At the hearing before the Department of Public Utilities, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on the petition as before-men- tioned, particular mention was made by your committee and agreed to by the Edison Electric Illuminating Company of Bos- ton that, at the time of change from 40 cycle to 60 cycle electric current, all apparatus designed to be used on 40 cycle current would be changed to apparatus suitable for 60 cycle current at the expense of the Edison Electric Illuminating Company of Boston.
Since taking over the business of the American Woolen Company, however, the Edison Electric Illuminating Company reserved the privilege of passing on the reasonableness of the cost of changing any apparatus from 40 cycle to 60 cycle before such installation is made.
It was the original intention of the Edison Electric Illumin- ating Company of Boston to serve Maynard and Acton with electric current by way of Saxonville to Maynard, but since that time, the situation of furnishing the Town of Concord with elec- tric current came up.
From the point of view of the Edison Electric Illuminating Company, the business of the Town of Concord was desirable because in acquiring the towns of Maynard and Acton, their service completely surrounded the Town of Concord and the work of serving Acton and Maynard from Saxonville was held up so that these towns might be served through Concord should they be able to acquire the privilege of serving the Town of Con- cord.
The committee have followed closely and with interest this situation until at the last town meeting in the Town of Concord, it was voted that arrangements be made to purchase electric current from the Edison Electric Illuminating Company of Bos- ton at wholesale to be distributed at retail by the municipal lighting company of the Town of Concord and it will be inter- esting to follow and note the future rates to be made by the municipal company in the Town of Concord.
The date set in the contract between the Town of Concord
69
and the Edison Electric Illuminating Company for this service to commence is November 1, 1930, subject to riots, strikes, delay in shipments, etc.
It is, therefore, apparent that it will be some time after this date before the change form 40 cycle to 60 cycle can be consummated in the Town of Acton, probably the first of Decem- ber or later.
At present, the Town of Acton has the following street lights in service :
3 60 candle power lights burning all night.
184 60 candle power lights burning from 15 minutes after sunset until 1:30 a.m.
126 75 candle power lights burning from 15 minutes after sunset until 1:30 a.m.
313
The reason for burning three of these lights all night is because they are on that stretch of road between Concord and Maynard in the Town of Acton and are served with electric cur- rent through the Town of Maynard's line on this same street and the Town of Maynard's schedule is an all-night schedule.
The cost of these three lights is $18.35 per year.
The cost of the remaining lights burning from 15 minutes after sunset until 1:30 a.m. is $16.00 per year, making a total cost at present of $5,015.05.
These rates will apply until the change is made from 40 cycle to 60 cycle electric current, when the Edison Electric Il- luminating Company of Boston will supply current under their Street Lighting Rate E as per pamphlet filed with this report.
All of the lights at that time will be 80 candle power and the cost of the three lights burning all night will be $20.55.
The remaining lights will be $17.43 per year, making a total charge per year for the present number of lights of $5,464.95.
It was the thought of this committee that there were some unnecessary lights on the streets of Acton, but in trying to cut down the quanity of these lights, it was apparent that it could not be accomplished without discrimination between those per- sons where these lights were not situated.
Therefore, it seemed the best policy of this committee to leave the present number of lights as they are now situated unless those people living in the vicinity of electric lights which are not deemed necessary by them, would voluntarily come to this committee or the Selectmen of the Town of Acton and agree to the discontinuance of such lights and so save on every light discontinued before the consummated change from 40 to 60 cycle current, $16.00 per year.
It has been the experience of other towns that all-night lighting has become of great value in preventing accidents and crime, and a great convenience for the users of highways during the remaining dark hours.
70
If all-night lighting is considered by the town, it would increase the cost about $738.85 per year. The present lighting until 1.30 a.m. covers 2550 hours per year and all-night lighting would cover 3750 hours per year.
The Edison Electric Illuminating Company of Boston do not require a contract for street lighting service.
The rights and privileges of the Town of Acton under the law remain the same with the Edison Electric Illuminating Com- pany of Boston as they were with the American Woolen Com- pany furnishing the electric current to the Town of Acton.
This committee has received very courteous attention and co-operation from those with whom we have come in contact in the employ of the Edison Electric Illuminating Company.
We recommend the appropriation of $5,050, to defray elec- tric street lighting for the year 1930 in the Town of Acton.
Respectfully submitted,
W. STUART ALLEN, Chairman, FRANK MERRIAM, FREDERICK BURKE, ARTHUR F. BLANCHARD, ARTHUR M. WHITCOMB, HORACE F. TUTTLE,
Electric Light Committee.
