of Interest.

Ihe abHurdity OF advertising Hucn
franchise as this for sale, as required by
the state law, becomes apparant in this
case when it is remembered that ac-
cording to the provisions OF the fran-
cbise the line must connect with the
Southern Pacific road and be operated
as part OF that system. l. is obvious
to Q blind man that no one can carry
out these provisions but the Southern
Pacific company. The all important
ever, is, what will the coun-
ern Pacific? Will it award the fran
chise to the highest and only bidder, the
company whose destiny is presided
ton? The HERALD thinks NOT, and
opinion. THE HERALD has clearly
shown the sentiment OF the community
on this question, and the duty of the
council is PLAIN. The people of Pasa-
dena are unitedly opposed to the South
ern Pacific being allowed to come into
the city over Broadway or any other
avenue without a just compensation be-
ing paid to the injured property owners.
u4u No bO6 I0pIo5cutbblV6 u bll0 pCOplC,
the council is bound in honor to reject
this bid.
In view OF the fact that Los Angeles
morning paper has undertaken to chow
that the public sentiment in this city
favored the council granting this fran
chise regardless OF the rights of the peo.
pie on Broadway. the following petition
which has before appeared IN The HER
t. 81 - IL
refreshing effect on the memory OF come
OF our councilmen. This petition. which
was presented the council at its meet
ing of December 18th. reads as fol-
lows:
To the Honorable President and Board of Trus-
tees OF the City of Pasadena:
