BERKELEY FACES
GARBAGE CRISIS
All Avenues for the Dumping OF
Refuse Are Now Tightly
Closed

BERK ELEY, April 3.-Although the
chamber of commerce of this city took
the reins of the garbage question in
its hands today to try to force the resi-
dents of the Ocean View district out
side the town limits to accept Berke-
ley's garbage the problem Of disposing
of refuse matter is still unsolved, A
delegation of the body waited upon
the officials of the San Francisco chem
teal works in San Francisco this aft
ernoon, but that company had revoked
its permit for garbage dumping and,
confronted by an injunction of Judge
Melvin and the refusal of the chemical
company to allow dumping of refuse
matter, the chamber of commerce could
effect no relief for the situation which
portends the tying up of the garbage
wagons for an indefinite period, to the
discomfort of Berkeley's householders,
who in many cases have keenly felt
the crisis.
INJUNCTION NOT NEEDED
The chamber Of commerce, at it's
meeting last night, took the garbage
matter out of the hands of the trus-
tees and secured the services of r. c..
Stats, city attorney, to fight the in
junction proceedings in court in order
that garbage could be dumped in tAs
old bone yard site outside the town
limits near Mckeever's hill Attorney
Stats was instructed to obtain an early
hearing of the Injunction which had
been secured by W. M. Wright, one of
the residents of the district, yesterday y
afternoon Stats was promised an
early hearing of the case, but his work
was rendered fruitless by the an
nouncement this morning from the San
Francisco chemical works that no more
dumping of garbage on their property
would be allowed. even if the inJunc-
tion was dissolved.
Confronted by this news, President
G. B. Ocheltree, w. d. Irwin and Percy
Rochester visited the officials of the
company in San Francisco today, but
their efforts TO obtain the use of the
dumping ground were fruitless.
THREAT TO SHUT OFF WATER
1t is understood that the action OF
the chemical company was due to the
fact that Chris Burcher and John Gill
who own the piece of property at the
corner of Buchanan and San Pablo
avenue, have threatened to shut off the
water supply of the chemical company
if they continue to allow the dumping
of garbage on their property.
Owing to the unexpected turn in the
garbage war Berkeley is without a
place on which to dispose of it's refuse
matter. Every avenue of relief is shut
of and both trustees, scavengers and
chamber of commerce are at their wits
end to solve the difficulty.
A special meeting of the chamber Of
commerce has been called tomorrow
night to try TO find way out of the
dilemma

ASK FRANCHISE FORFEITED
Refs Tract Residents Appeal to
the SuperyisOrs

Edwin D. Jarvis and other residents
of the Refs tract fled petition with
the supervisors yesterday, asking that
the franchises Of the Bay Shore water
company and the County Line water
company, corporations in which t. B.
Potter is said to control the majority
of the stock, be forfeited. The for
feiture is asked on the alleged ground
that the companies have compelled the
Refs tract water consumers to pay
supervisors
The present move by the Refs tract
property owners is the outgrowth Of
the trouble over the water supply in
that district. The residents charge
that the flood gates of the reservoir
were thrown open few nights ago
and the water permitted to run to
waste.
