MANAGER'S REPORT
To the Municipal Light Board
Gentlemen:
The year 1953 was marked by a continuation of the strong growth that characterized previous post-war years. Most noteworthy was the record increase in output of electricity to customers. In the face of continuous cost increases and delays in construction occasioned by two years of Federal restrictions on materials and apparatus in connection with national defense measures, the task of supplying this record output was met and the year was a good one as can be known from the following facts and figures.
Highlights of the year are presented below followed by complete financial summaries and statements. Photographs of substation equip- ment placed in operation last year are found on other pages.
ENERGY PURCHASED: 37,704,718 Kilowatt Hours. Last year's im- provement in load or "use" factor lowered the cost of electricity pur- chased at our power station to effect a saving of about $6,200 as the average cost per kilowatt hour dropped to 1.57 cents.
ENERGY SOLD: 34,235,914 Kilowatt Hours. Customers used more than 41/2 million kilowatt hours above those recorded in 1952 or double the volume of six years ago, indicating a growth rate considerably greater than the pre-war national average of doubling in ten years.
OPERATING REVENUES: $1,059,733.38. Customers received more electricity per dollar as the average revenue per kilowatt hour con- tinued its historical downward trend in 1953 to register a new low of 3.09 cents, a 3% decline from the 3.19 cents average revenue received per kilowatt hour in 1952.
OPERATING EXPENSES: $928,192.51. The share of revenues re- quired for operating expenses continued to rise. Nevertheless the increase in volume of energy output was proportionately greater and thus reduced last year's average expense per kilowatt hour to 2.71 cents from the 2.78 cents of the previous year.
PAYMENT TO THE TOWN TREASURER (IN LIEU OF TAXES) : $64,439.38. In accordance with a motion at the annual town meeting in March, 1953, the department paid $64,439.38 to the Town Treasurer an amount equal to 21/2 per cent of the total cost of fixed plant and
126
general equipment as of December 31st of the preceding year plus 10 per cent of the net income for the preceding year as defined in Chapter 164 of the General Laws.
In twenty years contributions made by the Light Department to the Town Treasurer in lieu of taxes have totalled to $300,230.48.
CUSTOMERS: 10,326. Service was extended to 422 new customers during 1953, a number slightly higher than the 412 average number of new connections added yearly since the end of the last war.
PEAK LOAD: While customers' meters were recording a 1512 per cent increase in consumption of kilowatt hours for the year the maxi- mum load they used in any 1/2 hour interval during the December peak season was only 61/2 per cent above that of the year before to continue an improvement realized in recent years in the average use or load factor. Expenditures for capacity and for unit expenses per kilowatt hour become proportionately less as this factor improves.
ADDITIONS TO PLANT: $215,387.29. Major additions in 1953 included a 13,800 volt insulated aerial cable line which went into operation on July 29 to supply a 3000 KVA outdoor load center trans- former unit in Wilmington, thus making available at the Ash St. station capacity equal to the load formerly supplied through the trans- formers in Reading. This installation provides capacity for present load levels for about the same cost as the 4,160 volt feeders formerly used with improvements in operating performance and efficiency.
An insulated aerial cable line to North Reading was put in service on December 7th to temporarily operate as a 4,160 volt feeder prior to use at 13,800 volts later this year to supply a 3,000 KVA outdoor load center transformer unit with metal clad switchgear circuit controls. This arrangement also will provide capacity for recent and future growth more economically than if the enlargements were made by a continuance of 4,160 volt overhead construction, and will make the facilities previously used available for service in Reading.
On December 22nd a new 4,160 volt feeder provided 1,200 KVA line capacity to a southerly area of Reading, including the entire industrial zone along Ash St. Nearly half this capacity is available for pros- pective industrial plants.
Three newly added 48 KVA voltage regulators were installed at the Ash St. station on a spare underground cable line connecting to all overhead circuits which now can have controlled voltage whenever this cable is required to serve in place of any of the undeground cables regularly used.
Extensions and enlargement of distribution facilities to new and existing connections required an expenditure of about $67,000 for 1184 KVA net additional line transformer capacity, 599 new meters, poles, conductors and for new street lights.
Last year's additions to general equipment included the purchase of a new heavy duty line truck and two-way radio communication from the Ast St. station to five mobile units installed on line service vehicles. These additions have greatly expedited the service.
The Light Department has been mindful of its duty to cooperate with other Town Departments in all matters where its prompt attention
127
could assist in expediting activities requiring coordinated efforts, and is grateful for the cooperation received from other Town Departments.
Acknowledgment and appreciation is accorded to the members of the Municipal Light Board for the considerable time, interest and efforts they have devoted to the conduct and guidance of this Department's activities and to employees who have carried out their duties and obli- gations to customers.
In accordance with the provisions of Section 57, Chapter 164 of the General Laws, I submit herewith my estimate of income and expenses of the plant for the year ending December 31, 1954.

To the Municipal Light Board Town of Reading
Massachusetts
We have examined the accompanying balance sheet of the Municipal Light Department of the Town of Reading, Massachusetts, as at Decem- ber 31, 1953, and related statements of income and profit and loss for the year then ended, and reviewed the system of internal control and accounting procedures and, without making a detailed audit of the transactions, have examined or tested accounting records of the De- partment and other supporting evidence, by methods and to the extent we deemed appropriate.
In our opinion said financial statements present fairly the position of the Municipal Light Department as at December 31, 1953 and the results of their operations for the year then ended, in conformity with the "Uniform System of Accounts for Municipal Lighting Plants" as prescribed by the Department of Public Utilities of Massachusetts.

REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN
January 14, 1954
To the Citizens of Reading
I submit my report as Tree Warden for the year 1953.
The department planted forty-six Norway Maples and one hundred and twenty-six Sugar Maples, a total of one hundred and seventy-two trees.
The past few summers have been unusually hot and dry. Due to other work, such as spraying and Dutch Elm removals, we were unable to water these trees as often as we should. Many public spirited citizens watered the trees near their homes and this was a great help in giving them a start.
The older trees are showing the effects of the 1938 hurricane. Forty- one trees were removed from the roadside. Seven of these trees were victims of Maple Wilt Disease, six were destroyed by leaking gas mains, two were removed after hearings and the remaining twenty-six were either dead or in dangerous conditions. These trees were in addition to ten elms removed by the Moth Department under the Dutch Elm Disease program.
Approximately five and one half weeks were spent on line clear- ance for which the Electric Light Department pays all the expense.
I wish to thank the other town departments and all others who have assisted me in the past year.
REPORT OF THE MOTH SUPERINTENDENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Gentlemen:
I submit my report as Moth Superintendent for the year 1953.
The yearly check for Gypsy Moth egg clusters showed no heavy in- festation, with the exception of North Main Street, which is under State supervision.
Two hundred and sixty elms were checked for Dutch Elm Disease. Cuttings from one hundred and thirty of these trees were sent to the Shade Tree Laboratory at Amherst to be cultured. Eighty-two trees were certified as having the disease. This is more than double the number infected in 1952. Two of these trees were on the State highway, twelve were on the roadside or other town property, and the remaining sixty-eight were on private property. All of these trees were removed and burned as soon as possible after they were certified.
The department purchased a 1949 Chevrolet, two ton platform truck, with the money appropriated for this purpose. With the addition of this truck, we were able to operate three spraying machines. Many sprays must be applied within a four or five day period to be effective. For example, the Birch Leaf Miner can only be controlled by spraying within a few days after the adult flys appear. Using three spraying machines we were able to get better control of this pest than in previous years. More spraying was done on private property than in any recent year.
I take this opportunity to thank the Board of Selectmen, the Electric Light Department and all others who have assisted me in the past year.
Respectfully yours,
MAURICE H. DONEGAN, Superintendent.

Each year the Commissioner corrects his esti- mates of the previous year and certifies to us the amount he over or under estimated for the State and County Tax. In the year 1953 we have a credit of $9,380.67 which was the amount over-estimated in 1952. This amount is treated as Available Funds
9,380.67
The transfers voted from Available Funds have already been appropriated in a previous tax levy, and whereas they appear in our total appropriations for the year, are treated the same as receipts. (See under Appropriations amount voted by Transfer.)
