REPORT OF FOREST WARDEN


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :


Gentlemen-Your forest warden submits the following report for the year ending December 31, 1928 :


Total number of fires responded to, 25.


The cost of extinguishing this year has been comparatively low, owing to the prompt response of the various companies, for which we take this opportunity of thanking them.


We are very much pleased to report a great reduction in the number of fires this year due largely, we believe, to the co-opera- tion of the townspeople in removing fire hazards.


"Burn up that brush pile and the dead grass along the high- way at the proper time and save property, time, and anxiety later on. Call on your forest warden if you want assistance ; he may be able to help you."


Very few people are taking advantage of the fact that they can purchase trees from the State nurseries for re-foresting at a very reasonable price. We wish more would do so. Your forest warden has information regarding prices, etc.


In closing I beg to recommend that the sum of $500 be appro- priated for the extinguishing of forest fires and an additional sum of $500 be appropriated for the purchase of three-quarter inch canvas hose, which can be used from our pumping engine for forest fires. Much time and labor can be saved by using this smaller hose and consequently better results can be obtained.


Respectfully submitted, ALAN B. FROST,


Forest Warden.

REPORT OF ELECTRIC LIGHT COMMITTEE


At the annual town meeting, March 12, 1928, it was voted : That the selectmen be authorized to make a new contract for electric street lighting for the best advantage of the town. Also that the selectmen be authorized to appoint a committee of three, one from each precinct, to assist them in the investigation of such new contract and that the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars be appropriated to cover any necessary expense incurred.


Acting under this vote the selectmen appointed Mr. Stuart Allen, Mr. Arthur Blanchard and Mr. Frederick Burke to assist in this investigation. The chairman of the board of selectmen, Howard Billings, was elected chairman of this committee.


It became apparent at once upon consideration of this pro- blem that we could only act on street lighting under this vote, but your committee decided that before entering into a new agree- ment for street lighting, it would be well to make a study of our house lighting rates, as well as our street lighting rates, as com- pared with other towns similarly situated. We first obtained a list of the number of customers in Acton, and the total amounts paid by each in 1927, which was as follows :


Customers paying :

$10 but under $11

As you will no doubt recall during the spring of 1928, many public utility companies were investigated by the Department of Public Utilities and forced to cut their electric lighting and power rates. We obtained the new rates of several of these companies and the following is a typical example of these rates :


Investment charge. This pays for no electricity; 80c per month for home-floor area of 1,000 square feet, or less ; plus 7c per 100 square feet of floor area over 1,000 square feet, plus an elec- tricity charge of 61/2c per K. W. H. for the first 50 K. W. H., or hours per month, and 41/2c per K. W. H. for all electricity over 50 K. W. H. per month. Discount, 1/2c per K. W. H. on or before discount date on the bill.


In studying these rates, of which the above is an average example, including the Edison Company rates, it became apparent that 299 out of our 725 customers would pay more for their elec- tric lighting with these rates than they are now paying. Such a charge would benefit the larger users of current in our town, but react to the disadvantage of those families who find it necessary to economize on lighting, which obviously would not be a desirable change.


Our street lighting rates were found to compare favorably with those of other towns buying electricity from public utility companies, but are higher than the published costs of lighting in towns like Littleton, where the town owns the equipment and buys its power at the source.


Under the law we as a town have a right to buy the equip- ment at its appraisal value and go into the electric lighting business, but in so doing much of the equipment in our homes as well as on the transmission lines would be a total loss in changing to 60-cycle current.


This is the second or third time a committee has been appointed by the town of Acton to investigate the electric light or electric current situation. None of these committees have accomplished a great deal, although this last committee did not have as much authority as the others, because this last committee had only to do with the street lighting situation.


It is the opinion of this committee that no future committee can accomplish a great deal, because of the use of 40 cycles in our territory; therefore, your committee recommends that a perma- nent committee be appointed with authority to act at the opportune moment in forming a municipal company to furnish the town of Acton with electric current under 60-cycle operation.


We realize that such action will make a higher rate both for the town and the consumers in the town for a period of years, but


83


in the end it will save money for all concerned for the reason that every piece of apparatus used with a 40-cycle current costs any- where from 10 to 25% more than the 60-cycle apparatus, and the longer such action is put off the greater will be the cost of the change, because of the greater load as time goes on.


Again, with 60-cycle current, there is a possibility of compe- tition in existing rates and points of supply, while with the 40-cycle situation there is no competition and the public utilities is the only factor that holds the situation in check, and that can be considerably camouflaged because of the interlocking of costs with those of the Maynard electric light supply and the American Woolen Mills.


This last mentioned phase of our electric lighting problem is one which should be given serious consideration by the town.


After several meetings, at which the foregoing details were discussed, your committee met with the officials of the American Woolen Company, in an effort to obtain a better street lighting rate, if possible, before entering into a new contract.


The company officials were firm in their refusal to reduce rates and said that they were willing to go before the Public Utilities, if necessary, to justify their present rates. In conse- quence of this interview we asked the American Woolen Com- pany to furnish us street lighting for a year from the expiration of the old contract, according to the terms of that contract, in order that we might bring the whole matter before the town at our next annual town meeting. In reply to this request Mr. Ram- sey, acting for the American Woolen Company, wrote the following letter :


(Copy)


August 9, 1928.


Mr. H. J. Billings, Chairman,


Board of Selectmen, Town of Acton,


Acton, Massachusetts.


Dear Mr. Billings-The company are willing to comply with your original request made about the time of the expiration of your lighting contract, that street lighting be furnished the Town of Acton for a year from the expiration of the old contract without the formality of signing a new one.


The rates will be those which have been approved by the Department of Public Utilities. The service will be the same as under the previous contract, except that we will cause the lights to be lighted fifteen minutes after sunset instead of at sunset, which will be the new arrangement at Maynard. As the lights are on the same circuit, it will be difficult to handle them separately for Acton.


We will make any reasonable extensions or removals in connection with this street lighting but, should the


84


town decide to use ornamental street lighting or ask an unreasonable extension of the lines for several lights, we would expect you to sign a contract, which would result in the company getting its money back on this particular portion of the street lighting system. Any ordinary extensions or slight changes we shall be very glad to make at your request.


It is our belief that this arrangement will be mutually satisfactory.


We accepted this arrangement for one year and the select- men will be guided by your action at this annual meeting as to whether this arrangement should be continued or other action taken.


The selectmen wish to thank Mr. Allen, Mr. Blanchard and Mr. Burke for their valued assistance in this investigation.


Respectfully submitted,


HOWARD J. BILLINGS,


Chairman.


MIDDLESEX COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE


The town of Acton appropriated $300 in support of the Middlesex County Extension Service through the trustees for County Aid to Agriculture for 1928. The following is a report of the work accomplished during the year.


In agriculture five poultry meetings were held, with an attendance of 254. One meeting on the subject of soils and crops with an attendance of sixteen, and two dairy meetings for Acton and surrounding towns were held, with an attendance of seventy- three. A pruning meeting for the interest of orchard men was held on the farm of C. E. Willett, with an attendance of eighteen. All farmers interested in poultry, dairying, and orcharding received circular letters during the year, giving timely sugges- tions. At the time of the Acton fair, judges were furnished for several of the departments and also an exhibit was put on; show- ing some of the recommendations that were being made to assist farmers. Eighty-four individual farm visits were made during the year on request to help with different problems.


In homemaking a total of eighty-six women attended the groups that were held. These groups held their meetings in North Acton, South Acton and West Acton. Mrs. Alden Flagg is


85


the president in the North Acton unit; Mrs. John Holland, vice- president; Mrs. Andrew Phillips, secretary; Mrs. Stuart Allen and Mrs. Charles Willett are the leaders. In South Acton, Mrs. Carl Flint is the president; Mrs. Elwyn Harris, vice-president ; Mrs. Elwin Young, secretary; Mrs. Walter Tucker and Mrs. Charles Reiner, leaders. In West Acton the groups have been conducted at the Neighborhood club meetings. Leaders for this group are Mrs. William J. Scanlon and Mrs. Ada M. Durkee.


A series of five home improvement meetings were held in each of these communities. As a result, homemakers have reported that many improvements in kitchens have been made, which include the re-arrangement of equipment to save steps, better cupboard and storage space, re-finishing of floors, walls, ceilings, and woodwork, and the raising of tables and sinks to the heights of the worker.


The nutrition program consisted of a series of four meetings. The homemakers report that their meal planning problems have been simplified and that they now realize the healthful value of milk, fruits, vegetables, whole grain products, and water.


The homemakers in these units have passed on what they have learned to 247 others who could not attend the meetings.


This fall, these units are carrying on a clothing program of four meetings to discuss line and design in dress and short-cuts in garment finishes.


In boys' and girls' 4-H club work, ninety-two were enrolled in garden, canning, poultry, food, and clothing clubs. Mrs. R. Stoney, Mr. Charles Edney, and four junior leaders assisted in the work. James Edney represented the county at Camp Field, Brockton fair. Annie Bulette won honorable mention in the cotton school dress contest for the county. Porter Jenks, Annie Bulette and David Young were awarded a two-day trip to the Massachusetts Agricultural college for doing outstanding club work.


Assistance was given the Acton fair in putting on the Boys' and Girls' club exhibit.


Eight educational motion picture shows were given in the town to a total attendance of 1225.


In addition to the local work mentioned above, the citizens of the town had an opportunity to attend the county-wide meet- ings in the interest of various phases of agriculture and home- making.
