HISTORICAL SKETCH OF CHAMBERSBURG ELECTRIC LIGHT DEPARTMENT
On August 29, 1874, the following named persons applied for a Charter to furnish electric current for lighting in the Borough of Cham- bersburg, under the name of "The Franklin Electric Company":
James McKnight and Agent
B. M. Nead Van T. Haulman
B. Frank Gilmore
William McKnight
Samuel L. Hawbaker
J. Spoonhour
W. Lynn Ritchey
William Nixon
George A. Britsch
William Sellers
M. A. Foltz
C. H. Fulwiler
D. Alonza Orr William Orr John Hart
John A. Orr
The stock in this Company was stated at $25.00 a share, but just how much stock was issued is not a matter of record.
There is some doubt as to the year this Company started to furnish current in Chambersburg, but that it was in business in Chambersburg has been established beyond question. How extensive their business was at that time, it is now impossible to state.
The plant consisted of a belt driven generator using a steam traction engine as power, and the equipment was located in the old brick and weatherboard building known as the "Ebersole Building", which stood immediately on the West bank of the Conococheague Creek on the South side of Lincoln Way West, and which has just recently been demolished by the Western Maryland Railway Company. This was the first electric plant that was ever operated in Chambersburg, and certainly could not have stayed in business very long. Some of the citizens of Chambers- burg remember distinctly seeing these electric lamps suspended above the streets. and at that time were impressed with the fact that they did not blow out when the wind blew.
In the year 1883 there was constructed, in the shops of the Cumber- land Valley Railroad Company, a portable electric light plant which consisted of boiler, steam engine, and one arc lamp generator with a capacity of fifteen 2,000 candle-power open arc lamps. This car operated successfully under the supervision of Charles S. Hull from the very beginning, and in 1884 lighted arc lamps around the Public Square for the Centennial, and this same year lighted the grounds for a base- ball game which was played at night. This game was played in a field lying East of Kennedy Street and North of King Street, just about where the Byer Brothers' Green House is located at the present time.
In 1889 this portable electric light plant was rebuilt, under the supervision of Mr. Hull, for a capacity of forty 2,000 candle-power open arc lamps. This plant was frequently used for the lighting of impor- tant construction work along the Cumberland Valley Ralilroad, as well as the lighting of serious wrecks. It was also used for the lighting of the Granger's Picnic Ground at Williams Grove, and many of us recall the lighting of the Mt. Alto Park Grounds. Mr. Hull was a mechanical genius, and one of the beautiful things he created, with this car and an arc lamp, was a fountain which sprayed steam of different colors up above the car roof. Mr. Charles S. Hull will be remembered as a kindly old gentleman, and one of the first to take up seriously the possibility of electric lighting in this section.

MUNICIPAL ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT-1942
On November 29, 1889, after a vote had been taken by the citizens of Chambersburg to increase the indebtedness of the Borough by an amount not exceeding $10,000.00 for the purpose of installing an Electric Light Plant to light the streets of the Borough, a contract was placed for the necessary electrical equipment with the Thompson-Houston Electric Light Company at a price of $9,797.50. This plant was installed solely for furnishing lighting for the streets of the town. The plant was operated from dark in the evening until twelve o'clock midnight, except on moonlight nights when it was not operated at all.
In 1893, the Borough went into the commercial phase of furnishing current to consumers. It was a far step from this first plant to the present up-to-date efficient plant, and the citizens of Chambersburg are certainly to be congratulated on having had sufficient intelligence to keep this valuable utility for their very own.

1941-16,243,700 kilo-watt hours.
1942-18,996,100 kilo-watt hours.
During the year 1942, the peak load on the Electric Light Plant reached 4,150 kilo-watts, which involved the operation of two 2,500 Kilo-Watt Turbine-Generators. The total generated in kilo-watt hours during the year was 20,046,547 kilo-watt hours, or approximately 16% increase in kilo-watt hours generated over the year 1941.
When the trend toward these tremendous increases in output and demands on equipment was observed in 1940, Council authorized the making of the necessary studies, to determine, as nearly as possible, the demands that may be made on the Plant in the near future, in order that such steps as might be necessary could be taken to meet the demands for energy. These studies were started early in 1940, and consumed a great amount of labor and time. The studies, with all supporting data, were completed, and a final report made by the Consulting Engineer, Mr. A. C. Wood, on December 18, 1941. On February 9, 1942, Council authorized Mr. Wood to proceed with the plans and specifications covering the enlargement and improvement as he had recommended.
Unfortunately, just about the time the plans and specifications were ready to be released for bids, the War Production Board froze all such equipment, and bids could not be secured. The load on the Electric Light Plant continued to grow, and it was apparent that the generating capacity of the plant would have to be augmented in some manner, if the demands upon it were to be met. Negotiations were started with the South Penn Power Company, a subsidiary of the Potomac Edison Company, which resulted in arrangements being made to secure a tem- porary supply of 2,500 kilo-watts, which, it is felt, will be sufficient to meet all demands on the plant until such time as the markets will again become stabilized and the equipment available. It is anticipated that

the Borough of Chambersburg will be taking energy from this source by the beginning of September, 1943.
The total cash and credits in this Department for 1942 were $408,739.50, and the total operating and non-operating expenses were $166,224.61, including $35,767.33 for depreciation, leaving a total gross profit of $242,514.89.
Beginning with January 1, 1933, a Standard Public Utilities Ac- counting and Bookkeeping System was installed for this Department, which involved the making of an appraisal. The Reproduction Value New, less accrued depreciation as of December 31, 1942, was $623,966.37.
