Forty-eighth Annual Report
of the
ELECTRIC LIGHT COMMISSIONERS
For the Year Ended
December 31, 1942
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, 1942.
We purchased 12,093,131 kilowatt hours which was 91,877 less than in the previous year. The maximum station load was 3650 K. W. and occurred in January. This was 325 K. W. less than our maximum load in 1941. The maximum daily output was 41,450 kilowatt hours and oc- curred on January 8th. The average cost per kilowatt hour for the current purchased was 1.2972 cents which is slightly higher than the previous year due principally to the increase in the fuel charge. We sold 11,162,699 kilowatt hours, an increase of 145,847 over last year. 76,857 kilowatt hours were used at the station, garage and office, and 853,575 kilowatt hours were unaccounted for, which shows a loss in distribution of 7.17 per cent as compared with 8.77 per cent in 1941. Current used in residences increased from 6,308,844 kilowatt hours in 1941 to 6,892,852 in the past year, a gain of 9.25 per cent, while current sold for commercial lighting and power dropped from 3,390,936 kilowatt hours in 1941 to 2,993,647 in 1942, a reduction of nearly 12 per cent, due to the curtailment in the production of civilian goods, the restricted use of automobiles and dim-out regulations in connection with the prosecu- tion of the war. The kilowatt hours sold per residence meter were 1094, an increase of 54 over last year.
Revenue from the sale of current amounted to $401,978.11, an in- crease of $24,252.96 over last year. The income from residence service increased $29,845.29, due partly to the increase in the rates which went into effect on April 1st, and partly to the increased revenue from the use of the appliances sold by the Department. Revenue from the sale of commercial and power service dropped from $79,888.05 in 1941 to $73,058.73 last year, due to causes noted above. Revenue from Munici- pal Service, Street Lighting and Sales to Other Plants showed an in- crease of $1,236.99 over the previous year.
Operating expenses, including taxes, interest and depreciation were $327,300.07, as compared with $322,262.63 in 1941, an increase of $5,037.04. While production expenses increased $9,746.23, due principally to the in- crease in the fuel charge on our purchased power bills, and there was an added charge for depreciation amounting to $1,792.28, on account of additions to plant in 1941, Distribution, Utilization and Merchandising expenses showed a reduction of $7,374.31.
222
The Profit and Loss surplus shows an increase of $16,819.96, after credit entries of $75,671.10, representing the balance of the operating account, and $148.86 from the note premium account, with deductions of $24,000.00 for Bond and Note payments and $35,000.00 paid into the general funds of the Town for the benefit of the tax rate.
The amount taken from operating income for depreciation was $37,923.06, which represents 3 per cent of the total cost of the plant, less the cost of the land. This amount has been charged off the various plant accounts as shown elsewhere in this report.
Current Assets as of December 31st amounted to $171,031.80 and current liabilities $39,234.77.
The amount expended for additions to the plant was $18,770.65 of which $7,746.13 was paid from the Depreciation Fund, $3,561.04 from the regular Construction Fund and $7,463.48 from the Special Appro- priation for the underground construction on High and Lowell Streets.
In order to conserve gasoline and tires, we commenced, in Septem- ber, to read meters every second month and render an estimated bill for the month when no reading was made. We also have reduced the mileage covered by the street light patrol trucks by making about one half of the number of patrol trips per month. While the effect of this saving applies only to a portion of the year, it will be more apparent in 1943.
POWER STATION
The usual annual inspection and cleaning of the oil circuit break- ers, instruments, switches and relays has been done and adjustments made where necessary. The switch oil has been changed and filtered, and busses and insulators cleaned.
The station operators found it very difficult to distinguish the fire alarm signals during a blackout and, through the courtesy of Mr. Hugh L. Eames, Chief of the Fire Department, a tapper has been installed at the power station.
The chimney at the station has been cleaned and pointed up for a distance of 40 feet from the top and the metal cap cleaned and painted. An additional feeder circuit to Wilmington was put into service upon the completion of the cable work on this feeder in the High and Lowell Street ducts.
DISTRIBUTION LINES
The underground construction project on High and Lowell Streets has been halted as additional W. P. A. funds for labor were not avail-
223
able and also because of government restrictions on the use of mater- ials. We did, however, install 20487 feet of underground cable as a part of this job in order to correct an overloaded condition on the feeders serving the Wilmington district.
We have installed 50 K. V. A. capacity in transformers during the year and connected 125 new services, 5 of which were underground and the balance overhead. A total of 70403 feet of overhead wire and 26379 feet of underground cable has been installed, 38 additional poles set and 388 defective poles replaced.
The Government requirements for critical materials has practically stopped all non-essential construction for the duration of the war. 180 K. V. A. of capacitors has been added to the feeder circuits during the year, which makes a total of 640 K. V. A. installed on our system as follows :
Lynnfield Center Feeder 120 K. V. A.
North Reading Feeder 85 K. V. A.
Wilmington Feeder 135 K. V. A.
Power Station Bus 300 K. V. A.
These installations have greatly improved the power factor of our distribution lines, and reduced the unaccounted for kilowatt hours. They have provided capacity for additional load and have reduced voltage fluctuations due to motor starting.
The average annual power factor of the system in 1941 was 82.7 per cent, which was raised to 85.6 per cent during the year just ended.
Control relays have been installed on all street lights controlled by time clocks, in order to provide means for turning the lights off from the power station during a blackout.
STREET LIGHTING
19 additional street lights have been installed during the year on the following streets : in Reading, Washington Street 1, Village Street 1, Springvale Road 2, Coolidge Road 1, Wescroft Road 4; in Wilming- ton, Church Street 1, Eames Street 1; in Lynnfield, Carter Road 3, Oxbow Road 2, Homestead Road 2, Summer Street 1.
In an effort to comply with U. S. Army regulations affecting sky glow from Reading street lights, the top portion of the globes were painted black on 160 lamp fixtures, and 5 sodium vapor fixtures were re- placed with Form 79 General Electric fixtures. The current on the street light circuits was also reduced about 10 per cent. This work was done in May and in November additional Army requirements ex- tended the dim-out area to include North Reading, Wilmington, and Lynnfield and called for dim-out hoods or skirts on all types of fixtures which were not included in the previous order.
224
The necessary material has been ordered to effect the shading as required and after installation the current on the Reading circuits will be restored to normal.
The kilowatt hours sent out on the Reading circuits were 414,230, at an average cost of 3.147 cents computed in accordance with the method defined by statute. This makes a total cost of $13,035.82. The appropriation for street lighting was $15,000.00.

METER DEPARTMENT
We purchased 100 new meters and removed from service 17 old meters which were no longer suitable for operation. 8 meters were destroyed by fire while in service in customers' premises.
207 outdoor meter enclosures were installed, making the total num- ber of meters installed on the outside of buildings 3742, which is more than half of the total number in service. As the change of a meter lo- cation from the inside to the outside of a building requires critical material, we discontinued this work about the middle of the year.
Repairs of meters included the replacement of 485 defective jewels, 635 pivots and the attachment of 66 temperature compensating shunts. 170 meters were repaired and 1872 meter tests were made during the year.
GARAGE
The automotive equipment includes seven trucks and seven pas- senger type cars. One 1935 coupe and one 1937 panel body truck were exchanged during the year for two 1941 coupes.
The total car miles for the year was 113,897, a reduction of about 11 per cent over 1941, due to the necessity of conserving gasoline and rubber.
225
The average cost per mile was 4.214 cents and details of the ex- penses are shown in the following table :

LAMP AND APPLIANCE DEPARTMENT
The net sales of appliances was $53,717.04 and the net selling ex- pense, including free installations and advertising, was $2,684.26. 1252 items were sold, among which were 155 ranges, 74 refrigerators, 39 water heaters, 71 washers, 178 flat irons, 120 toasters and 127 portable lamps.
It is estimated that with normal usage the appliances sold will consume annually over 400,000 kilowatt hours, which, at the present average rate, should produce an income in excess of $12,000.00 per year.
There follows an itemized statement of receipts and expenses cov- ering merchandising and jobbing :

POST-WAR IMPROVEMENTS
When critical materials are no longer needed by the United Na- tions to prosecute the war, we should proceed with the completion of the underground construction on High Street and Lowell Street, the estimated cost of which is $26,332.00.
At the annual town meeting in March 1941, there was an appropria- tion of $5,000 voted to be expended for materials to be used in co- operation with the Federal Government for a W. P. A. project in ex- tending the underground system on Lincoln Street, Prescott Street, Summer Avenue and Temple Street. As W. P. A. Funds were not available this appropriation was not used, and no work was done on the project.
The estimated cost of this project when completed, including street lamp posts and house connections is $64,723.00.
There is available in the Depreciation Fund the sum of $30,176.93, and with the increases in this fund on account of transfers from the Operation Fund during this year and next, we should be able to com- plete these two underground projects without increasing our bonded indebtedness.
I recommend that consideration be given to the above method of financing these projects, which should be completed at the proper time after the war.
A summary of cash receipts and expenditures, statement of the various funds, book value and total cost of the plant, together with sta- tistics pertaining to the plant and a list of bills remaining unpaid at the close of the year is appended.
Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR G. SIAS, Manager
