MANAGER'S REPORT
To the Municipal Light Board : Gentlemen :
I submit herewith my report of the operation of the Municipal Light Plant for the year ending December 31, 1939.
The station output in kilowatt hours showed an increase of 11.34 per cent over the previous year.
The kilowatt hours sold increased from 8,400,252 to 9,409,182, a gain of 11.2 per cent.
The kilowatt hours lost in distribution dropped from 10.2 per cent in 1938 to 9.66 per cent in 1939.
The maximum load on the system during the year was 3375 K. W. and occurred on December 28th. This is an increase of 275 K. W. over the 1938 maximum.
The average cost of the current purchased was 1.1508 cents per kilowatt hour which was about 2.7 per cent lower than the previous year.
The increased use of electric service in residences during the year has resulted in the sale of 365,415 more kilowatt hours than in 1938, and brings the average annual consumption per residence meter up to 972 kilowatt hours, an increase of 41 over last year.
The net increase in the number of residence meters was 162, which would account for approximately 154,000 kilowatt hours increase and the balance of the increase can be attributed to the increased use of electrical appliances in the home.
Sales of current for commercial use show an increase of 7.86 per cent and for power 40.55 per cent. The large increase in the sale of power was due to the decision of the Sanford Mills to shut down their generating equipment and purchase all of their power requirements.
170
The operating revenue for the year was $334,286.84, an increase of $18,816.44, the principal increases being, $13,115.65 from residence service and $4,302.98 from power sales.
The operating expenses show an increase of $10,313.23. The pur- chase of electric energy, which is a large proportion of the operating costs, shows an increase of $10,928.64 and is due to the increase in the number of kilowatt hours purchased. The remaining operating ac- counts show a slight decrease.
The net income balance transferred to the Profit and Loss account was $46,661.79 and the net increase in the Profit and Loss surplus was $4,577.88 after bond and note payments of $15,500.00, payment to the Treasurer of $24,000.00 and miscellaneous adjustments of $2,583.91.
The amount charged off the various plant accounts during the year for depreciation was $33,318.50, representing 3 per cent of the cost of the plant.
Current Assets at the close of the year were $112,039.41 and Cur- rent Liabilities $44,568.88.
The cost of additions to the plant during the year amounted to $70,199.11, of which the sum of $40,948.56 was expended for the purchase and improvement of the Haven Street property and the erection of the new Office Building. $25,418.52 was expended for additions to the Distribution System, $2,218.44 for the Street Lighting System and $1,613.59 for additional equipment at the Power Station.
The financing of the purchase and improvement of the Haven Street property was by a loan of $36,000.00 and the transfer of $5,000.00 from the regular Construction Fund of the plant. The remaining addi- tions were financed from the earnings of the plant.
A loan of $15,000.00 was authorized for the purchase of materials and tools to extend the underground duct system using W. P. A. labor. The materials and tools were purchased and the work started late in the year. The expense is shown in Unfinished Construction and will be transferred to the proper plant accounts upon completion of the project.
The amount of the allotment granted by the Federal Government for W. P. A. labor on this project was $27,351.00.
POWER STATION
The two high tension transformers at the south side of the building have been thoroughly cleaned and re-painted. The water cooling coils in these transformers have been connected with a motor-driven pump. in the basement of the Power Station, thereby increasing the loading capacity of the transformers from 2500 to 3750 K. W. each.
171
An additional oil switch and the necessary wiring and control ap- paratus has been installed on the switch gallery which provides us with additional feeder circuit capacity. $1,613.59 was expended for these improvements from the Depreciation Fund.
It was necessary to renew the hot well in the basement in order to keep the generating plant in operating condition. The expense was $243.00 which was paid from the Operation Fund.
Our Power Station Superintendent, Mr. Kirk P. Sanborn, passed away on August 8th. Mr. Sanborn was the oldest employee of the Department, in point of service, he having entered our employ as As- sistant Engineer on November 1, 1905. He was a faithful and com- petent employee and his passing is deeply regretted.
DISTRIBUTION LINES
Underground cables have been installed in the ducts on Washington and High Streets, the necessary transformers and switches installed in the manholes and service connections made. Overhead wires have been removed, also several of the poles. The remaining poles will be taken down as soon as the Telephone wires have been removed.
Underground ducts have been placed across Lowell Street at Hartshorn Street and also at Grove Street and Willow Street, and one manhole constructed at Willow Street. This work was made neces- sary on account of the re-building of Lowell Street.
Materials and tools were purchased for the installation of under- ground ducts and manholes on Sanborn, Woburn, Linden, High and Lowell Streets in connection with a W. P. A. Project. Work on this project was started the latter part of November and is now in progress.
Trees have been trimmed and wires passing through trees have been re-insulated over the entire distribtuion system in the Towns of North Reading and Wilmington, as well as on all State Highways.
We have set 76 additional poles during the year and 385 poles have been renewed.
193 new service connections have been made.
34 transformers have been installed and 31 removed during the year. There were 509 transformers in use on the distribution system at the end of the year.
We have added 840 feet of primary wire, 91,607 feet of secondary wire and 6,508 feet of street lighting wire during the year. Our distribution system now covers 187.95 miles of street on which are erected 8,609 poles carrying 1,210.18 miles of wire.
It is estimated that about 500 poles will need renewing during the coming year.
172

OUR NEW OFFICES AND SHOWROOMS
At the Special Town Meeting, held on June 20, 1939, the Municipal Light Board was authorized to purchase Black's Block property on Haven Street, to demolish the existing buildings, in whole or in part, and to erect a new building to be used by the Department for its offices and showrooms.
An appropriation of $36,000.00 was voted for the purpose and the Board immediately entered into negotiations for the purchase of the property. On July 5th the papers were passed in the office of Mr. Samuel H. Davis, Town Counsel, conveying the property to the Town.
175
Mr. Fred W. Nelson, of Reading, was engaged by the Board to take charge of the demolition work on that part of the old building which was removed. The two dwelling houses on the property were removed without expense to the Department.
Mr. George H. Sidebottom was engaged as architect on the new building and he prepared the plans and specifications and sent out the invitation for bids. Twelve bids were received, and the contract was awarded to the Concrete Construction Company of Chelsea who sub- mitted the lowest bid. The heating contract was awarded to Bridges- Wilson Company of Boston and the electric wiring contract to War- ren H. Bennett of Medford. The Neon Electric Sign for the front of the building was purchased from the Art Kraft Sign Co. through Mr. Homer F. Richards of Reading. Fred W. Nelson of Reading was awarded the contract for grading.
Construction work on the building was started on July 24th and completed September 30th.
The area of the land purchased was 25,573 square feet, of which 2,170 square feet was utilized for the widening of Haven Street by the Board of Public Works, and approximately 4,500 square feet al- located to the remaining portion of the old building fronting on High Street. The area occupied by the new building is approximately 6,800 square feet, leaving about 12,100 square feet for driveway, walk and parking space.
The new building is of brick and cinder block construction with a frontage on Haven Street of 60 feet, and extending to Green Street with an average depth of 114 feet.
The show room extends across the entire front of the building with a depth of 19 feet. On the easterly side are the offices of the Board and Manager, Sales Department, Demonstration Kitchen, Store Room and Receiving and Shipping Room. On the westerly side is the Busi- ness Office, Machine Room, Rest Room and Storage Vault. At the Green Street end of the building is the Appliance Service Department, Meter Department and Heater Room.
The construction of the building is such that a second floor may be added if required at some future time, and there is sufficient land for an increase in ground floor area if desired.
The present building should be suitable for the needs of the De- partment for many years.
A value of $32,948.56 has been placed on the property, of which $7,459.46 represents the value of the land and $25,489.10 the value of the building.
The two-story portion of the old building fronting on High Street has undergone extensive repairs. The stairway to the second floor has been moved from the Haven Street side to the High Street side. A
176
heater room was built in the rear portion of the building and a new heating system has been installed. The plumbing system has been completely re-built and new lavatories and toilets installed on both floors. New electric wiring and fixtures have been installed. New win- dows were put in, new gravel roof put on, the outside stuccoed on the lower section and shingled on the upper section and the entire building painted inside and outside. The amount expended on the repairs was $3,602.71.
A transfer of $5,000.00 from the Construction Fund of the Plant to the New Building account was authorized at the Special Town Meet- ing held October 17th, to provide funds for this work and sundry ex- penses in connection with the new building.
A value of $8,000.00 has been placed on the property of which $1,601.10 is on the land and $6,398.90 on the building. The present in- come from rents is $125.00 per month.
