PASADENA, July 25-At a meeting OF the
board OF school trustees, held this afternoon
in the Office OF A. II. Metcalfe, it was decided
to call new election at the earliest possible
moment for the purpose OF issuing new series
OF bonds The board acted entirely upon Mr..
Metcalfc's advice in the matter and will issue
the new series under the name of the Pasa-
dena city school district. This OF course means
that the whole matter will have to be gone
over again. The action OF the board in this
matter under the circumstances seems open to
criticism from the fact that serious doubt ex-
lists as to whether the bonds will find any pur-
chaser while there is any cloud upon their
legality The HERALD reporter was informed
late this afternoon that the First National bank
which was the successful bidder for the first
issue would not under any circumstances put
in bid on the bonds until the question of
their legality had been passed upon by the
courts. While this is only one institution 1T is
probable that other financial institutions will
take the same view OF the matter with result
that the bond sale will fall fiat
In view of this condition OF affairs the proper
course for the board to pursue, would be- IT
seems, to have test case brought in the courts
and have the matter settled once for all before
going on with another bond election. These
elections are expensive affairs, consume valu-
able time and the board should be sure of what
they arc doing before calling another election.
If the same farce is to be gone over again, and
other election and the people find the whole
thing is wrong there is going to be big Kick
from which interested parties Will 90 well 10
stand from under.
AN IMPORTANT INDUSTRY.
The manufacturer OF brick is one of the most
important industries in a growing community,
and in this respect Pasadena has facilities for
supplying the demand second to none.
In the yard of the Simons Brick and Con-
tract company located on Moline avenue south
OF California street, has just been placed in po-
sition one OF the finest brick machines in the
hy Potts A. of philadpl nhia has u Cfty
OF 10000 brick daily, and is the only one of its
kind on tho coast. with the exception OF one at
Portland, Ore. 1t takes in the raw mud at one
end and turns out the perfect brick ready for
drying and burning at the other. Instead of
drying the bricks by laying them on the
ground, racks have been arranged which will
enable large number to be dried in small
space The plant is operated by a 10-horse
power steam engine and is very complete.
Under the efficient management of Mr. Joseph
Smons, the company will be able to turn out
an excellent article.
PAVING BEGINS.
The work of paving North Fair Oaks avenue,
between Colorado street and Union street. be-
gan this morning. The work is being done by
j. A. Fairchild, under the supervision of the
street superintendent The contract was let
by the property owners, and is a private one.
The general specifications adopted by the
council will be used, and good street should
be the result. If Fair Oaks gets as satisfactory
MOB OF paving as the colorado street work.
there should be no complaint. 1t is probable
that South Fair Oaks and Raymond will also
be paved before fall.
