MUCH PAVING WILL RESULT

PASADENA, Jan. 19.-There is good pros
pect that considerable paving will be done
in Pasadena before Contractor Fairchild
leaves the city, as the example of the prop
erty owners on North Raymond avenue
seems to have become contagious, and now
citizens of other thoroughfares are arrang-
ing to have street paving done, most of the
work, as in the case of the North Raymond
job, to be done by private contract. If
only portion of the work now contem-
plated is done it will add quite materially
to the appearance of our streets, but it is
quite probable that the following streets
will be paved with asphaltum as soon as
the contractor can get to it: Colorado
street from De Lacy to the foot of the
Orange Grove hill, about three blocks.
Nearly all the frontage is signed for. Col
orado street from Marengo to Oakland
avenue, four blocks. Oakland avenue
this work is done there will then
be eleven continuous blocks paved with
asphaltum on Colorado street alone.
North Fair Oaks avenue, not to be be-
hind her neighbors, will probably pave
from Union street north. perhaps as far as
Throop Polytechnic institute, and then
Union street will very naturally fall in and
Raymond with the work on North Fair
Oaks, thus making the complete circuit of
the block, not to mention the paving of the
alley in the block, which has been deti-
nitely decided upon, and the alley in the
block to the south of 1t, between Colorado
sidered by the owEcrs of the adjoining
property. In the case of much of this
work, the signatures of almost all the prop
erty owners have been secured, with good
prospects of getting them all, SO that the
work can be done by private contract.
Where it is not possible to get every foot of
frontage favorable to the work, it will be
of petition to the city council, which re-
quires only two-thirds of the property to be
represented on the petition.
THE PUBLIC HEALTH
At the meeting of the board of health
last Friday evening the questions of meat
inspection and, scarlet fever were consid-
cred. Physicians state that the reported
fourteen cases of scarlet fever were only
scarletina, and not serious. 1t was decided
to memorialize the city council to appoint
a meat inspector for the larger slaughter
houses from which meat is sent here. The
water companies were also advised to have
their reservoirs covered.
BREvITIEs
For the past rev days the powerhouse of
the Pasadena and Los Angeles Electric
company has operated, besides it's own
line, those of the Consolidated and Belle
vue lines of Los Angeles, with the excep-
ton of a few days during which the Trac.
ton company did the work. This was
owing to the breaking of a fiy-wheel of the
Consolidated company. This morning an
old wheel was put in it's place and this will
serve until a new one arrives from the east
George and Andrew Bandrobe have re-
turned from prospecting trip to Mari
posa county. They made the trip, 700
miles, by wagon, in the interest of Will
liam Morgan.
