REPORT OF THE MUNICIPAL LIGHT PLANT FOR 191.1


To the Voters of the Town of Middleboro :-


We are pleased to submit the following report, showing as it does, a marked improvement in the earnings of the Electric Plant.


Now that the Gas Plant has been rebuilt and that we have a modern up to date gas plant, we hope to make a much better showing on that side of the account the coming year. But to get the best results will require the extension of our gas mains.


One of the improvements the past year is the installation of all night service lighting on Station Street to accommodate the patrons of the midnight train.


The substitution of several incandescent street lights in place of one arc light has been tried in one or two cases and proved very satisfactory with a saving in cost to operate and maintain.


This policy may be further carried out.


Respectfully submitted,


HENRY W. SEARS, LYMAN P. THOMAS, W. H. F. PETTEE.

Municipal Light Board,


Town of Middleboro.


110


REPORT OF THE MANAGER OF THE MUNICIPAL LIGHT PLANT FOR 1911.


Messrs. Henry W. Sears, Chairman,


Wilkes H. F. Pettee and Lyman P. Thomas,


Municipal Light Board, Town of Middleboro.


Gentlemen :- I have the honor to present herewith the eighteenth annual report of the Municipal Light Plant for the year ending December 31, 1911.


This year, as in past years, the Electric and Gas depart- ments will be treated separately.


The apparatus at the electric plant is in good condition, and the fact of there being no interruption of service during the year, is evidence that the new 150 K.W. generator installed was a move in the right direction, in the efforts to give satis- factory service for power.


The gas engines and gas producers continue to give satis- factory results both as to economy and reliability.


The water wheels are steadily decreasing in efficiency owing to the wear and corrosion, (some of the buckets all gone) and the time is near when in order to get any results whatever. from our water power, it will be necessary to replace the wheels proper with a make other than those now installed, as the company making these wheels went out of existence some years ago, and it is now impossible to get even repair parts.


The steady increase in customers and demand for current, demonstrate that the public are each year realizing the in- creased benefits derived from using electricity for light and heating appliances, but more particularly from the use of electricity for power purposes.


The increase in customers in 1911 was 83, while in 1910 the increase was only 39.


In 1911 the electric sales increased $3,317.53 over 1910, while those of 1910 over 1909 increased $2,332.60, or in other words, the increase in sales in 1911 was 30 per cent greater than the increase in 1910 over 1909, which was an increase of 11 per cent over the previous year.


111


Much time and money has been expended this last year in the repairs of lines and wires to get them in the best possible condition, which has proved beneficial from the fact that we have not had a wire down caused by storms, except on the No. Middleboro circuit, and not a report of a tree burning for six months, which is a good showing when the large number of trees through which our lines run is considered.


One arc lamp has been removed and replaced by one incandescent of 200 C. P. and one of 80 C. P.


One arc has been removed and five incandescents substi- tuted, in both cases giving better satisfaction than the arc lights.


In addition to these, twelve other incandescent lights of 32 C. P. have been installed upon petition to, and recommend- ation of the selectmen.


Forty Kilo-watt (800 lights) capacity of transformers were added to lines.


Seventy-two new electric meters were purchased and in- stalled.


To again show that the electric department is a paying proposition, would state that the income from private con- sumers, plus the $4,950.00 which was that part of the depreci- ation appropriation considered as value of street lights to town and should be considered as earnings of the plant, (inasmuch as, the cost of operating street lights was included in the expense side of manufacturing account) is $2,980.39 more than the operating expense at station, depreciation on 4 per cent basis, and interest on both gas and electric department, and com- missioners' salaries. Or, to assign to the electric department its proportionate part, the electric plant has earned the oper- ating expenses, interest on outstanding Notes and Bonds, depreciation at 4 per cent basis, commissioners' salaries, and have a balance of $4,345.65.


Last year an extra one percent was added to the depre- ciation fund for the purpose of extending the lines to Rock village, provided however, enough takers could be secured to warrant the outlay, fifteen takers being the minimum agreed upon at that time between Barden Hill and the end of the line at the Rock.


At that time considerable interest was manifested at the Rock.


Upon being requested by personal solicitation or by mail to sign and return a printed form agreeing to become a con- sumer of electricity for either -light or power, only one at


112


the Rock and three between Barden Hill and the Rock signed the form as requested.


It is the universal practise of all Public Service corporations to demand a signed application for a customers service, for either water, gas or electricity, therefore, the manager felt justified in requesting a written agreement as noted above.


As it meant the expenditure of $1,500.00, or more and for the expenditure of that amount as a business proposition, and in justice to the plant and the tax payers it was thought advisable to have something more tangible than a verbal "I guess I will take it"', or "I may take it later on" as an inducement to extend the lines to the Rock.


Gas :- The town now has what it never had before, which is, a modern gas plant with facilities for a 24 hour reserve supply of gas. The gas making apparatus installed by the Peirce Trustees is the latest product of the Western Gas Construction Co. of Fort Wayne, Indiana, and has a rated capacity of 124,000 cubic feet of carburetted water gas per day of 24 hours, and the other appliances are modern and thoroughly up to date.


The new 50,000 ft. holder built by the Davis and Farnum Co. of Waltham gives ample capacity for future growth, besides being so constructed that any time in the future another lift may be added, making the capacity 100,000 cubic feet. The old purifying boxes used with the old method were retained and are being used with the present process, together with the old 10,000 ft. holder which is now used as a relief holder into which the gas goes as soon as made, and from there drawn out and forced through the purifying boxes.


The 3,200 feet of new eight inch main laid on Centre St. from the gas house to the intersection of Center and Main Sts. afford a distributing main of ample capacity, so that after the laying of mains on the streets leading off Centre, the plant will then be in condition to make the Balance to Profit and Loss show on the opposite side of the ledger from what it has in years past.


Applications for service for gas ranges have commenced to come in, but mostly from those where no gas main is laid.


A canvass having been made the past few weeks to ascer- tain who would become consumers of gas for ranges, that such streets showing the largest number of takers might be selected for immediate new mains, shows that about 70 per cent of those seen, express a desire to be given gas service


113


either for ranges or other gas consuming devices. Could enough mains be laid this coming spring, there would be no ยท trouble in placing one hundred gas ranges and other devices.


The present price of gas which went into effect January 1st, 1912, namely $1.75 to $1.40 per M. brings the price where it can be used for cooking purposes by all, and compares favorably with towns of like size.


Believing that the sooner new mains are laid, the quicker the gas plant will begin to make a better showing, for the greater the consumption, the less it costs per thousand to man- ufacture, would recommend making the depreciation asked for 4 per cent, to enable the plant to devote a larger portion to new mains than could otherwise be done without overdrawing on that account.


Again I wish to take this opportunity of expressing to the Board my sincere thanks for the assistance given me and advice in the management of the affairs of the plant.


Also at this time to publicly acknowledge the courtesy extended to me by the Committee which had in charge the installing of the new gas plant and to thank them for accepting the few ideas advanced by me and the expression of confidence in my judgment in the matter.


Following is a detailed report pertaining to the finances of the Plant.
