THAT 25-CENTs RATE.
As will be noticed in today's report oil
the council proceedings, the city has
called time on the Terminal company
and asks that they restore rates to where
they were two years ago-that is, 25
cents for round-trip fare between this
place and Los Angeles. At the time the
concession regarding rates was passed,
the Terminal station was back of the
Arcade block, and was operated from
PASADENA avenue over franchise grant,
cd by the present council, In which there
WAS q clause calling for q 25-cents rate.
This section OF the road is now not
used, and the Terminal company one-
rates entirely over the original franchise
granted the Pasadena Railway company.
and which was acquired by the Term.
lnal when they came into this city.
This franchise says nothing about rates
and 1t would seem that the Terminal
people have got rather the better OF the
bargain, as lar 40 the authority of the
city is concerned. unless they can be
cornered by means OF short piece OF
track near the Raymond, which was not
included in the original Pasadena Rail-
way compAny's franchise and is operated
over the original Alley franchise. It is
claimed that this franchise provides for
20 cents rate, and if this is correct the
company can probably be compelled to
make the original rate.
NOTES.
Colonel Pratt is stationed at San
Diego at present with his photograph.
Inc residents of Old Fair Oaks very
properly ask that it name be changed to
Lincoln avenue. owing TO the confusion
with New Fair Oaks.

oer Ine auspices Of the Sons of Veterans
