PASADENA, June 19.-The city council
met in regular session this afternoon, all
members present. The minutes OF the
last meeting were read and approved,
while all bills filed to date were referred
to committee without reading.
The rules were then suspended and
and the paving business again bobbed
up serenely. J. d. Bingham addressed
the board regarding the specifications,
stating that he wished to put in bid
for the work, but not liking to do SO
from the irregular manner in which the
resolution of intention had been passed.
Captain Simpson was of the opinion
that the resolution of intention WAS not
specific enough, not covering the same
ground as the specification, while Judge
MCGEE thought the resolution of inten-
ton good.
A reading of the original resolution
was called for, but no action was taken.

ness, an ordinance establishing the
grade of Grove street from Pasadena
avenue to Orange Grove was taken from
the table and passed.
