incorporated in the franchise agreed
upon today bstween the city council
and the representative of the Los An.
geles and Pasadena Electric Railway
company, and which has been ordered
advertised for sale. Today's session oil
the city council was devoted mainly to
struggle with this formidable document,
for in spite OF the committee meetings
there was q decided difference of opinion
on several points.
The fret kick came over the question
of limiting the road to q l5-cent rate
between any portion of Los Angeles and
snv portion OF Pasadena. Mr.. Lukens
thought the city had no power to control
the rate outside of the corporation. and
favored cutting out that section. This
brought Mr.. Cox to his feet, and az
usual be talked right out in school.
II shall never vote to cut out that
regulation. The company has all along
agreed TO this rate, and are now trying
to get out of it. What did they bid on
the other franchise which eontainsd this
provision for if they didn't want to live
up to i'll"
question, and the l5.cent rate went, Mr..
Wsshburn also favoring it. Then came
the clause restricting the company to
carving passengers only. They wanted
this stricken out. But Mr.. Cox was
again on deck. He didn't believe in
converting any OF the public streets into
passageways for freight trains, and II the
company only wanted to carry packages
the weight should be restricted.
Mr.. Weed thought 100 pounds was
about right, and Mr.. Wsshburn stuck
at so. Finally the latter figure was ac-
cepted. Then the franchise was turned
over to the clerk for publication and to
advertise for bids.
The franchise provides that the road
shall be constructed and in operation
within two years from the passage Of
the ordinance. 1t is also provided that
cars shall pass alternately around the
