LIGHTS IMPAIRED,
A Log From the Folsom Boom Di.
minished the Electric Current

mAu1Sneu the Electric Current.
The shutting down Of the lights last
night over large part of the city by
the Sacramento Electric, Gas and Rail-
way Company puzzled many people.
AT the office of the company it was
explained to the Record Union" that
the breaking of the Folsom boom was
responsible for the lack of lights. A
large log got so wedged against a gate
leading to the canal through which the
water power for the company comes
that the gate could not be opened to
admit the requisite supply.
The company was confronted with
the problem of a water famine in the
midst of a flood, for the high waters
rolled the log against the flood gate
and held it there so tightly as to pre-
vent it's use. The hindrance was be-
lieved to be only temporary, however,
for it was thought that the gate could
be used when the water fell from
fifteen to twelve feet over the dam.
The reason that lights were supplied
to a part of the city was that, in the
loss of power adequate to light the en-
tire city it was found necessary to shut
off lights from portion of it and run
the other portions with what power
was left The trouble was remedied
shortly before midnight
