well. filed yesterday morning when the
municipal legislators were called to or
der. A majority OF those present were
residents of the East Side who had come
in to enter their protest against the ac-
ton of the council in granting a years
additional time to the Los Angeles and
Pasadena Electric Railroad Company in

If the company pushed the work the
people of the East Side would not OBJ
ject to the councils granting the COM
pany three or six months, but. under the

therefore moved that the whole matter
be referred to the city attorney for an
opinion, which motion prevailed,
