READING CITIZENS' ASSOCIATION, Reading, Mass. :


Attention of Mr. O. A. Loring


Dear Sir : - I beg to acknowledge receipt of letter from your Association under date of September 4th, asking under what terms and conditions the Malden & Melrose Gas Light Company will furnish gas to the citizens of Reading, and I beg to submit to the Town of Reading, through your Asso- ciation, the following proposition, subject to the approval of our Board of Directors, and furthermore provided the Select- men shall grant a franchise to the above Company and the Town enter into a satisfactory agreement with that Com- pany to purchase its plant and property within the limits of the town in the event that Reading shall at any time acquire or establish a plant for the manufacture or distribution of gas.


We will furnish gas to the citizens of Reading for $1.60 per thousand cubic feet, less a discount of 10% per thousand cubic feet provided the bill shall have been paid within fifteen days from the date thereof. Whenever the annual sales in the Town of Reading shall reach fifteen million cubic feet, the price will be reduced to $1.35 per thousand cubic feet, subject to the same discount as above ; and when the annual sales shall reach twenty million cubic feet the price will be reduced to $1.10 per thousand cubic feet, sub- ject to the same discount as above.


As soon as the necessary material can be secured and permission is received for the opening of the streets from the proper municipal authorities, we propose to commence the installation of approximately five miles of pipe of not less than 4 inch diameter and to prosecute the work until the same is completed, along the following lines :


EAST SIDE- Green, from John to High; High, from Green to Haven; Chute, from Haven to Woburn; Chute, from Woburn to Mt. Vernon: Mt. Vernon, from High to


48


Bancroft avenue : High, from Mt. Vernon to Middlesex ave- nue : Middlesex avenue, from High to Lowell; Lowell, from Middlesex avenue to Highland ; Bancroft avenue, from Mt. Vernon to Middlesex avenue: Kingston, from Middlesex avenue south : Linden, from Woburn to Lowell.


WEST SIDE- Woburn, from Chute to Berkley: Pres- cott, from railroad to Summer avenue; Summer avenue, from Mineral to Scotland road; Prospect, from Woburn to Grant; Berkley, from Woburn to King; King, from Berkley to Prospect: Temple, from Woburn to Summer avenue; Pratt, from Prescott to Woburn; Washington, from Prescott to Woburn: Arlington, from Prescott to Woburn. Total feet, 24,994.


The above territory is in addition to that already cov- ered by the existing mains.


We will make free extensions of 100 feet of main, ex- cept where blasting is necessary, for each new customer.


We will lay 50 ft. of 1} in. service pipe free for each of the first 500 customers who will use a gas stove of two ovens and four top burners or ten lights; after that, service will be charged for inside the property line.


We will restore all streets opened to as good condition as they originally were before the work was commenced.


We will set five-light regular meters or "quarter in the slot " meters free under the same conditions as for service.


In event of a franchise being granted by the Town of Reading, we should install as soon as possible a gas main be- tween Stoneham Square and Reading Square. Pending the installation of this main, we should endeavor to furnish gas to the houses in Reading that are now connected with the present mains, by purchasing a supply of gas from the Wakefield Municipal Gas Plant.


Yours very truly,


MALDEN & MELROSE GAS LIGHT CO.


H. T. SAND, General Manager.
