PASADENA, Dec. lJ.-Iue fAeaObuh
and Los Angeles electric road 10 in q
bad fix over its franchise through South
Pasadena, and no easy wsy of getting
out seems to present itself. The whole
trouble arose, as has already beer
stated in the HERALD, from the council
of South Pasadena granting franchise
over a strip OF land which was private
property. Since discovering the blundei
attempts have been made to straighten
the matter out, but so far without sue
cess, and the company has threatened
to leave South Pasadena out entirely.
At a meeting of the South Pasadena
council last evening almost the entire
session was given up to discussion OF
the difficulty, and etill no definite plan
was decided upon. A large number OF
citizens were present at the meeting and
number of them took an active part in
the discussion of the franchise. Mr..
Larrabee. representing the electric road,
was present and helped to make the
proceedings interesting. He sprung a
surprise ON the council in the
shape OF four applications for
building an electric road through the
place by as many different routes. The
nerve of the company in such modest
request came near paralyzlng the coun-
Gil, and it was some time before the
honorable gentlemen who preside over
the destinies of our southern suburb
could recover themselves. When they
did wake up, however, they made things
exceedingly warm for few minutes.
The company asked that the franchise
be granted for q period OF two years, to
ALA 0f m r~aa nrn
the road was not constructed. The dis
cussion which followed the reading Of
this request was go warm and pointed
that Mr.. Larrabee made up his mind
the best thing to do was to draw down
the petitions, which was accordingly
done. This leaves the matter in much
the same condition that it was before,
although it was understood that the
citizens OF South Pasadena had sub
scribed enough money to pay the addi-
tional cost of crossing private ground.
II the company should change its route
much additional expense would be en-
tailed, as the bridge across the Arroyo

Pasadena will do we'll to 60 slow in
granting any privileges to this company,
which is giving Pasadena 30 much
