WATER COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.
MANAGERS REPORT
I would recommend the Town appropriate $11,109.00 for street lights, the same amount per lamp as last year. From this amount will be charged interest, note, and depreciation, the balance be charged to manufacturing account.
The following tables show the increased number of ser- vices and also the amount of sales for the last five years.

WATER COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.
I desire to call your attention to the number of new ser- vices installed the last year, being 120.
We have made a substantial gain in our power load, which I believe we can care for as the load comes in the day time.
Should the demand for new services continue as in the past year I believe some thought should be given to enlarg- ing our generating plant, or some other source of supply.
It is plain therefor, that should anything happen to our large unit we would be unable to care for the demand re- quired.
ARTHUR H. WALTON, Manager.

WATER COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
COMMISSIONERS REPORT
To the Citizens of Ipswich :
The Municipal Water and Light Commissioners submit their annual report for the year ending December 31, 1921. Water Department
The expenditures for the year 1922 are estimated as follows :
For Interest payment
$7,659.00
For General expenses 9,000.00
For Hydrant service 2,237.50
For Sinking Fund
5,318.15
$24,214.65
The board recommends the amount for hydrant services be raised and appropriated from the tax levy, the balance be taken from the earnings of the Water Department.
ELECTRIC LIGHT DEPARTMENT
We recommend the town raise and appropriate for street lights the same as last year namely, 782 40 watt lamps at $12.00 $9,384.00
23 250 watt lamps at $75.00 1,725.00
$11,109.00
From this amount will be charged Interest $2268.00 Notes $4550.00 and depreciation $2805.00.
We would recommend no appropriation be made to Electric Light Department for Town Buildings as the va- rious departments include in their budgets recommenda- tions for the same.

WATER COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.
We have used every means to increase our day power load, which this last year has been nearly doubled. Although the installing cost has been paid in one year, the revenue de- rived in the coming years will make it a very profitable in- vestment.
With our connected load at the present time and the : general increase in demand we wish to call your attention to the fact that if we should have trouble at our generating station causing us to shut down our large unit we would be in no position to care for our present load.
Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR H. WALTON, WALTER G. BROWN, CHARLES A. MALLARD, Water and Light Commissioners.
February 1, 1922.
