ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF GAS AND ELECTRIC DEPARTMENT
To the Town Manager
Town of Middleboro
Dear Sir:
I herewith present the annual report of the Gas and Electric De- partment for the year ending December 31, 1949.
This report includes Operating Accounts, Revenues, Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Sheet, in the same form as in the Report to the Public Utilities, together with the Statement of Accounts.
GAS
More than a normal amount of time and money have been spent during 1949 on maintenance and improvements of the property and buildings at the Vine Street Gas Plant.
The cement floor in the purifier room has been completed and the remainder of dirt floors have been replaced with concrete.
An up to date new and modern heating system has been installed and proven to be very efficient.
An up to date men's room has been installed inside the building.
A new Stock Room has been built inside the building with the necessary bins and shelves.
The regulators and meter have been encased in a separate room where heat can be controlled thereby eliminating condensation on the regulators which might cause temporary failure of either one or both regulators.
The large granite stones removed from Plymouth Street were used to construct an abutment at the Gas Plant on Vine Street to eliminate portions of Center Street washing down into the yard. An abutment has also been constructed next to the Railroad for the same reason.
Nearly all windows and casings in the buildings have been replaced because of rot and this was also necessary in order to reduce heating costs.
It is of interest to note:
That our Gas Sales for 1949 showed an increase of $12,047.60 1. over 1948, yet the total cu. ft. of gas purchased from Taunton was approximately one million cu. ft. less.
2. Also that the Gas Department under Profit and Loss for 1948 suffered a loss of $7,720.63, whereas 1949 shows a profit of $568.27. This shows a gain of $8,288.90 in a twelve month period.
3. The unaccounted for or lost gas has been reduced from 17.98% to 10.52%, or an annual saving in dollars and cents of $2,974.14.

ELECTRIC
Due to the high level of building throughout this territory, the requests for Electrical Energy remained at an all time high. This condition also prevails throughout the New England States. These conditions naturally retard our much needed maintenance to the Distribution System. However, the overall effect was not as noticeable in 1949 as in 1948.
Philbrook Memorial Plaque
On June 7, at 5 P. M., the unveiling of the plaque presented to the Middleboro Gas and Electric Department by the General Electric Com- pany, took place at the Electric Station. This plaque commemorates the planning of the re-equipping of the electric station as done by the late manager, George A. Philbrook, in 1942, which has now been com- pleted. Mr. Walter E. Wragg, close personal friend of Mr. Philbrook, and associate of the General Electric Company for over fifty years, did the unveiling.
We have noticed a reduction of approximately 75% in complaints and trouble calls.
The outages due to storms have been reduced to about a normal level.
Although the underground cables are twenty to thirty years old there were no cable failures in 1949.
There were no outages in 1949 due to equipment failures.
The old "Rules and Regulations" were re-written and put into effect May 2, 1949, under the title of "Term and Conditions." These have been distributed upon request at no cost.
The underground secondary service which has always been two wire, 110 volt, 60 cycle current, was changed to three wire, 230-115 volt secondary from John Glass Jr. Square down Center Street to a point near the Carroll Cut Rate Store and this service is now available and recommended in this area. By mid summer 1950 it is expected that this type service will be available at any location throughout our entire system.
The removal of the Smoke Stack at the Electric Light Station became a "must" in 1949 because of the hazard it presented while standing.
110
ANNUAL REPORT
A complete set of blueprints have been made of all the under- ground system and are on file in the office. We are now progressing as rapidly as possible to make prints and card files of all the overhead distribution system. We are also in the process of changing the existing 2400 volt primary circuit to 4160 volt, three phase, four wire, and expect to have one circuit completed by mid summer.

The improvements and achievements of the Middleboro Gas and Electric Department have proved to be outstanding. All of these improvements have been made possible through the understanding and one hundred percent cooperation of the Selectmen acting as Light and Power Commissioners.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Board of Select- men and Town Manager for their wholehearted support and coopera- tion during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
HERMON R. DYKE,
Manager.
