In conclusion we desire to pay tribute to the memory of the late Chairman of this Committee, Elisha T. Jenks. Thor- oughly interested in the work from its beginning, with his large amount of practical knowledge, gained in his long busi- ness career, he proved a very valuable member. He had served in a similar capacity on other important Committees of the town and we can point with pride to his handiworks, which still remain.

REPORT OF THE MUNICIPAL LIGHT PLANT FOR 1912
To the voters of the Town of Middleboro: There were two changes in the personnel of the Municipal Light Board the last year.
Harlas L. Cushman succeeded Henry W. Sears, William A. Andrews was appointed by the joint Boards of Selectmen and the remaining members of the Municipal Light Plant to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Lyman P. Thomas.
The Board on April 16 voted to direct the Manager to adopt a new system for collections, to prevent as far as possible the accumulation of worthless bills and to reduce those due the plant.
$352.21 of long standing bills was charged off as uncollect- able.
A change in policy of purchasing fuel was adopted, bids for coal in car lots were asked, with the result of obtaining it at a much lower price and quality was up to the standard.
The two much needed water wheels have been installed at the Electric Light plant and are working very satisfactory, these will prove a money saver in the coal account.
The lighting system has been extended to the Rock accord- ing to the vote of the Town, also the street lights have been installed at the village. An inadequate provision, unfortun- ately, was made for both the extension and installing the street lights.
The extension of the system cost approximately $300.00 more than appropriated at the regular meeting owing to advance in price of material from the time estimate was made, until it was bought.
The installation of the street lights cost $700.00 more.
These amounts and the disputed bill of $363.98 with the Highway Department (removal of gas drip) by a former Commission, made serious inroads in the Depreciation account making a deficit of $5.76 and unpaid bills of $1,550. 97.
110
The new gas mains for which the Taunton award was appropriated was laid during the Summer, and the new method of coupling the joints has proven successful thus far as to leakage.
The first six months of the past year, the gas plant shows a loss of'$1,152.26 due to leakage and only a few customers.
The last six months shows comparatively a very small loss, $235.09, due to the stopping of leaks in new 8 inch main and also to a very much larger sale of gas to customers along the new gas pipe extensions.
We must bear in mind that there are certain unavoidable - fixed charges in making gas whether the quantity is large or small.
In our opinion another summer we can reduce the price of gas to $1.60 per thousand with the present mains, after a thorough solicitation for consumers has been made.
The Board believes it would be expedient to make a further extension of gas mains of about 12,000 feet, the cost would be approximately $5,000.00. By getting the work finished early in the season, and the gas into every house possible along the line, we will be able to reduce the price very materi- ally again.
Therefore, the Board advises that the Selectmen be in- structed to authorize the Town Treasurer to issue 4 per cent Bonds to the amount of $5,000.00 payable $1,000.00 yearly beginning in 1918: that the proceeds from sale of said bonds be used under the direction of the Municipal Light Com- missioners for the purpose of laying gas mains and services: that the said bonds be advertised for sale to the highest bidder therefor, the premium on same, if any, to be placed to the credit of the Municipal Light Plant to be used in the gas department at the discretion of the Municipal Light Com- mission.
The payment for said Bonds to be paid as they mature, and interest on said Bonds to be paid from the earnings of the Middleboro Gas and Electric Plant.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM A. ANDREWS, W. H. F. PETTEE, HARLAS L. CUSHMAN,
Municipal Light Board, Town of Middleboro.

REPORT OF THE MANAGER OF THE MUNICIPAL LIGHT PLANT FOR 1912.
Messrs. William A. Andrews, Chairman,
Wilkes H. F. Pettee and Harlas L. Cushman,
Municipal Light Board, Town of Middleboro.
Gentlemen :- I have the honor to present the nineteenth annual report of the Municipal Light Plant for the year ending December 31, 1912.
With the installation of the water wheels begun in Decem- ber the physical condition of the plant is good.
The wheels installed are what are known as the Hercules turbine, one being 36 inch and one 33 inch, made by the Holy- oke Machine Co., of Worcester. Under 10 foot head these wheels will deliver 157 horse power, using 10,485 cubic feet of water per minute.
The floors of both wheel pits were replanked with three inch hard pine planks, and the three walls of one were sheathed over as planking was old and leaked quite badly at the water line.
Front and side walls of both pits were strengthened and braced and shafting put in first class condition.
In the electric department there has been a steady in- crease of customers the gain in electric, and gas and electric being fifty, and for gas only, eleven. The electric sales of 1912 were $3,129.64 more than those of 1911, and the net increase for both gas and electric in 1912 over 1911 was $3,747.54.
The increase in electric expenses was only $604.54 while the increase in sales as above stated was $3,129.64, which is, that the expense increased only about three per cent and the sales a little over thirteen per cent. That the progressive- ness and earning value of the electric plant may be clearly shown as well as showing that it is yearly becoming a more val- uable asset of the Town, wish to present for comparison the annual profit as shown by the Manufacturing Account for
112
the past seven years. In 1906 the income from private con- sumers was $1,519.16 more than the total expenses.
1907
$3,989 61
1908 2,179 82
1909 2,793 42
1910 6,243 23
1911
6,675 49
1912
8,430 45
The income was from private consumers only, and included in the expenses each year was the cost of operating and main- taining the street lights. For the year just ended the net profit from the gas and electric plant was $7,043.10 against $4,956.05 for 1911.
Fifty eight new electric meters were bought and installed during the year and ninety gas meters, some of which re- placed those which were slow or had stopped registering.
In November the line for domestic and commercial lighting to Rock Village was completed and December 31st., had connected on this line 6 consumers at the Rock and 5 between Barden Hill and Rock.
In December work was begun to install street lights at Rock as follows:
1 Corner of Wareham and Cushman Streets.
18 on Miller Street.
5 on Highland Street.
3 on Walnut Street.
6 on Smith Street.
It was expected to complete this work before December 31st but owing to rainy weather and delay in receiving some of the appliances the lights were not turned on until the first part of the following month.
During the year there was laid 900 feet of 6 inch and 9,300 feet of 4 inch gas mains, and is what is known as Universal pipe.
It was laid by contract and each joint was tested before being covered and when covered every joint was gas tight.
From first observation of the gas manufacturing account there is not the improved results that was expected, although the loss in 1912 was $332.09 less than in 1911 it shows a ten- dency in the right direction as the loss in 1911 was $265.74 greater than that of 1910.
113
Had the favorable conditions prevailed during the entire year that existed the last four months of the year, expecta- tions would have been more than fulfilled, as the leaks in the new 8 inch main were not fully remedied until August.
But taking for convenience the two periods of six months for comparison find that 42 per cent of the gas was made the first six months and that only 12 per cent of the total in- crease in sales was in the first six months. That 58 per cent of the total gas made was made the last six months and that 88 per cent of increase in sales was in last six months which was $547.51 against $70.39 the first six months, together making an increase for the year of $617.90.
We feel safe in asserting that had the mains been as tight July 1st. as after September 1st., the gas plant would not have shown a deficit the last six months as the loss for this period was only $235.09 as against $1,152.26 the first six months, but we had leaky mains two months of the last six to contend with and it was this two months which caused the loss in manufacturing account for the last six, as the unac- counted for was 32 per cent of the amount made during this period and for the months of September and December the unaccounted for was 11 and 13 per cent respectively, and as the conditions were the same in October and November it is safe to assume that the unaccounted for could not be much in excess of that in September and December.
