Z, PASADENA, April 3O.--At tomorrow's
meeting of the city council, the report
of the citizens committee upon the
question OF paving material will be
heard, accompanied by petition asking
that the bid which has been received be
rejected and that the matter be more
fully investigated. IL ia most peculiar
circumstance by the way that but one
bid should be received on contract in
volving something like $4,000, and for
this reason If no other, the council
would most certainly be justified in
ordering bids rejected even if no change
lis to be made IN the specifications.
! The suggestion made at the meeting
Of the citizens held Friday evening,
that advertisements be published in
Journals of wide circulation was GER
tainly a very sensible one and the prop
erty owners would reap the benefit. A
letter was read on Friday evening from
q San Francisco firm complaining that
no publicity had been given the matter,
and stating that they would have liked
very much to have had chance IN the
bidding.

for getting this pavement down before
next winters rains, and no harm will
be done by postponing the opening OF
bids and giving everyone fair chance.
The question of good foundation is
however of paramount Importance, and
the showing which was made at the citi-
zens' meeting Friday evening In favor OF
cement was remarkably strong. Since
that time numerous other communica.
tions have been received, all OF the same
tenor. Cement is used almost every
where, and it is almost impossible to
ind out anything about ssphalturn. but
what evidence is at hand is not OF com
plimentary nature to that material for a
base.
