REPORT OF MUNICIPAL LIGHT BOARD
Report of Municipal Light Board
To the Citizens of the Town of Wakefield:
We submit herewith our Thirty-Third Annual Report which is for the year ending December 31, 1926.
The manager's report for the same period, including a detailed fi- nancial statement, the result of the year's operation and recommendations for the year 1927 you will find herein.
The Electric Department was operated for the year at a profit of $43,098.86. This profit is considerably less than that of 1925, but effec- tive June 1, 1926, the house lighting rate was reduced from 81/2 cents net per kilowatt hour to 71/2 cents net per kilowatt hour.
The Gas Department was operated for the year at a profit of $3,890.61. The manufacture of gas by the department was discontinued on December 9, 1926, and the purchase of all our gas from the Malden and Melrose Gas Light Company was started on. the same day. Detail figures for comparison purposes, of course, are not yet available as the arrangement has been in effect for less than a month.
.The Depreciation Fund, at the close of the year, amounted to $24,- 886.92 an increase of more than $10,000.00 as compared with December 31, 1925.
The Department has, during the year, replaced many small gas mains with mains of what we believe to be of adequate size to properly serve the consumers and we plan to continue this work in 1927 in addition to making what extensions as are found to be necessary.
We have notified the Board of Selectmen that the town will be given the street lighting service for 1927 at the same price as last year. That is $18,000.00 notwithstanding many new installations in 1926 and such as are made in 1927. This is the equivalent of a discount of approximate- ly 10% and is consistent with the reduction granted private consumers effective June 1, 1926.
Early in 1926 the books of the Department covering operations for
200
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
the year 1925 were audited by Charles E. Stanwood & Sons, Certified Public Accountants, and an audit for the year 1926 is now in process.
In order to keep pace with consistent growth of the Department, the Board plans to ask the Town as it did last year to authorize the transfer from Operation Fund to Construction Fund the sum of $31,795.30. This, with the sum of $4,419.53, the balance in the Construction Fund at the close of the year, together with such amounts as are necessary from the Depreciation Fund, we believe will care for new construction and re- placements for the Year 1927 and eliminate the necessity of borrowing money by bond issue.
It is interesting to note that the book value of the Plant as a whole as of December 31, 1926 is $646,664.08 with outstanding bonds of $192,- 500.00, a reduction of $15,000.00 during the year 1926, and current and accrued liabilities of $11,738.46 having a net book value of $442,425.62 free and clear, the property of the Town of Wakefield.
An important accomplishment of the past year, we believe, is the placing of White Way lighting on Lowell Street a much used thorough- fare.
The Board pledges itself to serve the Town to the best of its ability and asks for the co-operation of all the citizens of the Town.
Very truly yours,
MARCUS BEEBE, 2nd Chairman A. STANLEY NORTH, Secretary CURTIS L. SOPHER
Board of Commissioners Municipal Light Department.

REPORT OF MUNICIPAL LIGHT BOARD
WAKEFIELD MUNICIPAL LIGHT BOARD
Wakefield, Mass. January 15, 1927
Municipal Light Commissioners, Wakefield, Mass.
Gentlemen :
I present, herewith, the 33rd Annual Report of this department. The year just past has witnessed another of those changes, which has occured once before, of doing away with the manufacture of one of the commodi- ties which it dispenses. This past year the Town has voted to discontinue the manufacture of gas and purchase its entire output from the C. H .: Tenney Company's plant at Malden. Gas was officially turned on from the Tenney Company on December 9, 1926.
An inspection of the balance sheet will show that the department has total Assets of $646,664.08 Liabilities $536,671.32 leaving a Surplus of $109,992.76 as of December 31, 1926.
The commercial house lighting rate was reduced in April, effective June 1st, from 11 cents gross 81/2 cents net to 10 cents gross 71/2 cents net per kilowatt hour.
A scheme of renewal and extension of gas mains proposed at the beginning of the year has been carried out. Many small mains have been replaced with larger sizes and all extensions have been larger than here- tofore customary.
In anticipation of the increasing demand for gas in the high pressure districts, together with the necessity of having a stand by unit for the purpose, a 15" x 12" horizontal, single cylinder electrically driven com- pressor has been purchased from the Worthington Pump and Machinery Corporation.
Continuing the comprehensive scheme of street light study of two years ago, ornamental lights now surround the Common, Lowell Street between Main Street and Vernon Street, which have been lighted with 15 high power lights. This was made possible by changes made by the New England Tel. & Tel. Company in their main trunk lines north, per- mitting space on the poles for high voltage wires for the lighting circuits. In addition six lights of a similar kind and capacity have been placed on
202
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
Main Street, Greenwood District, giving satisfactory service to that civic center. In all, 69 street lights have been added to the lines this year making a total of 901 street lights of all kinds in use.
It is anticipated that a further extension of larger type lights will be continued in various sections of the town.
With the exception of the transformer manholes on Main Street and subway type transformers installed therein, no large extension of electric lines has been made. A new Constant Current Regulating Transformer for the street light circuits was installed at the Sub-station permitting larger loads to be carried on existing circuits.
The following is a condensed Financial Statement for the depart- ment for the year 1926:

209
REPORT OF MUNICIPAL LIGHT BOARD
approximately $40,000 in new work. No definite allocation of expendi- ture has been made but, extensions of gas mains at the head of the Lake, in Brook Avenue, Parker Road area, and renewals of the high pressure line reaching the Montrose district are under consideration.
The extension of the three-phase power lines to include a larger area of the manufacturing district as defined by the zoning plans of the Town Planning Board, the addition of approximately 25 larger type units to the electric lighting circuits, the replacement of existing underground lines in the Main Street business section, and the abandonment of aerial conductors on Main Street between Water Street and Richardson Street are under consideration for activities in the electric division.
The statistics and details of this report have been omitted, but if they are desired by any, they can be obtained at the office of the Muni- cipal Light Department.
COST OF OPERATING ELECTRIC HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES
All electric appliances are so marked by the manufacturer that a person can easily figure the cost of their operation.
Lamps are marked in watts, a 50 watt lamp, consumes 50 watts of electricity. In one hour it consumes 50 watt hours.
Electricity is sold by the kilowatt hour. A kilowatt hour is one thousand watt hours. Then a kilowatt hour is consumed when twenty 50 watt lamps are burning one hour or one 50 watt lamp is burning 20 hours. To find the cost of burning one 50 watt lamp one hour, divide the cost of one kilowatt hour of electricity by twenty. All electric light bills show the cost per kilowatt hour.
Electric irons, toasters, vacuum cleaners, fans, and other household appliances are marked in volts and amperes. Multiply these two figures together for the number of watts consumed by the appliances. For ex- ample; an electric iron marked "110 volts 5 amperes" uses 110x5-500 watts of current. In one hour it uses 550 watt hours, and with this in- formation the cost of operating the iron may be compiled as with the lamp.
I appreciate and am very grateful for the loyal support given me by the Board of Light Commissioners and the employees of the department and the citizens of Wakefield. all of whom are so largely responsible for the continued prosperity and success of this municipally owned public utility operated wholly for the convenience and welfare of the citizens of Wakefield.
Respectfully submitted,

Fire Alarm
-
January 20, 1927.
Municipal Light Commissioners, Wakefield, Mass.
Gentlemen:
The Fire Alarm System is in excellent operating condition. No new boxes have been installed this year, but several units were added to the battery circuits.
The largest item was the underground connection between the Cen- tral Fire Station in Wakefield and the Central Fire Station in Melrose for the purpose of mutual aid.
General maintenance of the Fire Alarm System and what became necessary to do for the Police Signal System comprised the remainder of the work of this department.
It is strongly recommended that a furtherance of the mutual aid sys- tem be extended to Reading with suitable apparatus added to that at the Central Fire Station to take care of this and the Melrose connection.
Seven new boxes of the non-interfering type will be needed for re- placements and new locations, and changes in the Fire Alarm Board at the Central Fire Station to place the system in more up-to-date conveni - ent shape for the Fire Department.
Respectfully submitted,
SAMUEL H. BROOKS,
Superintendent Fire Alarm
