REPORT OF GAS AND ELECTRIC DEPARTMENT
To the Town Manager Town of Middleboro.
Dear Sir:
I am submitting the fortieth report of the Gas and Elec- tric Dept. for the year ending December 30, 1933.
This report includes operation accounts, revenues, Bal- ance Sheet, Profit and Loss sheet, in same form as in the report to the Public Utilities, together with Statement of Accounts.
GAS
The outstanding feature of the gas department is the reduced balance to Profit and Loss, which although small, is gratifying to know is profit and not loss. We have had several requests to temporarily discontinue the gas service because of economic conditions, which is probably the prin- cipal reason for 41 iess gas customers, as of December 30th. The most notable reason is the lesser number of gas customers using gas for house heating. The gas sold for house heating was more than one and three quarter million feet less than the year previous, and represents nearly $1500.00 less in- come, which is an appreciable part of the total of $6426.49 decrease in income for the year.
All rust spots on storage holder have been scraped and covered with rust resisting priming coat in preparation for painting early this year.

ELECTRIC
The comparatively small manufacturing profit is not only because of the decrease of $12,500.00 income, but of the continued program of increasing the size of conductors. Also because at this particular period it became necessary to renew a large number of old and dangerous poles, at a cost to the plant of over $5,000.00, which was paid to the Telephone Company, this being one half the cost of this work. There was also added to this the cost of changing the wires, transformers, fixtures, etc. from the old to the new poles, altogether meaning an expense of approximately $9,000.00 more than last year for the maintenance and sup- plies for distribution lines.
The first trouble on the underground, put in in 1928, developed this past year on the white way street lighting system. This was cleared up and cables reconditioned, and other improvements made, by a Boston firm at an ex- pense of about $1,100.00.
Three new panels were purchased for extending the switchboard, in order that a smaller territory would be out of service in case of line trouble, and provide separate panel for the contemplated new line to the pumping station.
Lines have been extended 512 miles on public highways during the year, for new customers
