1
! East Side sewer is being quite generally
discussed, more especially among the res
| dents and property owners living in the
| part of town affected by the councils res
oution of intention There have been many
| improvements in that portion OF the city
| within the last few years in the way OF
grading, curbing and guttering streets,
putting in cement walks. ETC.. and people
over there feel too poor, many of them, to
stand another assessment just at present.
J The committee on remonstrance are CIR
culating twelve blank petitions for sigma
lures in the district affected, and while
! they realize that the council can do as they
| please in the matter, they wish to show the
board the feeling Of the people In the mat
| ter anyway.
| The Vrooman act, under which the coun-
| Gil Is acting, was passed by the legsla-
| ture and approved March Is. 1885, 1t being
| IAN act to provide for work upon streets.
lanes, alleys. courts. places. sidewalks,
| and for the construction of sewers in mu-
inequalities" This original act was amend
| ed at every session of the legislature since
| 1885. Section g. part l. says: "At the time
| specified said city council shall hear the
objections urged and pass upon the same,
+! and its decision shall be final and conclu-
| sive and the said bar for six months to
any further proceedings shall not be appli-
cable thereto"
| The petition being circulated reads as
| follows:
1--WE, the undersigned property owners
! of the assessment district as outlined IN
| the resolution of intention. No. $685. to sewer
the East Side of Pasadena from Los Ro-
bles avenue to the eastern city limits,
would earnestly protest against the said
| sewer being constructed at the present
time for the following reasons:
"First-We do not deem the construction
a necessity from a sanitary point of view.
| "Second-The expense Of said sewer to
| many of us will be so great that 1t means
confiscation of our property. t.
"Third-We have just completed the
grading, curbing, guttering and sidewalk
| ing of many of our streets in this district
| at a great expense, which has not been
met in many cases.
"Fourth-The injustice of compelling a
few property owners to build an outfall
| sewer for the city and imposing such a
burden upon us when we have been as
sessed to build nearly all the sewers of the
| city at present constructed, We deem un-
| Just and not equitable.
| "Fifth-If deemed necessary to construct
| the outfall sewer from Glenarm street to
| the corner of Lake avenue and California
street. then we ask your honorable body
to cause a new assessment district to be
declared taking in the entire city of Pasa-
dena."
