PASADENA NUfs L.
Lukens today appointed the followin g
committee to examine into the question
of public parks, as instructed by the
council at it's last meeting: Frank @.
Bolt, John w. Vandervoort, ]. S. Tor
rance, Capt. G. NJ. Simpson, Frank G.
Boynton. 1t is desired that ell mem.
bers of the committee meet at tho San
Habrel Valley bank on Monday after.
noon, at 3 O'Clock, for the purpose Of
organizing. This latest move OF the
council is decidedly in the right drec.
tion, and should receive the united sup
port of onr citizens generally. Pasa-
dena needs one or more parks and needs
them badly. II any steps are ever to be
taken to secure pleasure grounds for our
people the sooner it is done the better.
Prices are constantly advancing in real
estate, and as time goes OIL 1t becomes
more expensive and difficult to secure.
There is some ill-timed objection to the
proposed improvements, on the grounds
that the city is all park and needs moth
ing further. Talk of the city being all
park is all right, but that don't supply
the demand for place where the public
can gather. whenever disposed to do 80,
and not trespass on private property, 1t
Is the intention, If found desirable, to
purchase two or three suitable sites in
different parts of town, which will be
improved and taken care OF by the city.
The present committee will render re-
port to the council on November Goth.
