ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
Municipal Light Board
AND MANAGER
OF THE
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
262
Report of the Municipal Light Board
The year just passed has been, at the Light Plant, one of com- pleting the reconstruction and reorganization begun in the year 1909, and of repairs.
The Water Gas set was completed and put into operation dur- ing the week ending March 26, 1910, and has been operated at such time as has been necessary and economical so to do. The capacity of the combined Water Gas and Coal Gas Plant is 350,000 cu. ft. in twenty-four hours. In this case six shifts of men would be necessary,-three for the Coal Gas and three for the Water Gas Plant. The Water Gas Plant has been operated only one shift in the twenty-four hours, and no extra help has been hired for this purpose. The fuel used has been coke from the Coal Gas benches. Coke has also been used under the steam boilers whenever it seemed advantageous, and we feel well satis- fied with the results. The largest output of gas in any one day was 161,200 on Dec. 30, 1910.
STONEHAM AND READING
The control of the Peoples' Gas & Electric Co. of Stoneham and Reading has been acquired by the parties who also control the Malden & Melrose Gas & Electric Co. The Town of Stoneham has confirmed the franchise of this company in Stoneham, and the Malden & Melrose Co. will doubtless be supplying this town with gas not later than July 1st next. The situation in Reading is de- pendent on the action of that town in connection with the report of their committee now having the lighting question for that town under consideration.
263
ELECTRICAL DEPARTMENT
During the year it became necessary to erect a new smoke stack of iron at a cost of $280.00. An iron roof was put on the boiler house to replace the wooden roof burned by fire, at a cost of $367.64, and minor repairs have been made to the engines, dynamos, exciters, etc.
The town suffered a loss when Mr. J. A. Sederquest, the engi- neer, and Mr. William E. Weare, the electrician, left its employ. Mr. Sederquest had been employed for seven years, and as his work was night work we can appreciate his desire for a change. Mr. Weare, who had been employed at the Plant for eleven years, was also offered a much more lucrative position, and the town could not expect him to decline it. Both of these men were very effi- cient in their work and let nothing stand in the way of giving to the town the best there was in them. The Commissioners appreciate the difficulty in finding at once men who have the experience and interest in our Plant, and who can fill their places. Doubtless the men who are now doing this work will in time become experi- enced and efficient, and the policy of the Board of creating good men by promotion and trial, is worthy of consideration.
STREET LIGHTING AND RATES
The law does not allow a municipality operating its Gas or Elec- tric Light Plant to make a direct appropriation for street lighting.
In the manager's report is found the statement of the assets and liabilities of the plant. The liabilities exceed the assets by $69,737.63. Included in the liabilities is every dollar that has been appropriated by the town for the payment of bonds and notes, maintenance, operating expenses, extensions, and improve- ments, not only on the gas and electrical department, but for the fire alarm system, since the latter has been under the control of the Municipal Light Board. If, during the past 16 years an ap- propriation had been made for street lighting the same as has been made for the rental of fire hydrants, this amount would not have been included in the liabilities, and the balance which is now on the loss side would be changed to the profit side, and be a very handsome amount. In other words the plant has received no
264
credit for lighting the streets during the past sixteen years. Di- viding this loss of $69,737.63 by sixteen years it would give the costs of street lighting $4,378.00. The going rate by a private company would, doubtless, have averaged at least $8,500.00 per annum. Notwithstanding the original high cost of acquiring the franchise and the plant, undoubtedly, it is now a good investment for the town.
The town appropriated from the tax levy last March $10,300 ($300.00 of which was for the salaries of the Commissioners), for operating the Electric Light and Gas Plant. The bond's and notes paid exceeded $10,000 by $1,105. The interest, $5,908.35, and all of the money for maintaining, operating, improvements, extensions and repairs came from the receipts from the consumers, except depreciation balance carried over from the previous year. We believe the cost of gas to the consumer is as low, if not lower, than any other place in the state, considering the distance from the seacoast, and the amount of gas consumed per annum. The cost of electricity is as low, if not lower, except for the most fa- vored communities, and it is a question whether the town as a whole would not suffer by a rate which private concerns are ready to make to those consumers who use electricity, when you con- sider the increase in our tax rate due to the increased cost for street lighting in our town. .
GAS DEPARTMENT
The installation of the Water Gas set necessitated the use of a second station meter. The old station meter which was re- placed by the new one last year was remade at a cost of $400 and is now as good as a new one for the purpose. Two gas benches were renewed in 1909, and it will be necessary to renew the third one this year. The percentage of loss of gas is large, and the Board is of the opinion that there are many gas meters in the houses which are running slow. A room has been fitted up in the place of the old office where these meters can be overhauled, re- paired and tested, and a gas meter prover has been purchased and installed at a cost of $132.30. The state gas tests which are made at various times in the year, and made without warning, have shown that the town is manufacturing a gas well above the
265
candlepower required, and of good quality. The tar which is a product from the Water Gas plant has very little commercial value. The experiment of using it on the streets as tried by the Selectmen in the Street Dept and which is in line with the latest method of street building seemed to be a success, but was not car- ried far enough to give an opportunity of arriving at a definite conclusion.
FIRE ALARM
Your Board realizes the importance of keeping the fire alarm system as efficient as possible. All ordinary repairs have been made as promptly as possible. A motor generator set has been installed for the purpose of charging the batteries. The batteries have been placed on glass strips and renewed when necessary. The following old boxes have been replaced with new ones : Nos. 12, 15, 26, 36, 41. Also a non-interfering box has been put in the place of old No. 35, and two new boxes established, No. 5 and No. 38. A private box No. 223 has been installed in the Harvard Knitting Mill at no cost to the town except for cost for outside work. Indicators have been installed in the Greenwood Hose house and the Volunteer Hose house.
REAL ESTATE
Necessary repairs been made to the real estate. An iron cover- ing has been put on the coal shed on the side toward the railroad and the north end. The slate has been repaired, and the interior of the shed has been planked in such a way as to prevent the weight of the coal from forcing out the sides of the building.
OFFICE
The repairs necessary to put the old court room in the town hall in condition for use for an office have been made and such neces- sary furniture purchased. The system of book-keeping recom- mended by Mr. Masury, the expert accountant, employed by the Board has been put into operation, and a stock room and a system of stock-keeping has been installed. The Bookkeeping Dept. under the efficient care of Miss Maud V. Howard, assisted by Mrs. Mar- garet Nutt and Miss Mary Smith, was able to get out the State
266
Report required in September and the Town's report required early in January, 1911, without any extra assistance in the office, notwithstanding the increase in the regular work due to the in- crease of consumers in both departments. The increase in the gas receipts has been 4.59 per cent. and the increase in the re- ceipts from electrical consumers has been 22.9 per cent.
Your Board have willingly devoted much time to the manage- ment of the Plant and to the perplexities which must constantly arise in the manufacture and distribution of gas and electricity. In the electrical department the amount of electricity required at the time of the annual peak load is about all that our present equipment can supply Your Board is in hopes to make such minor changes which will carry us over this time for 1911 (which comes at the last part of the year) but realize that the town at an early date must face the problem of the future of the electrical department. The Board feels that the longer this can be deferred the longer can the financial burden incident to this be deferred and made lighter. We wish to acknowledge the faithfulness and care which Mr. A. B. Morton, manager of the Plant has given to the town as well as that of Mr. McLaughlin, foreman of the Gas Dept., and all others who have been employed during the past year. The town is very fortunate in having a body of employees who feel a true interest in the successful operation of our Gas and Electric Light Plant.
