PASADENA.

PASADENA, Sept. 2.-Passdena Is with
out doubt one of the most progressive
cities on tho coast. This fact is agreed
to by every traveller whose good fortune
brings him within our gate. During the
past year there has probably been no
place in the state which has made as
steady and substantial q growth as has
this city. Buildings, both for residence
and business purposes, have sprung up
on every hand with surprising rapldlty.
Nor has our advancement been confined
to building alone. Street and general
municipal improvements have fully
kept pace with the times. During the
past year Colorado, our most Important
business street. has been paved through
!he business center, while work on Fair
Oaks and Raymond avenues is almost
completed, making Pasadena one OF the
best paved cities of its kind on the coast.
Great, however, as has been the advance
of the city during the past year. in spite
of hard times, the growth during the
coming fall and winter promises, under
favorable circumstances, to surpass any
thing ever seen here in the line OF gen
uine growth.
Our archeticts' Offices are full of plans
for new buildings to be erected during the
coming fall and winter, which can not
fail to mean good times for our me-
chanics and laboring men generally.
The completion OF the electric road be-
twesn this city and Los Angeles, which
seems but few weeks off, will add
another impetus to the city's growth.
Hundreds OF business men of Los Ange-
les viii avail themselves of this 0ppor-
tunity for rapid and cheap trensporta-
ten to make Pasadena their homes. 1t
is doubtful If our citizens fully realize
the benefit which will accrue to the
city in general by operating all our
present street railway lines by cleo
tricity, as ia the intention. There is
sure to be msterial advance in outside
property reached by these lines, while
the stimulus which will be given the
general growth will be no small item.
Surely bright days are ahead.
