On September 13, 1893, the Treasurer was notified by A. H. Thayer, secretary of the Lincoln School Building Committee, that bills had been rendered to the following persons for their share in the new fence around the Lincoln school lot, requesting that they make settlement with the Town Treasurer :

None of the above have made settlement as requested. There are also numerous concrete bills of former years remaining unsettled, which from time to time have been referred to the Selectmen. Other towns include such betterment assessments in the taxes of the follow-
203
ing year, but our town seems to allow them to go by default and are thus lost to the Town Treasury.
The Treasurer would suggest that inasmuch as the business of this department has trebled during his administration in the last eleven years, it will be obvious to the most casual observer that the salary attached to the office is entirely inadequate to the duties imposed. Should the town desire my services longer it must be with the under- standing that a more reasonable compensation be allowed.
Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS J. SKINNER, Treasurer.

REPORT OF MUNICIPAL LIGHT BOARD.
The Municipal Light Board submits for the consideration of the citizens of Wakefield, a few facts and figures pertain- ing to the Municipal ownership of the Gas and Electric Light Plant.
The long continued negotiations pertaining to its purchase, the arguments, and litigation, and final decree, are all mat -. ters well known, and concerning which your Board had nothing to do.
The town began its ownership on August 1, 1894, when your Board was called upon to assume control of the exist- ing works, and to apportion them out to represent the cost price, $144,680. Immediately thereafter, the then existing street-lights were put in repair, and made to do duty ; and in the Manager's report herewith will be found a detailed state- ment showing the progress made in the number of lights in operation.
A report was prepared, asking of the town an appropria- tion of $20,000, to extend the lines, add new machinery, etc., to properly, or at least fairly, light the town ; and it is a source of gratification to the Board, and we trust to the citizens that even more has been done in the way of lighting than was promised in that report; and there is still unex -. pended nearly $3,000 of the appropriation.
Up to the present time the town has supplied gas to the Citizens' Gas Light Company for the towns of Stoneham and. Reading, and by selling it according to metre at the town lines, so that any existing leaks did not fall upon the town to lose, there has been some profit from this source. So that, notwithstanding some special and unusual operating expenses, incidental to a plant that was more or less dis -. mantled, there has been a net profit to the town for the six.
205
months, after paying all operating expenses, both gas and electric, of about $1,300 ; and it is safe to presume that if the town was to continue to supply even the same amount of gas and electricity as at present, its street lighting, notwith- standing the large outlay, and heavy interest account, would be among the very cheapest in the State. But when the adjoining towns shall get their supply elsewhere, there will be less revenue, and not a corresponding saving in expense, which must naturally increase the cost to the town for its street lights ; but this should be largely made up with in- creased patronage from our own citizens, not only reducing the amount to be appropriated to meet the interest, but gradually and surely reducing the cost to the consumers of gas and electricity.
The present improved methods of utilizing gas for cook- ing and heating make it a close competitor of coal in the matter of expense, and when its conveniences and cleanliness are considered, it surely will find patronage, especially in the warmer season. To this end the Board believes it should be the policy of the town to encourage its use by arranging to supply apparatus at special prices, and gas at reduced rates, for this and similar purposes.
The Board has felt, as a matter of precaution, that not . only should a reasonable amount of fire insurance be pro- vided for, but also accident insurance, especially when in- stalling new machinery, and running new lines, particularly while there is the present tendency to bring action for dam- age against a municipality, whenever and wherever there is any excuse or alleged reason for so doing ; and it is some- thing worthy of notice that no accident has thus far occurred, so far as the Board has been informed, either inside or out- side the works.
As to what has been accomplished in the way of lighting, the citizens are in position to judge for themselves by actual observation ; and while in the many miles of streets in this town, there are places where lights are needed, the Board
206
feels that any additional lights should be located and ordered by a vote of the town.
The contract that existed between the town and Mr. Ward for caring for and lighting the oil lamps, has been cancelled by the town, and the Board is now arranging to care for such lamps as are necessary, by the regular employees at the works.
Special attention is called to the report of the Manager, showing the result of the month of January, which is the only complete month that the works have been running with all the lights installed ; and notwithstanding it was an unusu- ally hard month, so far as extra lighting was concerned, the lamps being on some part of twenty-eight nights out of the thirty-one, it still shows that they were run at a low cost, less than $5 per light for the month, without regard to the profit on gas, and of course without considering the interest account. It will be seen that the profit on gas not only pro- vided for the interest account on the whole indebtedness, but reduced the net cost of lighting for the month to the very low figure of $2.36 per lamp.
Cordial invitation is extended to the citizens to visit the works at any time, and the Manager will be pleased to give such visitors any desired information regarding the works.
The Board desires to extend its sincere thanks to the town for hearty co-operation in making appropriations, as asked for, and for the kindly words of encouragement re- ceived from many citizens ; for without these prompt appro- priations, the Board could hardly have expected to accom- plish anything in the way of satisfactory lighting.
Respectfully submitted.

MANAGER'S REPORT.
MESSRS. SILAS W. FLINT, Chairman; CHARLES H. SPENCER and ELROY N. HEATH, Municipal Light Board, Town of Wakefield.
GENTLEMEN :- In my report of last September, adopted by the town at its meeting of September 11, 1894, on the location of lamps and the estimated cost of installing machinery and extending poles and wires throughout the town, with the esti- mated cost of maintaining same, and now that the plant is com- plete and all lights are running, I have the honor of presenting a second report.
My recommendation was for two forty-five light arc dynamos, with the old one of the same size at station, making a total of one hundred and thirty-five lights, but by judicious scheming and competition the board was enabled to purchase two fifty light dynamos for the same price as recommended, hence we have a capacity of one hundred and forty-five lights, or ten more than was adopted by the town, and the board has already located nine of these where they thought most needed, making a total of one hundred and forty-four running at the present time.
Following is the estimated cost recommended, with the actual cost after all bills are paid :

AND REPAIRS OF BOILERS, ENGINES, LINES, ELECTRIC STATION AND ARC LAMPS.

$7,156 06.
In the above actual cost we have a capacity of ten more lights than was recommended, and have ten more lamps than was asked for; and my recommendation was for one hundred and eighty- six poles of various sizes, but looking over the old lines more carefully and changing the position of some of the lights and the location of ten lights in addition to the one hundred and thirty- five recommended, we have set two hundred and forty poles, an increase of fifty-six poles.
We have also laid a new floor in the station. In fact, we have done a great many things not detailed in my last report but actu- ally needed, and which have been paid for out of the special appropriation ($20,000), and when all bills are paid there remains an unexpended balance of about $2,918.77.
In my last report I recommended keeping the power generator for future need. I now recommend selling this machine. The new alternating dynamo, just added to our station, is capable of furnishing power as well as light, and if the town wishes to fur- nish power to the citizens we can do so from this machine, there- fore the old generator is of no further use to us, and the longer we keep it the less we will receive for it. The reason for chang- ing my opinion is that the above alternating dynamo for power and light combined, has been brought out by the General Electric Company since my last report was written.
The average number of lights in operation during the past five months was as follows :
August, 16 1-3 lights ; September, 18 2-3 lights; October, 19 lights ; November, 33 3-4 lights; December, 120 3-4 lights ; or an average of 41 3-4 lights the total time. Although we are run- ning on the moonlight schedule, we have had our streets lighted a great many' hours more than we would if the town were pur- chasing from a private corporation. By following the 'moon schedule strictly we would have lighted each lamp 546 hours, or
210
a total of 22,794 lamp hours, but by following the policy of light- ing when the moon should shine but did not, we have lighted each lamp 735 hours, or a total of 30,663 lamp hours, showing an increase of 189 hours for each lamp, or a total of 7,869 lamp hours.
As previously stated, we could get through the winter with the present appliances in the gas works, but that extensions and addi- tions would have to be made the coming spring, as the condens- ing and purifying apparatus is in a dilapidated condition, and now that the Citizens' Gas Light Company are building a plant at Stoneham to supply that town and the town of Reading, we know that our send out will be cut down about fifty per cent., and I would recommend the least possible outlay in order to put the plant in proper condition and capable of supplying gas to the town of Wakefield alone, for a number of years to come.
I have prepared plans and received estimates on moving and putting new covers on purifying boxes, placing proper supports under them to keep them in position, also for a new centre seal, new scrubber, new condenser, and all necessary connections, and · the removal of the exhauster from its present position to the next room, with foundations and flooring complete. For the above alterations and additions I would respectfully ask an appro- priation of four thousand dollars ($4000) from the gas and electric bonds, and two thousand dollars ($2000) for the extension of street gas mains. It is impossible to tell just how much will be required for this item, as it depends entirely upon the applications received and guarantees made for extension of mains.
When the town took possession of the plant last August, pro- visions had to be made to supply Stoneham and Reading with gas, and the Municipal Light Board made arrangements with the Citizens' Gas Light Company to supply them until October Ist, and the town of Wakefield was to receive just what the consu- mers' meters called for. During August we were advised of sev- eral leaks in Stoneham, and upon investigation I recommended to the board that we put large meters at the lines (Stoneham and Reading) and after October Ist to sell gas by them. I received orders to do this, and the latter part of September the board noti- fied the Citizens' Gas Company that the gas would be $1.60 per thousand at the line (subject to the approval of the State Board of
211
Gas and Electric Light Commissioners) and since that time our leakage account has been cut down over twenty-five per cent.
Following is a statement of gas made, accounted for and unac- counted for, or loss, from August 1, 1894, to January 1, 1895- five months :
Gas manufactured, 4,467,000 feet.
Gas accounted for, 3,690,000 feet.
Gas unaccounted for, 777,000 feet, or 17 39-100 per cent.
Had we not been obliged to stand the leakage in Stoneham and Reading for the first two months, our loss would have been much less.
Following is a statement of assets and liabilities of the plant January 1, 1895, also a statement of expenses and receipts of the electric and gas departments separately, which will give some idea of how the plant is running, but will not give a basis to fig- ure on for the future, as there has not been one month when we have had all the lights running :
