The net profit of the Department was $241,641.00 as compared to $258,- 047.11 in 1962. The sale of gas increased 4.07% and electricity 0.02%.
The balance in the Operating Fund was $304,101.02 as compared with $265,318.25 in 1962.
The sum of $165,000.00 was paid to the Town to be used in computing the tax rate for 1963. The total amount paid to the Town is $1,373,229.57.
The Manager's report including financial statements for the year are in- cluded in this report.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN MORLEY, Chairman JAMES B. WISWALL, Secretary EDWARD D. CONWAY
To the Board of Light Commissioners:

During the year we installed 73 new electric services and 23 transform- ers. We added a total of 86 new street lights, including 32 mercury lights on Chestnut St.
Our electric profit was reduced due to the rate reduction, effective April 1. The rate changes will result in annual savings to consumers of $80,000.00.
We received refunds of $28,000.00 from our gas supplier for price adjust- ments on gas we purchased from July 1957 through December 1962. The gas producers and transmission companies were obliged by the Federal Govern- ment to make the price adjustments and refunds.
