BERKELEY FIGHT FOR
ITO VOLT CURRENT WON
Britton Promises to Make De-
sired Change

BERKELEY, March 22-In a letter
to the city council this morning John A.
Britton. vice president and general
manager of the Berkeley electric light
company, guaranteed a 110 volt service
in the business and congested parts of
the city instead of the 220 volt power
current which the company is now fur
nishing. The council ordered the COM
munication placed on file without COM
ment.
A fight for the 10 volt system has
been made by various civic clubs of this
city for the last four years. The claim
is made that the higher current does
not give more light, but tends to de-
stroy the globe, and make the meter
register greater amount.
AT the meeting of the council the
application of the Standard oil COM
pany for permission to build ware
house and oil tanks in West street near
Bristol was denied on account of the
numerous protests of residents. The
council suggested that the company
buy larger strip of land to isolate
the plant, but this was declared un-
feasible.
