Installation of street lights in Braintree Square, and also those at the Junction of Liberty and Commer- cial Streets have been held up by our inability to ob- tain material, but all 1926 applications will be installed before March 1, 1927. New Lights totaling 14,390 watts have been distributed over thirty four streets, making a total of 1264.

In reference to the propaganda recently given much publicity in the Boston papers and also in some of the local sheets relative to excessive lighting rates at this plant, we wish to state that it has always been the policy of the Municipal Lighting Board to give Service without partiality at the lowest possible cost, and as the business has grown in volume producing a material increase in Surplus it has been given back to the citizens in reduced rates, and as time goes by this policy will undoubtedly be continued and eventually in the near future it will result in Braintree Citizens having as cheap lighting rates as any other town in the state.
