PASADENA

PASADENA, April 20.-(Regular Cor
respondence.) The electric railway ques-
tion is still kept before the people in let
ters to the local press, as we'll as in
conversations on the streets and wher-
ever business men happen to meet. In
fact, 1t will not down. and until the city
council concludes to give all an even
chance and allow all companies to come
form the subject of indignant comment
on all sides. 1t is now stated on what
appears to be good authority that there
will soon be cheap electric power at our
doors and that the Pasadena and Pa
cific company has contracted for large
amount of electric power for its proposed
monopoly OF the transportation interests
of the city. This cheap power is to come
from the two companies which are de-
veloping water power from the San Ga
briel and Santa Ana rivers, each claim
ing to have 5000 horsepower to be dis
tributed to Los Angeles and Pasadena.
To this end they applied for franchises
from the supervisors and will put in
their lines to carry the electricity to
these cities at once. With all this elec-
trio power to be supplied at low rates to
consumers. it would look to a man up a
tree like an exceedingly foolish thing
for the city council of Pasadena to tie
the city to a monopoly OF It's electric SER
vice, even though It be done apparently
for only a brief time-that is with the
privilege of terminating the agreement"
at any time. 1t is useless to lock the
barn after the horse is stolen.
