PASADENA

PASADENA, Sept. 27-(Regular Cores
pondence.) At the meeting of the city coun-
Gil this afternoon, President Hartwell and
Trustees Reynolds, Patten and Washburn
were present.
Attorney Willett, for the protestants
north Of Walnut street against the Los
Robles avenue sewer signif1ed his willing
ness that the protest go over for another
week. Not one of the residents north Of
Walnut Mr.. Willett said, wanted a sewer
at present. The matter was postponed un-
til next Monday. In the meantime, at 10
o'clock Friday morning, the board will meet
for further consideration Of the important
subject.
A resolution Of intention for the grade
OF Moline avenue was read, filed and ap-
proved. An ordinance establishing the
grade Of said avenue was read for the
first time. A resolution of intention or
derlng sidewalk on North Raymond ave-
nue., in response to petitio nreceived at the
last session. was adopted.
The city attorney, as instructed, reported
upon the question as to whether the city
had better issue sewer bonds payable in
gold coin. He mentioned a supreme court
decision supporting this manner Of pay
ment, but said that another decision which
Is now pending is likely to reverse the for
mer decision. He would advise the city
not to 60 ahead with the issuance Of such
bonds
City Attorney Arthur also reported that
he had looked into the matter of Brown
& Sutliff's request for a permit for build
ing on South Fair Oaks avenue, and found
that the sort of building which was pro-
jected would not be in accordance with the
ordinance. The prayer Of the petitioners
was therefore denied.
In the matter of restricting the keeping
Of cows within the city limits, the city at
torney reported by presenting form Of or
dinance for the approval of the council.
The proposed ordinance provides that no
person be permitted to keep more than two
milch COWS inside the city limits without
special permit from the council, the latter
reserving the right to revoke the permit
at any time. The violation Of the ordi-
nance Is a misdemeanor, punishable by a
fine not exceeding $500 or Imprisonment for
a period not exceeding three months, or
both. The ordinance was ordered read for
the first time.
Charles Grimes was granted permission
to erect q transparent sign on post In
front of his place of business, No. South
Fair Oaks avenue, under the supervision
Of the superintendent Of streets.
The board thought that the old Repub-
lican wigwam on the northeast corner Of
Union street and Fair Oaks avenue had
become an eyesore and should be removed.
1t was built during the campaign, and
though contrary to the ordinance, was
winked at at the time. The matter OF its
removal was referred to Mr.. Buchanan,
as building inspector.
A communication was read from c. L..
Appleford, who stated that illness had been
caused in his family by the bad sanitary
arrangements, or lack of sanitary arrange
ments, in the house, No. PAT South Pasa-
dena avenue, which he rents. There Is no
sewer connection and no cesspool. Mr..
Appleford had referred the matter to the
health officer, who ordered in some sort
of sanitary arrangements, but the owner
of the house paid no attention. Trustee
Reynolds produced a bottle of water from
his hip pocket, sample given him by Mr..
Appleford to show what his family had to
drink. The water was very bad. The coun-
Gil. while sympathizing with Mr.. Apple
ford, seemed to think that he might dig
hole of some sort to bury refuse. No
action was taken in the matter.
NEEDS SYMPATHY
About six months ago young Polish
Jewess came to Pasadena from San Franz
cisco, hoping to benefit her health. She
left a husband there whom she thought
would join her later in this city. About
seven weeks ago twin boys were born to
the woman, who is only 81 years old. A
few days ago the babes were taken to
the Montclair home, where they are being
cared for. In the meantime the mother
has been very i'll; has undergone a surgical
covery. About week ago the woman's
sister came down to tell her that her hus-
band has deserted her. and gone to the
Klondike. He is an Englishman. The case
Is calling forth a great deal of sympathy
for the mother and babes.
