226th ANNUAL REPORT OF


ARTICLE 2


REPORTS


To see if the Town will vote to accept the several reports of the Town Officers and Boards, or take any other action relative thereto.


Voted: To accept the several reports of the Town Officers and Boards.


ARTICLE 3 REPORTS


To hear and act upon the reports of any Committees chosen at any previous Town Meeting that have not already reported.


REPORT OF STREET LIGHTING COMMITTEE


At the first of January 1960 the Street Lighting Committee came into being, and since that time we have been in constant touch with the Board of Selectmen to advise the Board as to the best methods to get the most adequate lighting possible for every dollar spent.


At our advice and recommendation the Board of Selectmen have put all street lights on all night burning, this meant that we would get 53% more hours of burning at a cost of only 81/2%. We also recommend that all 800 lumen be changed to 1000 lumen, this gave the Town 25% more light at 7% more cost.


We now have a card index system set up by which we will be able to check against each monthly bill and be able to see any error as to the size or number of street lights in the Town.


In co-operation with the Chief of the Fire Department, we recommended that all fire alarm boxes have a street light on the same pole. This is a plan that is highly recommended by the Fire Underwriters.


In 1960 we recommended the installation of some 70 street lights and the removal of 13 street lights that were either not needed at that point or were replaced by a lamp of larger lumens. We now have 420 lamps in the Town.


In 1961 we are recommending that the business districts of South, West and Acton Centre be modernized and that the policy started in 1960 be continued to light up dangerous places and all new Fire Alarm Boxes.


The Boston Edison Company is now replacing the time switches with Photo Electric Cells that turn the street light on when a certain degree of darkness calls for more light. This will give the Town the benefit of the street lights on dark stormy days both in the A. M. and P. M. at no cost to the Town.


The Committee will continue to work for the same goal namely the most possible amount of light for the location at the most economical rate that the Town can get.


The Town now has 341, 1000 lumen, 44, 2500 lumen, 25, 6000 lumen and 10, 11000 mercury vapor lamps as of March 1, 1961.


Respectfully submitted,


JOHN F. NEVILLE, Chairman BYRD D. GOSS JOSEPH F. BUSHELL Street Lighting Committee


Voted: To accept report of Street Lighting Committee.
