PASADENA.

A New Candidate for Councllman-Nsw
street Numbering Wanted.
PASADENA, March 10.-Papers were
filed with the city clerk this morning
placing in nomination for the position
OF city councilman, one of our best cfti-
zens. Mr. Peter Steil. The petition con-
tanned over 70 names Of voters and tax
payers, and named the following gentle
men as a managing committee: ID. A.
Cochran, W, L. Barto, Jse. Eads, O. A.
Lopez and H. A. Gooding. The filing
of this petition fully complies with all
the requirements of the new election
law and places Mr. Steil in the fight as
an Independent candidate for the posi-
tion of city trustee.
This places two Independent candi-
dates in the field for trustees and out
side of the straight Republican ticket,
and the chances are that three more
will be added to the list before the ex-
piration of the time in which petitions
can be filed.
Mr.. Steil, the latest addition to the
field, promises to make a etrong race, as
he has large circle of friends who will
do all possible to see that he comes in
the winning horse. He has been a
resident OF Pasadena for the paat 10
years, during which time he has been
actively engaged in business, being for
some time proprietor OF the hotel on
Wilson's peak, and later of the Tivoli
restaurant in this city. He ia rustler
OF the first water, and promises to make
il warm for his opponents..

nominated a few days ago will be

dates through the petition system, as
the time for nominations by convention
has passed.
On the whole the campaign promises
to be lively one from start to finish,
and it would require a man with more
than the average length OF head to pick
the winners.
A STANDING DISGRACE.
Frequent comment has been made in
the HERALD on the disgrsesful condition
OF the street numbering in this city. II
is utterly impossible on many OF our
streets to make head or tail OF the num-
! bering system. Upon this subject the

houee numbering tumble into which the
city is involved and strengthening it out.
The whole system is Q Chinese puzzle,

should be supplanted by a rational sys-
tenn that will do away with old and new
numbers in incongruous juxtaposition
and that will afford rational means OF
finding where every body ia ''at" in the
community.
The whole trouble lies in the nom

subject. Several years ago it was found
that the system then in use was not sat
isfactory and the city dads made up
their minds to improve matters by max
ing a change, all of which was eminently
right and proper.
The trouble was, however, that after
passing an ordinance requiring every
property owner to make the necessary
changes in their house numbers and
fixing suitable penalties for neglect to
comply with the same, they forgot to
ace that the same was enforced. Part
of the citizens put up new numbers and
the rest left up the old ones because it
was less trouble. The result is our
present "What ia it ?" system, which is
standing disgrace, and the cause of
more profanity than everything else
combined.
