PASADENA, March Cit IS expected
that there will be lively times IN the
council chamber at the regular session
on Monday afternoon, when the matter
of the electric road franchises comes up
again. Friends of the Terminal say
that the whole attitude of some OF the
trustees has shown from the first that
they were determined TO Keep OUT the
competing line, and now that Colorado
street is taken up by the other road, 1t is
discovered that both Union and Green
streets are too narrow, and all sorts Oh
difficulties are placed in the way OF the
Terminal people to keep them from
getting into the heart of the city in a
manner to do their fair share or the pusl-
ness. 1t seems doubtful whether
franchise will be granted to the Ier-
minal to run an additional set or cars on
Colorado street through the busiest part
Of the CITY. and if not about all there is
left is for them to come in on Union and
make a loop to Green, or vice versa, ana
this is understood to be what the Ter
1ninal people 6esire, but there is said 10
be opposition on account of the narrow
ness of the streets. For the line to the
eastern part of the city, and thence to
Sierra Madre franchise is wanted out
