WAKEFIELD JUNCTION PLOT


Negotiations were continued during the spring and summer with officials of the Boston & Maine Railroad, owners of the un- occupied land adjoining this plot, to co-operate with the board in using both plots as a public park. While all that was desired by this board was not accomplished, yet quite a satisfactory arrange- ment was effected, and operations were begun late in the season to grade, fill and plant with shrubbery this plot, and also laying out driveways and walks. While not completed, the expense so far will use up the $400 given by Mr. Round, and probably more, but the town will not be called upon for any appropriation for this purpose. When completed, this plot will be a valuable addition to our parks, as a resting place, but cannot be used as a playground. The care and maintenance will devolve upon the town, the expense of which will not be large; also a moderate outlay for settees.


278


In closing, we recommend that the town appropriate $1,740 for the maintenance of the parks for the coming year.

ANNUAL REPORT


OF THE


WAKEFIELD


Municipal Light Board


AND MANAGER


OF THE MUNICIPAL LIGHT PLANT


TOWN OF WAKEFIELD


280


Report of the Municipal Light Board


The Wakefield Municipal Light Commission presents herewith its twentieth annual report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1913 :


From an examination of the report of the Manager it will be seen that the light plant has had a successful year. The output of both gas and electricity has increased, and, notwithstanding the increase of the number of hours of street lighting, all bills in connection with the plant have been paid with the exception of $317.24, as against. $7,161.76 of unpaid bills of last year.


The Commissioners have held regular meetings on Tuesday eve- nings at the Town Hall. Additional special meetings have been held when necessary. These meetings are open to the citizens of the town at all times and any information in the possession of the Board will be given to the citizens on request. The Board is glad to receive suggestions and criticisms in the line of improve- ment of the service and economy.


It must be evident to all that the time is approaching when the question of the increased demand for electricity must be met by the Town of Wakefield, as the capacity of the present plant has its limit. Again, there can be no doubt but that a modern plant would materially reduce the cost of the manufacture of electri- city. In order to see if the capacity of the plant could be in- creased as well as the reduction of the cost of the electricity at the switch board, the following article was put in the Town War- rant of Nov. 10, 1913 :


"To see if the town will authorize its Municipal Light Com- missioners to make a contract to purchase all, or any, of its elec- tric current for a period not exceeding ten years if said Board of Commissioners deem it advisble."


The following vote was passed by the town :


" That the Municipal Light Board be authorized to discontinue the manufacture of electrical current in the town plant at their discretion and to purchase the full town supply from such source


281


and at such price as, in their judgment, seems best on a contract for a period of time not to exceed one year."


The Malden & Melrose Gas Light Co., having been granted a franchise for supplying Reading with gas and having made a con- nection with their gas plant in Malden through the town of Stone- ham on June 16, 1913, the town of Wakefield ceased permanently supplying Reading with gas. This temporary supplying of gas by Wakefield to Reading began on Sept. 28, 1912.


ELECTRICAL DEPARTMENT


In order to increase the efficiency of the boilers it was found necessary to reset them, which was done, and the result proved satisfactory The governors to the engines not working satisfac- torily, an expert connected with the McIntosh & Seymour Co., who built the engines, was sent for and, after careful investiga- tion, he reported that the governors were worn so badly that it would be economy to replace them with new ones and of a differ- ent type. 'This was done and it helped materially the efficiency of the engines. Other minor repairs have been made to the elec- trical plant. By reference to the figures in the report of the Manager, the increase in the output in electricity for the year may be obtained.


STREET LIGHTING


In the warrant for a town meeting, dated March 10, Article 21 was as follows :


" To see if the town will either raise and appropriate, or set aside from the regular Muncipal Light Plant appropriation, a suf- ficient sum of money to provide street lights all night."


Accordingly the following vote was passed :


" That the town raise and appropriate $1,200 for the purposes outlined by the article " Later in the spring an article was in- serted in the town warrant, dated May 5, in connection with this matter, and the Board was instructed to continue the lighting of the streets all night in accordance with moonlight schedule and such additional time as they may deem necessary.


By reference to the report of the Manager it seems that the lights were lighted 1,023 hours more in 1913 than they were in 1912.


282


In accordance with Article 3 of the town warrant, dated June 23, the Commissioners were authorized and directed to place all the electric light wires under ground in suitable conduits in that part of Main street, between Crescent and Water streets, and a sum not exceeding $4,000 was appropriated.


The matter of placing the feed wires of the Street Railway under ground was referred to the Municipal Light Commissioners and the Selectmen, and they were instructed to take the matter up with the Bay State Street Railway Co., and, if necessary, with the railroad commissioners.


The Bay State Street Railway Co., when the subject was brought to their attention, gave it immediate consideration and agreed to put their feed wires into conduits between Water and Albion streets and to the erection of modern iron poles between Water and Crescent streets. Doubtless later they will put the feed wires between Albion street and Crescent street into under- ground conduits.


In accordance with Article of the town warrant, dated Nov. 4, 1913, the sum of $1,500 was raised and appropriated for the purpose of completing the wiring of the conduit on Main street and installing necessary apparatus, including poles for street lighting on Main street between Water and Crescent streets.


There was a delay in the fall in this work, it being necessary to have poles for the lights of a special design ; but as soon as the poles are received, and the weather is suitable, the work will be pushed along to completion. The conduits are all laid and the wiring is the only thing necessary to complete this work.


New street lights have been installed on Hanson street, Park avenue, Franklin street, Traverse street (2), Frank street, Rockland street (2), Oak street, Bellevue road, Overlook road (4), Armory street (4), Madison avenue (2), Parker road, Crescent court, Albion street, Sweetser street, Main street (3), Cedar street, Pleasant street, Emerson street and Avon court.


POLE LINES


As a result of putting the feed wires of the street railway and the town wires in conduits on Main street, all of the wooden poles used by these parties, as well as those used by the telephone


283


company, will come down, as the telephone wires are all now in conduits in this section.


Many poles owned by the telephone company, and also used by the town, as well as poles owned by the town, have been replaced.


The poles on Elm street have been removed from the center of the road to a location satisfactory to those living on the street.


It is, and has been, the policy of the Board to put the electric lines in good condition as fast as possible and a result of this is evident in the comparative little trouble the town has had with the winter storms. It is contemplated to renew all the poles on Albion street from Main street to North avenue, having only one set of poles for the use of the street railway and the town. This will be done under agreement for a joint ownership of the poles by the street railway and the town.


GAS DEPARTMENT


The third and last bench of retorts has been renewed this year .. This bench was installed with an outside producer furnace, simi- lar to the other two benches. A reduction in the insurance rates has been obtained through the installaton of suitable fire doors between the boiler room and the making of other necessary changes.


As noted elsewhere in this report, gas was furnished to Read- ing from Jan. 1, 1913, to June 16, 1913. In 1912 the amount furnished to Reading averaged 137,280 cubic feet per month and had increased at the time it was discontinued to 230,000 cubic feet per month. The increase in the consumption in Wakefield is rapidly making up the loss but, until it does, the gas profit. will show the effect of the loss of consumption by Stoneham and Reading.


Acting under Article 4 of the town warrant, dated June 23, 1913, the Commissioners were directed to extend the gas main from the present end on Nahant street, near Farm street, through this street to Water street, then easterly through Water street and northerly from Water street, on Montrose avenue, to a point near the residence of N. F. Perkins. This was done and also other extensions were made, which can be found in detail in the


284


report of the Manager, under the heading, "Gas Main Exten- sions." In 1912 these extensions amounted to 7,705 feet; in 1913 to 10,398 feet.


The building in Wakefield in the future will be in sections more or less remote from the center of the town, and we believe it will be for the interest of the town to extend the gas pipes, as well as the electric wires, for the purpose of supplying gas and electricity to these sections as fast as desired.


A new modern Westinghouse pressure pump has been bought for the high-pressure gas system.


The amount of water gas and coal gas, made for the year, may be ascertained from the report of the Manager.


FIRE ALARM


Circuit No. 1 has been practically renewed with new wires and some work has been done on the other circuits. It will be the policy of the Commissioners to renew all of the circuits as fast as possibly consistent with the m mey available.


The following new boxes have been installed : Box, No. 51, corner of Vernon and Otis streets; Box, No. 56, junction of Salem and New Salem streets ; Box, No. 112 on Forest street.


The stand on which the fire-alarm battery is supported in the battery room at the light plant must be renewed, and, on ac- count of the many extensions to the fire-alarm systems, more . room is desirable. Accordingly, we recommend that new quar- ters be supplied for the battery and repeating apparatus con- nected with the fire-alarm system. This system should be in- stalled in a new permanent fire-proof building and whether at the Light Plant or at the Central Fire Station should be decided by the town.


NEW RATES


As had been intimated in previous reports, it has been the de- sire of the Commission to reduce rates. The loss occasioned by cutting off the supply of gas to Stoneham and Reading, the in- crease l cost of labor, crude oil, gas and steam coal, liability in- surance, etc., has not made it possible to reduce rates until now.


The receipts during the year 1913 have increased so much


285


more in proportion than has the cost of operating the plant, that the Commissioners believe that it is now possible to make a re- duction in rates to take effect on March 1, 1914. Accordingly, the rates for gas for domestic consumers has been placed at $1.40 per thousand and the cost of electricity at loc. per Kw., with the same discount for prompt payment for 20c. per thousand and 3c. per Kw. for electricity.


The net increase in gas made is 9% and the net increase in the revenue is 6.2%. The out ut of electricity increased 28.6% and the revenue increased 19.5%.


CONCLUSION


This is the first complete fiscal year that the Manager, Mr. S. L. Cole, has had charge of the plant, and the Board wishes to express their appreciation of the faithfulness and close applica- tion that he has given to his duties, and to express their appre- ciation to all of the employees of the plant who have worked har- moniously and faithfully to make the year one of successful operation of the plant for the benefit of the citizens of the town.

The unpaid bills of 1912, totaling $7,161.76, were not distrib- uted to their various accounts until paid for, and for that reason the year 1913 has suffered to the extent of these unpaid bills. If the actual expenses of 1913 were charged and no 1912 bills added, the gas manufacturing would show a net profit of approxi- mately $1,000.
