A new constant current transformer was purchased and installed at an expense of $510, the engine and dynamo room renovated and painted, besides many minor changes and repairs. To make these changes and still keep the town supplied with current is highly creditable to the head of the electrical department, William E. Weare, and the engineer, James A. Sederquest.


The old contract under which the Town purchased its day cur-


222


rent of a private corporation having expired, your Board concluded „ a two-year agreement with the town of Reading through its Light- Board at a better rate and on better terms than under the former contract, the annual rate for Non-Peak current being, for the first 35,000 Kilowatt hours, three cents, and all further current, two cents. Peak current, unlimited in amount, three cents.

A minimum charge based on the rated Horsepower of motors will be made of 75c. per H.P. on from 1 to 3 H.P. inclusive, and 50c. per H.P. on all larger motors.


GAS DEPARTMENT.


A new gas holder to contain 100,000 cubic feet of gas was erected on the site of the old holder house, the building and ring of which had to be removed for the purpose. The foundation for the new holder was put in by the management of the Plant and is a thoroughly satisfactory job. The steel work was furnished and erected by Davis & Farnum, and does that firm full credit. The entire expense of the holder, foundations and all preliminary work, was $12,932.39. In connection with the new holder a street governor was required, the cost of which, with all connect- ing piping, was $608.90.


A new station meter of sufficient capacity for the future needs of the Plant was bought, with the necessary valves and piping, at an expense of $682.41. The replacement of much of the old gas pipe by new mains, as ordered by the town at the beginning of the year was carried out, parts of this work proving very difficult because of the great depth at which the pipes required to be laid.


223


The expenditure on these replacements amounted to $6,782.47. Thirty feet of stone retaining wall was constructed to hold the railroad embankment and give increased yard room.


We were forced to renew the retorts in two of the gas benches and rebuild the furnace in the third at an expense of $1,496.95.


Many minor changes were made in the gas department, includ- ing a new tar pump, enlargement of the retort. house by the removal and rebuilding of its west wall, construction of a passage- way from theretort house to the coal shed, etc.


The Town at the fall meeting ordered your Board to purchase and install a Water Gas Set. This has been contracted for, the building is in process of erection and the set should be in opera- tion by the beginning of spring.


The execution of the vast amount of work in this department, indicated above, in addition to supplying the largest gas demand in the history of the works, reflects the greatest credit on the head of this department, Patrick McLaughlin.


FIRE ALARM.


A repeating box was installed in the Central Fire Station, thereby giving the Fire Engineers the power to ring any box num- ber from the engine house. In compliance with the vote of the fall meeting we have purchased an indicator for the Volunteer Hose House and also one for the Greenwood Hose House, and seven new fire alarm boxes to replace an equal number that are worn out. A set of storage battery cells, also a replacement, and suffi- cient wire to renew one fire alarm circuit. This apparatus will be installed as fast as it is received and will much improve the ser- vice in this department.


REAL ESTATE.


A large number of repairs have been made in the real estate, the buildings entirely repainted, the roofs repaired, glass replaced, etc.


OFFICE.


Because of the increasing business of the Plant, your Board requested the Town. at the fall meeting, to provide suitable quar-


224


ters in the Town Hall for the Light Plant Office. This request was granted and a portion of the " old court room " is being fitted up for this purpose. This change will be a great benefit to the Department, and an undoubted convenience to the public.


An expert accountant is now at work simplifying and improv- ing our system of book-keeping, and also providing for the estab- lishment of a stock system, the absence of such a system in the past rendering a true and accurate statement of the Department's business almost impossible.


These changes in the office and accounting will, we believe, tend to relieve to a certain degree the severe labor that has fallen to the part of our very efficient head book-keeper, Miss Maud V. Howard.


We would call attention to the fact that the fiscal year contains · only eleven calendar months, and in making comparisons between this report and the reports of other years this fact should not be lost sight of.


In spite of the fact that such an amount of extraordinary work has been performed at the Plant the manufacture of gas has in- creased at the rate of about six per cent. and the sales of electric- ity at about twenty per cent. Upon the completion of the im- provements now provided for the Town will own one of the best Gas Plants of its size in New England, and an Electric Plant that may be run at small expense until the demands upon it exceed its capacity.


That so much has been accomplished in a time so short is due in large measure to the efficiency of the Manager of the Plant, A. B. Morton, whom your Board is pleased to commend.

A net profit $3,184 60 The seeming discrepancy between report of net earnings Jan. 31, 1909, and Dec. 31, 1909, is explained by the following facts :


First. The present year's earnings cover but eleven months, with the month of largest receipts and smallest expenses omitted. (January, 1910. )


Second. An expense charge of "Repairs real estate," $1,271.50, covers repairs and improvement of buildings at Plant.


Third. An expense charge of "Repairs on benches," $1,496.70, covers repairs of gas benches.


The above charges include several years use, and justly should be distributed over that period, instead of entire amount against the present year. It has been deemed advisable that the above should show as an expense against this account rather than else- where as extraordinary expenditures.


Fourth. A mistake in coal inventory Jan. 31, 1909, occurring through taking into inventory coal that was paid for in succeeding months, owing to custom of carrying over unpaid bills $1,714.35.


Eliminating the foregoing from these charges (for comparison) it is obvious that the net earnings would be quite in accord with previous reports and estimates.
