AUDITORS' FINAL STATEMENT.
From March 5, 1896, to January 31, 1897, the Selectmen have drawn 1887 orders on the Treasurer, representing $172,417.18. We have examined the vouchers for these payments, and our report upon them will be found arranged in the departments to which they belong.
Our final balance sheet shows a total expenditure of $185,966.39, which includes $13,578.50 disbursed directly by the Treasurer for Interest, Library and Reading Room payments.
We have verified the receipts of such departments as pay money to the Treasurer ; we have examined the books of the Collector of Taxes, and of T. J. Skinner, Treasurer of the Library and Reading Room, and find them correct. We have also examined the accounts of Mr. Skinner, as Town Treasurer, and find them correct, with the proper vouchers for all receipts and payments ; and that he has a cash balance of $11,558.60 on deposit in the National Bank of So. Reading.
We also certify that he has securities and deposits representing the C. Sweetser Lecture Fund, Burial Lot Funds, and Library Funds.
We have made a careful examination of the books and accounts of the Municipal Light Plant, and find them neatly and correctly kept.
In our report of the expenditures of the various appropriations we have itemized as far as space and time will allow.
Any citizen of the Town of Wakefield desirous of obtaining any closer knowledge of bills or accounts will be gladly given some by any member of this board.
190
The board would once more recommend that each official board should, at the end of the financial year, and after their books had been audited, include in their report to the Town a detail of receipts and expenditures the same as is now done by the Auditors, thus giving them an opportunity to issue the Town Report at an earlier date than at present.
In compliance with the vote of the Town we have compiled the annual Town Report and submit the same.
Respectfully submitted.

REPORT
OF THE
Municipal Light Board
OF THE
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD.
- 1896-97. -
194
REPORT OF MUNICIPAL LIGHT BOARD.
The third annual report of the Municipal Light Board is herewith respectfully presented to the citizens of Wakefield, together with the manager's report, with a brief resume of such items as pertain to the matters of gas and electric lighting.
EXTENSION GAS PLANT.
At the beginning of the year there remained unexpended the bal- ance of $466.15 for this account. No appropriation was asked for, and there has been expended the sum of $460.39 leaving a balance of $5.76. The works are now in such good shape so far as the gas end goes, that no appropriation is asked for in this connection.
EXTENSION OF GAS MAINS.
The balance available at the beginning of the year for the exten- sion of gas mains was $788.34. Of this there has been expended during the year the sum of $299.36 leaving a balance of $488.98 for the purpose of gas main extensions. No appropriation was asked for on this account as there was a large amount of pipe on hand and the balance was sufficient for the labor account. Upwards of twenty- four hundred feet of mains were laid during the year as detailed in the manager's report, and in order to properly extend the mains where it will be profitable to do so, additional funds will be needed, and we have asked for an appropriation of $1000, for this purpose.
EXTENSION OF ELECTRIC LINES.
An appropriation of $iooo is asked for to be used in extending elec- tric lines where called for and a suitable guarantee of business fur- nished. There is ample machinery installed to furnish additional in- candescent lights. We are now supylying about 2300 incandescent lamps or about double the number at the time the town took the
195
works. Extensions in this direction that result in profitable patron- age should be encouraged.
GENERAL EXPENSES.
The balance unexpended at the beginning of the year that was available for general expenses was $546.82; and the income from the plant. The board asked for an appropriation of $2000, relying on increased patronage from the citizens to such an extent, as would en- able the works to be run with this amount, but with the falling off in the consumption of gas at Reading and not receiving the additional patronage of Wakefield that was expected and hoped for, they were obliged to ask for a further appropriation of $2000. It is a fact that there is some increased patronage from our own citizens both for gas- and electricity, there being fifty-three more consumers of gas, and twenty more consumers of electricity than when the town assumed control of the works, this being an increase of about 29 per cent. but the fact remains there is still a large percentage of our citizens living along the existing mains and wires, that are not users of gas or electricity, and your board would again call attention to the fact that your town lighting plant is endeavoring to so serve the citi- zens as to deserve their liberal patronage, any increase of which re- sults in cheaper lights for the streets, and a direct saving to the town. This year your board asks for an appropriation of $3500, and the in- come from the plant for general expenses. There is need of a con- siderable balance available in the summer months when coal can be purchased at best advantage and at a season of the year when the re- ceipts from the works are necessarily small.
THE RESULTS.
It will be found by referring to the detailed account herewith that the net cost of operating the electric plant with the expenses per- taining to it was $7010.41 for the year. This as in former years cov- ers such items as were needed to maintain and keep in proper repair the works and appliances, and the lights have been run more hours than in any previous year. The arc lights are also run in the mom- ing from five o'clock to daylight from Nov. 15 to March 15 accord- ing to vote of the town. The incandescent system has been run all night, and every night, and there has been no time during any night that the users of electricity have been deprived of the lights.
196
The gas account shows a net profit of $4360.98 after paying such expenses as have been necessary to maintain the works. This leaves the net cost of operating the entire plant $2649.43 or $18.27 for each arc light for the year. The actual interest account belong- ing to the year (namely 4 per cent. on $177,000 for eight months, and 4 per cent. on $174,000 for four months) amounts to $7040.00 or $48.55 per arc light for the year, making a total cost for manu- facturing account and interest account of $66.82 for each arc light or at the rate of $61.55 by moonlight schedule. This covers all items of expense of every nature excepting the salary of the board and the expense of maintaining the oil lamps.
GAS FOR COOKING.
Quite a number of gas cooking ranges have been placed during the year, and if we may judge by the reports received, the users are highly satisfied with the results. We only wish all our people under- stood more fully the benefits to be derived from using gas for cook- ing purposes, not only is it the most convenient and efficient method, but it is as a matter of fact the most economical.
IN GENERAL.
We are able to say again, that the year has passed without acci- dent of any kind, to the works or outside connections, we think the town can safely assume that this is not entirely a matter of good luck but is due somewhat to good management, and the selection by the manager of careful and capable employees.
The invitation is renewed to all citizens interested to visit the works, and the board and manager are always glad to receive honest criticism and advice from the citizens of Wakefield whose servants they are.
The board continues their regular meetings at town hall building on Tuesday evenings, where bills may be paid, or any business per- taining to the lighting plant may be brought before the board.
It seems necessary for the board to say a few words here that do not pertain entirely to the last year's business, but do apply as we believe to the future and lasting welfare of the lighting plant in the town. It ought to be generally understood that the members of your board are not interested in their work for the salary alone, but are earnest believers in good lights at the lowest cost, and have worked,
197
as they themselves know, faithfully and diligently for the best interests of the town in this direction, and while not claiming perfection in everything done, they are in no way ashamed of the record made. They have no apologies to make or excuses to offer, and conscious of having done their best, feel assured their efforts have met with the approval of the citizens generally. The insinuations of fraud, extrava- gance etc., that a very few individuals are trying to circulate for reasons that are well understood, having no foundation cannot affect either the town as a whole or the board as individuals.
Respectfully submitted,

MANAGER'S REPORT.
MESSRS. SILAS W. FLINT, Chairman,
CHARLES H. SPENCER and ELROY N. HEATH,
Municipal Light Board, Town of Wakefield.
GENTLEMEN :- I have the honor of presenting the third annual report as manager of the Municipal Light Plant for the year ending January 31, 1897.
We have continued as in preivous years, to light our streets until 12.15 o'clock on all dark nights, and also mornings from five o'clock until daylight from November 15 to March 15, according to the vote of the town, and by doing so we have run the lights 289 nights, or a total of 1,306 hours each. Had we followed the moon schedule strictly and not lighted mornings, as a corporation would have done had the town been buying the light, we would have run 262 nights or 1,203 hours each, therefore that should be considered in the cost of lights.
I think we have occasion to congratulate ourselves that we have had no serious accident during the year to oblige us to shut down ; nor have we had any report of damage being done to any person or property connected with the plant or outside. We did have trouble with one of our arc dynamos which obliged us to send it to the T .- H. factory at Lynn, to have the fields re-wound. That was the only trouble we have had with apparatus.
During the year there has been a number of applications received for additional street lights, but as before stated our arc dynamos are run to their full capacity and it was impossible to grant such petitions.
We have in operation one hundred and forty-five arc lamps, the same as reported last year, locations of which are in last report.
There have been very few lamps reported out or not lighted, less than one fourth of one per cent. We have changed a large number of the lamps, which have been thoroughly repaired and placed out on the line again.
199
We have added a few new consumers on our alternating or incan- descent lines and have also discontinued a few, but on the whole we have received a larger income from this source than any previous year.

The alternating lights have been run all night and every night throughout the year, and the total service given was 4,626 1-2 hours. Steam coal used in Electric Station, 938 tons.
Coke used in Electric station, 84 bushels.
We will be obliged during the coming summer to take down the greater part of the steam piping and valves from boilers to engines, and put up new where needed, as they are in very bad condition. The valves are partly worn out and will need new, or old ones repaired, and a number of joints on the large pipes are in such bad condition that they cannot be throughly repaired without taking them apart and putting in new pieces.
We are also going to have the cylinders of both engines bored out
200
and new pistons put in as they need it badly, nothing has been done to the cylinders of the engines or to the steam piping since the town had control. The expense will be about four or five hundred dollars to put the steam plant in thorough repair.
GAS DEPARTMENT.
We have made a few changes and improvements in the gas de- partment during the past year, having raised the floor of the meter room, reset and thoroughly repaired station meter, put in new 8 inch connections to the meter and provided it with a bye pass, so that we can shut off the meter without shutting down the entire works. This could not have been done before.
We have only replaced one retort the past year as that was all that was burned out, this year we will not be obliged to put in any retorts as they are all in good condition. '
The consumption of gas has been on the increase in Wakefield owing largely to the new mains extended, and I am in hopes it will increase more next year as there is still left the greater part of Wake- field where there are no mains in the streets.
We have kept up the quality of gas to 17.8 candle power and have not received one complaint that we were supplying poor gas.
We have extended our street main system as follows :
Murray street, from West Chestnut street, south, 263 ft. 2-in, pipe. Lawrence street, from Mr. Miller's house, east, 781 “ 6
4 Aborn Avenue, from Main street, east, 939 4
“ 66 Otis street, from Crescent street, east, 424 66 6.6
4
Total of 2,407 feet.
And have received guarantee of 5 per cent. on $1, 150.
We have supplied Reading with gas the past year through the Citizens Gas Light Co., but on account of the electric lights in Reading they have not used as much gas as in former years.

or a loss of 12.92 per cent. for the year.
OIL STREET LIGHTS.
We have taken care of what few oil lights there are in town, and the expense which will be found elsewhere in this report, has been taken from appropriation of running expenses. We have added to the list given last year four more lamps, three on Bartley street, one on Water street, opposite Montrose Avenue, making a total of twenty- three now in use ; all of the old unused lamp posts have been removed from the streets and we have one hundred and fourteen now under cover, and the town can dispose of them as they think best.
