The franchise asked for by Messrs.

Pasadena lines, to operate their lines by
either horse, cable or electric power,
came up for second reading. Mr.. Nc

vert them into electric roads to be op-
Grated in connection with the road be-
tween this place and Los Angeles.
Mr. McLochlin registered a number OF
objections to the franchise as originally
prepared, the most important of which
was proposed increase in the rate from
10 cents, as proposed by the council, to
70 cents one way rate. It was also
stated that the Electric company would
decline to make q round trip rate at any
price.
Judge Weed expressed himself az de-
cidedly opposed to the provision allow
Ing horse and cable power to be used,
stating that II the company meant bust
ness they would have no use for either,
and that ne favored cutting them out.
Numerous other concessions were
asked for, among others that the bond
be cut down from $4,000 to $1,000, a
proposition which the council evidently
failed to see the point in.
After considerable discussion it was
moved that special meeting be called
