LAMP AND APPLIANCE DEPARTMENT
The sales of lamps and appliances dropped off about 12.5 per cent from last year's business.
The gross sales amounted to $38,027.72 and the estimated annual revenue for current used by the appliances is $6,370.76.
The number of ranges connected to our service is increasing steadily each year. During the past year the number was increased by 80, of which 61 were purchased through this Department. The total number of ranges connected to our lines is approximately 800.
The modern electric range has beauty, speed and durability and is a valuable addition to any kitchen. It is clean and convenient and with our very low rates for service is extremely economical.

CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS
Decorative lights were installed during the Christmas season on the streets in the center of the Town and on the parks and Pub- lic Buildings. In all 5,378 lamps were lighted for about two weeks, the cost, including current and lamp renewals, being approximately $1,000.
UNEMPLOYMENT RELIEF
During the past year this Department has employed at various times 25 Reading citizens who were temporarily out of work.
The additional payroll on account of this extra labor amounted to $8,834.33.
FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS
In my report of last year I mentioned the matter of a new switchboard at the Power Station which, together with an addition to the building, was estimated to cost $33,000. Articles were inserted in the warrant in order to bring the matter before the voters and the action was to indefinitely postpone.
An alternate plan has been suggested which, while not in all respects as desirable, would serve the purpose.
The new plan contemplates making use of the panels in the present switchboard as control panels, each panel serving as a control for two feeder circuits. The oil switches would be installed in com- partments at the north end of the station and in the present building. with the feeder regulators installed above them on a concrete plat- form. The feeder lines would be brought in through the basement in ducts from a structure outside the building until such time as the undergrounds ducts are laid between the station and Green Street.
The labor and material to be used inside the building is esti- mated to cost about $21,000.
During the past year an opportunity was offered to purchase a sufficient number of 4000 volt oil switches for this job at a saving of nearly $3,000. These switches were purchased and are now in the power station.
I recommend that this plan be adopted and that a start be made on the project this coming year, the cost of same to be paid from the Depreciation Fund. It will probably be possible, with the funds which will be available during this year and next, to complete the job by the end of 1933 without asking for a special appropriation.
With the completion of the underground distribution and orna- mental street light installation in the Square and the consequent improvement in the lighting and also the general appearance of the streets, comes a request from the merchants on Haven Street for a like improvement on that street, which will cost, if all poles and wires are removed, in the vicinity of $20,000.
240
If this matter comes before the voters and favorable action is taken, I recommend that the project be financed by a bond issue of $18,000.00 payable $2,000 per year for nine years.
I submit herewith my estimate of the expenses and income of the plant, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1932, as required by statute.
