PASADENA PARAGRAPHS.
THE STREET SWITCHING MATTER
BOBBING UP AGAIN.
A Complaint About wretched Street
Sprinkling Arrival of Iron for
the Mt. Wilson
Railroad.

PASADENA. Sept. Sit seems that the
street switching matter is not yet laid
by, and when the ordinance prohibit
ing all switching on Colorado street
comes up before the council, at the
next meeting, there will be strong pro-
tests. The ordinance in question affects
the Santa Fe company at its Colorado
street crossing, as it has two switches
at this point, on the property OF the
railroad; the other belongs to Mr.. Pin
ney, hay, coal and grain dealer. Mr..
Pinney claims that his sidetrack was
laid in good faith, no objection being
made by the city, and that the ordl-
nance as read will work great injury to
his business. The attitude of the COM
pan7 is that, under it's franchise, the
city has no right to pass an ordinance
prohibiting the road from using its
tracks for all purposes.
Many and loud are the complaints OF
the unbearable dusty condition of many
of our principal streets, only lew
blocks from the center of town, and, as
for the smaller and more remote ones,
the less said the better. On many of
them such thing as a street-sprinkler
was never heard of. Now, as TO who is
to blame for this state of affairs. The
HERALD reporter recently interviewed a
prominent water company man on the
subject, and he stated that at no time
had the supply of water for furnishing
eprinkling carts been limited, and there
was great plenty sor all legitimate
purposes. According to this statement
it would seem that the blame lies with
the city officials in not furnishing ade.
quate means for its distribution.
Rev. Geo. M. Savory, who has been
Congregational minister for the past
eight years, but recently resigned his
charge, as he could not make his views
coincide with those of his church,
spoke yesterday morning in the Opera
house hall, this being the first OF q
series of lectures to be given Sunday
mornings at IL O'Clock in this place.
His subject was: A New Orthodoxy
That Ingersoll Dare Not Attack, or How
Much of the Bible Is Parable? The
speaker held that the present material
manner in which the Bible is expound-
ed, has led the Christian church into
many bypaths and foreign ways, and
has greatly hindered her usefulness.
The subject next Sunday will be The
New Unitarianism and New Trinitarian-
ism One.
