ACCOMPLISHMENTS

PASADENA, June 17.-The city coun-
ell met in regular session at p. M,
with President Cox. Trustees Weed and
Washburn present. Trustee Lukens came
in at o'clock, being detained at the
bank till that hour.
The matter Of reducing the number OF
Terminal trains was deferred until his
arrival, the less important business being
meanwhile disposed of.
A protest was presented against the
proposed assessment for the opening OF
Oakland avenue north 10 Colorado street,
signed by B. P. Brockway. Robert Eadi9
and J. n. Mariner. These petitioners
contended that the benefits of said prop
erty are not equal to the assessment, as
the lots already face on Oakland avenue
and Ell Dorado street; that corner lots IL
and 10 OF the Brockway subdivision are
assessed as much as lots 9 and IL of the
same subdivision, which by the opening
will be made corners; that protestants
believe the principal benefit from the
proposed opening will be to the property
north of FL Dorado street: and further
more that Oakland avenu e. as far as now
opened, was dedicated without compen-
sation by the abutting owners, as was
also Ell Dorado str et
Monday. July LIST, at p. M, was the
time set for Il hearing under the protest.
In the matter of the protest OF several
property owners on, Worcester avenue
against the proposed sewer system on
that street. q number of the prope rty
owners appeared befort the board. Chris
Klein and V. G. Gilman were opposed to
the sewer being constructed, on the
grounds of the expense No be incurred.
while Albert S. Van Ettch spoke in favor
e - Late nr n
land, health officer, which stated that in
his opinion sewer connection was i'm
peratively necessary on that street. Mr..
Van Etten said the residents Of that part
of town were troubled by sewer gas and
MOSQUITOES two very undesirable accom-
paniments of cesspools, of which there
are no less than nineteen on that short
street, less than quarter of mile In
length.
This matter OF an adequate sewer sys-
TEN is very important one, and II Pas
adena is to maintain her reputation as a
healthful community ana a desirable
place OF residence, the present sewer sys-
TEN should be greatly extended and the
loud smelling cesspools filled up and
their use discontinued. The oidors ema-
mating from some localities in Pasadena
are disgrace to this city, that boasts OF
her healthful and pure air and clean,
we'll kept streets. IL is to be hoped that
the agitation for adequate sewerage will
not stop until the entlre CITY enjoys tne
benefits of complete and perfect sewer
system.

geles Terminal Railway company may re
duce the number of its passenger train'
so run between said cities OF Pasaden;
and Los Angeles, to four trains each way
per day; provided, however, that this res
Olutlon shall never be construed as al
amendment to said ordinance or as waiv
ing any rights secured to said city b,
said ordinance; nor shall this resolution
take effect or have any force. nor snal
said privilege be granted until and unless
SAID Los Angeles Terminal Railway com
pany shall place, and ever after during
the life of SAID franchise, constantly keel
on sale, to any person desiring to pur
chase the same, at its passenger depot
in both said cities of Pasadena and Lo
Angeles round trip passenger tickets

points in said cities on the line of sale

cents, at said places.
nHPut to a vote, Trustees Lukens, Weed
and Washburn voted aye and Preslden
Cox no. President Cox explained hi
vote by saying that he considered tn
resolution was not for the best intLr
ests OF Pasadena. He said: "Mr. Gibbol
has stated that the council has no RICH
to fix rates, and | claim this gives TIL
four roads a chance TO keep up rates"
Judge Weed said he voted for the reso
luton because it reduced the rate to 2
cents, and this was one of the condition
of the company being allowed to reduc
the service to four trains per day eacl
way, and if the rate should be raised the
could be compelled to restore the othe
eight trains.
