ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE GAS AND ELECTRIC DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Town of Middleborough, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
The following is the annual report of the Gas and Electric Depart- ment for the year ending December 31, 1959.
GAS DIVISION
A: An extension of 4 inch steel gas mains was made on Everett Street for a distance of 598 feet. This was tied into the gas main on North Street and will provide added capacity for both the new customers already on the lines and for future customers in that area.
B: Revamping of gas mains was carried out, while East Main Street was being rebuilt, by joining mains at East Main and Montello Streets and at Coombs and East Main Streets. This will improve gas pressures and provide more capacity in the surrounding area. Old serv- ices across the road were replaced, leaky joints were clamped, and a section of very old, small, and deteriorated main was abandoned. New 4 inch steel main was added for a length of 120 feet.
C: The Prospect Street area pressure was improved to take care of the Laundromat and other gas customers by replacing 11/4 inch tie with a 4 inch steel main for a distance of 74 feet.
D: About 160 feet of 4 inch steel gas mains were laid along Park Street and were tied in to Frank Street to provide for gas heating in the new Old Age Housing Project.
E: An appreciable number of leaky joints were dug up and clamped to reduce the "unaccounted for" gas.
F: The Gas Division supervised and assisted in the laying and tie- ing in of about 1000 feet of wrapped, 6 inch welded steel main on South Main Street (Prospect Street to R.R. Bridge), which was straightened out in connection with the new Route 28 Expressway. This replaced a similar unwrapped main which was abandoned.
G: Because of a Mass. Dept. of Public Utilities order, an ODOR- OMETER instrument was purchased and daily tests are made of the amount of "smell" in our gas. Monthly reports are submitted to the D.P.U.
H: Other data are:
New Low Pressure Gas Services installed 11
Low Pressure Gas Services dug up and abandoned 5
Old Gas Services dug up and completely replaced 6

ELECTRIC DIVISION
A: In Lakeville at the new Route 140 Expressway, electric line installations were completed across a new bridge near the intersection of Pickens and Kingman Streets. Old lines were removed from the streets in this area and new connecting lines were tied to the bridge-crossing lines.
B: About a half mile of new three phase electric power lines were constructed on relocated Highland Road in Lakeville. This circuit was built across a new bridge over the new Route 140 Expressway. The old poles and wires on the abandoned section of Highland Road were re- moved.

ANNUAL REPORT
C: New electric line extensions were built in Lakeville along Bar- stow Street and at Reservoir Acres off Main Street.
D: Three new 100 K.V.A. Transformers were installed at the Ply- mouth Shoe Co. to take care of the higher load. The structure and en- trance rebuilt to provide easier access and better service.
E: A three phase electric pole line extension was installed off East Main Street to the new Water Pumping Station. A three phase bank of transformers was also installed.
F: A three phase power line extension was installed on Wood Street for the new Byrnes Gravel Pit.
G: Additional wires were installed and construction was done on Fairview Street to bring three phase power to the Lovell Sea Food Plant.
H: Three phase power transformer banks were installed at Vasel's on East Main Street and for the new Old Age Housing Development on Park Street.
I: The three phase power transformer bank at the Dean-Morris Shoe Co. was relocated and rebuilt.
J: At the new Route 28 Expressway, a new electric pole line was built along Harding Street for a distance of 2500 feet. The wires and poles of the Temporary Line were removed.
K: Along Pierce Street (from Oak to Main Streets) the mixed small wires were replaced on two circuits by heavy wires with improved construction and wider spacing to eliminate the trouble spots of the past. Also a feed to these lines was made via the underground system from the Electric Station for greater reliability. The circuits involved feed the North Middleboro area and the factories in this part of the Town.
L: Heavier wire and larger transformers were installed in numer- ous locations where customers added considerable loads such as electric stoves, water heaters, etc.
M: Due to several factors (lower fuel charges, lack of severe storms, etc.) which tend to increase our profits, a CHRISTMAS BONUS CREDIT was given to all Residential customers for the month of De- cember in order to stabilize our earnings for the year. Some adjustment credit was also given to Industrial customers. This action apparently was unusual as the news appeared in papers all over the U. S. and (according to some reports) in other countries.
N: In connection with the new Route 28 Expressway, steel towers were erected at the Taunton R.R. track crossing and at South Main Street. These towers will carry the electric lines supplying the Town of Mid- dleboro.
