REPORT OF THE MUNICIPAL LIGHT BOARD FOR 1920.
The plant as a whole or the gas and electric taken sep- arately shows increase in business from year to year. Gas increase sales in 1920 are $5,042.70 over 1919. Electric increase in sales in 1920 are $9,131.34 over 1919.
Owing to the great increase in prices of oil and coke, the gas plant shows a manufacturing loss of $1,085.14, but the electric plant a manufacturing profit of $23,303.22.
Conforming to the recommendations in last year's report, the new governor for the water wheels at the electric station has been installed at a cost of $1,500.00.
The new lift to be added to the gas holder has been de- layed owing to strikes at the steel mills, and railroad delays, but the material has recently arrived and is at the gas plant, and we trust will soon be completed as we are nearly to the limit of the holder in its present condition.
The contract renewal with the Plymouth Electric Light Company has been thrashed out with their representatives, . and with a few minor legal corrections, we expect will soon be in force.
Besides the $3,000.00 appropriated, $10,190.60 has been expended on extensions and new construction for public benefit from the earnings of the plant, although, the thousand dollars asked for last year to be used for this work was not granted owing to large appropriations asked for by the other departments.
The financial showing of the Municipal Gas and Electric Plant since its reorganization in 1912, at which time new rules, regulations, and a new method of bookkeeping highly recommended by the Massachusetts State Board of Gas and Electric Light Commissioners was introduced, is a matter of gratification to the retiring board.
Although there have been three changes in the third party on the board, two caused by death, and one by removal from the state, the management and method of conducting the business has been the same.
During the dark days of the plant when the question was whether the plant should be "sold out to Raymond," the
157
argument held out by politicians and lawyers on the floor of our Town Hall was that a municipal plant could not be made to pay. As evidence that it can, you may judge from the figures submitted by the manager.
Total gas and electric sales in 1913 were $33,603.91 and in 1920 were $70,321.42 which was an increase of $36,717.51. The Profit and Loss sheet up to that time (of 1913) showed a loss of $46,337.01 while the Profit and Loss sheet for Dec. 31, 1920, showed a profit of $18,931.86 or a gain during that time of $65,268.87; also the book value of the combined plants June 30, 1912, was $90,620.16 and on Dec. 31, 1920, the book value was $142,337.50 showing additions to the plant to the value of $51,717.34.
It is the hope and sincere desire of this board that the success attending this plant may continue under the new form of government.

REPORT OF THE MANAGER OF THE MUNICIPAL LIGHT PLANT FOR 1920. -
Messrs. William A. Andrews, Chairman.
Harlas L. Cushman and Cornelius H. Leonard.
· Municipal Light Board, Town of Middleboro.
Gentlemen :- I again have the honor to present herewith for your consideration and approval, the twenty-seventh 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, 1920. Although there are many gratifying results shown in report as well as some things accomplished not shown, but equally gratifying, the manu- faturing loss on the gas plant is not as pleasing.
Of the total loss of $1,085.14 for the year, $968.79 was lost in the first six months. As you know, the manager as well as your board was reluctant to raise the gas rates, living in hopes that market conditions governing the price of com- modities entering into the manufacture of gas would have a tendency to become nearer normal and thereby avert the necessity of increasing the rates. But unfortunately for us as well as for all gas companies, it became necessary to in- crease the rates October 1st, but this gave us only three months to overcome the losses incurred the previous nine. The present rates although seemingly high have only allowed us to break a little more than even inasmuch as the cost of production was $1,294.56 more than the first six months of the year. The increased gas expense in 1920 was $8,888.82 or nearly 41 per cent., while the increased gas made was only 21 per cent.
The two principle items increasing the cost of manufac- ture were coke which cost $2,578.72 more than in 1919, and oil which cost $4,815.78 more than in 1919. In the last six months of the year the combined cost of these two were $1,413.68 more than the first half of the year.
Should we again be able to purchase at nearer pre-war prices, and could the mains be extended to supply those who
159
are constantly and insistently demanding it, the gas depart- ment will again make as favorable showing as any year since the installation of the present machinery.
The increase in output was over 2,000,000 cu. ft. which was double the increase in 1919, and in five years the output has gone from 6,299,000 to 12,458,000 in 1920.
We still have on hand the 1,500 feet of 4 in. cast iron pipe intended for laying last year to extend the mains, but was unable to because the money requested for that purpose was not recommended by the appropriation committee.
The results from the operation of the electric department require no alibis or excuses. The load is constantly increas- ing, and the amount of current purchased last year was 603,603 K. W. H. being 114,562 K. W. H. more than pur- chased in 1919 and this latter amount was more than four times the increase in 1919 over 1918.
As you will note, the light and power sales increased $9,131.34 and the combined gas and electric sales $14,174.04 against a gain of $8,087.91 in light and power and $11,356.91 in 1919 for gas and light and power.
In order to be prepared to pay for the new holder lift which was expected and promised last fall it became evident that it would be necessary to curtail extensions both gas and electric, which perhaps placed the plant in a false light with those who' desired or expected extensions. Had the holder been completed when promised and paid for as per contract it would have left the plant with less than $100 in available funds at the close of the year and for this reason we hope those desiring extensions and not now being served will see the justice of our actions, and also hope that the full amount requested this year will be given in order that the many citizens and tax payers who are anxious for the ser- vice for which this plant was intended and are entitled to service from this plant, may be able to receive the benefits now enjoyed by the present consumers. To your manager it does not seem fair or in justice to the present consumers; it is not right that they should be compelled to pay for the extensions which are an asset to the town as a whole, as was the case this past year when the town appropriated $3,000 for new construction and $10,190.67 was taken from earn- ings derived from private consumers and devoted to exactly the same purposes as the $3,000 appropriated by the town.
Pardon me for once more calling your attention to the Profit and Loss balance which represents the results of the
160
operation of the plant. As will be seen from the Profit and Loss sheet the present balance of $18,931.86 represents the profit to Dec. 31, 1920, while you recall that in 1910 or only ten years ago it showed a loss of $63,064.15 up to that time.
A summary of the year's operation shows that with the $2,000.00 received from the town for street lights, the income for the year amounted to $72,301.64. From this was ex- pended $48,031.49 for operation and repairs; $1,440.00 for interest; $6,929.07 placed in the Depreciation Fund for re- newals of the plant (but mostly spent for new construction) leaving a balance of $11,901.08.
In rendering this final accounting of my stewardship to this board, I cannot at this time refrain from expressing my heartfelt and deep appreciation of the harmonious relations that have always existed between this board and myself, as well as at this time acknowledging the debt of gratitude for the counsel and advice given me in the business management of this plant, also for the many favors and courtesies extended.
