PASADENA

632SAOGN "A
PASADENA, Sept. 20.-(Regular Corre-
spondence.) At meeting of the city cOun-
Gil this afternoon Trustee Reynolds re-
ported that he had conferred with the man
'ager of the telephone company In regard
to the erection of poles on Orange Grove
avenue In place of the present fire alarm
poles, which are rotting out That gentle
man thought that one line of forty-foot
poles would be sufficient. The underground
system of wires would be too expensive.
Nothing will be done until more definite
arrangements can be made between the
city and the telephone company.
Only one bid was handed in today for
digging the we'll on the sewer farm. This
bid was from Charles Mosher, who in
closed check. The bid was opened, read
and rejected.
A. r. Metcalfe, ESQ.,, attorney for DR..
Talcott, asked permission to erect brick
veneered building with corrugated roof,
15x20, in rear of McCament's confectionery
store, building to have an oven attached
and to be used for baking purposes by Mr..
McCament. Granted.
H. A. Pinkham petitioned the board to
be allowed to erect a gospel tent on the
corner of Union street and Raymond ave-
nue., to be used for two weeks. Granted.
The petition of Beers & Brockman who
asked permission to erect sign over the
alley in rear of 81 South Raymond avenue,
was referred to the superintendent of
streets with power to act. 1t is understood
that the sign is to be fifteen feet from the
ground.
The board denied the petition signed by
1853 persons. requesting that paper carriers,
telephone and telegraph line men and mes
sengers be permitted to ride on the side
walks under certain restrictions. The Pc
tition proposed that the city furnish badgesl
to the privileged persons; that carriers be
permitted to ride on the sidewalks only
from the hurs of to 9 a. m. and 4 to 8
p. M; that they should ride on the side
walk only when the roads were unfit for
cycling, and that at night a lantern should
be carried. The board seemed disposed
to treat the petitioners fairly, but 1t was
the sentiment that riding on the sidewalks
at all would be dangerous.
