The board desires to express its appreciation for the con- tributions and assistance given by the Good Will Society, the Thimble Club Daughters, and Mr. J. A. Sparrow, who each gave $25.00 and the Thimble Club $10.00 toward the support of the hospital. The Good Will Society opened a soup kitchen, and furnished hot meals to all needy families reported to them, thereby preventing much suffering where people were compelled to cook for themselves and could not get assistance.
The board a'so desires to express its appreciation to Dr. Coolidge, and staff who assumed full care and supervision of the hospital and its patients, attending them day and night, furnishing all needed medicine, the sheets and pillow slips needed, and doing the washing and laundrying. Also to Mrs. Coolidge who furnished the masks to all who applied for them, and to all those who contributed the use of their autos and services transporting the nurses and supplies, and to every- body who contributed and assisted in the suppression of the epidemic the board extends its thanks and gratitude.

REPORT OF MILK INSPECTOR
To the Board of Health
Gentlemen :-
The duties of a Milk Inspector require a thorough inspec- tion of all dairies within the limits of the town, and also a thorough inspection of all dairies in other towns selling milk in Middleboro, the inspection of all wagons and trucks deliv- ering milk to customers in the town, the collection of samples of milk from dairies and wagons for analysis, the inspection of Ice Cream Manufactories and bakeries, the issuing of milk licenses and permits, to sell milk, ice cream and butter sub- stitutes.
Have inspected sixty-nine dairies in Middleboro, four in Lakeville, four in Plympton, and one in Bridgewater. In- spected seventy-eight once, twenty dairies twice, and eight dairies three times before issuing the proprietor a permit or license to sell milk.
Ninety per cent. of the dairies furnishing milk for Middle- boro, are in a good sanitary condition, the dairies are well lighted, and ventilated, the walls are white washed every season and many of them are whitewashed spring and fall, and although most of them do not have modern equipment to handle their milk, a great deal of attention is given to handling and cooling the milk, which is the main factor in producing good clean milk with a small per cent. of bacteria, , and the reports from samples of milk collected from the public supply and sent to a bacteriologist for analysis indicate that the milk furnished to the town of Middleboro, is well above the standard required by the laws of the Commonwealth.
The following is a summary of licenses and permits granted in 1918:
Producers permits, license not required
14
Retailers, license required 64
Total number permits and license 78
License to sell butter substitutes
6
License to sell ice cream 5

TREE WARDEN'S REPORT FROM JAN. 1, 1918 TO JAN. 1, 1919.
The past year my work has been mostly outside the fire district.
I was able to do this much needed work because I used a truck instead of a horse. This method proved a great saving to the town as we could do more work in one day with a truck than we could do in two days with a horse.
Most of the work was trimming and removing trees.

LIBRARIAN'S REPORT.
To the President and Board of Trustees of the Middleborough Public Library :
I have the honor of submitting the report of the Middle- borough Public Library for the year 1919.
During the year, 965 new books were added to the Library 94 being gifts, 82 volumes of bound periodicals, and 798 pur- chases. Discarded books numbered 147, and replaced 43.
The classification of the new books added is as follows:
General Works
54
Philosophy and Religion
32
Sociology
52
Language and Science
16
Useful Arts
48
Fine Arts
26

Young People's Books

There were 316 new cards issued during the year, 129 being taken by children under the age of fifteen years. The library was opened for the distribution of books 285 days, and the number of books was 58,332. Of the number issued, the proportionwas as follows, non-fiction, 8,292; fiction, 29,141; and young people's books, 20,899. The largest num- ber distributed in one day was 593, the least 104, giving a daily average of 204.
In order to conserve on fuel, and light, during the coal shortage, the library was closed from 9 until 12 daily, from Jan. 28th, until April 1st, when the regular time for opening was resumed. Also during the epidemic, it was closed entirely from Sept. 27th, until Oct. 21st.
During that time a thorough account of stock was taken, and the books were found to number 23,645. Beginning with Sept. 9th the stack room was opened to the public, an arrangement which seems very satisfactory, giving people freer access to the books than they here-to-fore had.
146
· During the summer there was an urgent call from the American Library Association for books to be sent to the various camps, for use among the soldiers and sailors. People responded generously to the request sent out from the library, that books should be sent there, later to be sent to a dis- tributing centre for shipment, with the result that in all 394 went from this library.
Respectfully submitted, MARY M. EDDY,
Librarian.

REPORT OF THE MUNICIPAL LIGHT BOARD FOR 1918.
Owing to war conditions at the beginning of the fiscal year, retrenchment was the order of the day in all the Town Depart- ments. Your Board has endeavored to hold down expenses in compliance with the vote of the Town.
Many applications and petitions for extensions for both gas and electricity were received, but we were obliged to defer these requests to a more propitious time, as it seemed inexpedient to the voters to grant the appropriation asked for by your Commissioners for this purpose.
Gas Plant: Advanced wages in all our departments, and higher cost of material in manufacture of gas gradually re- duced what was a paying proposition the first of the year to one showing a deficit before the end of the first six months.
With the approval of the State Gas and Electric Com- missioners, an advance of 20 cents per thousand was made, which was only a slight addition over the cost of production.
Electric Plant: No changes have been made in prices thus far, as the current is purchased by contract; which has proven to be a great financial saving both to consumers and the Town.
(Signed) WILLIAM A. ANDREWS, Chairman. HARLAS L. CUSHMAN, GEORGE H. KEEDWELL.

REPORT OF THE MANAGER OF THE MUNICIPAL LIGHT PLANT FOR 1918.
Messrs. William A. Andrews, Chairman.
Harlas L. Cushman and George H. Keedwell,
Municipal Light Board, Town of Middleboro.
Gentlemen :- I have the honor to present herewith for your consideration and approval, the twenty-fifth annual report of the Manager on the operation of the Plant as well as the several accounts as shown on the books for the year ending December 31st, 1918.
The apparent large amount of bills payable this year (as compared with the smaller amount payable on Jan. 31st, of the last few years) was caused by the bill for bituminous coal for Gas Plant not being rendered until the early part of January, but as the coal was received in October and a part having been used from October to December 31st, it became necessary to consider it as a bill payable.
The increase shown in gas sales in 1918 over 1917, name- ly $2,099.31 is gratifying when conditions existing in 1918 are considered, and the Manager feels well repaid for the efforts put forth to further the sales of gas.
This Plant in common with all others suffered materially by the introduction of the daylight saving plan, so not- withstanding an increase of 73 new customers and the addi- tional income from one of the shoe factories which has opera- ted wholly with power from this Plant, the latter part of the year, the electric sales were $1,696,36 less in 1918 than in previous year.
The water power available in 1918 was less than in any one of the past seven years, in consequence of which there was generated at the station only 16 3-10 per cent. of our output against 28 per cent. the year before.
As you will note by comparing with last year's electric manufacturing account, the expenses of the Electric Plant were $2,437.68 less than the year before.
This was accomplished by not making any more repairs than actually obliged to in order to maintain proper service and getting along with less help. Although a disconnecting switch planned for has been installed on the High Tension line, the other needed additions of water wheel governor and
149
metering devices and switches were not made on account of cutting down appropriation asked for.
Probably no industry had greater problems to deal with than the gas companies, in their efforts to operate without any loss or at least with as small loss as possible. Conditions in our Town were no different from those in any other place. While strictest economy was practised along all lines, it be- came evident that the only method available to prevent operating at a loss was to increase the price of our product. This was done beginning September 1st. Although there was only one increase, it proved sufficient to make the income for the last six months of the year slightly exceed the cost of pro- duction, although a loss is shown for the year, it being the first time since 1913. We were more fortunate than some other plants as shown by statistics prepared and furnished by the Manager of a gas company which shows that one com- pany made 4 rate increases, 14 companies 3 rate increases, 20 companies 2 rate increases, 23 companies 1 rate increase and only 2 of the 60 reported, made no rate increase. One of these, the rate was $2.00 and the other $3.80 per thousand. Twenty-eight companies have increased their rate 30 cents or more.
From a production standpoint, when it is borne in mind that no new mains were laid last year, the increased sales by meter of 1 million 41 thousand cu. ft. is sufficient evidence that the people realize the cheapness and advantage of gas as a fuel, as less than 2% of our output is used for lighting. And, knowing the supreme service rendered by gas justifies the providing of further means of distributing by extending the gas mains.
Also at this time I wish to call to your attention the fact that some action should soon be taken toward the addition of another lift to the storage holder at the Gas Plant, Pro- vision for this lift was made at the time of erection of this holder. The maximum output for the day has now reached nearly 45,000 cu. ft. The capacity of the holder is only 50,000 cu. ft., so the time has passed when it is possible to have in reserve one day's supply of gas in case of accident or emergency. Under existing conditions it also works greater hardship during the time of repairs to gas making apparatus.
Perhaps I may be pardoned for once more and probably for the last time calling attention to the December 31st bal- ance on the Profit and Loss account which shows for the first
150
time a profit of $4001.38 from the operation of the Plant since owned by the Town. This is the turning point the voters have looked for. The Manager, together with the present board as with the past boards, have striven for 20 years to attain this result, and it is with pardonable pride that they may point to this feature of the report, for, except $20,548.42 the gift of Peirce Trustees and Taunton award, it is solely by the successful operation of the Plant under their combined efforts that the loss shown in 1906 of $68,361.44 under Muni- cipal ownership has been wiped out and a profit of $4,000.00 shown, notwithstanding the fact that up to this time no credit has been allowed for street lights furnished. Bearing on this statement the change in the law relative to appropriations for the electricity used by the Town is significant, as may be seen by following extract from notice sent out by State Board of Gas and Electric Light Commissioners. "Hereto- fore the expenses of a municipal lighting plant included the cost of maintaining and operating street lights and of lighting municipal buildings as well as the depreciation of the neces- sary plant and interest on and payments on account of the debt incurred therefore, but there was no compensating income from the municipality as such. Hereafter the law requires that such compensating income shall be provided, and that appropriations from the tax levy shall be made not primarily for account of the plant itself, but for the ser- vice rendered by the plant to the municipality in its cor- porate capacity. In other words, with this change a munici- pal lighting plant may be operated 'on a business basis, charging the city or town for the gas or electricity used by it, and treating the appropriations made as income, the same as though received from a private customer."
A summary of income and expense for 1918 is as follows: Expenditures for operation, and repairs, $32,012.18; Inter- est on bonds and notes, $1,740.00; Depreciation, $6,498.10; Bond payment, $3,500.00; total expenditures, $43,750.28. Income from private consumers, $44,792.72; Appropriation from Town, $5,000.00; total income, $49,792.72. Balance, (net profits) $6,042.44 on the operation of the Gas and Elec- tric Plant. Or so that the voters may more readily com- prehend it; from the earnings of the Plant and the appro- priation of $5,000.00 from Town, the Plant paid-bond of $3,500.00. Interest amounting to $1,740.00, put aside in cash in Depreciation Fund, $6,498.10, paid all operating expenses and repairs, furnished street lights to the value of $6,959.85 and have a balance of $6,042.44.
