PASADENA, Dec. 12.-The Southern
Pacific franchise scheme to capture
Broadway avenue is at present in STATUS
quo, the time for advertising the fran
chise having not yet expired. When
the matter comes before the council
again it will be in the shape OF a bid
from the Southern Pacific company Tor
the privilege OF converting the street to
ite own private uses. AS matters stano
at present. the ordinance awarding the
franchise can ot 60 through. Council
men T. p. Lukens and II. M. Hamilton
are the stun bling blocks and are likely
to remain go until the interests OF the
property owners are taken care OF. 1t
has been asserted that a majority OF the
citizens oi the city would, ii the matter
were put to o vote, favor allow
ing the company to come up Broad
way without restrictions as to dam
ages. Such ia not the case. The
people of Pasadena are by fer too lust q
class OF citizens to allow such an outrage
upon O portion OF their townsmen Tor
the benetii of such corporation as the
6outhern Pacific 10. To chow how some
of our prominent citizens feel In this
matter, the case OF Mr.. Morgan, one OF
our largost property owners and we'll
known citizen, may be- cited. Mr.. MOT
gan offers to give one-third OF hia prop
eaty facing on Broadway TO any lawyer
who will keen the company oil the
street one year, two-thlrds ii the COM
pany is kept out two yeaIe, and the
entire properly il me stands them Gil
three years. This shows how one OF the
property holders feels over this matter.
Another thing which the company
is trying 20 work in the iran,
chise robbinR scheme 10 en- old
right which number OF property own
ere along the street signed over to the
defunct San Gabriel Valley Rapid Tran
cit company to allow them tn run
motor line up the street. The right
was given with the provision that the
line be completed in one year. clanse
was, however. inserted providing that
the time should be extended providing
the company was interfered with By in
junction suite. No attempt has ever
pgen made to build the line, but the
railway people have been very careful to
see that an injunction has been con-
stantly kept against the construction OF
the road. The Southern Pacific acquired
this old right along with the rest of the
old iron belonging to the Rapid Transit
company when it purchased lis line to
Monrovie, and now proposes to use it tn
knock the property owners out OF any
possible damages. 1t is on this ac-
count that the Southern Pacific objects
to board of arbitration, knowing well
that the entire thing would be thrown
out.
