Proceedings of the Council-The Re-
corder's Ofice-Notes.
PASADENA, Jan. 4.-The council met
in adjourned session this afternoon for
the,purpose of completing business left
over at yesterdays session.
The bond of H. H. Rose as city re-
corder to the amount of $1,000 was re-
ceived, and on motion approved.
Mr.. W. L. McAllieter and Mr.. G. f.
Brooks acted as sureties, both qualify
ing in $1,000.
The oath of Office was then adminis-
tered to Mr.. Rose by President Weed,
and he was declared the duly elected
city recorder of Pasadena,
A petition was received from the City
Railway company asking permission to
change the guage of their Car tracks,
the work to be done in accordance with
ordinance No. 28, regulating these mat
terH.
A petition from the Pasadena Street

meet their tracks corner Fair Oaks

lowed, work to be done under the super
vision of the street uperintendent.

committee recomme ding the payment

ceived and warrants ordered drawn.

Monday next.
HAVE WE A CITY RECORDER?
There will be noticed in today's coun-
Gil proceedings the bond of H. H. Rose
as city recorder was accepted and that
gentleman duly installed in that official
position. AS far as this goes it seems to
be all ship-shape, but provision in the
California municipal bill reads as fol-
lows, referring to cities of the sixth
class, under which thie city is incorpo-
rated: "The government of such city
or town shall be vested in board OF
trustees, to consist of five members, a
clerk and recorder, to be
appointed by the board of trustees, and
who shall be one of the justices OF
the peace of the township in which said
city or town is situated"
As will be seen by this section, no
provision is made for the present case,
where the justice, Mr.. Merriam, refuses
to serve without salary. The city
council, however, decided to appoint
Mr.. Rose, whose term ae justice of the
peace expired January L, 1898, taking
the ground that the refusal of Mr.. Mer-
riam to serve compels them to take this
action.
Contrary to this opinion, several of
oui best lawyers express the opinion
that the gentleman appointed cannot
serve, and that cases tried before him
will not stand. 1t is difficult to cay how
the matter will terminate.
