BERKELEY, March 1.-Instructions
were given City Attorney Frank d
Stringham by the city council this
morning to look into the constitution
atty of the act of 1909. under which
annexation between Berkeley and Oak
land is being attempted. This action
was the result of an appeal by dele
cation of citizens.
The council authorized Stringham to
employ such legal talent as he saw fit
and the commissioners intiInated that
the movement for. annexation will be
fought hard.
A week ago Mayor Beverly l.. Hodg-
head and Attorney Stringham declared
that in their opinion, the act under
which petitions for annexation are be-
ing circulated was unconstitutional,
and lawyers of this city have backed
them in their belief.
If the case reaches the. courts it will
be fought out until the highest tribunal
in the estate passes ON the act.
:. This. will be possible on account of
the financial backing which j. Arthur

transfer to her property known as the
Portola apartments in exchange for
property she had. AT the time the
agreement was made. he says, it was
understood by both parties that his
property was subject to a mortgage of
s17,500. The written agreement, how
ever, recited that his property was
free from all incumbrance. Humphrey
now declares. that it was his intention
and the. understanding of both that
the words except as hereinafter pro-
vided for should be inserted.
When he offered to go ahead with
the transfer Mrs. Kleeman refused to
do so until the mortgage was released
He now asks the court to make her
perform her part of the bargain and
reimburse him for the loss he says he
has suffered.
