Manager.
Mr. George A. Philbrook, General Manager and Superintendent Middleboro Gas and Electric Plant, Middleboro, Mass. Dear Sir:
In accordance with your request I have made an examination of your gas and electric plant in order to ascertain what would be the most feasible proposition for you should it be decided to reconstruct the gas plant along modern lines.
In approaching this subject all the factors bearing on it had to be considered, among the most important of which are :
1. Source and cost of fuel supply at all times and seasons.
2. Flexibility of plant to meet all load conditions, not only in your illuminating gas manufacture, but also in the pro- duction of electrical current.
3. Most efficient plant at all loads.
4. Type of plant requiring least labor.
5. If possible, to secure a plant which would produce gas for your engines, and also illuminating gas from the same apparatus.
To meet the first case bituminous coal is much more plentiful than any other fuel and is not subject to arbitrary price setting as is the case with anthracite coal. The output of an over- whelming percentage of the latter mines being controlled by a group of operators who have a close working agreement, no com- petition is possible, as is the case with bituminous coal. It was therefore preferable to decide upon some style of soft coal appara- tus if obtainable.
This point and the others can be met readily by what is known as the Loomis-Pettibone system of gas production, in which both producer gas for the engines and water gas for illuminating gas can be produced. All that is necessary to give the water gas the illu- minating quality is to enrich it with a few gallons of oil.
That this system of manufacturing illuminating gas is feasible and practicable is demonstrated by the fact that a plant of this
111
description is in daily operation in Brooklyn, where 6,000,000 cubic feet are produced per day.
By this system of gas manufacturing the ratio of production of engine gas and illuminating gas can be changed at will ranging from about 24 feet of producer gas to one foot of illuminating gas or to 20, 30, 40, 50 or more cubic feet of the former to one of the latter, if desired, without any appreciable alteration in the effici- ency of the plant.
Naturally, if you can manufacture illuminating gas considerably cheaper than you are now doing, and consequently sell it at a price on a par or lower than is the case with cities of about equal popu- lation, the demand for your product will increase rapidly so that more gas will be made with a proportionate reduction in the cost of manufacture. This is best illustrated by the comparative state- ment made a little further on showing the cost of gas in the holder where, in the first case, the amount generated is 10,000 cubic feet a day and in the second 35,000 cubic feet per day. By being able to sell the gas at a reasonable figure, say $1.30 per thousand, to start with, a reduction of price could be made as your output increased, resulting in a constantly increasing demand for all descriptions of cooking and heating appliances.
The price of material and labor used for calculating the cost of gas are as follows :
Bituminous Coal Oil Labor
$5 50 per gross ton. 05 per gallon. 2 75 per day of 12 hours.
The illuminating gas has only been charged with the extra labor and fuel entailed in producing it, the power plant being charged with that portion used in producing the power gas. The interest and depreciation has also been calculated on the portion of the plant used in the manufacture of illuminating gas, which is practically the only equitable way to arrive at the true cost of production.
It must be remembered that of every 1000 cubic feet of illumi- nating gas about 23.4 per cent. would be oil gas and 76.6 of water gas.
The following table indicates as above stated the comparison between the manufacture of 10,000 and 35,000 cubic feet per day.
10.000 cu. ft. Ill. Gas per day.
35,000 cu. ft. Ill. Gas per day. 383 lbs. bitum. coal, at 1340 lbs. bitum. coal $3 28 $5.50 per ton $ 94 45 gals. oil at 5c. per gal. 2 25

Interest charge slightly greater due to a larger proportion of the gas plant being devoted to the production of illuminating gas.
By the above you can readily see that it is to the interest of the community at large to use as much gas as possible, as every- body will benefit in direct proportion as the output increases.
In order to arrive at the necessary apparatus for producing not only the engine gas but illuminating gas as well, the writer has carefully estimated the cost of the various parts which enter into the construction of the plant. Generally these consist of the following :
One Loomis-Pettibone 6 feet by 13 feet generator plant com- plete including economizing boiler, wet scrubber, dry scrubber, exhauster, fire brick lining, valves, pipe and fittings.
One twenty-five thousand cubic foot holder as the main supply for the Town.
One five thousand cubic foot producer gas holder for engine gas.
One two thousand cubic foot holder to be used for a relief holder for the water gas before it is carburetted.
Two sets of benches of 4's including cast iron works and stack.
One exhauster for taking gas through the condenser and scrubber and forcing it through the purifiers to the main distributing holder.
One scrubber for illuminating gas.
All gas mains, valves and fittings around the plant, including small water piping, etc.
Moving condenser, purifiers and meter from present location to new site.
All freight and erection charges.
Total cost of the above at Middleboro
$28,539 00
Alterations and additions to generator house.
New retort house.
New purifier house.
Foundations for holders and apparatus.
Total cost of the above at Middleboro 7,150 00
Total cost of alterations and additions $35,689 00
113
The above estimates are intended to cover a modern, up-to-date gas plant having the following advantages :
1. Ample capacity for future growth.
2. High economy even at present output.
3. All gas produced from one grade of fuel, and that the cheapest available.
4. New apparatus would work in perfect harmony with your present producers.
5. The producer gas manufactured by this apparatus would work equally well on your engines as demonstrated by thousands of horse-power in daily continuous use.
I omitted to state above that a fair estimate for collection charges would be about 30 cents per thousand cubic feet of gas.
The above report covers the principal features of the investiga- tions I have made so far of your plants, and, as you will see, relates practically in its entirety to the illuminating gas end of your proposition. If there are any furthur points on which you desire information do not hesitate to communicate with us.
Yours very truly,
LOOMIS-PETTIBONE COMPANY. H. A. KIMBER, Engineers.

THIRTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
Trustees of the Public Library
For the year 1907.
The annual report of the Trustees for the year 1907, is here- with respectfully submitted. At the annual Town meeting, Mr. Walter Sampson was chosen as a trustee to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. John C. Sullivan.
Miss Alice M. Alden was elected as Librarian at the annual meeting of the Trustees. Misses Florence A. Robinson, Marion K. Tillson and Mary M. Eddy have served with her as assistants. It gives us pleasure to commend the fidelity with which the en- tire staff has served the interests of the Library.
Several bills incurred in the work of 1907 were not rendered in season to be included in this report, leaving the balance of cash on hand somewhat larger than it would otherwise be.
It is hoped that all of our people may make themselves acquainted with their Library and with the effort that is made to conserve the interests of all classes.
The report of the Librarian and the Treasurer, and a list of Periodicals on the reading tables are also presented herewith.
REPORT OF LIBRARIAN.
To the Trustees :
I herewith present the thirty-fourth annual report of the Mid- dleboro Public Library.
At the beginning of the year an inventory was taken and mis- sing books replaced as far as possible. The Library has been open daily for the delivery of books, excepting legal holidays and Sundays, from 2 to 9 p. m. Reading room is open Sundays from 2 to 7 p. m.
During the year there have been many visitors, especially during the summer months, many of whom were strangers in town.
116
LIBRARY ART CLUB EXHIBITS.
Membership in the Library Art Club has been continued and pictures have been placed in the Art Gallery, changing about once in three weeks. Many of these were very instructive and interesting.
Among the subjects were the following :
Florence. American parks. China.
Plymouth views. Ireland.
England lake district.
Milton, Framingham and Lancaster. Famous pictures No. 2.
Accessions.
There have been registered in the accession book 1,055 vol- umes, of which 932 volumes were purchased, 63 volumes by binding of magazines and 60 volumes by gift. It has been necessary to replace 34 books, most of which were in the Young . People's Room. Many more are in bad condition, owing to much use. The Library now contains 16,003 volumes.
The following are gifts received during the year
History of Bristol County, by Hurd. From Mr. Geo. Brayton. Princely men of the Heavenly Kingdom, by Beach.

CIRCULATION.
The circulation of books for home reading for 1907 was 44,994 volumes : 35,949 fiction, 9,045 non-fiction. Of these 13,875 were from the Young People's Room : fiction, 8,723; non fiction, 5,152. Average daily circulation, 147. The largest circulation for one day was on February 23, 363 books; the smallest, February 5, when 32 books were given out. Two books have been reported lost, one damaged, and paid for by the borrowers.
REGISTRATION.
Three hundred and eighty-three applications have been made for cards. Of this number 107 were young people under fifteen years of age. Total registration Dec. 31, 1907, 2,663.
REFERENCE AND READING ROOM.
This room is open during Library hours, also on Sundays from 2 to 7 P. M. It has been well patronized the past year. The librarian and assistants are always glad to help anyone looking up special topics. Some of the reference books added this year are an Encyclopedia of Architecture, Carpentry and Building, 10 volumes ; Encyclopedia of Missions, 3 volumes, and Statesman's Year Book, 1907.
The Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature (a monthly) is placed with Poole's index. This gives the articles in the monthly magazines arranged by subjects. A new periodical, What's in the Magazines, is to be added this year. Other new magazines are Manual Training, Musician, New Thought Magazine, Textile Record, Boot and Shoe Recorder.
Total number of magazines, 93. Daily papers, 8. Weekly papers, 6. Religious weeklies, 7.
CHILDREN'S ROOM.
The year in this room has been a successful one. Two hun- dred and fourteen new books have been added, many of them for
118
school use. Reading lists for the holidays celebrated in the schools have peen posted for the use of teachers and scholars, and displays of pictures, suited as far as possible to the season, have been placed on the bulletin board. Two special reading lists have been prepared, one on Sea Stories and the other Stories of School Life. The teachers are not limited in the number of books taken for school use, and it is hoped more of them will use this room.
A gift of the remaining volumes of St. Nicholas necessary to complete the set, as well as several volumes of Our Young Folks, has been much appreciated by the children.
Binding.
Two hundred and ninety-six volumes have been rebound besides 63 volumes of the magazines of 1906. Besides these many books have been repaired at the Library. Sixty-eight volumes are still at the binder's.
