The Electric Road Matter-A Cannery
Needed.
PASADENA, June 16.-A we'll attended
board of trade meeting was held this
morning upona call from the chair for q
special meeting to hear the report of the
committee OF 100 citizens appointed to
interview the supervisors upon the elec-
trio road franchise.
President Keyes reported. as chair
man of the committee, the result of the
visit to the supervisors, stating that at
first the board insisted upon the COM
mittee procuring the consent OF 80 per
cent of the property owners to the
widening OF Pasadena avenue to SO feet,
but at a subsequent meeting the super
visors had consented to withdraw their
demand for street widening, but would
declare the whole street a highway,
leaving no sidewalk, and proceed to the
consideration OF the franchize. Mr..
Keyes related that the committee had
succeeded beyond their expectations in
their efforts with the board, and that ii
nothing interfered the electric road
would soon be an assured fact.
The question OF rates was brought up
and the chair referred to Mr.. Arthur of
the legal committee for an answer. Mr..
Arthur stated that the board of super
visors was unwilling to place any re-
strictions upon what charge should be
made within the corporate limits of
cities, believing it be outside OF their
jurisdiction, but in the county the rate
would he fixed ar cents
The South Pasadena council has al
ready sold franchise to the electric
road through that place, in which it is
provided that not more than 10 cents
shall be charged to any point on the
line in Los Angeles, and as the franchise
which it prepared to use in this city
calls for cent rate within the limits,
no more than 10 cents could be charged
each way.
This, even at full Jare round trip rate
of 80 cents, would be material reduc-
tion from the present rate OF So cents,
notwithstanding street car fare in both
this city and Los Angeles which brings
the total at present up to 55 cents.
Upon motion OF Mr. Wright the report
of the committee was accepted and the
on 5SIs9h Ssa9lhh wsiiRiasce. owner of the cannery
meeting in relafr6aTsp1e, addressed the

Gently disincorporated on account OF the

p Mr.. Kernaghan, who was interested in
the old company, stated that the works
were operated at profit last year, and
that letters had been received from east
ern buyers saying that from 40 to so per
cent more goods could be used.
AS 1t is very necessary that some ar
.rangements be made to take care of the
coming fruit crop, it was desired that
the board lend all possible assistance In
the formation Of the proposed stock
company.

matter it was referred to the committee
