PASADENA, July 19.-The s sson
snrppy mon the community yee'oio"y
by the report of or cit "ssu -
the school bonds, s1'i i'po', "
appeared in the HERALD Oh Anuisuay
rr-,.---- Uutla,ye more far reaching
'aects than was at f-st s.pposeu. Ii
the conclusion reached by Mr.. Arthur,
viz; that the Pasadena city school die
trct has no legal existence. 10 correct, it
would seem to leave affairs in bad way
indeed. According to q strict adherence
to the law none of the acts Of the direct
ors since the alleged change in the name
OF the district will bold good. This. II
carried out, would "mean confusion
wores confoundsd," If not worse. 1t
would affect the special tax of $4,000
voted two years ago. If the trustees are
not legal body they would have no
right to employ teachers for the coming
year, and all contracts of this character
would be void. In fact we would seem
to be left with no board OF trueteer, no
special $4,000 tax and no bonds for S22 :
900, all of which have melted away in
the legal com plication which confronts
us.
From the conclusions drawn by Mr..
Arthur there eeems to DO but one thing
to do-to return to the name San Pas
quail and start over again. Ii the board
OF trustees is an illegal body. the county
superintendent can be called upon to re-
appoint them. The bond issue, Of
course. is gone up, and there is nothing
to do but to call another election rs coon
rs possible, and do the whole thing over
again. AS stated before, this is the
most unfortunate part OF the whole
affair. as it renders impossible the COM
pletion of the new school building on
Lake avenue, which is badly needed,
and will neceseitate renting some build
ing during the coming season.
The board of trustees are carefully
less take some action in the matter very
shortly. The best legal advice will be
sought in the case, and the affair
Strengthened out without delay. The
outcome of the tange will be watched
with much interest by the legal profes.
sion and our people generally.
