A century ago this week, an “opium den” was raided in a Berkeley house on the 2000 block of Blake Street, where this newly built apartment building stands today.A century ago, the University of California Memorial Stadium, having just been completed the previous fall, for the first time was about to be used for UC Berkeley graduation ceremonies.
That main was then going to be connected to a new 12-inch main running along Canyon Road, Prospect Street, Hillside Avenue and Dwight Way, in part to serve the California School for the Blind . A 32-year-old Berkeley woman was hit “and hurled 25 feet” by a speeding car in Oakland. The driver fled, and the victim was seriously injured and not expected to survive.
Finally, in traffic court, UC student Patrick Cobb elected to spend five days in the county jail rather than lose his driving license for a year. He had been charged with driving 42 miles an hour on Telegraph Avenue. Other men at that court session were charged with drunken driving, driving “with mufflers open” and speeding.
