The License ordinance-The Rains.
Notes.
PASADENA Oct. 25.-For long time it
has been apparent to our city officials
that new license ordinance ia needed,
but although attempts have been made
on different occasions to change it, and
at one time an ordinance was drawn up,
nothing has ever been done and the old
ordinance stands.
An instance of the working OF this
decrepid old affair was illustrated in
the amount which the city collected
from the fake circus which paid this
city visit today.
All the city marshal was able to get
under the city ordinance was 500, and 1t
is doubtful whether even this amount
could have been collected had the circus
people chosen to object.
Such combinations as this should not
be allowed to show for less than 500
per day, and many places charge more
than this. They carry large amount
OF coin out Of town and leave but q
poor equivalent.
This is but one OF many errors which
exist in the license ordinance as it
stands today, and the sooner some &C.
tion is taken to remedy its effects the
better it will be for all concerned.
THAT NEW ROAD.
There is apparently more behind the
new electric road proposition. an account
of which appeared in yesterdays HER
AID, than in the ones which have been
sprung on the Pasadena public.
So many of these roads have been
doomed in this city and vicinity that
our people are becoming very skeptieal,
and with good cause. The sale OF the
Highland lines, however, has been
made to q strong syndicate, without
doubt, and from appearances they mean
business, at least as far as the Lowe
mountain road is concerned, and proba-
bly, the Los Angeles connection will go
through. As for the Santa Monica
echeme it does not seem to be as certain
of going through at once. but may later.
The line if completed as outlined would
mean much to this city and vacinity,
and will, without doubt, prove a paying
investment.
THE CIRCUS.
The circus, with its attendant tramps
and pick-pockets, has come and gone,
and it must be said for the credit of Pas
adena that it received but light patron
age. The police were enforced by an
additional man and close watch kept
on the circus crowd of helpers, which
laid very low, evidently thinking that
they were getting too much notoriety
) already without any more breaks.
Two performances were given and no
attempt was made to cut the entertain
ment in two, as was done in Los An
gefes.
NOTES.
The school boys have caught the
marble craze.
The rain is apparently over, and some
ideal weather may be looked for.
The Throop Polytechnic tennis court
on South Fair Oaks avenue proves very
popular place after school hours.
