Street to Franklin Street, a distance of 1450 feet;
1
166
Middle Street from Fitzgerald's property to Hunt Avenue, a distance of 950 feet; a total distance of 2400 feet. At an average cut of 6 feet 6 inches deep through the entire distance.
BRIDGES.
Repairs were made to a few bridges at a total cost of $749.59-Plain Street bridge being replaced by a reinforced concrete floor and Pearl Street bridge was replanked.
GRANTING OF PERMITS.
Permits have been issued to dig trenches in the streets during the year. The Gas Company, Water Department, Telephone Company, and drain pipe layers are the principal parties who apply for permits to lay their pipes in the streets. I am glad to state that arrangements have been made with the Gas Company, Water Department, and Telephone Company, to take better care of their openings in the future than they have in the past.

REPORT OF THE MUNICIPAL LIGHT BOARD.
To the Citizens of the Town of Braintree :
The Municipal Light Board submits herewith its annual report for the year 1922.
The business of our plant is still growing, as is shown by the detailed report of our Manager. The consumption of over 3,000,000 kilowatts is the largest in the history of the plant. Almost 2,000,000 of this output was for power service, and for which there is a constantly increasing demand.
It will be observed that over one-third of the above output was purchased at a cost considerably above that of our own production. We are therefore confronted with the problem, whether we shall continue to buy current, or borrow enough money to enlarge the plant and thus be independent of outside help. Our Manager estimates that it will cost about $60,000.00 to install the additional machinery. With the money on hand, we can this year take off one-sixth of the cost, leaving $50,000.00 to be borrowed. For this we should need the au- thority and credit of the Town, the plant to be responsible for the payment of the principal and interest, and the whole debt to be cancelled in five years.
We have decided that the latter course is the most prac- tical, but as our decision is too late to have an article in the warrant for the annual meeting next month, we hope soon to bring the matter before the Town for action.
With this increase in equipment we should be inde- pendent of outside help, except in case of a serious accident, and would be able to supply all demands for current for the next ten years.

MANAGER'S REPORT
To Municipal Light Board, Town of Braintree, Mass.
Gentlemen :- I have pleasure in submitting herewith the annual report of the Electric Light Department for the year ending December 31, 1922.
The business for the first six months of 1922 showed con- siderable increase over the same period in 1921, but the shut- ting down of the Massachusetts Oil Refining Company, in July, considerably reduced our income for the last half of the year and compelled us to curtail manufacturing at our own station in order to fulfill our contract obligations with the Weymouth Light & Power Company for quantity consumption. This condition is unavoidable because of the fact that our peak load during four months of the year calls for almost the maximum possible output from our own plant and their source of sup- ply, and purchasing power under other class of contract than that of minimum monthly quantity, would make the cost price prohibitive. We have found during the past two years that our outside source of supply is very unsatisfactory and unre- liable as evidenced by the many interruptions of service when most needed, and was especially emphasized during the recent Christmas holidays, when we were left for some time depend- ent only on our own plant to furnish entire service to the com- munity during the heavy load season of the year.
I would suggest to you that the generating capacity of our plant should be increased by the addition of a 2000 kilo- watt turbine and another boiler which would give this plant a generating range in excess of 3000 kilowatts or about 1500 kilowatts reserve capacity for future requirements, and result in a 15% reduction in manufacturing costs and a much im- proved service. I might state here that our new installation of 1921, including boilers, pumps, piping and switchboard, was designed for the subsequent addition as above outlined and the new units could be purchased and installed for $60,000.00 at present prices.
This project would require a loan of $50,000.00, which
175
could be retired in five years from earnings without affecting whatever our regular annual expenditures for other sections of the plant.
During the coming year we intend to construct an en- tirely new line from West Street on Washington Street to the Holbrook Line, thereby insuring the Norfolk County Hospital and our customers living in adjacent territory practically un- interrupted service, which they have not had heretofore. We also intend to change over our street lighting units in the squares at Braintree and South Braintree so that more effi- cient service may be realized.
During the past year the maintenance on street lighting has been unusually heavy, due to the promiscuous destruction of lamps and fixtures by an element that might well be appre- hended by the Police Department.
Two hundred and nineteen new services were connected during the year, making a total of 2666. Twenty-five of this number are inactive but not disconnected.
