Subscribers who have failed to re-
ceive portfolios ordered from the
HERALD are requested to report same
at the Pasadena Office, 30 East Colorado
street.
In some as yet undiscovered manner
the Pasadena correspondence of the
HERALD failed to reach the office and,
consequently, our readers failed to re-
ceive the usual Sunday morning budget
OF items. We hope it won't happen
again.
There lie much complaint from citizens
OF the bad smell which issues from some
OF the tsh markets in town, making it
diSagreeable to walk past them even.
1t would seem that here is a little work
for our newly appointed health officer.
