PASADENA, Nov. Sat the meeting
Of East Colorado street porperty owners
on Thursday evening tho matter OF paw
lug the street was further discussed, and
with the result that the work will prob.
ably be commenced as soon as tie pre-
liminariss can be arranged. There was a
much better attendance than heretofore,
and more interest manifested. Justice
BrocKway presided and DR.. T. S. Green
acted as secretary. There was larger at
tendance than usual. The first business
to como ur was the report of the CON-
mittee on that section Of the street from
Marengo to Los Robes.
1t was to the effect that the street be
graded, the committee voting three to one
in favor Of the proposition.
The com mittee on the section from Los
Nobles to the city limits made the same
report, which had been agreed upon by
the came vote, and both reports were
adopted by the meeting.
A committee of three was appointed
Messrs. G. II. Frost. f. S. Wallace and E.
l.. Farris, to obtain signatures OF prop.
sYty owners in behalf of changing the
grade of the street in accordance with the
city engineers report.
II was generally understood that this
change will only necessitate such changes
in the sidewalk as will break up that
part OF the sidewalk below the change of
grade. A portion of the street will bs
lowered ABOUT one foot below the present
grade, and it is proposed that all the side
walk which, after grading, shall come
sv,cp bou fba oi,a1I h..
lard.
An estimate shows the total expense of
changing the grade between Los Robes
avenue and the city limits will be about
IS cents per front foot on each side OF the
street,, and aHout the same amount, or
possibly less, will cover the expense be-
tween Marengo and Los Robes avenues.
In regard to the material to be used
there was some difference of opinion, Of
course. Some thought that the natural
earth was good enough, but the general
opiniun seemed to be that disintegrated
granite would be enough more serviceabls
TO com pansate for the additional cost,
and was selected by large majority. Ac-
cor ing to estimates made, including the
cost Of six inches OF decom posed granite,
the total expense of the entire st.eet will
lie less than 81 per front foot. 1t is esti-
mateu the additional value to the prop
erty will be S. per front foot.

COURT NOTES.
DR.. Lanterman OF La Canyada, wao was
arrested yesterday on a warrant sworn
out BY young woman who had worked
Is q servant girl in his family, on the
charge of battery, appeared this morning
before Judge Merriam and pleaded not
guilty. Trial was set for next Tuesday
at 10 a. m. So far as learned, the facts
appear to be that the young woman, Miss
Frances Horton by name, when She was
asked to act rs nurse for Mrs. Lanterinan,
who Tas sick, objected, saying she vas
not engaged to do that work in addition
TO her other duties. and she says the doc
tor used violence in expelling her from
the room when their Disagreement had
reached the stage of angry words, while
he maintains that he merely opened the
door ana showed her out Of his sick wife's
room when she was disturbing ths latter
BY her violent and unseemly conduct.
When the case comes up for trial all the
particulars will come out.
In the recorders court couple of va.
grants we're sentenced and given seventy
i've days each. One of them gave the
officer lively chase before he caught
him. or rather he was in the clutches of
the law when he made break ana ran,
with tho officer after HIM. With the hep
of bystanders the officer managed to cor
raj his prisoner again, and this time
landed him in Jail. II gave his name as
Frank Dunn and his partner handed in
the name OF John Kirk.
