 440 # From Paul Eggert (2016-08-20):
 441 # In early February 1948, in response to California's electricity shortage,
 442 # PG&E changed power frequency from 60 to 59.5 Hz during daylight hours,
 443 # causing electric clocks to lose six minutes per day.  (This did not change
 444 # legal time, and is not part of the data here.)  See:
 445 # Ross SA. An energy crisis from the past: Northern California in 1948.
 446 # Working Paper No. 8, Institute of Governmental Studies, UC Berkeley,
 447 # 1973-11.  http://escholarship.org/uc/item/8x22k30c
 448 #
 449 # In another measure to save electricity, DST was instituted from 1948-03-14
 450 # at 02:01 to 1949-01-16 at 02:00, with the governor having the option to move
 451 # the fallback transition earlier.  See pages 3-4 of:
 452 # http://clerk.assembly.ca.gov/sites/clerk.assembly.ca.gov/files/archive/Statutes/1948/48Vol1_Chapters.pdf
 453 #
 454 # In response:
 455 #
 456 #   Governor Warren received a torrent of objecting mail, and it is not too much
 457 #   to speculate that the objections to Daylight Saving Time were one important
 458 #   factor in the defeat of the Dewey-Warren Presidential ticket in California.
 459 #     -- Ross, p 25
 460 #
 461 # On December 8 the governor exercised the option, setting the date to January 1
 462 # (LA Times 1948-12-09).  The transition time was 02:00 (LA Times 1949-01-01).
 463 #
 464 # Despite the controversy, in 1949 California voters approved Proposition 12,
 465 # which established DST from April's last Sunday at 01:00 until September's
 466 # last Sunday at 02:00. This was amended by 1962's Proposition 6, which changed
 467 # the fall-back date to October's last Sunday. See:
