Light Co. Cites War
AS Reason for Not
Reducing Price
Edison Concern Says Cost Of
Coal and Labor Prohibit
Seven-Cent Rate
By BRIGGS

The war is the reason assigned by
the New York Edison Company for its
request to the Public Service Commits
sion that it be released from its tenta-
tive promise to make the price of light
seven cents an hour after June l. This
price was agreed to last January, when,
on it being proposed that the commits
sion value the company's property to
obtain a basis for fair rate, the COM
panv voluntarily reduced its price from
eight cents to seven and one-half and
agreed 70 the further reduction of one
half cent this month if business condi-
tions warranted.
The company now contends that the
high prices of coal and labor make it
impossible to keep this part OF the
agreement on which Mayor Mitchell,
representing the city. insists.
The reopening Of the rate matter was
the occasion yesterday Of Public Ser
vice Commissioner Travis II. Whitney
calling attention 10 the fact that City
Chamberlain Milo II. Maltbie, former
member of the commission. was en-
gaging in private work which would
prevent his appearance at the hearing.
zone of the great difficulties In the
New York Edison case and the reason
why the commission had TO take the
settlement it did at the beginning Of
this year, instead of fixing a rate which
might have been better for the con-
sumers, was because it was the best the
commission could do in order to get an
immediate reduction in the rates for
the consumers said Mr.. Whitney.
This case was started in 1912, and Mr..
Maltbie as presiding commissioner
failed to order valuation Of the prop
erty, with the result that when this
commission took charge of the matter
il was to a considerable extent helpless,
due to the fact that there was no valua-
