RAILROAD EXTENSION
force of men was at work today put
ting in poles on Colorado street, between
Fair Oaks and Broadway and getting the
street. The men will work night and day
until Monday to accomplish this. as per
agreement with the Southern Pacific COM
pany and the Lowe company. to get their
track completed to the Southern Pacific
depot 1t has been understood that no
poles should be erected in the business
section, but that the trolley wires should he
attached to the sides of the buildings. The
poles therefore will only remain tempo
rarily, and the reason that the wires are
not attached to the buildings at once is a
lack of time. The Altadena cars will be
a. -hov. thr line 80
pleted and they will thus escape having to
round the loop.
