PASADENA

PASADENA, April 24.-(Regular Cor
respondence.) Undoubtedly the council
chamber of the city hall will be overflow
ing with expectant citizens again on
Monday afternoon, to which time the
matter of the electric franchise was once
more postponed. But it is not at all
probable that a definite proposition will
be presented by the Pasadena and Pa
cific company.
At3p.m. today Mr. Dewey of the Pasa-
dena and Pacific Electric company sub
mitted a proposition for the purchase
of the electric light plant. A committee
of three of the stockholders of the latter
company Immediately met to consider
the proposition. They decided to accept
it. President Torrance dissenting. Mr.
Torrance, however, signed the agree
ment, which practically closes the deal.
He then resigned as director. manager
and president of the company, his resig-
nation to take effect May 1st. 1t is un-
derstood that it is not the Pasadena and
Pacific company which buys, but the
purchase is made by Redlands capt.
talist who will lease the plant to the
Pasadena and Pacific company for one
year.

Pasadena quite distinguished herself
yesterday in the floral parade in Los
