between this city and Los Angeles.
which is already under process OF con-
ssruction and bids fair to be in active
operation in less than three months,
will have very stimulating effect upon
the advancing march which Pasadena
has been making during the past three
years. 1t is the intention of the owners
to put in a first.class service between
Los Angeles and Pasadena which will
include trains until late in the evening.
The rate Of fare will not exceed 10 cents
each way from the business centers of
Pasadena and Los Angeles and it is prob
able that even lower rates than this will
be made on monthly tickets. Iron has
been distributed over the entire distance
between this city and Los Angeles
and large amount of grading
has been done. The approaches
to the large bridge which must be con-
structed over the Arroyo Seeo east of
Garvanza have been graded and the
work of constructing the bridge will be-
gin shortly. When this bridge and the
smaller one near Los Angeles are com.
pleted the work of connecting the two
cities will be well.nigh accomplished.

the South Pasadena council for a right
of way through that city. Mr.. Strange
states that several of the leading stock
holders in the company are expected
here from the east in short time, when
active steps will be taken looking to an
early completion OF the line. II these
plans are carried out. it looks as if Pasa-
deua will be more than we'll supplied
with roads. One thing, however, is GER
tain-thst we will have an electric road
completed and running between this
city and Los Angeles before January l.
1895, and probably within the next go
days.
