City Council OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
the Lord.
PASADENA, May 21.-Tomorrow after
noon the city council will once
more wrestle with the street
paving specifications, probably for the
last time, and 1t is to be hoped that q
broad view OF the situation may be taken
by the most honorable board and q set
of specifications psssed that will allow
bids TO be received for either asphaltum
or bituminous rock as covering for the
cement foundation.
By doing so there is no doubt but that
they would be meeting the wishes OF
large majority of the Interested property
owners and the community at large
which, for obvious reasons, dislike to
see this paving business fall into the
hands OF monopoly to the detriment OF
the pocket books OF the property owners
who will be called upon to meet the ex.
pense.
AS regards the cement base 1t Is sbso-
lutely necessary in order to procure
the best foundation that the specifica-
tions call for imported English Port
land cement as there are number OF
brands of domestic cement called Port
land cement. which come at q much
lower rate than the imported article but
are OF an inferior quality and would not
do at all for street work. The question
OF sufficiently heavy roller is also an
important one.
The most experienced paving men
claim that nothing less than 28-ton
machine should be used, that the com
mon 7-ton roller will not do the work in
a satisfactory manner.
It is probable that members of the
citizens committee win be present at
tomorrow's council meeting and present
many OF the points for the consideration
OF that body.
That we want our streets paved is uni
versslly agreed, but there is q further
determination upon the part OF the in
terested parties that this pavement shall
he of the best material, put down in a
permanent manner.
ROBBED THE LORD.
un,ssA aan~ilaoinns thiaf rnhhefi tha
evening of considerable Gum, the exact
amount not being known. The box IL
located at the entrance to the union
room on North Fair Oaks avenue, and
the guilty party in some way obtained a
key and helped himself to the contents.
From the manner in which the money
was taken it ia thought that some one
living at the union, or we'll acquainted
with the surroundings, must have emp
tied the box.
A STRANGE PET.
A little chap with large snake six or
seven feet long, created considerable ex-
citemsht on the streets last evening by
carrying the snake, which was e vicious
hooking specimen, around III his hands.
playing with it the same as q pet dog.

along were almost frightened out of their
wits by the sight, and apolice officer
was called upon to se6 that the yuune.
