AUDITOR'S REPORT.
I have carefully examined the accounts of the various depart- ments and committees of the town having the disbursement of money.
In some of them, as in past years, I do not find bills or vouch- ers on file for all payments. I am pleased to note that April 1, 1907 the Overseers of the Poor adopted a new system as recom- mended by me in previous years, making all payments by order on the Town Treasurer. I recommend at this time that all re- ceipts for the benefit of our Public Library be paid into the Town Treasury and that all bills on library account be paid by order upon the Town Treasurer.
In the examination of the books of the Treasurer I note that the payment of a $5000 temporary schoolhouse loan, to be paid out of bond issue, was paid out of town money and entered on debit side of temporary loan account .. This was afterwards repaid to town but no credit entry was made on temporary loan account, with the result that our temporary loan outstanding today, ac- cording to ledger account, is $12,500, while it actually is $17,- 500, and is the largest outstanding temporary loan that the town has ever had at the close of its fiscal year. The uncollected taxes were $24,686.29.
In 1900 our temporary loan was $3,300, uncollected taxes $19,448

It is well to look at these figures in their true bearing in the finances of the town and the outlook for the town if the present method continues.
I have audited the books and securities of the "Pierce Estate " and find them in good condition. The trustees have this year paid out $23,600, for the benefit of the town.
I append the financial statement of the town, also a table of indebtedness.

REPORT OF MUNICIPAL LIGHTING PLANT.
Messrs. Henry. W. Sears, Chairman,
Thomas S. Hodgson and Wilkes H. F. Pettee, Municipal Light Board, Town of Middleboro.
GENTLEMEN :- I have the honor of presenting the fourteenth annual report of the manager of the Municipal Light Plant for the year ending December 31, 1907.
As it is only by comparison that the increase or decrease, or in some cases hereafter given the true value of the progress made may be obtained, the manager will in a large measure use that method to demonstrate that the electric plant is attaining that point where it will be self-sustaining, and help to prove that under some conditions that municipal ownership is a success.
Upon comparing the accounts and books of the plant with those of the Town Treasurer they all agree excepting the Bridge Account, and that stands the same as last year and for the same reason.
The increase in electric customers over 1906, namely 55, shows that the people of Middleboro are availing themselves of the opportunity afforded for a cheap and convenient way of lighting their homes, as the greater per cent. of the increased customers were for domestic lighting.
The bills payable January 1, 1907, were $1,015.61 more than January 1, 1906, because at that time only those on file January 1st were taken into consideration, but this year all bills for mate- rial or supplies received prior to January 1st were taken.
On the other hand to offset this the amount in the Town Treasury and office available this year was $517.22 against $25.95 last year and the bills receivable of $5,761.08 against $4,013.89 last year.
In the amount of bills receivable above mentioned is not included $859.32 which was expended, as per vouchers on file, for labor, freight, and Sundries required in erecting or equipping the the new apparatus for the Committee on Electric Light Improve- ments which was paid out of the income account but in the com- mencement expected it would be refunded.
Some of the old type of transformers were replaced by more efficient ones purchased out of the Depreciation Fund, but owing to the number of new customers taken on, some of them not being where they could be connected to the new ones. installed, was obliged to use some of those discarded.
95
One factor which enters into the showing made by the plant. for the year 1907, and which should not be entirely forgotten, is the matter of discounts.
The new scale has affected the income since December 1906.
Discounts allowed on Gas in 1906 $143 47
Discounts allowed on electric 1906 487 14
Total $630 61
Discounts allowed on gas in 1907 182 16
Discounts allowed on electric 1907 1,280 27
Total $1,462 43:
A difference of $831.82 which the consumers have received the benefit of.
Profit on electric plant as shown by Manufacturing Account.
$3,989 61
Loss on gas plant as shown by the Manufacturing Account
$1,239 48;
One other item that if credited on the income side of the Manufacturing Account, but is not, but should be to give the true showing of the electric plant, is the matter of street lighting.
In the operating expense of the electric plant is included the. entire cost of operating and maintaining twelve all night arcs and one 25 candle power incandescent, and fourteen 12 o'clock arcs. and one hundred and seventy-two 25 candle power incandescent. which if paid for would be as follows :
12 all night arcs at $100 00 each $1,200 00
1 all night incandescent at $25 00 25 00
14 midnight arcs at $70 00 each 980 00
172 incandescent at $16 00 each 2,752 00
$4,957 00,
Should this show on the credit side of the sheet, the balance to profit and loss for a profit would be sufficient to pay the pres- ent interest bond, and within one hundred dollars of the amount. appropriated for the depreciation at a 3% basis.
The price used for the street light cost was taken from the. State Commissioners report which are :

The only available way to define the results obtained by the gas engine plant is to compare the sales and fuel consumption of the last six months of 1906 which was operated by steam, by the sales and fuel consumption of the corresponding period of 1907 operated by gas engines.
The gas engines started for the first time May 19, 1907.

So when the 26% increase in sales, the decrease in fuel con- sumption to the amount of $289.13 for the same period, also bearing in mind that the water supply during July, August, September and the early part of October was the smallest in 12 years, and, taking into consideration that during the time of operating the gas engine plant, four new men had to educate themselves to operate the gas producers, which in so doing could not run them most efficiently, (only one had a skilled operator to instruct him) also the poor coal used at the beginning, notwith- standing these unfavorable conditions to contend with, the gas

engine plant has proved a success and will continue to show a good return for the money invested.
Taking the plant as a whole, the decrease of $682.85 in operat- ing expenses electric plant and the increase of $2,914.62 in elec- tric sales, and many of the unfavorable conditions eliminated, the electric plant in the ensuing year bids fair to make a showing even better than anticipated by those who have been favorable to the gas engines.
But not until the plant gets the credit due to it for the street light can a proper or true financial showing be made.
During the year there has been added 147 electric and 15 new gas meters. The station run 4,686 3-4 hours.
During the year three new circuits bave added for the com- mercial and domestic lighting. One from the station to Clifford street, one from the station to Union street and one from the station to Oak street, which added to the two already installed gives a better chance to balance the load on the generators, besides reduces in a large measure the number of services that will be out in case of short circuits or other accidents to the lines.
Concerning the Gas Plant.
The only thing that can be said in its favor is that the candle power of the gas furnished is considerably above the minimum allowed by the state and so far has been able to make gas every day.
In consequence of the agitation for a cheaper gas for Middle- boro, thought it would be for the best interest of the town to em- ploy an expert gas engineer so as to get the advice of one com- petent to judge the requirements of the town, so that any recommendations that I might make to you, or you to the voters, would be made with the knowledge that comes from experience.
This report I beg to submit to you in full, also a few facts and figures found in looking into this matter, some of which are taken from the, report of the State Board of Gas & Electric Commissioners.
In 1896 there were nine oil gas plants in the State as follows : - Amherst, Chicopee Falls, Gardner, Ipswich, Leominster, Lexing- ton, Southbridge, Stoughton and Williamstown.
At the present time there are but three of the above mentioned plants still making an oil gas, which are Amherst, Lexington, and Stoughton, these three and Middleboro are the only oil gas plants at the present time in the State, whereas there are sixty coal and water gas and twelve acetylene gas plants.
98
In the returns made by the three other oil gas plants, which by the way, are not municipal plants but operated under private ownership, the price received per M sold in 1905-1906 was Amherst $4.09, Lexington, $3.85 and Stoughton $4.77.
According to the profit and loss sheet as shown by these com- panies, Amherst lost $209.59, Lexington lost $564.93 and Stough- ton's profit was $356.85, which might be attributed to the fact of their receiving so much larger price per M than the other two and which was more than $2.00 per M than Middleboro received.
To further illustrate the benefit Middleboro might derive by adopting a modern method of manufacturing gas, the six com- panies who formerly made oil gas, seeing the error of their ways, are now making a coal or coal and water gas and the profit and loss sheets of these companies made in the same returns to the State as the three present oil gas companies all show a profit as follows:
Chicopee, $10,292.69; Gardner, $2,694.99; Ipswich, $2,886.49; Leominster $7,704.65, Southbridge $3,091.13, and Williamstown ' $2,268.93.
These figures are presented to you and through you to the voters of the town, to partially show the expediency of abandon- ing the present method and substituting one more modern and up to date.
After a careful investigation, taking into consideration the existing conditions, the method as proposed in the appended report of the gas engineer employed, appeals to me as the one best adapted to our needs and the one from which Middleboro will derive the greatest benefit.
I do not think the expenditure of any great amount on the present plant is warranted.
A noted gas man interested in the operation of one or more large gas plants, after viewing the premises and the process of manufacture now in vogue, made the remark that should he put a man worth to him $10,000 a year in to manage this plant he could not make it pay expenses.
I wish to here repeat what I have often said, that the town could make a plant pay if they would do as a private owner would.
A private owner seeing where a dollar expended would yield more than the dollar expended would expend that dollar.
The showing made at the electric plant for the last six months of 1907 bears ine out in the above statement.
The policy of the town in relation to the gas plant has been to see how little it could expend, as shown by the fact that since
99
January 1, 1900, a period of eight years, there has been expended (other than ordinary repairs, which comes out of the income) for the purpose of improving the gas machinery the sum of $36.03, an average of $4.50 a year.
One point I wish to emphasize is that when more power units are required at the electric plant, by installing a gas machine such as recommended 375 H. P. of gas can be furnished them from the same gas machine and at the same time the illuminating gas is being made.
In an interview with one of the Water Commissioners, was informed that the Board is now ready to continue the line of 12- inch water main on Wareham Street from the river to the Four Corners to take the place of the eight-inch main now in use.
Upon completing this change they will offer to the Town this eight-inch main already laid which could be utilized for a gas main, at a price much lower than new pipe could be bought and laid.
This is only one of the many advantages to be obtained by installing the new gas plant at the Wareham Street property.
Following is the data and financial standing and operation of the plant.
