OIL PRODUCTION IN
EAST SHOWS DECREASE
Statistics Show California Only
State Where Crude Out
put Is Growing

1t is a fact of cheering significance
that the California field is the only
oil field in the United States that IS
increasing in production. The districts
In all the other states show marked
falling off, according to the latest sta
tisties from those districts. The great
est shrinkage is in the midcontinent
region. In New York, Pennsylvania,
West Virginia and Southeastern Ohio,
comprising the Pennsylvania field, the
decrease is not so noticeable, showing
about 1900 barrels new production than
in June. In the states of Oklahoma,
Kansas, Northwestern Louisiana and
north Texas, comprising the mid-con-
tinent fields, there were 10S fewer wells
completed in July than in June, the
new production was $4,000 barrels less
and the shrinkage in new work was
sixty-eight. In the gulf coast region
eight more wells were reported in
July than in June, the new production
Los Angeles herald., 1910-08-21

was 1868 barrels greater, with two
more dry holes, and there are nine
fewer rigs and drilling wells on July
81 than on June 30.

HIGH POWER Wires
MAY BE ABOLISHED
City Electrician Favors 0rdi-
nance to Prevent Accidents
From Heavy Voltage

OAKLAND, July 15.-City Electrician
George R. Babcock has placed in the
hands of the ordinance and judiciary
committee of the city council an ordi-
nance to abolish the present three wire
220-440 volt system by which electric
energy is distributed to residences and
business houses in this city. Babcock' s
action. made --the interest of safety
to human life, follows the report made
by an eastern expert whom Mayor Mott
retained to investigate the electric sys-
tenn, and who reported that great dam
ger turks in the heavy wire system in
vogue in Oakland and used in almost
no other city in the country.
Several points were raised in opposi-
tion. and at the request of the repre-
sentatfves of the Oakland gas. light
and heat company the ordinance was
ia abled for one month. During the in
term the city attorney will decide
whether the measure is valid, inasmuch
as the consumer has option as to the
nature of his service, and whether the
city council has, by virtue of it's police
power, the right to enact such an ordi-
nance.
While the ordinance was under con-
sideration letter was read from John
5. Brftton, vice president and general
manager of the Pacific gas and cleo
trio corporation, stating the willing
ness of the Oakland company to reduce
the wires in the central district of
Oakland TO 110 volts at the request of
consumers. Britton declared in his
letter that the cost OF changing the
service throughout the entire city
would be so great as to be prohibitive
of the work.
Babcock, in communication accom-
panying the ordinance declared that
the present system is extremely dan
gerous Death might result from a
shock received, he wrote, by any per-
son who chanced at any time to touch
metal and at the same time be in con-
tact with fixture which had become
charged with 440 volts by the improper
grounding of wire or by break in

Commissioner of Public Health
Wants $4,000 for Public
improvements

BERKELEY. July 15.--Berkeley IS
probably the best policed and one Of
the most sanitary cities OF it's size on
the Pacific coast. according to the an
nuaI report of Commissioner Christian
Hoff. head of the department of public
health and safety. submitted to Mayor
Hodghead today.
Hon urges the calling of bond elec-
ton to secure the $4,000 needed for
Improvements recommended in the re-
port.
He warmly praises Chief OF Police
Vollmer and James Kenney. head OF the
fire department He says they are e1-
icient officers. who in the past have
been working under adverse condl-
tions.
The report ~ecites that there were
All deaths in this city during the last
year and $50 cases of unsanitary con-
ditionS. The sanitary squad or the
police department and the public board
secured the necessary cleanliness IN
each case without arrests being made.
Following the suggestions of Voll-
mer in his report. HOff recommends
that 20 additional alarm boxes be in
stalled for better police protection and
that a patrol wagon be purchased as
soon as possible. He thinks that three
additional men should be appointed TO
the force.
He recommends the distraction OF
the firehouse at Durant and Shattuck
avenues and the erection of a new one,
and believes the house at Shattuck ave-
nue. and Vine street should be removed
to Josephine and Rose streets. He
also recommends the installation of 10
additional fire alarm boxes
