Make, 22,000 cu. ft. Output in 4 hrs., 35,600 cu. ft., or at the rate per hour of 8,900 cu. ft.
Make, 22,000 cu. ft. Output, in 4 hrs., 35,000 cu. ft., or at the rate per hour of 8,750 cu. ft.
Which shows that if we had not made any gas on these dates, after 6 p. m., the town would have been out of gas by 10.30 p. m., or in about 4 1-2 hours. This is a very unsafe
323
condition, in view of the fact that there is always a possibility of interruptions on account of stoppages or a breakdown in mechanical devices.
During the greater part of the 24 hours, we are compelled to skip charges, for want of storage capacity, while at our maximum output the three benches are run at ordinary work- ing capacity in order to supply the demand.
Skipping charges lowers the candle power, and also has a deteriorating effect upon the retorts (burns them out.)
It is necessary to maintain practically the same heat under benches when charges are skipped as when full charges are run, and therefore the amount of bench fuel is greater, per thousand cubic feet of gas made, than it is when no charges are skipped.
With the proper holder capacity it is possible (and very practicable) to make steadily during the periods of least out- put and thus accumulate a reserve that will carry the plant safely over the times of maximum demand- or a possible shut down of I to 20 hours on account of break-down or stop- page.
A new holder of 100,000 cubic feet capacity, which is as small as it is advisable to build, can be built beside the pres- ent holder, thus giving us a total storage capacity of 140,000 cubic feet.
The cost of this holder, including foundation, would be $15,000, new rotary station meter and setting, necessary pip- ing, governors and fittings and cost of labor $1,500, a total of $16,500.
It also becomes necessary to again increase the capacity of our gas benches, as it is now impossible to make enough gas in two benches for one day's output.
As we have but three benches, and one each year has to be shut down for six weeks, at least, for resetting new retorts, it becomes absolutely necessary to put in another bench of 6's so that repairs can be made. As some extra work has got to be done to make room for another bench (one boiler has got to be moved and reset) $3,500 will be needed.

SUGGESTION AS TO PAYMENTS.
The money to be raised by an issue of notes, thirty in number. The first note of $2,400 to mature in 1909, and fourteen notes of $2,400 each, to mature one each year from 1910 to 1938, inclusive. Each note at maturity to be paid from the Light Plant Depreciation fund.
By paying these notes from Depreciation fund it does not increase the total investment on the plant and therefore does not increase the amount to be appropriated annually for de- preciation, as prescribed in the State act, and it will not in- crease the tax rate.
There is some question as to our right to pay these notes from the Depreciation fund; we have interviewed the State board of Gas and Electric commissioners upon the subject, and they assured us the Act was intended to provide for just such conditions as have come up here, but the wording of the Act is such that a fine point might be drawn and the question raised as to our right, under the Act, to pay notes in succeeding years for work that is done this year.
Upon the suggestion of the State board we have petitioned and presented an Act to the General court for changes which will clear away any question as to legality.
The State board will support the measure and it is very probable to receive favorable action.
The city of Holyoke has already established the precedent by issuing notes in 1906, and voting to pay them from their Depreciation fund.
The State Board assured us that if the town voted to pay the notes from their Depreciation, they (the State Board) would certainly not question our right to do so.
325
It is improbable that the Act can be passed before the close of this warrant, and we would recommend, after considering all that has been said and done by others, and if a favorable opinion can be obtained from the town counsel, that the town vote on the question of paying these notes from the Deprecia- tion Fund, and if the appropriation is made under these con- ditions, there will be our belief that it is legal, the precedent established by Holyoke and the probable passage of the Act to protect us, and apparently no one to attack us for doing so.
If the town counsel's opinion is not favorable, the appro- priation can be voted subject to the passage of the Act.
Respectfully submitted, WM. E. ARNOLD, FRED A. SWAIN, E. E. EMERSON, Municipal Light Board.
