ELECTRICITY BILL SETTLED.
New Contract Made With Morris &.
Somerset Compauv


Somerset Company.
1t took the new board of aldermen
just one week after going into office to
make a settlement with the Morris &
Somerset Electric Co. for the latter's
claim of $4,000 against the town for
electric current furnished the sewer
ejector chambers. Electric machinery
is used for pumping the sewage and
for the current consumed the town
two years ago agreed by contract to
pay 10 cents per kilo watt. The town
began using the current in the fall
of 1910 and up to April, 1911, the com
pany billed the town at the rate of
A cents per kilo watt, the regular
power rate. The contract was then
discovered by a new manager for the
concern and bills since then had been
rendered at the contract price but
the sewerage committee refused to
pay them.
The new board will pay the old
bills up to January lst, from which
time a new contract will be made
for current at 8 cents and the COM
pany will take care of the machinery
for $75 per month. The town has
been paying an electrical engineer
from 500 to $500 per month to keep
the machinery in working order. The
electric company will not give the
town the regular power rate for cur
rent because the current is consumed
by the electors at night, the time of
the peak load of the -company's plant.
