PASADENA, June 20.-The settlement
OF the Mann & Daniels mill site dispute,
which was thought to have been dis
posed of at the special meeting of the
city council last Wednesday, again bobs
up serenely, as unsettled as ever. There
seems to have been q misunderstanding
as to the terms of the offer of f. c. Web
ster or else somebody has backed out;
at any rate they cannot agree and the
whole question is opened up again. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Mann and others who
We're present at the council meeting
aforesaid, Mr.. Webster agreed to pur-
chase the site which was considered by
him and others in the neighborhood as
an Objectionable location for the mill,
and to pay $3.50 down with the balance at
the end of ninety days. putting up good
collateral security for the balance till
paid. But when the final talk on the
matter was had Mr.. Webster would not
put up both the cash payment and the
security, saying his offer was to put up
one or the other, hut not both. The price
agreed upon was $500. The council
granted a permit for the mill to be built
upon another site which was unobjec-
tionable to the property owners who had
defeated the first attempt to locate the
mill this latter site to be purchased with
the money received from Mr.. Webster
for the first one. AS matter of fact, the
second site for which the council readily
granted permit is nearer to the center
of business than the first for which they
would not grant permit. The way it
stands now, since Mr.. Webster will fur
nsh enough cash in purchasing the for
mer site to help with building the mill,
Mann & Daniels cannot go ahead on the
proposition, 1t is to be hoped that the
matter can be adjusted so that the pro-
ject can go ahead, for 1t is good thing
for the town, employing many hands.
