PASADENA. March 1.-THE courcil
chamber will be packed with spectators
at tomorrow's session OF the board OF
trustees. when the franchise ma'ter
comes I'D again, and various predictions
are being mace as to the action the board
will take when the big petition is pre-
sented. There are considerably over i
thousand names attached to th's re-
ouest of the people. which simply asks
that the Terminal road be granted
franchise over the route asked Tor, SO
that it may be enabled to do puslness
with the people of Pasadena on some
where near an even footing with the
Pasadena and Pacific road. 1t Is re-
nor;ed that each side will have some
additional Inducements TO present. ano
the matter may rot be settled at To-
morrow's meeting. but there are rea-
sons for believing that the Terminal
Will be let into Pasadena on certain
conditions which It will not be difhcuit
TO fu,nll If the company intends to op-
crate as extensively as its friends have
been declaring. ore of these corditiohs
is likely TO be that the line shali De
put in operation to the eastern limits
of the city as soon as 1t can be built
Further than this in the direction OF
Sierra Madre the councils jurisdiction
does not extend, of course. but the trus-
tees, would no doubt like TO be able TO
spec;fy as one of the conditions OF the
franchise that cars should be running
to Sierra Madre as soon as 10 Los An
geles. A suggestion which fnds mucn
favor on all sides is that there should
be an, ordinance passed requiring al
lines to light the streets over which
they pass. Probably SUCH legislation
could be made to apply to roads already
constructed but 1t could certainly be
made one of the conditions or granting
a franchise to any road that may IN
the future apply for franchise. Many
| cities in the east are requiring TINS OF
the electric lines on the score OF pupic
| safety. They require that an mean
descent light shall be placed on every
trolley pole along the street.
