resolution that would prevent the Pas
adena and Pacific company from balk-
ing or attempting to balk the Terminal
company from laying tracks on any
other streets of the city, as the said
company did In the matter of laying on
West Colorado street. Mr.. Reynolds
resolution was as follows:
That any franchise that may have
been granted for the running of street
cars over and along the public streets
of the city OF Pasadena in this resolu-
tion named be and are hereby declared
forfeited and void because of the failure
to run cars thereon for the space of one
month or more preceding the passage
of this resolution. The streets and por-
tions of streets over which this for
feiture applies are particularly describ-
ed as follows to wit: Commencing at
the intersection of Green street and the
right OF way of the Terminal company;
thence along Green to Raymond; also.
at the intersection of Colorado street
and Euclid thence along Euclid to Villa /;
thence along Villa to Los Robles; also.
commencing at the intersection of Eu-
clid and Walnut; thence along Walnut
to Los Robles.
The resolution was not seconded, the
other councilmen not being disposed to
believe that such a resolution was neces-
sary, as a franchise relating to the
streets named has never been granted.
