PASADENA. Sept. 2.--The squabble be-
tyeen Justice Merriam and J. G. Ros-
altar. attorney -at-lsw. and also city re-
corder, reached climax today when a
writ OF nandemus was issued from
Judge Smiths court, ordering Justice
Merriam to appear before that tribunal
on Monday next and show cause for re-
fusing to give defendant change OF
venue In the civil case Of Burnhem vs.
Ritzmsn and We're.
This 10 the sixth case in which Mr..
Rossiter has appeared as counsel where
q change OF venue has been asked Tor
upon the sworn affidavit OF defendants
that, owing to the prejudice OF the court.
fair and impartial hearing could not
be had.
In each of these casss the motions
have been overruled upon the ground
that sufficient showing had not been
made.
All this has not been to Mr.. Rossiter's
liking. and as result the mandatory
proceedings have been commenced.
Justice Merriam states that he will APP
pear before Judge Smith at the date
named and show why the changes OF
venue have not been allowed.
The contest between the justice and
attorney has been going on for some
time, having its origin in the city re-
cordsrship fight, and it Is to be hoped
that the present proceedings will settle
the affair one way or the other, for under
the present condition the local court is
( working under a disadvantage, which
seriously impedes ite usefulness.
ss THE BUILDING BOOM
In a line with the article upon the
business outlook in Pasadena which APP
peared in today's HERALD, the Star de-
votes considerable space to summary
of the building operations going on in
this city at present.
Commenting upon the list, which is
given in full. 1t says:
''The Star presents to-day the follow
ing facts regarding building operations
In Pasadena. They have been gathered
from authentic sources and can be de-
pended upon as correct. The list en-
braces buildings that are In ctual course
OF erection or that have just had the
finishing touches put upon them. The
total number listed is 56 and their value
foots up total of $4S6,950. Consider
ing all the circumstances, this is' o
remarkably good showing-better, we
opine, than any town in California OF
similar size can make.
.'The list OF new buildings might be
: considerably extended ii those for which
plans have been ordered but upon which
work has not actually begun were in
tcluded. The showing is good enough
as 1t is, betokening a healthy and SUBJ
stantial growth in the city, such az it
has not enjoyed for years."
There are few cities which at present
can show such record, and it speaks
well for the enterprise and push Of our
citizens.
