very sensible scheme. and one which
is worthy trial at least.
Notwithstanding the admirable locs.
tion OF this city for drainage there 10 no
denying that many OF our main thor
oughfares are in horrible condition aft
er heavy rain such as has just passed.
Colorado street east OF Msrengo avenue
to the city limits is in deplorable con-
dition, and the protests from drivers are
both loud and deep. Marengo avenue
and many other streets are in the same
fix, and will not be in respectable shape
for q week at least, providing there is
no more rain.
Owing to the slight grade on the
greater portion of Colorado street it will
always be in this muddy state unless
some artificial covering is substituted
for the dirt. Asphaltum psvemeuts are
all right, in fact are exactly the thing,
but until Pasadena ia a much larger city
than at present there is but little hope
of seeing any asphaltum in the residence
district.
This being out of the question the
idia OF laying good coat of gravel over
che street, seems both practical and
efficient. The cost would be nominal,
and If properly put down would kill the
mud In winter and much OF the dust
in summer. The supervisors are con-
sidering the proposition of graveling
Colorado street east from the city limits
to Lamands Park, much travelled
thoroughfare, and now would be an ex-
cellent time for the city to take up the
work and complete that portion of the
street inside the limits.
An abundance of good gravel for this
purpose can be obtained from the
Arroyo Seco and other places at
nominal expense. Let the
council instruct the city engineers
to investigate the matter and draw
up general specifications for the work.
This idea of putting gravel on resi-
dence streets has been successfully car
ried out in other places. and there is no
good reason why it will not work here.
Pasadena has the best paved business
streets in the country, but as much can
not be said of the residence portion OF
town.
ROSES AND SNOW.
The bright sunshine this morning
alter the protracted rains tempted every
one out of doors. and vehicles of ell de-
scriptions were in great demand. The
various places of public worship, which
abound in this city, were crowded at the
morning services and the streets pre-
sented an animated appearances.
The mountains, however, were the
great attraction and scores of people
visited Echo mountain or climbed the
trail towards Wilson's peak. 1t is
dou btful if ever the lower ranges pre-
scented a more beautiful appearance
than they did today in the early morn
ing hours. During the night there was
heavy fall of snow, coming down over
half way to the valley, and with the
bright sunshine it presented a sight
never to be forgotten. The photograph
ers were out in force, augmented by the
kodak fiends, making formidable ar
Isv.
The 8 :35 train over the Terminal road
carried large crowd 20 Rubio and Echo
mountain, where nowballing and slid
ing could be fully enjoyed. This is the
first time since the completion OF the
mountain road that there has been q
heavy fall of snow at the top OF the great
incline, and those who made the trip
today enjoyed a rare treat. The view
from the mountains today was eome-
thing superb, the atmosphere being
entirely free from smoke or dust. giving
clear sight OF Catalina, San Clemente
and all the mainland between the
mountains and the aea. L. is a privi-
lege which but few people are permitted
to erioy, of standing in snowbank and
looking down upon orange trees and
toses not mile away.
