Librarian's Report
Flint Public Library has been open to the public every Tuesday evening, also Saturday afternoon and evening, with the exception of two holidays, January 1, and October 12.
The number of books circulated during the past year was 8,664 or 19 less than during 1928. (Considering two holidays, our circulation was much greater, really, than in 1928.) For the year, there were 855 books of non-fiction borrowed.
Those who have cared to read at the table have found the following magazines (* shows gift) American, American Boy, Atlantic, Century, Country Life, Harpers, Munsey, National Sportsman, Review of Reviews, St. Nicholas, Scribner's Woman's Home Companion, Popular Science, World's Work, Youth's Companion, *National Republic, *Our Dumb Animals, American Legion, *Columbia, *Christian Science Journal, * Essex Farmer and Homemaker, Outlook, Life, *Christian Register, *Christian Science Sentinel, and *New England Poultryman.
In June the library was pleased to award book certficates to eight pupils of the Grammar School. Those pupils receiv- ing certificates were Richard Churchill, Victoria Jankoski, Rosamond Le Colst, Amy Morgan, Victor Morrison, Olive Philbrick, Rosalie Rosnosky and Josie Sheldon. Each certifi- cate was given for the reading of five books from the approved
82
PUBLIC LIBRARY ACCOUNT
State Reading List, and writing a short review of each book. We hope that many more certificates will be awarded during the coming year.
We wish that more of the townspeople would read the "annual statistics" at the end of this report, and so become better acquainted with the general work of the library, and the ground it is trying to cover.
Again the librarian wishes to thank the trustees for their ever willing help and interest in the management of the library during the year now past.

Middleton Electric Light Department
In accordance with the general practice of making annual departmental reports, the Board of Electric Light Commis- sioners hereby submit the following report for the year end- ing December 31, 1929 for your approval.
We hope that our efforts in regard to maintenance, new construction and street lighting, as a whole have been satis- factory to our citizens, and we intend in 1930 to improve and further remedy the faults throughout our distribution system.
The factor of maintenance is of paramount importance. No electric lighting company can long continue to serve its customers, if its distribution system is not properly main- tained.
85
ELECTRIC LIGHT REPORT
Extensive repairs have been made to primary and second- ary lines during the year. New poles have been set and a number of miles of wire installed. Transformer capacity has been checked and additional transformers placed in service where conditions required. Primary lines have been extended in order to overcome the voltage drop and reduce line losses. Trees have been trimmed over the entire system, thereby eliminating the fault of heavy line leakage.
Maintenance is in charge of the manager by virtue of his office and a more detailed report on maintenance of this de- partment will follow this report and is made a part hereof.
Your Electric Light Commission, entered into a contract with the Eastern Massachusetts Electric Company for electric light and power service. This contract was made for a period of ten years with a provision for re-adjustment of rates at the termination of the fifth year period. When this contract be- comes effective it will be possible for the people of this town to enjoy a better and more adequate electric service and at a rate not higher than is being paid at the present time.
On August eight a contract was made with Mr. Creighton and Mr. Breed of Essex Street for electric service. In order to supply this service, a primary line was run a distance of fifty-eight poles from School Street to Creighton's permises. The total cost of the construction of this line, including the trimming of trees and one-half interest in fifty-eight poles was paid jointly by Mr. Creighton and Mr. Breed.
An agreement was made with the New England Telephone Company on October tenth. This agreement was for one-half interest in fifty-eight poles on Essex Street.
Primaries were run into Haswell Park from the South Main Street supply. Eight new customers were added by this installation.
House lighting lines were extended from Peabody Street along Mill Street, a distance of approximately five hundred
86
ELECTRIC LIGHT REPORT
feet. The total cost of this line was paid jointly by Mr. Cocazella and Mr. Fish of Lynn.
House lighting lines were extended from Peabody Street along East Street, a distance of about six hundred feet to Mrs. Hoctor's. The cost of this extension was borne by Mrs. Hoctor.
We had hoped to extend the house lighting lines this year up North Main Street, if conditions would warrant. As this report is being written, we are considering the advisability of building a line from Essex Street, through Debush Avenue to North Main Street to supply customers in that vicinity.
Plans have been made and specifications submitted for the building of the power line to South Middleton to supply the Boston Blacking Company. The building of this line is depen- dent on a favorable contract. Several contracts have been submitted to the Boston Blacking Company for approval, but at this writing no agreement has been reached.
A survey of the street lighting circuits shows that consid- erable maintenance work will be required this year. Several street lighting brackets should be repaired and numerous re- flectors replaced.
: Street lighting is a public service which merits consider- ably more attention on the part of townspeople than is gener- ally conceded to. it. It is one of the important factors in municipal development today.
Better and more adequate street lighting will advance civic pride, attract industry, and greatly increase the real estate values in our town.
Extensive use of household appliances is encouraged. It should be realized that a more universal use of electric current in homes will lower the cost of that current. It is quite ob- vious that the more business you give your Electric Light Department means lower rates and better service for the
87
ELECTRIC LIGHT REPORT
consumers and that naturally lower rates mean a wider use of electricity with its consequent advantages and benefits to the people of this town. It is a cycle which works out to the ad- vantage of all concerned.
In conclusion of this report, we wish to take this oppor- tunity to thank the various officials of our town for their co- operation as well as the hearty support of the townspeople during the past year, which we appreciate has contributed so largely to the success of this municipally owned activity operated wholly for the public good.
Respectfully submitted,
ARCHIBALD L. JONES OSCAR H. SHELDON OTTO CURRIER Board of Commissioners.
Manager's Report
In assuming the management of this Department, before determining on a policy to be pursued in maintaining and in- creasing the efficiency of the plant, it was necessary to give · considerable time to a study of its actual physical and financial condition.
Much of our equipment has been in use for a number of years, and was installed to meet conditions as they then exist- ed, but with the rapid advance of the design and use of elec- trical devices in the home, it is now entirely inadequate. How to meet these present day conditions has been given care- ful consideration.
A chart has been prepared showing the location of all transformers, the capacity of each and the number of custom- ers served by each. Several transformers were shown to have
88
ELCETRIC LIGHT REPORT
been greatly overloaded and others without sufficient load to operate efficiently. A noticeable case of this kind is a 1} KW transformer serving 17 customers and a 3 KW transformer serving 1 customer. In cases of this kind transformers have been relocated to give a better and more economical distribu- tion of current.
A new transformer has been installed at the corner of Washington Street to reduce the load on the transformers at the Square and in front of Town Hall. The transformer in front of the Church has been replaced by one double its size, giving much better service in that locality.
Long secondary leads with the attendant line losses are being eliminated as far as possible.
A check of all current sold against all current paid for shows line and distribution losses to be 24.8% or a money loss of $1,374.28. While service and distribution losses cannot be entirely avoided, they should not exceed 15%. To reduce this loss as much as possible, all trees along our lines have been trimmed and primary or secondary insulators installed where necessary. Poles and cross arms are being replaced where needed. Many of these have been in service for a long time and are badly decayed.
Seventy-eight metres have been changed and calibrated and as fast as meters are taken out they are tested and cali- brated before being again put in service. New services have been installed for forty-five customers and street services have been extended on Essex, East and Mill Streets and at Haswell Park. Other new extensions are planned for the near future.
Five street lights have been installed at South Middleton, two on South Main Street, and defective lighting fixtures re- placed on Maple, East and Forest Streets. A weekly inspec- tion of all street lights for replacing lights out has been provided ; light poles have been numbered and a chart prepared showing the location of all lights. A check sheet shows the
89
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT REPORT
number and location of lights replaced each week, locating at once any uusual breakage or defective fixtures.
Billing and collection of accounts has been systematized and bills of customers in arrears are being brought to their attention within a reasonable time. This not with a view of bringing undue pressure to bear, but only that a spirit of fair play does not permit those who pay promptly to carry the burden of those who do not.
A. B. HARRINGTON, Manager.
Highway Department Report
· To the Selectmen and Taxpayers of the Town of Middleton :
The following is a summary of the work of the Highway Department for the year 1929.
It is in the spring when the need of fresh gravel and proper drainage on our dirt roads is most forcibly brought to our attention. The back or dirt roads of the town are in very poor condition. 1. The only way to remedy such conditions is for the town to raise money to gravel such roads.
Gravel is one of the most important things for the high- way department to consider. Certainly some of our roads cannot be made smooth or free from mud until they are built up enough to secure drainage and to cover the worn out mate- rial, which on some roads, is mostly loam.
The department has endeavored to put as much gravel on our roads as was possible, consistent with the regular main- tenance work on all roads. The money allowed us in the regular highway appropriation is not enough to allow of much graveling, outside of patching here and there.
During 1929, 8,065 gallons of Tarvia B and 7,200 gallons of road oil have been applied and covered with sand. 1,500
90
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT REPORT
gallons of Tarvia K P have been mixed with gravel or pea stone and applied as patching material.
The fence appropriation was spent in repairs and painting most of the fences along the highways.
There was no bridge project carried out in 1929, but the Peabody Street bridge over the Ipswich River should be re- planked in 1930.
Sidewalks were rebuilt on portions of Maple, Lake and South Main Streets.
The East Street special appropriation work was started about July 1 and completed about September 10. On this project 4,000 linear feet were completely rebuilt and resur- faced, 20 feet in width. This work involved the excavation of 4,355 cubic yards of earth, 163 cubic yards of ledge and 128 cubic yards of trench. The laying of 362 feet of culvert. Removing and relaying 1,115 linear feet of stone wall. Re- moving 31 trees of 10 inch diameter or more and installing three catch basins.
It required over 5,000 cubic yards of gravel for the foun- dation and surface. 4,195 gallons of Tarvia B were applied and 65 cubic yards of sand were used to hold the' tar.
The total distance of 4,000 feet completed was 400 feet more than the contract with the State called for.
This street should be completed to Maple Street in 1930, giving the town a fine road extending to the Boxford line.
As Highway Surveyor of your town, I would like to ex- press my appreciation to the Massachusetts Department of Public Works for the wonderful spirit of co-operation and assistance given our town department by the engineers in charge. Also to the members of our town department who have co-operated so well to do what they could for the town.
Respectfully submitted,
J. ROY OSBORNE.

Report of Chief
To the Board of Selectmen :
Gentlemen : The Chief of Police herewith submits to your honorable body a brief synopsis for the year ending December 31, 1929, together with recommendations as to the more important requirements of the department for the com- ing year.
During the past year we have put a new roof on the police station and also an outside door with new hardware. There has been purchased some equipment but we are in need of a great deal more.
It is recommended that electric lights be put in the station.
I would request that enough money be appropriated to take care of these.

SCHOOL REPORT
Superintendent's Report
To the School Committee, Middleton, Mass. :
Madam and Gentlemen :
This is the sixth annual report that I have had the honor to submit as Superintendent of Schools. As is customary the report is kept brief for the sake of economy.
There have been no radical changes either in curriculum, methods, or in texts during the year. The most serious change was caused by the retirement of Miss Connors from the teaching profession to that of housewife. The loss of a good teacher is always serious. Miss Lillis who had served as coach teacher was also lost to us to take a position in Peabody.
The new teachers are Miss Evangeline Donovan replacing Miss Connors and Miss Caroline Littlefield who is serving as coach teacher. Both of these young ladies are Normal school graduates of recent years. They are fitting in very well with the rest of the organization so that the school is maintaining its usual excellent standard.
