PASADENA, May 19.-There is con-
siderable objection on the part of prop
erty owners on South Marengo avenue
who do not desire the proximity of Mann
&c Daniels planning mill, the rebuilding
Of which was announced in this morn
ing's Herald. The old site was on North
Marengo avenue near the corner of
Chestnut When the mill here was
burned some months ago the property
was purchased by Mr.. c. M. Simpson
and others who lived in the vicinity to
insure it's not being re-erected in the
same place. Mann & Daniels have now
bought a tract fronting 200 feet on Ma
rengo avenue and extending 875 feet to
Broadway, near the corner of Bellevue.
They at first thought that they were out
side the fire limits and could therefore
ge ahead without interference in the
matter of rebuilding. Now it seems that
the tract in inside the limits and the
property owners will petition the coun-
Gil not to allow the mills being built
at that location They say that it's pres
ence would depress the value of real es-
tate and would be general nuisance
because of the noise and smoke attend
ant to such an institution. The matter
promises to cause nearly as much dis
pute as the moving Of the Catholic
church.
INFORMAL DINNER.
An enjoyable informal dinner was CIV
en- last evening by Mrs III. M. Gabriel

ChautauQua circle were entertained last
evening at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs:

were thus carried to the residence where
