The Municipal Light Board present herein its 15th annual report for the year ending January 31, 1909.
The manager's report shows the financial and physical operation of the plant for the past year.
The receipts from the sale of gas increased about 10 per cent, and from electricity about 7 per cent, - a very healthy increase.
The expense of running the plant decreased about 5 per cent. Included in the expenditure was an overdraft of $2,280.09, and unpaid bills of $692.36.
We have made several changes and additions during the year at the plant. The more important ones are as follows :
All old, inefficient transformers have been replaced by those of newest type.
One bench of sixes has been altered and reset, making same half depth to conform with the other benches.
A 5-ton Fairbanks wagon scale has been installed.
The cylinders have been rebored and valves reseated on both engines.
The installation of a new switchboard as recommended,
which we hope to have in operation about March I, 1909.
The entire re-arrangement of the street lighting system, as recommended.
Our rolling stock has been increased by the purchase of a new line wagon, one second-hand Democrat wagon, and a new horse.
All the old wagons have been repaired and all the rolling stock is now in first-class condition.
The appropriation for the plant for the past year, as made in accordance with the state act, amounted to $19,000. From this, was paid the bond and note maturities, amounting to
268
$8,550, leaving a balance of $8,070.62, after taking into ac- count the overdraft and unpaid bills, as of Feb. 1, 1908, as against the unpaid bills and balance of general account as of Feb. 1, 1909, amounting to $2,379.38.
· Our street lighting system now consists of 50 arcs of 1,200 c. p. each, and 394 tungsten lamps of 40 c. p. each.
By apportioning the above amount of $8,070.62 in accord- ance with the current consumption and dividing by the number of lamps of each style, it gives the cost of each lamp for the year, i. e. :
Street arcs $48 33 9 72
Street inc.
In last year's report to the town, the Light Board recom- mended the installation of a complete gas producer and gas engine plant for generating electricity.
Further investigation since that time has confirmed and strengthened our belief that it would be both practical and profitable to make that change.
Last September the Light Committee of nine, appointed to investigate the lighting and manufacturing question, recom- mended that the town purchase all of the electric current from the Malden Electric Co. and shut down the generating machinery at the plant.
Many citizens have expressed themselves as opposed to the town entering into a contract to purchase all of its current, and many are also opposed to making the necessary large expenditure to install a new plant at this time. There is however a practical and inexpensive compromise between the two propositions.
The changes in the Street Lighting system, as voted in September, 1908, have been completed and are giving good satisfaction and have resulted in decreasing the load to such an extent that one engine is but partly loaded, while the other is overloaded.
Under present conditions it is impossible to divide the load otherwise. Both engines have been put in good condition and if the Town cannot or will not install a new modern
269
plant, we would recommend the following changes which would place the Electric Plant in good economical operating condition, result in better service and provide sufficient capacity to postpone the larger investment for about five years.
Changes as follows :
Discard the direct current dynamos and substitute one 90 or 100 K. W. 2,000 V. single phase, A. C. Generator, cost . $1,000 00 Discard the present, 1000-V., A. C. Generator and substitute a 50 K. W., 2000-V, single phase, A. C. Generator, cost 600 00
Discard present D. C. open arc lamps and substi- tute 15 enclosed A. C. 6.6 amp. arc lamps, cost 315 00 Install one 50-light constant-current transformer, cost 510 00
Install 3 machine panels to match new switch- board, cost 600 00
Total gross cost . $3,025 00
Credit from sale D. C. dynamos, 3 at $150 each $450 00
Credit from sale of A. C. Generator, junk value 90 00
Credit from sale of D. C. Arc lamps, 15 at $I 15 00
Total credits
$555 00
Total net cost of changes .
$2,470 00 .
In addition to the above credits we have found by inquiry that the day load, now purchased from Malden at 32c per K. W., can be purchased from a different source at a better price and no part of the cost of lines to obtain the same, will be paid by the town.
The changes as outlined above will standardize the electric
270
station, make it flexible and very economical as to division of load, and provide sufficient capacity for any increase in demand during the next five years. We also believe that if the above changes are made, the K. W. cost at the switch- board will be as low as the price that the Malden Electric Co. have submitted to the town.
Respectfully submitted,
WM. E. ARNOLD, FRED A. SWAIN, L. WALLACE SWEETSER, Wakefield Municipal Light Board.
