The income from sale of power has fallen off for the past two years due principally to manufacturing industries going out of business. I believe, however, that the coming year will show an increase in revenue from this class of business.

The income for the year was $2,776.00 less than the estimate at the beginning of the year.


The operating expenses increased about 9.5% on account of the increase in production costs due to the purchase of approximately 18.5% of the total current delivered to the station busses. 819,787 kilowatt hours were purchased during the year at an average cost of 2.85 cents per K. W. H.


In spite of this, however, the expenses for the year were $3,792.00 less than the estimate at the beginning of the year.


The manufacturing cost per kilowatt hour generated was 1.809 cents and the total production cost of all current delivered to the station busses was 2 cents, as compared with 1.803 cents in 1925. The average total cost per kilowatt hour sold and delivered to street lights was 5.77 cents as com- pared with 5.73 cents last year.


The net increase in the number of customers since December 31, 1925 was 314, as follows: Reading 137, Lynnfield Centre 31, North Reading 60, and Wilmington 86.


The total number of new services connected during the year was 452. The classification of customers according to the kind of service used is as follows:

The following new street lights have been installed during the year : Reading 18, Lynnfield Centre 1, North Reading 4.


Four ornamental street lights were installed in connection with the new sidewalk around the Municipal Building and Library. These lights are the General Electric Company's Novalux type, with 1000 candle power lamps inside stippled glass globes, with glass canopy, and are mounted on ornamental cast iron posts. The lights are connected to the street light circuit through underground cables and each post has a cut-out switch for use in case of trouble.


The total number of hours the street lights have been lighted during the year is as follows: Reading 3923 hours, Lynnfield Centre and North Reading 1778 hours and Wilmington 2220 hours.

The above appliances increase our connected load approximately 524 K. W. and the estimated annual revenue will be approximately $5000.


A campaign for the sale of electric ranges was made, with free installation as a special inducement and resulted in adding $5 ranges to our service.


The accounting system adopted by the State Board requires us to charge the cost of the free installation against the Merchandise and Jobbing Revenue, which shows a loss this year of $3,931.87.


The revenue from cooking and heating increased $3.271.38 over last Tear.


As a result of special sales effort during the last four years, the annual income from this class of service has increased from $8,213.43 in 1922. to $22,638.70 in 1926.


Electric Refrigeration


The cleanliness, convenience and economy of electric refrigeration should appeal to every home owner. The use of this service means that refrigerators are clean all the time, the temperature is maintained just right and food keeps longer. The cost for current to operate is from $2.00 to $3.00 per month. There are several makes of electric refrigerators available which will give satisfaction and the prices have recently been reduced. It would seem that many more of our customers should avail themselves of this service during the coming year.


Distribution Lines


Two hundred and thirteen poles have been added to the distribution system during the year. 172 of which are jointly owned by the Town and the Telephone and Street Railway Companies. 223.371 feet of wire have heen put up and 1.339 feet removed during the year.


The total number of transformers in use December 31st was 455, an increase of 31, and the total number of meters in use was 4.506, an increase . of 334 from December 31, 1925.


We have renewed 145 poles during the year.


It will be necessary to extend the three-phase lines to the new Junior High School building and re-arrange some of the distribution circuits to take care of the increase in the load.


187


The feeder circuits supplying North Reading and Wilmington should be increased to 4000 volts in order to compensate for increased load and provide better service under maximum load conditions.


Power Station


The generating equipment has operated without any serious trouble, with the exception of No. 4 boiler which were were obliged to take out of service, due to the cutting down of the working pressure by the Insurance Company. A new boiler was installed in its place at a cost of $3,668 and the old boiler was sold for $200.


The Insurance Company has twice requested us to shut down the turbines and open them up for inspection, but as it was impossible for us to comply with the request without liability of interrupting the service, we have continued them in operation through the year, a part of the time at reduced load, and carrying the balance of the load on the Edison 4000-volt line. As we are now taking service from the new Edison underground line, the turbines will be taken apart for inspection and cleaning as soon as possible.


The Deane condenser has been removed from the basement in order to provide space for the equipment of the new Edison line. This con- denser is of no further use to us and should be sold.


Coal Trestle


We have been notified by the Boston and Maine Railroad Company that extensive repairs must be made to the coal trestle. The major portion of these repairs are to be made to that part of the trestle on the property of Mr. Sweetser, and under a clause in the deed of the property to the town we must pay one-half the cost of the repairs. It is estimated that our proportion of the expense will be about $2,500 and I have made provision for same in my estimate.


A sufficient quantity of coal is on hand so that a supply for the schools and other municipal buildings is available if required.


Edison High Tension Service


The new Edison 13,000-volt underground service has been completed and the final connection to our switchboard was made on January 19th, and we are now taking our entire supply from this line.


The line consists of four 31/2" ducts from the Edison underground lines at Main and Elm Streets, Stoneham, to our power station. There is installed in each of two of these ducts a three conductor cable of 5000 K. V. A. continuous capacity. Each of these cables is connected to a high tension oil switch in our power station, the lines being connected so that normally, current is being received over both lines at the same time. In case of any trouble on one of the cables, it is automatically cut out of service by the operation of relays, without any interruption in the supply, which continues to flow through the second cable.


1SS


Two 2500 K. V. A. self-cooled or 3750 K. V. A. water-cooled transformers are installed on a concrete mat at the south side of the power station, each transformer being connected to the high tension buss through suitable oil switches. Normally only one transformer is in service, but either or both may be used by changing the switches and without interrupting the service.


There are two low tension switches which are connected to the transformers and also to our distribution switchboard, making it possible to take service through either or both switches. Suitable reactors are installed in the basement to protect our switchboard in case of trouble on the high tension system. The high and low tension switchboards installed on the Edison line were built by the Conduit Electrical Manu- facturing Company of Boston and are of the latest design. The switches are of the truck type and can be disconnected from the lines for inspec- tion, cleaning or repairs, without any interruption in the service.


All of our generators can be operated in connection with the new line and service can be supplied to our board either from our generators, or the Edison lines or from both systems without any interruption of service.


The total cost of the line, transformers and station equipment, will be about $94,000.


Our plant is now in a position to supply service in practically un- limited quantity for many years. Manufacturing industries can now locate in Reading and be assured that their power requirements will be taken care of satisfactorily.


The new high tension service will now enable us to adopt 115-230 volts as standard for secondary distribution, and permit the use of 115-volt lamps in place of 110 volts. The 115-volt lamp is recognized quite generally as standard, and about 45 per cent of all lamps made are for use on 115-volt circuits, while only about 19 per cent are made for 110-volt circuits. I would recommend that customers purchase 115-volt lamps whenever it become necessary to replace burned-out ones. While we will have for the present, lamps of both 110 and 115-volt rating, we expect to discontinue our stock of 110-volt lamps as soon as possible.

New Garage and Store Room


At the Annual Meeting in March an appropriation of $13,000 was voted for the construction of a garage and store room on Ash Street adjacent to the power station. Bonds for the above amount were issued and sold by the Treasurer. Mr. George H. Sidebottom was engaged as Architect. Proposals were advertised for in accordance with the Town By-Laws and quotations were requested covering hollow tile and also concrete block construction. Proposals were received from ten contract- ing firms, the bids ranging from $12,566 for concrete block construction, to $20,900 for hollow tile construction. Hollow tile construction was decided on, as its appearance would harmonize with the brick power station, and the contract was awarded to A. B. Carter and Sons of Boston, for the sum of $12,934, this firm being the lowest bidder. The builders contract did not cover the cost of heating, plumbing, wiring and fixtures, or grading. The heating and plumbing contract was awarded to The D. O. Miller Company of Reading, they having submitted the lowest bid.


The wiring and fixtures were installed by our own employes. The lighting and power for the building was connected to the transformers in the power station, through underground services from the basement of the power station.


The heating of the building is accomplished by the use of two I. L. G. Unit Heaters supplied with steam from the power station through under- ground pipes, the heat being distributed by motor-driven fans.


The grading was done by Percy N. Sweetser.


The total cost of the completed building was $16,537.18 as follows:

Christmas Decorations


The decorative lighting on the streets and municipal buildings, which was installed at the suggestion of the Reading Board of Trade, evidently met with the approval of our citizens. It also created con- siderable interest in our Town from citizens of the surrounding towns, and the expense was undoubtedly warranted.


The labor and material for this work cost the department $786.59. The current used was 1850 kilowatt hours, which at the average production cost would amount to $37.00, making the total cost $823.59. The lamps, wires and sockets cost $409.09 and, of course, can be used for several years.


Rates


I recommend a reduction of one cent per kilowatt hour in the maxi- mum lighting rates, to take effect on all bills rendered on and after March 1, 1927. This reduction will effect a saving to customers of approxi- mately $14,000.00 per year.


At the present tinie any residence customer, who installs cooking, heating, or refrigeration and desires to obtain service at the heating and cooking rate, must have additional wiring installed in order to use the various small appliances on the low rate. It is also necessary to have two meters and receive two bills for the monthly service.


There seems to be no good reason why residence customers should not be offered a rate which will enable them to make full use of all the service they desire, and have it measured by one meter and charged on one bill.


I therefore recommend that the following new rates be offered to residence customers, to take effect March 1, 1927 :


Domestic Cooking and Refrigeration Rate


Available for lighting and all other domestic uses in a private dwelling or apartment where all the electric service is taken under this rate and the connected load includes an electric range or electric water heater of not less than 2400 watts rated capacity, or an electric refrigerator.


To customers in Reading :


8 cents per kilowatt hour for the first 25 kilowatt hours per month. 3 cents per kilowatt hour for the excess.


10% discount for payment within 15 days from date of bill. Minimum net bill, $24.00 per year.


To customers in Lynnfield Centre, North Reading and Wilmington: 10 cents per kilowatt hour for the first 25 kilowatt hours per month. 3 cents per kilowatt hour for the excess.


10% discount for payment within 15 days from date of bill. Minimum net bill, $24.00 per year.


I have made allowance for the decrease in revenue, due to the above reduction in lighting rates, in my estimate for 1927 which follows, together with tables showing data from the records at the office.
