PASADENA. June 27.--The officials OF
the three banks OF Pasadena, desiring to
express their feelings towards their
patrons for the manly way they stood by
them in the late financial difficulty, met
this morning and passed the following:
WHEREAS, At the outset of financial
furry that, though causeless, had re-
suited in closing several of the largest
banks in our neighboring city OF Los An
geles, and those of other towns in this
vicinity, the business men Of Pasadena
voluntarily signed an agreement express
ing full faith In the financial institutions
of this city, and pledging themselves to
maintain their deposits therein intact 30
far as possible; and
Whereas, Those who came forward
and thus pledged their faith, aided by the
press and by the nearly unanimous voice
of the community, succeeded thereby in
allaying public apprehension. and in in
spring confidence;
Resolved, That in this prompt, gener-
GUS and public-spirited action the people
OF Pasadena not only rendered service
to the banks that merits the sincerest
thanks of their officers, directors and
stock holders, but they saved the entire
business interests of the community from
serious injury and disarrsngement, pre-
served its credit unimpairsd and con-
ferred lasting honor upon our beloved
city.
Resolved, That in expressing our sense
OF obligation to the citizens OF Pasadena
for thus lending their powerful support
to the maintenance OF confidence in a
- s.fo al ,.I -, IL
trust, when business is generally pros
porous and when, as we confidently be-
lieve, depositors in our banks were never
more secure, we repeat our firm convic-
ton that in the course pursued the very
highest and best interests of the city as
q whole were subserved.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
spread upon the directors records of the
First National, Pasadena National and
San Gabriel Valley banks, and that q
copy thereof be furnished to the press
for publication.
4 THE ELECTRIC ROAD GOES.
3 The county board OF supervisors has
ut last ordered the electric railway
franchise between Pasadena and Los
Angeles advertised for sale over the
route asked for by the Consolidated
company. The franchise calls for the
operation of double track electric
railway.
The board OF trade is to be congratu-
lated upon the success which has at.
tended their efforts to have the super
visors act upon this franchise. for had it
not been for the vigorous action taken
by the committee Of one hundred, the
matter would probably have dragged
al fn~ he a g..
now the electric company can begin
work as soon as the legal form has been
gone through with. giving them plenty
OF time to complete the work before
next winter.
THAT SWITCHING CASE.
As appears from today's Los Angeles
court reports, decision has at last been
rendered by Judge Smith in the case Of
the City OF Pasadena va. Dibble, Santa
Fe engineer who was arrested for switch
ing across Colorado street in violation Of
q city ordinance, in which the court
holds that the council exceeded It's
power In passing the prohipitory or
dinance.
Considerable interest has been taken
in this case from the fact that the ques-
ton of the legality OF the authority OF
the city recorder to try the case was
raised by the defense, that he is not
justice OF the peace as is required by
the state law. 1t seems, however, that
the Judge refused to pass upon the
question, holding it could not prop
erly be raised in this manner
but that direct case must be brought
by the attorney general. 1t has not yet
been decided whether the case will be
carried up, but an attempt will be made
eventually to get the crossing ordinance
before the supreme court.
