PASADENA, Dec 3.-On the 10th day
of September, 1892, the city coun-
Gil of Pasadena passed an ordi-
nance, in substance, that on and after
80 davs from the date OF this ordinance
no switching OF trains cars or engines
shall be done across Colorado street by
any party or parties; and further, that
any person or persons violating the pro-
visions of this ordinance shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor.
The ordinance was intended to stop
the switching of Santa Fe trains across
Colorado street, and when presented
met the determined opposition Of both
the railroad company and Mr.. Pinney,
who owns private switch that is
effected by the ordinance.
Since that time the railroad company
has continued TO switch across the
street rs usual, paying no attention to
the ordinance, taking the ground that
the city exceeded its authority in pass
ing the prohibitory measure.
Yesterday warrant was sworn out
against John Dibble. Santa Fe freight
engineer, charging him with the viola
ton OF this ordinance.
A test case will be made to ascertain
whether the city has right to the con-
troll of its streets or not.
