TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
It will be noted that the Operating Account Gas and the Operating Account Electric, are identical with the exception that the State Requirement shows the Depreciation Account on Plant Equipment in each case where as the previous methods used, the Depreciation has always been carried in the Profit and Loss Statement.
If this had been maintained in this report, our Operating Account Gas would show an Operating Profit of $944.34.
COST OF GAS IN HOLDER
The cost of gas in holder is . $77,455.06
The gas manufactured during the year amounted to 69,172,000 cubic feet, making the average cost of gas in the holder about $1.12 per 1000 cubic feet.

REPORT OF MUNICIPAL LIGHT BOARD
The electricity delivered to the consumers amounted to 1,065,791 kilowatt hours, so that the cost of electricity delivered to the consumers was 6.904+ cents.
PRICE OF GAS
The price of gas from January to March was $2.20 per 1000 cubic feet, dis- count 25c per 1000, making a net price of $1.95 per 1000 cubic feet. After March first, the following schedule was adopted.
Gas was reduced to $1.70 per 1000 cubic feet without discount, bills payable in thirty days. This price is maintained to date.
PRICE OF ELECTRICITY
At the beginning of the year, the price of electricity for lighting was 15c per kilowatt hour with discount of 2c per kilowatt hour for prompt payment. On March first, the rate was changed so that the rate became 12c net.
POWER SCHEDULE
The monthly charges consist of two amounts: first, a service charge of 50c per month per horsepower of connected load; and second, a current charge of --
8 cents per kilowatt hour for the first 100 kilowatt hours.
6.5 cents per kilowatt hour for the next 300 kilowatt hours.
5.5 cents per kilowatt hour for the next 1,000 kilowatt hours.
4.5 cents per kilowatt hour for the next 3,000 kilowatt hours.
3.5 cents per kilowatt hour for the next 10,000 kilowatt hours.
2.5 cents per kilowatt hour for all additional kilowatt hours.
The minimum charge was the service charge, but in no case less than $1.00.
A discount of 10 per cent. was allowed on bills, except minimum bills, if pay- ment was received at the office of the Department, within fifteen days of date of bill.
PLANT
As has been previously stated in other reports, the word "plant," includes all fixed assets, the land, buildings, machinery and equipment, mains, services, gas meters, lines, transformers, electric meters and street lights; that is, "it includes both the plant proper, or the works, together with the distributing systems."
COAL GAS BENCHES
The coal gas bench No. 3 has been refilled, the contract was given to the Rus- sell Engineering Company, St. Louis Mo., for $1,670.00. The work was finished in July at a total cost of $1,960.13.
188
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
A second contract was made, after a competition of proposals, to the same company, (Russell Engineering Company), in the latter part of December, coal bench No. 2 is to be refilled. This bench is badly burned out. This work will be done in the early part of the year 1923.
GAS COMPRESSOR
For years, the gas which is distributed by means of the high pressure sys- tem, was compressed to 15 or 20 lbs. pressure per square inch by Westinghouse Air Brake Compressors. These have long been inadequate and very uneconomi- cal. They have been placed as stand-by machines and a Gardner-Riggs com- pressor has been installed which is proving exceedingly good and economical, both as to price and operation. The contract price was $1,057.48.
BOILER BLOW-OFF
The boiler blow-off is very badly designed and is about worn out. It should be replaced by a new one, and the latter should be designed to reduce the velocity of discharge and should be placed in a new location in the yard. Such a blow- off could propably be installed for $500.00
WATER· GAS SET
Both water-gas sets were in continuous use during the past year, no changes having been made excepting the completion of the water-gas house at a cost. of $228.00. The old exhauster in the water-gas house has been replaced by a. new and larger unit at a cost of $837.20.
BLOWER
The old blower which was steam driven, expensive, and inadequate, has been replaced by a steam turbine unit, direct connected. This replacement cost $1,507.00. This blower, and the electrically operated blower, one acting as a stand-by for the other, are very efficient, and ample for all requirements.
OIL TANKS
Water gas is primarily blue gas, enriched by the addition of gas oil. The plant never has had adequate storage capacity for such oil and it was incapable many times of taking advantage of prices. The original tank had a capacity of 17,000 gallons. An opportunity came for the purchase of a 14,000 gallon tank for $531.00, and two other tanks, one having a capacity of 7,000 gallons, the other of 3,200 gallons, these were purchased for the sum of $200.00.
COAL HOIST
A coal hoist such as has been installed with the new water-gas set, should be installed for the old water-gas set. This will cost about $400.00.
189
REPORT OF MUNICIPAL LIGHT BOARD
SETTLING TANK
A settling tank arranged with baffle plates to retard the flow of water, oil, and tar from the water-gas sets should be installed to prevent further contami- nation of Lake Quannapowitt. This could probably be done for about $1.500.00.
MAINS
During the year we increased the length of our mains by 22,779 feet at a cost of $13,723.00.

GAS SERVICES
We installed during the year 1922, 105 gas services to consumers at a cost of $1,020.47.
I90
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
GAS METERS
At the beginning of the year, there were 2,854 gas meters. During the year we installed two consumers, 113 gas meters, making a total in use as of Decem- ber 31st, 1922, of 2,967. We had during the year, 635 prepayment meters changed to regulars. There were 144 new gas meters bought at a cost of $1,577.19.
OVER-HEAD LINES
We installed 128, 536 feet of wire at a cost of $11,915.41. A proposed change from our present low tension service to high tension service would necessi- tate a re-arrangement of some of our present circuits and a probable addition of services.
ELECTRIC PLANT
The electric plant, so called, consists of the switchboard, station wiring, street lighting transformers and feeder regulators. The proposed extension of lines will necessitate the building of a new sub-station with additional transformers and regulators, remote control switching apparatus, for which it would be neces- sary to ask for an additional bond issue of some $15,000.00.
TRANSFORMERS
At the beginning of the year, we had 221 transformers in use, but during the year, owing to the increase of consumption, of electricity, we were obliged to take down some small transformers and replace them with larger ones so as to accommodate the load.
ELECTRIC METERS
At the beginning of the year, we had 1,964 meters in use. We installed dur- ing the year, 390 meters to new consumers, making a total in use as of Decem- ber 31st, 2,354 meters. We also purchased during the year 450 new electric meters at a cost of $3,724.14.
STREET LIGHTS
At the beginning of the year there were 651 street lights in use. During the year we installed 28 new street lights at a cost of $1,261.91.
The cost of street lighting to the town in 1922 was $14,671.00. The method pursued during the past year was to bill the town for the actual cost of light- ing these lamps.

During the past year the use of electricity by the town has increased over 27%, and the service rendered by the Edison Electric Illuminating Company of Boston, from the Woburn sub-station, has reached its limit by the method now in use, that is by low tension service, so called on aerial wires.
The management was in correspondence with one of the larger manufactur- ing concerns of the town early in the year, with a view to giving greater ser- vice. The matter was taken up by the commissioners with the Edison Com- pany with the result that the above company is willing to make an investment of some $130,000.00 to bring high tension service to the town line, in dupli- cate cables and underground, this is to be met by the town with similar construc- tion, estimated to cost approximately $50,000.00.
The above has been explained in the press and on the floor at the special town meeting when a bond issue to insure this construction was granted the Board.
It is anticipated that the service will be improved very much after the com- pletion of the proposed conduit line, and that there will be an increased sav- ing to the town on the cost of purchased current.
A bond issue last year for $45,000.00 for construction purposes, made possible much improvement in the Plant, and the following shows how the construc- tion fund of 1922 was expended:

REPORT OF MUNICIPAL LIGHT BOARD
Fire Alarm System
During the year, no advance on the circuits was made, only necessary re- pair and supervision was made from time to time for the reason that there was an increased call upon the electric business in the matter of extension of lines and services throughout the town.
The largest single addition was the installation of the Fire Alarm System to the new High School. A new tape machine has been installed at the cen- tral station, and wire for rewiring circuit No. 1 has been bought.
The following work should be done:
Circuit No. 1 should be rewired and relocated on the poles.
Circuit No. 4 should be rearranged at Forest Street, Greenwood, to bring the loops into the switchboard at the Fire Station in the Greenwood district.
A new whistle machine should be bought and installed at the Gas Works. It is estimated that these jobs and items of maintenance will cost $2,400.00.
