WATER AND LIGHT COMMISSIONERS' REPORT


MANAGERS REPORT WATER DEPARTMENT


In connection with the rebuilding of the State High- way from High street Bridge to the Power Plant on High street the Department dug up the joints in the 12 inch water main for a distance of about a mile and recaulked approximately 500 joints before the road was constructed thus stopping chances of leaks which had been occuring each year. Most of this work was done with unemploy- ment labor and paid for by the Department.


As the report shows the main water pipes were ex- tended on the following streets, Broadway Extension, Burley Avenue, Newmarch street and Grant Court, and most of this labor was supplied by the Unemployment Committee and paid for by the Department.


In connection with the Federal C. W. A. the water main was extended from Argilla Road to a point 3200 feet on Heartbreak Road, the Department furnishing the materials at an approximate cost of $2,000.00 and the labor at a cost of approximately $2,400.00 was furnished by the C.W.A.


Twenty five men were employed in cutting brush and dead tree growth around the water storage basins for a period of five weeks by the C.W.A. I would recommend that if any further funds are available through the C.W. A. that the Department enlarge the water main from Glover's corner on East street to the Lombard Farm on East street a distance of approximately 4500 feet. The present main is now 4 inch for part of the distance and 6 inch the remainder. This will be inadequate in the near future to properly supply the section beyond Glover's corner including the Summer colonies at Great Neck and Little Neck. This pipe should be at least 8 inches in diameter.

WATER AND LIGHT COMMISSIONERS' REPORT


During the past year there was an increase in the Kilowatt output of 155,426 over 1932. There was two causes for this increase, first the addition of the two shoe shops in the Ipswich Mills buildings and second the in- creased use of electricity by all consumers and the chief reason for this was the lower rates.


On May 1, 1933 the rates were reduced for all class- es of consumers and for Domestic use the customer had the option of either the one or two meter method of metering. Effective December 1, 1933 the rates were again lowered for the Domestic consumer and this class was put on the single meter system with the sliding scale rate. With the discount of 10% for prompt payment the consumers of electricity in Ipswich enjoy rates lower than the average Plant in the State.


During the past year the work consisted mainly of rebuilding existing lines on High street, Topsfield road, and Essex road in conjunction with the New England Tel. & Tel. Co. One of the most serious problems in connec- tin with the maintenance of the electric service is the trees. On nearly all of the lines the wires have to pass through or under tree limbs and during storms very often tree branches break off and either break the wires or cause short circuits and the service is interrupted until a repair can be made.


I would recommend :


That the sum of $10,000 be appropriated for Street Lighting for the year 1934 in compli- ance with the State Law.


That any unexpended balance in the Depart- ment be appropriated for the use of the Dept.

WATER AND LIGHT COMMISSIONERS' REPORT


COMMISSIONERS REPORT Water Department


As shown by the list of expenditures and the report of the Manager much work was done the past year in extending the main pipe lines and other work that would give employment to those citizens of the Town who were out of work the past twelve months. This not only gave the much needed employment but it also helped to im- prove the water system as a whole. The Town of Ipswich has been affected by the extreme cold weather the past winter and the water services have suffered by being froz- en more than for a great many years. During one period nearly 100 meters were frozen in different cellars caus- ing loss of water service and expense not only to the in- dividual but to the Water Department. It is the duty of each owner of property to protect not only his own water piping but the water meters and thereby save expense and inconvenience by being without water.


We recommend that the sum of $23,911.25 as esti- mated by the report of the Manager be appropriated to be paid out of the revenues for the year 1934.


We recommend that any unexpended balances in the department be appropriated for the use of the de- partment.


Electric Department


Reduction in rates and the addition of various in- dustries has caused the yearly output to grow about 10%. Due to this steady increase we find it necessary to make changes in engine equipment which would provide ade- quate capacity to care for this increased output. We therefore recommend exchanging the two small engines for two of a larger size.


CHARLES A. MALLARD, JAMES E. COLE, BENJAMIN H. DAVIS, Water and Light Commissioners.
