Report of the Municipal Light Board
To the Citizens of Wakefield :-
We furnish you herewith our 30th annual report of the operations of the Wakefield Municipal Light Plant for the year 1923. It is not the intention of the Board to present a detailed financial statement, that will be found in the Manager's report. We wish to state briefly a few of the more important facts of the past year's operations and present a few recommendations for the coming year.
ELECTRIC OPERATIONS FOR 1923.
This department has had an exceptionally prosperous year and the outlook for 1924 is extremely good. Owing to increased business and proper management we have been able to reduce the rate for electricity from 12c to 11c per K. W. H. this year, and still close the year's oper- ations with a comfortable margin. On or about April 1st, 1924 we are going to reduce the rate to 10c net per K. W. H. A comparison of the rates charged from January first, 1922 to the present time is interesting. On January first, 1922 the price charged was 15c gross and 13c net for prompt payment of bills. On March 1st, 1922 the price was reduced to 12c net and remained the same for the balance of the
year.
About April 1st, 1923
the
price
was
reduced
to
11c net per K. W. H. for prompt payment, and as stated before, we are in a position to reduce the rate again. We an- ticipate a still further decline after our new high tension system has been installed, and given a reasonable trial. You will notice therefore, that in two years time we will have reduced the electric rate a total of 3c per K. W. H. or about 23%. From our report of this year, it would appear to the average consumer, that we could make a larger re- duction in the rate than is contemplated at this time. The commissioners wish to be absolutely sure however, that our new system and increased business, make as good a showing in practical operation as they do on paper. We wish to give a few figures to show the increase in our elec- tric business from the year 1920 through 1923. Our total receipts for the year 1920 were, $76,298.29 and the price charged for current was 15c gross and 13c net. For the year 1921, the receipts were $91,531.15 and the price charged was the same. For the year 1922 the receipts were $100,741.84 and the price charged was 12c net. For the year 1923 the receipts were $117,960.74 and the price charged was 11c net. The busi-
189
REPORT OF MUNICIPAL LIGHT BOARD
ness has increased therefore about 50% in four years, and the rate has been reduced about 16% and will be reduced more on April 1st, 1924.
To sum up the electric business, we wish to state that this depart- ment is in first class shape in every way, and the future looks very good.
UNDERGROUND SYSTEM AND NEW SUB-STATION
The Board wishes to state at this time, that there is every indica- tion that both the new Underground High Tension line, and the New Sub-Station, will be completed and in operation about February 15th, 1924. We are endeavoring to complete our connection with the Hey- wood Wakefield Company by this date and will re-arrange our own cir- cuits and lines as soon thereafter as possible.
GAS DEPARTMENT
The gas department has also rounded out a successful year, closing its operations with a credit balance. A comparison of the prices charg- ed for gas over a period of the last three years is interesting.
1921 January to April, $2.20 per 1000 cu. feet. April 1st, 1921 to March 1st, 1922, $1.95 per 1000 cu. ft. March 1st, 1922 to the present time $1.70 per cu. ft.
The price of gas therefore has been reduced at a total of 50c per 1000 cu. ft., from the peak price of $2.20, or about 23%.
The amount of gas consumed and the total receipts of the depart- ment for 1921 are:
Consumed-49,129,000 cu. ft. Total receipts-$103,687.76 Price charged $2.20 (Jan. to April) 1.95 (April through Dec.)
1922
Consumed-56,446,200 cu. ft. Total receipts-$100,358.02 Price charged $1.95 (Jan. to March 1st.) 1.70 (March 1st. to Dec 31st)
-
190
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
1923
Consumed-62,347,700 cu. ft. Total receipts. $107,756.20 Price charged $1.70
You will notice from these figures that the receipts have not in- creased to any great extent. The consumption has increased about 25%, the price has been reduced 23%, and the margin of profit has been small. The board believes that the present price of $1.70 is about as low as we can manufacture and sell gas at this time.
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 1924
White Way Lights for Wakefield Square
The Board strongly recommends the extension of the present White Way through the Square to a point near the Rockery an Main Street. This calls for the placing of twelve double bracket lights. These lights could be placed at equal distances from Water Street to Yale Avenue on both sides of Main Street.
White Way Lights for the Common and Lakeside
The Board further recommends the installation of single standard White Way Lights from the entrance to the Common to the head of Lake Quannapowitt. We recommend 31 lights equally spaced.
White Way Lights for Albion Street.
The Board also recommends the installation of White Way Lights on Albion Street from Main to Harvard Square and from Albion Street to Chestnut Street on North Avenue. This job would require 20 units.
The commissioners believe that the approaches to, and the business center of an up to date town like Wakefield, should be properly' lighted. We believe that this project will meet with the approval of the towns- people and be a mighty good advertisement for the town.
The cost of these 3 projects will be paid by the Light Department through a bond issue to be retired by it as to principal and interest. The total cost of this plan we estimate to be about $10,000.
REPORT OF MUNICIPAL LIGHT BOARD
191
FINANCIAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The commissioners recommend a twenty year Bond issue of $45,000 for construction purposes, divided as follows :
White Way Lighting
$10,000.00
General Gas Construction
18,500.00
General Electric Construction
16,500.00
Total
$45,000.00
An itemized list of the proposed gas and electric construction work contemplated, will be found in the Managers' report.
The Main Arguments for a Bond issue are these :
1. A Bond issue does not effect the tax rate as the principal and interest are charged to and paid by the Department.
2. A Bond issue for a term of years, provides necessary working capital and by relatively small yearly payments of principal and inter- est enables the Department to safely consider a reduction in rates.
3. A Bond issue for Construction purposes allows the Department to place its Depreciation Fund in reserve as it is intended to be.

CONCLUSION
The commissioners in closing wish to thank the citizens for their cooperation this past year.
We wish to mention the resignation of Dr. Curtis L. Sopher and ex- tend to him in this report our thanks and appreciation for the fine and. untiring service which he rendered to the Board and to the town.
Very truly yours
Wakefield Municipal Light Board.
