ssn Pacific company 10 endeavoring to
secure an entrance into this city over
broadway avenue, by which means
they propose to roach Colorado street
from the present terminus OF o branch
line belonging to them near the Ray
Enond hotel.
1t is altogether likely that an applica-
sion for franchise over this street will
be presented to council tomorrow after
noon. and tho action Of that body will
be awaited with much interest by the
public generally and especially property
owners on South Broadway.
Just why the Southern Pacific com.
pany Of Kentucky should expect the
people of Pasadena to make them q
preaent OF valuable right OF way to the
CITY 10 just little difficult for the citi-
xens OF our city to see and especially
ehose property owners on South Broad
way whose homes would be all but
ruined by having railroad track in
iioni of their doorsteps.
Why is it that the Southern Pacific
does not, as the Santa Fee and Termi-
nal companies, purchase right of way
over private property and pay for it in
sIeed of attempting to get in over q
residence atreet free OF charge?
doth the present companies bought
tbs lands their tracks run over and paid
cash for them, one Of them coming in
during the boom when land was held at
three times its present value.
II Pasadena were q provincial town
with no connection with the outside
world it might possibly be compelled to
snhmit to the demands Of this corpora
tion, but such is not the case. We
have now two first class roads between
this city and Los Angeles and third,
aHofding every possible accom- mmodation
at q lover rate than the Southern Pa
ci6c could possibly make, will be in
operation in six weeks time.
Pasadena can do very well without
the Southern Pacific, but the Southern
Pacific has found after many years OF
waiting. during which time 1t has in no
way given this city any assistance, that
il cannot we'll do without Pasadena.
1t is to be hoped that the council will
carefully Investigate this matter before
taking any action. We have no streets
which we want to turn over free gratis
to any railroad company, not even the
Southern Pacific.
