Haverhill rate case delays probe into Edison Electric
Experts will review the Edison Electric Illuminating Companys books as the board conducts its own investigation ahead of a September hearing. The delay stems partly from court actions over the 80 cent gas rate for Haverhill, now before federal courts. The case tests whether a utility may earn a return on reinvested surplus, while Edison serves Boston and suburbs including Framingham Milton Canton Dedham Natick Somerville Arlington Woburn Winchester Waltham Chelsea. In 1912 the firm served 43 246 customers with a maximum rate of 10 cents per kilowatt hour and 60 per year demand charges. Springfield Electric recently cut its rate from 10 to 9 cents for larger users.

A tense town meeting in Revere ended with the Selectmen barring citizens and reporters, a reporter hiding in the town vault, and police enforcing orders to disperse. Charges against Acting Chief Chainey were debated for a public meeting two weeks later amid accusations of neglect, liquor-law enforcement failures, and misused patrol staffing.
