MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP. Official replies to inquiries relative to action about a municipal gas or electric lighting plant have been received from 182 towns and cities, including all the cities and substantially all the towns in which the population exceeds 1,500 and in which no such action has previously been taken. Except as stated on pages 172-174, following, none of these have taken action during the year. Pages 167-171 contain a tabular statement intended to show briefly all action within the State in respect to the municipal ownership of gas or electric light plants prior to 1909. The pages following contain carefully prepared abstracts from the reports of town officers showing, in two sections, the history of this subject during the last calendar year. The first section (pages 172-174) exhibits the action of those towns which are not engaged in the lighting business, but have during the year considered propositions to undertake it. The second section relating to municipal plants in actual operation contains two parts: the first part (pages 175-202) setting forth certain financial data relative to the preceding municipal fiscal year, with the estimates and appropriations for the current fiscal year, taken from information furnished the Board by various town officers, and the second part (pages 203-219) setting forth certain general financial and physical data relative to the plants from the returns made to the Board as of June 30, 1909. In Appendix B will be found, under date of June 30, 1909, the separate balance sheets, profit and loss and manufacturing accounts from the annual returns of the different municipalities. Appendix E contains detailed statistics relative to the municipal plants, compiled from the annual returns of June 30, 1909.
