Bridgeport Hydraulic Company Faces Property Assessment Battle
A lengthy petition before the Superior Court challenges a 1923 city action altering two districted tax assessments for the Bridgeport Hydraulic Company. The suit argues the city violated a 1906 contract by grouping property into two districts and fixing higher values, seeking reduction to reflect previous terms and urging the court to order payment of disputed costs. The case centers on district assessments and the legality of the 1923 reassessment and its impact on consumer rates.
