PASADENA
PASADENA. March 2S.-(Regular
Correspondence All members were
present at the regular meeting of the city
council this afternoon. c. J. Willet ap-
peared before the board in behalf of the
Terminal franchise to ask that the mat
ter be postponed another week, which
was granted. This was asked for on ac-
count of the absence of Attorney Glib
bon, who is in Washington.
Bids were opened as follows for the ex
pert examination of the city accounts:
r. T. Marshall, $45; w. w. Polk, S22; W.
S. Nosworthy, $50, or So per day. The
contract was awarded to w. w. Polk.
Frank Walker appeared before the
board in reference to the claim of the
Perine Paving company which had been
assigned to him. This is the claim which
falls due on account of the recent dleci-
sion In the supreme court. Owing to the
fact that the trustees and the city attor-
ney had not satisfied themselves as to
just what is due Walker, he was asked
to call next Monday. and his claim was
referred to the city attorney. Trustee
Hamilton reported an offer from the
Lake Vineyard Land and Water COM
pany of the waste water from the Villa
street reservoir for sewer purposes, pro-
vlded the city will lay the pipe. AS the
distance would be short and the cost
less than 500. it was thought that the
offer ought to be taken advantage Of
The matter was referred to the superin-
tendent of streets for investigat tion
The resolution adopted by the recent
citizens meeting, asking that the coun-
Gil endeavor to see that the streets are
kept free from dust on Sundays, was pre-
serted and Trustee Reynolds moved that
the request be granted and that Orange
Grove avenue, Colorado street and Fair
Oaks avenue and Raymond north CT
Vineyard be sprinkled on Sundays and
that the other streets be not sprinkled
on Sundays. Mr.. Washburn thought
that all the streets need sprinkling on
Sundays as well as on other days. The
matter was finally referred to the su-
perintendent of streets with instructions
to use his best efforts to keep the streets
free from dust.
Trustee Washburn made motion that
the city engineer be instructed to take
levels from the sewer near Raymond
hill to the sewer farm for an outfall
sewer. The motion was adopted
Mr.. Campbell, who some time ago
offered a proposition for toll road
through his ranch. appeared again be-
fore the board. Trustee Hamilton
thought toll roads behind the times. Mr..
Campbell-Johnson stated that he had
gone before the county superviors and
they had asked for an opinion from the
city council. The chief obstacle seemed
to lie in the building of bridge across
the arroyo, which would cost from $4,000
to $4,000. The council expressed no fur
ther opinion, but motion was adopted
to the effect that they saw no objection
to the county granting a franchise for
the road DOR ten years.
George H. Frost and Chas. E. Putnam
were each granted permission to erect
corrugated sheds on their lots
Trustee Washburn was chosen to rep
resent the three and a half shares of
Pasadena Land and Water companys
stock owned by the city at the company's
annual meeting

PHILOSOPHICAL.
At the Theosophical meeting last even
ing, l.. F. Weirsmuller OF Los Angeles
was the speaker, and her subject "The
Loss of the Soul" The secret doctrine
ancient philosophy, and the Christian
scriptures all advance the idea of the
possible destruction of the human soul
as the penalty for certain transgres-
sions. Whenever man descends to the
animal plane and loses his human birth
right, he does so at the sacrifice of his
higher ego, or the vehicle of self-con-
sciousness. This descent is never mat
ter of accident or misfortune but of con-
scious will. The materialism of the age
tends in this direction, with its vivisec-
tion and hypnotism. with it's selfish haste
to get rch, and it's disregard of the great
manity.
