Notes aud Personal
Mention.

PASADENA, Nov. 1l.-Tomorrow after
noon the city council will in all proba-
blity either deny or grant the sppica-
tion OF the Southern Pacific company
for franchise to operate railroad on
Broadway. The matter has already
been postponed two weeks and it 10 not
likely that there will be any further de-
lay in taking action.
just what the outcome Of tomorrow's
meeting will be cannot OF course be ac~
curately iore.old, but from what can be
learned it SCENE that the request will be
granted, 80 far as coming up to Colo
RADIO street is concerned, unless more
vigorous opposition is developed than
has yet been shown.
The question of crossing Colorado
street, We believe, has never been seri-
ously discussed, and it is doubtful
whether the company has any desire to
20 further than that street, at least at
present.
There is really nothing to call the
tracks beyond Colorado street, unless
the company proposes to extend its line
along the foothills. II such is the case
they can afford 10 wait for permission to
cross until they are ready to ask for
franchise through to the southern city
boundary.
1t 10 doubtful, however. whether a
right to cross at grade will ever be
granted. 1t hae, however, been sug-
Eested, and upon investigation found
entirely practicaple that the tracks be
laid under the street, in which case
cut starting at Kansas street would be
necessary, the crossing being practically
tunnel. II it is found to be absolutely
essential that the eireet be crossed this
plan will probably be adopted.
The meeting tomorrow promises to
prove lively one. Affected property
owners along the avenue are not Satisfied
by any means that they are going TO re-
ceive a proper compensation for the
damage inflicted and desire that the
terms be settled upon prior to the fran
chise being granted. This the company
refused and there the matter stands.
The Pasadena Manufacturing company,
which has large holdings along the
street, is fighting hard against the COM
pany getting in as is the Santa Fe,
which claims its property will be much
damaged.
The outcome is awaited with much
interest by all.

ment in Hotel Green Music hall, con-
