terday's correspondence, tno council mas
taken active steps to see that the Ter
minal company complies with the re.
quirements of its franchise and reduces
the rate to 25 cents for round trip be-
tween Pasadena and Los Angeles and 20
cents for one way.
As is generally known the Terminal
has been allowed to charge So cents, by
special permit from the council, during
the past two years, which expired July
1st. Up to the present time, however,
the company has not seen fit to 60 back
to the old rates.
City Attorney Arthur is investigating
the matter, and has communicated with
the company, which has asked that q
short time be given it before any pro-
ceedings are commenced. The Terminal
company is really operating its road in
this city ou the old Altadena railway
franchise, with the exception OF short
strip at the Raymond, which 10 covered
by the franchise granted June 70, 1883,
which says:
Provided further that the rate Of fare
for passengers on said railroad shall
never exceed the price of 81 cents ior q
round trip, between its northern tor
minus in Pasadena and the business
center of the city of Los Angeles; and
for single trip the sum OF 20 cents per
single trip in either direction, between
it's terminal points in Pasadena and Los
Angeles"
Deducting the 10 cents car fare brings
the rate down to 25 cents.

minutes to repair things, however, and
the current was turned on again.

only after hard fight that he WAS cap.
tured. This morning Justice Merriam
gave him rs days in the county Jail.
