| ADOPTED at last nights MEETING anu
moved its adoption at this meeting. An
| amendment was offered to the effect
lsahat all franchises not lived up to should
F, be declared by the city council as for
| feited. o. T. Fellows thought there was
| but one objection to the resolution-it
was too mild. c. w. Bell offered sub
stitute to the effect that the council be
requested to declare forfeited all un-
earned franchises for electric roads. Mr..
Mcpherson, in seconding the motion.
thought the Pasadena and Pacific peo-
pie would probably get what they want
| ed and have their cars running on West
Colorado street by Monday, but he was
very sure it would only act as a BOOM
erang, and that people would simply re-
fuse to patronize the corporation that
was trying to grab everything In sight.
When the motion was put it was car
ried by unanimous vote, or thought
to be unanimous from the loudness of
the ayes and the lack Of noes, but when
a rising vote was called for there was
just one man who voted no.
An amendment was offered to the eff
feet that the council be requested to in
struct the city marshal to remove the
obstruction on West Colorado street if
1t could be legally done.
T. E. Gibbon being called on, said he
did not think he could add anything of
Importance, after the earnest words and
unanimous action of the hundreds of
Pasadena's representative citizens as
sembled. He said the company intends
to build Immediately, reading part of a
letter from the president of the road
saying they would rush the work and
be ready for business by May if not OBJ
structed.
