MANAGER'S REPORT
To the Municipal Light Board :
Gentlemen :
I submit, herewith, my report covering the operation of the Muni- cipal Light Plant for the year ending December 31, 1935.
The Kilowatt Hour output, as measured at the switchboard was 7,973,642, an increase over the previous year of about 6 per cent. The maximum station load which occurred on December 20th was 2450 K. W., a decrease of 50 K. W. from last year's record. All of the cur- rent sent out from the power station during the year has been pur- chased at an average price of 1.16 cents per K. W. H.
There has been an increase of about 5.5 per cent in the K. W. H. sold for residence service, 9.5 per cent in K W. H. sold for commercial lighting, heating and small power, 15.6 per cent in K. W. H. sold for street lighting purposes and 64 per cent in K. W. H. sold to other plants for re-sale. There has been a decrease of about 6.2 per cent in the K. W. H. sold for power. The K. W. H. sold per residence meter in- creased from 758.5 in 1934 to 794.5 in 1935.
194
The income from sales of electric energy increased $14,465.95 over the previous year, more than one-half of which was received from residence service, and the greater part of the balance from commercial and street lighting service. Income from power sales showed a decrease of $763.75.
The total operating expenses for the year were only $419.22 more than in 1934, due to the fact that the cost of the increased number of K. W. H. purchased was practically offset by the decrease in the amount set up for depreciation, which was changed from 4 to 3 per cent by vote of the Board.
The balance of the operating account credited to Profit and Loss, before bond and note payments, was $29,142.71. Bonds and Notes am- ounting to $12,000 were retired during the year and $20,000 was trans- ferred to the general funds of the Town, leaving the balance of the Profit and Loss account $3,034.29 less than last year.
Current Assets at the close of the year amounted to $108,744.30 and Current Liabilities were $52,471.78.
POWER STATION
The most important change in the Power Station equipment has been the addition of the 4000 volt switching equipment and the increase in the number of feeder voltage regulators. This work was authorized at the annual meeting in March of last year and the engineering work was begun early in the Spring, actual construction work being started in July. It was about 87 per cent completed at the end of the year and should be finished in about two months.
This addition to our power station facilities consists of à steel gal- lery, on which are mounted the 4000 volt, oil circuit breakers, with their operating mechanisms, including relays, current and potential trans- formers, disconnecting and transfer switches, and the main and trans- fer busses. The feeder voltage regulators are installed on the main floor of the station, under the gallery. The control switches, and meter- ing equipment, are mounted on the existing feeder circuit panels in such a manner that each panel provides control for two feeder circuits on the new gallery. Space is provided for extra feeder circuits which may be installed when needed, at a minimum of expense.
The engineering and construction on this job has been in charge of Mr. H. J. Odell, who has had about 30 years experience in switch- board construction and power station wiring, and is considered one of the best men in New England on this type of work. Plans and Blue- prints were furnished by Davis and Abbott.
195
The following firms furnished the major portion of the materials purchased :
Walworth Co., Steel Pipe.
W. E. Clark Co., Structural Steel.
Electric Power Equipment Corp., Switchboard Fittings.
Delta-Star Electric Co., Disconnecting and Transfer Switches and Buss Supports.
Wetmore-Savage Electric Supply Co., Feeder Voltage Regulators and Control Switches.
General Electric Co., Feeder Voltage Regulators, Motor Generator and Current Limiting Reactor.
Johns-Manville, Asbestos Panels.
Electric Storage Battery Co., Control Batteries.
American Steel & Wire Co., Cable.
John A. Roeblings Sons Co., Cable. Simplex Wire & Cable Co., Cable.
Condit Electrical Mfg. Co., Oil Switches.
American Electric Service & Maintenance Co., Rewinding Genera- tors.
The estimated cost of these improvements was $38,894.37 and there has been expended, to December 31st, $33,757.41, of which $27,059.73 represents the cost of materials purchased and $6,697.68 the amount paid for labor. Employment has been provided on this job for six local men.
The increased capacity of the new switchboard should take care of our requirements for 15 to 20 years.
The feeder circuits now enter the basement of the station, from the underground ducts, and with the removal of the wooden structure and transformer banks from the south side of the building, the general appearance of the property will be very much improved.
The Deane Condenser Pump, which was removed from service in 1926, has been sold for $100.00 and proper credits have been made to Cost of Plant and Plant Investment accounts.
The Capacitor which was installed in 1932 to correct power factor and thereby enable us to make a substantial saving in the cost of cur- rent purchased, and increase our system capacity, has proved to be a valuable asset. Its cost was $2,523.00 and the total savings in the cost of purchased current over the four year period has been $10,095.

DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
Additions made to the distribution system during the year amounted to $18,642.16, the amounts expended on the various parts of the system being shown in the schedule "Plant Investment Accounts."
The underground system has been extended on Woburn Street by the construction of a manhole near the entrance to the Municipal Building, extension of ducts and cables and a concrete lamp post with Novalux fixture. The overhead distribution system was extended on Ballardvale Street, Wilmington, about half a mile. Additions to the Reading feeder circuits have been made in connection with the change in distribution voltage from 2300 volts to 4000 volts, and the heavier circuits have been lightened by the addition of two new circuits. The street light circuits have also been divided and one additional circuit has been installed.
228 poles have been renewed during the year and 75 additional poles have been erected. 6862 feet of wire has been added to the street light circuits and 105,559 feet has been added to the commercial circuits in connection with the above work.
Pole relocations have been made on account of road construction on the following streets: Reading; Grove Street, Franklin Street, Colburn Road and at Willow Street and Summer Avenue. North Reading; Elm Street. Wilmington; Boutwell Street and Shawsheen Avenue.
A very thorough inspection of the distribution lines in Wilmington has been made and the necessary insulating of wires passing through trees and trimming of trees has been done under the supervision of the Tree Warden. The cost of this work was $2934.98 and, with the ex- ception of minor repairs, should provide sufficient tree clearance for 3 years.
6 additional transformers and 122 additional meters have been in- stalled during the year. We now have installed on our system 494 transformers and 6188 meters.
The total number of customers connected to our lines on December 31st was 5741, an increase of 115 over the previous year.
STREET LIGHTING
We have installed additional public street lights during the year as follows : Reading; Berkeley Street 1, Colburn Road 5, County Road 1, Hampshire Road 1, High Street 2, Highland Street 1, Main Street 21, and Winthrop Avenue 1. North Reading; Lakeside Boulevard 2, and Oakdale Road 4. Lynnfield Center; Beaver Avenue 2.
2 street lights have been installed on private ways, one on Crescent Avenue, Lynnfield Center and one on Roman Way, Wilmington.
202
We are also furnishing current, to the Wakefield Municipal Light Plant, for 5 street lights on Bay State Road.
The installation of 21 additional lights of 400 candle power on the westerly side of Main Street, between the Boston & Maine Railroad crossing and the Reading-Stoneham town line, and the substitution of 400 candle power for 250 candle power on the easterly side, has given us one of the best lighted highways in this vicinity.
We sent out on the Reading street light circuits 496,218 kilowatt hours, at an averaged cost as defined by statute of 3.834 cents per kilo- watt hour, which makes the cost for the year $19,044.85. The appropria- tion from the tax levy for street lights was $17,300, showing an excess of cost over the appropriation of $1,744.85.
PARK AND PLAYGROUND LIGHTING
The lights at the horseshoe pitching courts on the Washington Street playground were relocated on account of change in location of the courts. Extensive repairs were made in the lighting system at the horseshoe pitching courts at Memorial Park, and also at Birch Meadow, on account of damage to the equipment caused by those using the playground facilities.
CHRISTMAS LIGHTING
Decorative lighting was installed on the Common and on the con- crete lamp posts on Main, Haven, Lowell and Harnden Streets. Ever- green trees were decorated at Ernest Leach Park and at West Street and County Road.

METER DEPARTMENT
We have continued the practice of installing meters on the outside of buildings and connecting them to the service wires before the cur- rent enters the building.
There are now connected to the system 733 outdoor meter installa- tions, 321 of which were connected during the year. Approximately
203
350 of the older types of meters have been equipped with a temperature compensation device which improves the accuracy of the meter under changing temperature conditions. The cost of this device was 15 cents per meter.

LAMP AND APPLIANCE DEPARTMENT
The net sales of lamps and merchandise show a considerable in- crease over the previous year. Sales in 1934 were $28,800.86 and in 1935 $37,876.90, or an increase of about 31 per cent.
Our records show that 106 ranges and 26 water heaters have been installed during the year, at an expense for installation of $3,598.35, the average cost for range installations being $28.38 and for water heaters $22.69.
The total merchandise and jobbing expense, including the free in- stallations is $5,063.27.
The estimated annual revenue from the use of appliances sold by the Department is $8,852.52.
At the close of the year we had on rental in customer's premises 73 ranges and 28 water heaters. These are rented to customers at $1.50 per month and after 5 years rental on ranges and 7 years rental on water heaters has been paid us, the title passes to the customer. This property is depreciated on our books each year, to amortize it within the rental period, and is maintained free of charge during the rental period.
GARAGE
The garage building has undergone extensive repairs this year on account of numerous places between the tiles where the mortar had become loose and allowed wind and water to seep through. The rear and end walls have been given a coat of cement and California Stucco and the front wall has been painted and treated with a waterproof compound. The top of the end walls has been covered with Toncan

metal caps and new gutter and conductors put on. The cost of these repairs was $704.68.

The 11/2 ton G. M. C. truck which was purchased in 1928 is in need of repairs and is not heavy enough for our construction work. I recom- mend that a new truck, with a capacity of 2 to 3 tons, be purchased and equipped with a pole raising derrick and winch, and the 1928 truck be disposed of. The expense involved will be about $3,500.
UNEMPLOYMENT RELIEF
We have provided employment at various times during the year for 15 additional employees, most of whom had no regular employment elsewhere. The total additional payroll amounted to $6,630.91.
FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS
The pole line on Main Street between Salem and Charles Streets will have to be renewed in a short time. The underground service on Main Street now terminates at one of these poles near the Shell Filling Station. This pole carries all of the feeder circuits supplying the North Main Street section as well as those running to North Reading and Lynnfield Center and is heavily loaded.
I recommend that the underground service be extended from its present terminus to Charles Street and the poles and overhead wires be removed, at an estimated cost of $10,058.95, and that the cost of same be paid out of the Depreciation Fund.
Woburn Street, West Street and Lowell Street are through ways which carry a considerable amount of traffic and the lighting on these
205
streets is not as good as it should be from the standpoint of public safety.
I recommend that the lighting be improved on these streets by the substitution of lamps of higher candle-power, properly spaced to elimi- nate dark spots between the lights, the expense of same to be paid from the Depreciation Fund.
CHANGE IN RATE OF DEPRECIATION
In accordance with the vote of the Municipal Light Board the de- preciation charged off the book value of the plant this year was based on 3 per cent of the total cost of plant, and m'y estimate for 1936 has been made on the same basis, in accordance with the statutory re- quirement. The amount which has been charged off each year from 1920 to 1934 has been based on 4 per cent of the cost of plant with the approval of the Department of Public Utilities. There seems to be no valid reason for maintaining the 4 per cent rate of depreciation at the present time as those portions of the plant investment which have not been in regular use for the past nine years, have been written off to such an extent that by 1937 they will be carried at only nominal values on the books. The portions of the plant referred to and their present book values are as follows :
Boiler Plant Equipment $ 6,979.66
Prime Movers and Auxiliaries 2,841.35
Turbo-Generator Units 4,033.74
Total $13,854.75
The character of the distribution system has also been materially changed, during the past few years, by the substitution of underground ducts and cables in place of poles and overhead construction. The book value of the Poles, Fixtures and Overhead Conductors is $241,031.65 and the book value of Underground Ducts and Underground Conductors is $90,522.42, which represents a substantial part of the whole system, and on which the actual depreciation is comparatively less.
The types of wood poles used at the present time are estimated to have a useful life at least 50 per cent greater than those which are now being replaced.
As replacements in the distribution system are, for the most part, paid for out of the operation fund and treated as an operating expense, it would seem that an amount for depreciation based on 3 % of the total cost of plant would be ample to take care of the actual depreciation of the plant in the future.
