Corporation Counsel Arthur D. Hill announced in a letter to Mayor Peters that the city has brought suit in Suffolk Superior Court against Edison Electric Illuminating Company for $90,000 alleging illegal electricity charges. The writ is returnable Oct. 3.
A report notes the department of public utilities can order a refund for the city and holds that the 10 percent additional charge and coal clause are unjustly collected between Oct 1, 1917, and the present date. The city argues these charges were collected illegally and seeks reduction in electricity rates.
The city asserts Edison Company overcharged on coal clause and 10 percent wartime increases during the war. Boston says the charges were applied to city contracts for street lighting and municipal electricity, and that past repayments cannot be ordered by the public utilities department.
