The Paving Ouestion--A Grand Larceny
Case.
PASADENA, May 2.-Nothing but paw
ing was to be heard upon our streets
today, even the busy collectors stopped
long enough to take hand in the ar
gument. The fact is generally conceded
that the cement basis men were the
victors in yesterdays conflict, in fact
that they made a clean sweep Of the
field, and as consequence the asphalt
crowd is feeling very blue.
The action taken by the council was
the only one possible under the circum-
stances. The property owners have got
to pay the fiddler, and they should have
the right of choice, and then If the job
turns out badly they will have the salts
faction OF laying it to the contractors,
and not to the material.
1t is understood that the petition as
suggested by the council in their set OF
resolu tions passed yesterday has been
prepared, and is now being circulated.
There is apparently not the least doubt
but what they will be able to secure the
necessary amount of frontage, which
will then practically take the matter out
Of the councils hands.
PLEADED NOT GUILTY.
The case of James Smith, charged
with grand larceny, came up in Justice
Merriam's court this morning. He
pleaded not guilty and time for trial
was set for tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock. Smith is the man whom
Brown, the North Pasadena saloon man,
claims made away with $3.50 in coin
from bis saloon few days ago. The
officers think they have good case
against him.
A JOLLY PICNIC.
The students and several OF the
faculty of Throop college, to the number
of 65, enjoyed a picnic in the Little
