The city attorneys office threw bomb
shell into the council yesterday in render
ing written opinion to the effect that the
Los Angeles Railway company has not
now and never has had any legal right
to lease its tracks to the Pasadena & Pa
cific or to any other transportation corpor-
alton outside of the city limits. This is the
report filed in full:
"You have instructed me to furnish you
with all opinion as to whether or not the
Los Angeles and Pasadena Electric Rail-
way company can be compelled to stop for
passengers coming into the city while
using the lines of the Los Angeles Railway
company.
.'As | understand the matter, the cars of
the Los Angeles and Pasadena Electric
Railway company refuse to stop for pas
sengers who may wish to get off or on their
cars at points between DAILY street and the
center of the city. Your question, there
fore, involves the further question as to
the right of the Los Angeles and Pasadena
Electric Railway company to run over the
tracks of the Los Angeles Railway COM
pany between DAILY street and the corner
of Fourth and Spring streets. The Los
Angeles Railway company operates it's
road between Spring and Fourth streets
