Hhe Niectric Road-The Last Call on the
Paving Fight.
PASADENA, May 14.-That Pasadena
and Los Angeles are to be connected by
an electric road is an assured fact, and
that the Consolidated iElectric company
of Los Angeles will build it is another
fact established beyond, peradventure.
A gentleman who is on the inside track
on this electric road business in conver-
hation with HERALD reporter yester-
day said:
1.-THE people OF Pasadena can rest as
Eured that their electric road will be
completed and in actual operation in
side OF elk MONTHS"
Furthermore the company ID under
contract to have their electric cars in
operation over the Painter lines before
January /, "a"
1t has been rumorsd for some time
THAT the consolidated company hsd OBJ
tanned control OF the Painter or North
Pasadena lines, but for some reason the
interested parties have denied the re-
port.
From the above, however, it would
eeem that there could be no doubt but
that the electric company hAa obtained
at least control of these lines. The
question OF fare, most important one
60 our people, was also brought up and
IL wss stated that although the matter
had not been definitely settled, that
fen cent one way rate with an addition
6f five cents for transfer privileges in
either Pasadena or Los Angeles would
in all probability be meds.
The beneficial effect which this road
with it's low rates and frequent service
will have upon Pasadena as residence
city can hardly be over estimated.
Already we have a large number of
people living in this place and doing
business in Los Angeles, and this class
OF residents under these more favorable
conditions would be increased to an
enormous extent.
The effect upon values OF residence
property cannot fail to be beneficial and,

THE LAST CALL.
morrow afternoon the paving mase-
ir.i light will come up for it's final in
ming With the city council, that being
the tins set by the city dads for receive
ing the property owners protest against
the use OF asphaltum concrete SO q base
for. the proposed street paving, as is
called for in the specifications as drawn
M By the city engineer.
AS per instructions from the council
OF two weeks ago the petition must be
signed by majority of the property
own n okr g. L.
and must contain a faithful clause
exouerating the council from all
blame in case the paving from any cause
should prove q failure.
Should the big waters be
forthcoming, as they doubtless will be.
there will be nothing left for the council
to do. but readvertise for bids under
cement basis specifications, base that
has given universal satisfaction where
ever used, and will without doubt prove
perfectly satisfactory in this case. The
interested property owners are MS seri-
GUS as any one of seeing a pavement
upon our business streets, but they feel
that they cannot afford to try any ex-
periments and, as they foot the bills.
their wishes in the matter should be
law.
AN ERROR CORRECTED.
An erroneous statement was published
IN morning paper few days ago to
the effect that the next meeting of the
Southern California Educational society
would be held in Riverside.
Such is not the case, as the society,
upon invitation of Prof. Reyes of Throop |
university, decided at its meeting to |
hold its next regular meeting, which |
occurs next fall, in this city.
1t Ia expected that the new Throop |
polytechnic building will be completed |
ny thst time, and that the society NAV
meet in that place.
