PASADENA

(, PASADENA, May 15-(Regular Corre-
spondence) The town is pretty thorough
ly disturbed over the electric franchise
matter and very likely the number Of In
terested spectators at the council chamber
on Monday will be larger than ever. There
has been a persistent effort made by GER
tain interested parties to make 1t appear
that the banks of Pasadena are largely
involved In the fate of the Pasadena and
Los Angeles sRailwaX-company, and they
have attempted to create this impression
so as to make 1t appear If possible that the
, credit of the city itself is involved in the
success or failure of the schemes of this
corporation. through our banks-recog-
nixed as among the very soundest financial
institutions in the country, and differed
by some of the leading men of the COM
munity, men, of well known honor and In
tegrity. But those who are in a position
to know scout the idea that the banks have
anything to lose. whatever may become of
the deep-laid schemes of the triumvirate

capital for themselves on the strength Of
the false impressions thus created-or
rather sought to be created-in the public
The banks are amply secured for all they
have advanced. 1t is said that history has

who have put sea in a bowl. having already
I encountered some rather heavy seas of
public sentiment, will have to take pretty
sudden tack for shore if they are to DEM
Onstrate that they have any better title
than the men Of old to the appellation
''three wise men, (of Gotham.) Pasadena
has decided objections to being pointed out
as the Gotham from which they sailed,
but II the city trustees. are foolish enough
to allow them to use the credit of Pasadena
wherewith to raise the wind" to fill their
sails ws shall have the title forced upon
us. However, 1t need not surprise anyone
II the bowl capsizes after all, to be replaced
by a stauncher craft. There may be a
proposition before the council soon that
will be worth listening to. In the mean
time It is said that all the arrangements
with the Pasadena and Los Angeles COM
pany to light the streets are practically
completed. Here are few of the names
taken from the petition asking the council
to grant the franchise asked for by the
Terminal. These are but small fraction
of the number appended to the petition. AS
1t was presented to the council 1t contained
1881 names. Nearly 200 more names were
signed afterwards by citizens who had not
previously had an opportunity to sign it,
making In the neighborhood of 1000 names
altogether.
