Requests for power lines have also been received from the Shopping Center and several discussions on their power requirements and the many problems involved in serving such an installation have been held. This project is still in the planning stage and rapid developments are expected during the coming year. Anticipated power requirements indicate a starting value of 3500 KVA with an ultimate peak load of 5500 KVA.
The rapidly increasing tempo of business in the Town forces the early and speedy development of our new gen- erating plant. This plant has been appropriately named by you "The Norton P. Potter Station" thus honoring one of our outstanding citizens and Commissioners, Mr. Norton P. Potter.
Land areas have been acquired and exploratory bor- ings are now in progress at this site. Information received from these borings will serve to step up our planning and engineering so that we will have the new station in opera- tion sometime during November, 1959.
Contracts for the turbine-generator and boiler units have been agreed on and specifications for other apparatus are now being prepared.
Bond issue of $5,000.000.00 approved at the Special Town Meeting held in 1957. is now ready and will be recommended to be placed on the market at the most effec- tive time to efficiently meet our financial obligations on plant and line expansions outlined above.
During 1957 our main office received considerable at- tention. Planning for a more efficient and effective work flow has been worked out and installed. This necessitated
151
a complete renovation of heating, lighting with air con- ditioning facilities. Billing procedures have also been subjected to much attention. A new customer account numbering system has been placed in service with meter reader's books replacing the previous card system. Dis- count procedure has been changed to a more accurate and effective system and collections of delinquent accounts made more effective. Much still remains to be accom- plished in office procedures but further changes will be more gradual.

I wish to express my appreciation to the Board of Com- missioners for their deep interest and untiring efforts in obtaining in our new plant an up to date efficient unit as well as for their understanding and co-operation in main- taining our present equipment in top condition.
I wish also to express to the Town Meeting Members my deep appreciation for their support and approval of this Department by voting a large bond issue for expansion of our generation and transmission facilities. These new facilities will be urgently needed, as this report indicates, in the very near future and will become an enviable posses- sion of civic pride rendering efficient and inexpensive electric service to the Town and its owners, the citizens of Braintree.
I wish also to thank the employees of this Department and all Town Department heads and employees for their spirit of co-operation during the past year.

Board of Assessors
Arthur E. Boynton, Chairman
Reginald P. Fitzgerald, Clerk Chester W. Nelson
In accordance with the By-Laws of the Town, we are pleased to submit our annual report for the year ending December 31, 1957.
Real Esate still bears the burden of local taxation. It is the responsibility of the Assessors to assess all property and polls for tax purposes to raise the funds needed for the operation of the Town services. Chapter 59 of the General Laws states that Real Estate shall be assessed at its "full and fair cash value; also personal property ; distribution, system of Public Utilities; prepare warrants for motor vehicle and trailer excise ; warrants for sewer, street better- ments etc.
The tax rate is fixed on the basis of raising funds ap- propriated to cover the Town budgets and certain County and State Assessments.
The constant growth of the Town and demand for services presents a most difficult task for this Department to keep up with the ever increasing workload. Your board desires at all times to service our citizens in a fair and im- partial manner. Our office staff still striving to keep up with the constant increase of work with the same equip- ment and personnel are reaching the point where some definite changes will have to be made to augment their efforts.
Residential building is still active and with the new highway program now under construction, our industrial and mercantile development will be a great factor in help- ing to make a more favorable situation for the home owner. It is the responsibility of all to co-operate in every way to encourage this new facet of development in our Town.
The need for other types of revenue to help take the load off the home owner is more apparent every day, as is also the need for constructive planning to assure the best in our future development. The Walworth Plant is progressing rapidly and other major activities such as the Shopping Center will soon be under construction.
Thanks and appreciation go to our office staff and all other Town departments for their help and co-operation.

THOMAS C. CURRIER WILLIAM K. STEWART JOHN W. MURPHY GEORGE T. WOODSUM
The Braintree Airport Commission reports the com- pletion of eleven years of active service and ten years of operation of the Braintree Airport.
The Airport is located near Great Pond, off Route 128, on Town-owned property of the Braintree Water De- partment. The runway is 2500 feet in length and is 85 feet wide. The major part of the runway was constructed through the efforts of members of the Braintree Airport Association, whose membership is open to Braintree resi- dents interested in flying.
The flying area is registered as a Private Landing Field and is under the jurisdiction of the Massachusetts Aeronautic Commission at latitude 40°-12'-20" and longi- tude 72°-02'-25".
The Airport Commission reports that the field has operated for ten consecutive years without a casualty or serious mishap.
All persons using the Braintree Airport are required to communicate with the Airport Commission and register their planes before using the facilities of the Town Air- port. You are invited to join the Braintree Airport Asso- ciation.
