Gas and Electric Light Commissioners. Read. Apr. 6, 1895- BOSTON: 18 POST OFFICE SQUARE. 1895. Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Board of Gas and Electric Light Commissioners respectfully submits its Tenth Annual Report. A change occurred in the membership of the Board in June last, through the resignation of its chairman, Col. John T. Wheelwright, by reason of the law prohibiting members of the Board from engaging in other business. There are now one hundred and twenty-nine companies or individuals under the supervision of the Board; twentyfive of these supply both gas and electric light, forty-six supply only gas, and fifty-eight only electric light. Ten towns are also supplying lights, two of which supply gas and electric light, and the others have electric plants only. There have been no applications during the year by gas companies for leave to do electric lighting, and none of the lighting corporations have changed their names under the provisions of Chapter 360 of the Acts of 1891. The following list gives the names, capital and location of the lighting companies which have been incorporated under the general law during the year: |
