GAS AND ELECTRIC
CHARGE ATTACKED
immigration Commissioner North
Complains of the Fee for
Installing Service

BERKELEY, July 21-Declaring that
the Oakland gas, light and heat company
and the Berkeley electric lighting COM
pany, which supply electricity and
gas to residents OF this city, are vio-
lating a state law by making a charge
for installing meters and establishing
service, H. II. North, federal commits
sioner Of immigration, a resident of
Berkeley, addressed letter to Mayor
Beverly Hodghead. which was laid be-
fore the city council today for action.
North declared that the charge of
the corporation was in direct violation
with a section of the civil code which
made the law on the subject plain. He
said that the fact that most people can
not wait the necessary length of time
or afford the cost of litigation was the
reason that the exaction of the light
company was not contested.
North's letter, which was referred to
the city attorney, follows:
Section 629 of the civil code of Cali
fornia provides that when written ap-
plication is made to gas company by
the owner or occupant of a building or
premises for electrical and gas service
days under the penalty of $50. and s5
per day hereafter, when the electrical
main or the direct or primary wires are
not more than 100 feet fom the prem
ises.
Notwithstanding this plain provi-
sion of the law, the gas and electric
company serving Berkeley are making
a charge for electric and gas connec-
tions to new premises, s. being the
minimum electrical charge, $50 being
the minimum gas charge.
1T seems to me that this is contrary
to the law, but the companies take
advantage of the fact that most people
can not wait the necessary length OF
time or afford the cost of litigation 1t
is requested that this matter pc caileo
to the attention Of your city attorney
and city council in the hope that some
penal regulation may be passed put
ting a stop to this injustice.
