REPORT OF THE RECREATION COMMITTEE
1958
During the nine week summer program on the Reading play- grounds, an average of 1152 boys and girls per day between the ages of 4 and 19 years have been reached and given opportunities to pursue healthy and worthwhile leisure time activities under competent adult supervision.
Each page of the summer notebook reveals a large list of events. Youngsters participate in baseball on four age levels, softball, basket- ball, circle games, story hours, nature study and cookouts. Likewise dramatic and musical programs, football, sand box play, treasure hunts, dodgeball, kickball, tetherball, croquet, badminton, jumprope and shuffleboard find places on the daily calendar.
The instruction program was intensified this year in swimming, tennis, baseball and archery. Swimming instruction gained exception- al momentum at Birch Meadow with daily afternoon lessons where four qualified teachers worked with organized groups. Washington also had an aggressive swim policy. Tennis instruction was offered three afternoons a week. Between times the fifty boys and girls who were regulars at the different areas were urged to practice diligently. The Morning Baseball League completed a junior and senior schedule of eight games per team. Archery enthusiastics grew in number as a daily session of lessons was available at the Junior High. A successful concluding tournament was conducted on three age levels.
A new twilight activity was instituted at Birch Meadow. Softball teams composed of high school boys and men met bi-weekly at 6:30 P.M. to engage in an intramural schedule. On the other three evenings of the week, basketball, archery, horseshoes and tennis claimed the atten- tion of the participants.
Crafts are an important segment of the Reading Park system. Cer- tain youngsters find a wonderful sense of achievement in creating an object of art They love to paint, color, draw or finish articles To aid in this endeavor, each play area is visited twice weekly by the craft supervisor. She brings the special projects. In addition, the local play leader arranges a simple extra craft period at least once a week. Some of the favorite special projects this year included gimp, orange stick and wood craft, bamboo beads, plaster of paris figurines and pins, tex- tile painting, metalwork, stuffed animals, cork coasters and leather- work. Smaller craft creations itemized paper crafts, coloring and draw- ing contests, Christmas ornaments, finger paint, scrap books, Indian headdresses and paper masks.
A series of drawing lessons were started at Washington Park. These increased in popularity and number of participants. Assorted outdoor scenes were viewed and reproduced. Embryo artists were encouraged to sketch at home and at various places of interest.
Special events are the frosting on the recreation cake. They pro- vide the culmination of the week's theme and activities. The parksters report to a designated playground to join in on the event. This sum-
150
mer's spectaculars were Fourth of July field day, doll and pet shows, baby parade and fishing derby, stagemobile, special performers, track meet and talent roundup. Regularly scheduled teenage dances, Wingaersheek beach trips and outdoor movies continue to draw good crowds. Our own free Carnival is the gala windup to the program.
Another 1958 innovation was the adoption and promotion of the Amateur Athletic Union's physical fitness testing program for boys and girls - ages six through sixteen years. The physical tests were ad- ministered to point up to Readingites the need for more stress on physi- cal ability.
In order to carry out a program of this wide scope, recreational personnel of a high calibre are required. The current edition main- tains the standards of previous seasons. The men supervisors are all college graduates - mostly Boston University people this year. The girl play leaders are college students or graduates. Assistant play leaders are fine high school athletes and leaders. All the personnel have a common denominator which is their genuine interest in Read- ing's young people. In order to secure these topnotch personnel, the pay scale must be kept attractive with yearly revisions.
Our boys and girls have the best playground supplies possible. Colorful imaginative stationary apparatus has been installed this sum- mer. Horse and kiddie swings, slides and gliders are the first install- ment of the Recreation Committee's plan to renew or replace permanent park equipment. Next season we will operate the new Glen Meadow playground. This fine new park will serve the west end of town and will replace the present Junior High operation. A strong need exists at Memorial Park for their own wading pool. To attend either of the two town pools, the youngsters must cross busy trafficked Main Street. There is no water facility on the entire east side of the town.
While this report is discussing needs, a word should be inserted about the necessity of an outdoor pool. Our older parksters (over 12 years) and adults must go out of town to swim in the summer which is the most desirable time of the year. This proposed addition to our now existent facilities would aid us to match our recreational program with any other in the state.
Appreciation
Many people over the course of the season lend a hand to recrea- tion. The School Committee through their Superintendent Robert F. Perry have co-operated in every way desired. The Board of Public Works has assigned a definite crew to work the parks. They have given out- standing maintenance service. The Reading Light Department honored requests quickly and courteously and provided necessary electrical pro- gram details.
A word of praise is due to the Reading Chronicle in helping us to reach more townspeople. In order that the most benefit can be obtained from your tax dollar which supports the nine weeks of summer fun, the public must be fully informed of the program.
Families living near the parks have proved to be real neighbors anxious to assist the park staff when they can. To the many friends
151
of recreation in Reading, the department wishes to express apprecia- tion for the evidence of support and interest in the program this year.
Winter Program
Three skating areas will be operated this year, Birch Meadow, Stur- ges Pond, and Memorial Park; all of them lighted, and supervised on the following schedule.
Saturdays 10:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. 2 .: 00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M.
Sundays
2:00 P.M. to
4:00 P.M. Weekdays
3:00 P.M. to 4:30 P.M.
The personnel are all members of the Reading High Hockey Team and will be dressed in red and black hockey jersey for identification and will be under the direction of John Pacino, recreation director.
In view of the amount of interest in hockey it was recognized that the playing of the sport cannot be reasonably prohibited. The super- visors will designate certain sections of the ice for hockey and others for skating. It is our hope that in this manner devotees of each sport will not interfere with each others pleasure.
The Recreation Committee have included in their 1959 budget $700.00 for the purchase of hockey boards for two skating areas. If this money is passed by the town meeting, the boards would be con- structed during the summer and erected next fall. If this is done, hockey playing can be completely separated from the general skating area and the danger to small skaters eliminated. Supervision will still be necessary, however.
The Recreation Committee does not operate a winter basketball pro- gram as this is covered very well by the YMCA.

SIXTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT of
THE MUNICIPAL LIGHT BOARD
for the year ended December 31, 1958
MANAGER'S REPORT
To the Municipal Light Board
Gentlemen:
The year 1958 was marked by new peaks of achievement in the operation of the Municipal Light Department.
Total kwh consumption rose to a new high of 67,708,268 kwh, an increase of 23% over the previous year. Gross revenues also advanced to a new high of $ 1,946,603, a gain of 18% over 1957. Especially impor- tant, however, was the further increase in our load factor (average hourly usage of our facilities) to a new peak of 51%. With this increase the Department has entered a new phase of increased efficiency, plac- ing our operations on a basis which we have long sought to achieve. As a result of this and our steady efforts to reduce costs, our net earn- ings for the year increased 106% over 1957 to a new all-time high of $211,199. This was after providing for depreciation of our facilities of $183,396 and the repayment of debt in the amount of $69,000.
The growth in our operations in 1958, combined with the substan- tial increase in net earnings to a new all-time high, will be reflected in the payment which the Department can make to the Town in 1959 in lieu of taxes and as an increased dividend on the Town's investment in the Light Department. For 1959 this payment will amount to $117,848, an increase of $14,275 over the 1958 payment of $103,573. For the second year in a row the sum which this Department can repay to the Town is equivalent to approximately $3 on the tax rate.
It is interesting to record the rising rate of payments which this Department through growth of the system and increased operating effi- ciency has been able to make to the Town just since 1950.

In an effort to avoid a further increase in the cost of power to the Town, the Department in May, 1957 entered a formal protest before the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities to the request of our sup- plier, the Boston Edison Company, for an increase charge to this De- partment and its other customers. A great deal of work was involved by this Department, the Town Counsel, and others in preparing and pre- senting our point of view to the DPU on this matter. In May 1958, how- ever, the Department of Public Utilities rendered its decision in favor of the Boston Edison Company, following which this Department has been subjected to increased unit power costs according to the new and
154
approved Boston Edison rate schedule. Subsequently your manager and the members of the Municipal Light Board met with the top man- agement of the Boston Edison Company with the objective of obtaining certain adjustments in the over-all formula. Our efforts in this respect, however, were unsuccessful.
Steps were taken during the year to obtain a greater co-ordination of this Department's activities with those of other departments in the Town. To this end your manager and the Municipal Light Board met with the Board of Public Works to attempt to correlate the activities of the two departments insofar as this was possible from the point of view of new construction affecting both departments. I am pleased to report a high degree of success in this area with resulting savings to the Town.
A study of the street light situation was conducted during the year, and many new lights have been installed. This program is continuing and should result in a substantial improvement in the street lighting situation in the Town. Skating areas will have new and better lighting next year as a result of the combined efforts of this Department in co- operation with the Board of Public Works.
I am highly pleased to report a continued marked decrease in ser- vice interruptions and power outage throughout our entire service area. In this respect the record of the Reading Municipal Light Department compares very favorably with and in many respects, I am sure, exceeds that of many communities in the general service area. This can be at- tributed to our policy of steadily improving our distribution facilities through the installation of new and modern equipment as well as a tree-trimming program designed to eliminate the hazards due to storm and other damage.
Construction of new Route 95 has resulted in certain changes in our distribution facilities in and to the Wilmington area. Further changes will take place as construction on this new highway proceeds. Neces- sary service interruptions as a result of this construction have been held to a minimum, however, and it will continue to be our policy to rear- range these facilities with the least possible interruption of service in that area.
I wish to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to the members of the Municipal Light Board for their help and guidance over the past year and to the staff and members of the Department for their continued sincere, conscientious, and faithful work during the year.
HIGHLIGHTS OF 1958 OPERATIONS
PEAK LOAD: 20648 kilowatts, the peak occured Dec. 22, 1958 at 6:00 P.M. An increase of 4584 kilowatts over 1957.
CUSTOMERS: 12,896 Service was extended to 469 new customers of which 132 were in Reading and 337 in the outside towns.
ENERGY PURCHASED: 74,469,404 kilowatt hours. This is an in- crease of 14,059,342 kilowatt hours over 1957 operations. The average cost per kilowatt hour, however, decreased 0.114 cents to 1.489 cents. This is a notable achievement and is due to the efforts of the entire staff to make the operation an efficient and paying business.
155
ENERGY SOLD: 67,708,268 kilowatt hours. This is an increase of 12,831, 628 kilowatt hours over 1957.
OPERATING REVENUE: $1,946,603.25. The average revenue per kilowatt hour dropped to 2.87498 cents from the 1957 figure of 3.00812 cents, decrease of .13314. This is due to larger amounts of energy being used in the last step of the rate and the increased commercial and indus- trial loads.
ADDITIONS TO PLANT: $134,314.82. The deletion of the proposed installation of the Ash Street cables reduced this figure by some $100,000 below the amount previously contemplated. The total plant cost in now $3,869,157.77.
In accordance with provision of Section 57, Chapter 164 of the Gen- eral Laws, I submit here with my estimate of income and expense of the plant for year ending December 31, 1959.

Reading, Massachusetts
We have examined the accompanying balance sheet of the Mun- icipal Light Department of the Town of Reading, Massachusetts as at December 31, 1958 and the related statements of income and profit and loss for the year then ended. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and included such tests of the accounting records and other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet, and statements of income and profit and loss present fairly the financial position of the Municipal Light Department as at December 31, 1958, and the re- sults of its operations for the year then ended, in conformity with the "Uniform System of Accounts for Municipal Lighting Plants" as pre- scribed by the Department of Public Utilities of Massachusetts.
