BREvITIES
Secretary Roynton Of the board Of trade
reports quite a large number of carriages
offered with which to show the visiting con-
ductors about the city when they arrive
here Thursday morning, but he says more
are needed. All citizens who will send or
bring their carriages to take the visitors
around the city are requested to report to
Secretary Boynton as soon as possible. Il
is to be hoped there will be good response.
for Pasadena must sustain her we'll known
reputation for hospitality. The visitors will
arrive by Terminal and Southern Pacific
trains on Thursday morning from $3.50 till
, o'clock.
The opinion is quite generally expressed
among business men en- Colorado street
that the Terminal should be allowed to en-
ter the city over that street when the fran.
ckise Is granted, instead of being obliged
to come In on either Green or Union street.
This can be done under the provisions of
the present law. which allows street rail-
ways to use five consecutive blocks of an
other company's line The people are anx-
ious that the Terminal or any other COM
pany that wishes to come into Pasadena
be allowed the same rights as the present
company, and that fair play be shown all
around. OF course 1t is quite generally sup
posed that the trustees will pass the neces-
sary resolution advertising for bids for the
proposed franchise asked for by the Ter
minal at the next meeting of the council.
Notwithstanding that the reorganization
committee of tho p. and L. A. road and
their agents are laboring with the caenbers
OF the board early and late, evidently try
ing to fix up some scheme by which their
plans for a monopoly may yet be carried
through. The people have too much con-
fidence In tho good sense and integrity of
the trustees. however. to believe that any
scheme leading to a monopoly will be car
ried through
