PASADENA, Nov. S.-Regular Cor
respondence. } At the regular meeting
Of the city council this afternoon C. c.
Brown appeared before the board to
protest against the condition of North
Lake avenue near the city limits. He
said that the street is dangerous be-
cause of the deep cut which the electric
company has made in it for its track.
The established grade. which the elec-
tric company went by, is eighteen inches
below the present grade of the street
Mr.. Brown said that the street super
intendent had no right to grant per-
NIT for the company to make such a
trench. He also pointed out that the
company is not running cars where it
has franchise.
Trustees Hamilton and Washburn
were not inclined to agree with Mr.
Brown, and a lively contest ensued, Mr..
:Washburn finally declaring that the
protestant did not know what he was
talking about.
President Hartwell referred the pro-
test to the street and alley COMMITTEES.
The fact of the matter is that the cleo
trio company laid it's track in accord
ance with the established grade as laid
out by the street superintendent and
city engineer. This of course let's the
company out of all blame, and on the
other hand the city can do nothing to-
wards improving the street to the es-
tablished grade until a certain number
Of property owners get together and
