The analysis of the filtered water by Weston & Sampson, Engineers for the Water Department, indicates that the filters are operating efficiently. No money has been expended for repairs on this plant which was put in operation in 1928.
It was found necessary to replace the chlorinating apparatus located on the inlet brooks to Crystal Lake.
During the month of August the water level in Crystal Lake had dropped to a point where it seemed advisable to provide additional supply. After con- sultation with Weston & Sampson it was decided to drive twelve additional wells, making a total of twenty-eight. These wells were operated for a period of three months, after which time the lake had returned to its normal level.
The cost of water pumped from these wells was considerably less than that from the main station. Considerable valuable data was obtained relative to the probable yield of this supply.
The department has replaced old cement lined pipe with iron pipe in the following streets:
Center Street.
North Avenue, from Church Street to the Wakefield Coal Supply Company Office.
Mechanic Street.
Crescent Street, from Center Street to Mechanic Street.

REPORT OF WATER AND SEWERAGE BOARD
Lake Quannapowitt has received its usual care and attention, copper sul- phate having been applied on the following dates: June 6, 1932, July 29, 1932. We recommend that this treatment be continued.
.
The Board again recommends that no further sewer extension be made until a proper survey has been made of the unsewered section of the town.
The Superintendent's report which follows gives in more detail information as to construction, improvements and so forth, which will be of interest to the Town.

TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
Report of Municipal Light Board
To the Citizens of the Town of Wakefield:
We herewith submit the thirty-ninth annual report of the Municipal Light Board, which covers the year ending December 31, 1932.
Annexed to this report, you will find the report of the Manager of the Plant, which includes statements showing financial condition of this Department, as of December 31, 1932 and of its operations for the year.
The Gas Department was operated at a profit of $13,823.18 as compared with $20,553.17 for 1931. The decrease in profit is due to the reduction in the net rate from $1.50 to $1.45 per M. C. F., which became effective March 1, 1932 and to the decrease in the amount of gas sold, the decrease being approximately 3,300,000 cubic feet.
The Electric Department was operated at a profit of $30,472.37 as compared with $48,001.30 for 1931. The decrease in the profit of this Department is also due to the decrease in rates to all classes of consumers and to the decrease in the amount of electricity sold, particularly in respect to Commercial Power consumers.
The amount that we are asking the Town to appropriate for street light- ing for 1933 is $18,000.00, which is the same as has been appropriated for the past six years. The amount asked is, we believe, considerably less than that which would be asked by a privately operated company, and as a matter of fact we are selling the Town energy for this purpose somewhat below the average delivered cost, as defined by the General Laws.
The amount of cash in the Operation Fund as of December 31, 1932 is $31,687.59 as compared to $57,543.89 in 1931. The decrease is due to the de- crease in our sales, the difficulty in collecting some outstanding accounts, and a slight increase in our Operation Expenses, because of the fact that the Depart- ment assumed the maintenance of the Fire Alarm and Police Signal Systems.
We propose to ask the town at its annual meeting to authorize a transfer of this balance, $31,687.59, to our Construction Fund, in order that we may make the necessary extensions and improvements so that we may give to the citizens the best possible service at the lowest possible rates, for both gas and electricity.
The books of the Department are being audited by C. O. Huntington and Company, Certified Public Accountants.
Respectfully submitted,
MARCUS BEEBE, 2nd, Chairman, A. FRANCIS HARRINGTON, Secretary, CURTIS L. SOPHER,
Board of Commissioners, Municipal Light Department.

REPORT OF MUNICIPAL LIGHT BOARD
To the Board of Light Commissioners,
Town of Wakefield, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen:
It is with considerable pleasure that I again hand you my Annual Report of this Municipal Department, for the fiscal and calendar year ending Decem- ber 31, 1932.
Every year since the establishment of this Department (1894) has seen an increase in the cubic feet of gas and the kilowatts of electricity sold, and conse- quently a constantly increasing income. Nothwithstanding the depression we have a substantial profit on both gas and electricity at rates comparable with any in the neighborhood.
GAS DEPARTMENT
The net sales of this department were $129,316.44, the operating expenses $114,343.90 and a net income of $13,823.18.
ELECTRIC DEPARTMENT
The net sales of this department were $177,911.10, the operating expenses $143,562.08 with a net income of $30,472. 37.
BONDED DEBT
This item for the entire plant is now $111,500.00 having been reduced by $12,500.00 this year.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Plant investments and general equipment have been increased $32,472.21 of which the greater part is the extension of underground electric conduit.
Gas main extension has been small compared with that of two and three years ago. Much of the work being the completion of circuits, so that by means of valves, a section may be cut off for emergency without shutting off the entire district.
A new main was laid in Mt. Pleasant Avenue from Nahant Street southerly and an extension of main in Montrose Avenue from existing line to Salem Street. The Center Street main has been replaced with larger pipe and relocated, and all house services replaced with increased size.
The program of a year ago has been continued in the extension of electric underground duct lines, extending the existing lines in Chestnut Street from Main Street to Prospect Street and Park Avenue from Chestnut Street to the Stone- ham line.
Underground service connections have been made with all residences and business places in Foster Street from West Water Street to Albion Street, in Albion Street from Main Street to North Avenue and in North Avenue from
120
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
Richardson Avenue to Chestnut Street, so that this section of the town is served electrically by underground lines, except for some so called back lot construction by the New England Telephone Company.
This year the Federal tax on "Electrical Energy" has been assessed at 3% of the face of the bill, with few exceptions, this tax has been a part of your bill since August and return has been made each month to the Collector of Internal Revenue.
