LOS ANGELES COUNTY

c. w. Buchanan-I am decidedly in favor
of letting the Terminal in on an even basis
with the present road or any other road
that wants to come. AS for the city's light
ing electricity will be much cheaper within
a few years.
J. r. Greer-I think the council has done
right In not being in any haste to settle
this matter, notwithstanding the clamor of
thoughtless people who demand immediate
action. The matter of lighting the city's
streets should be carefully considered in
the light of the new developments of cleo
trio power and that action taken which will
be OF most benefit to the city without re-
gard to what company or individuals are
benefited or hsrt thereby.
Byron o. Clark-Endorses the position
of The Herald and believes the time has
come when the people should take advan-
tage of the opportunity to get cheap cleo
trio lighting.
w. j. Haller-I am strongly in favor of
allowing the Terminal or any other road
free entrance into the city and think The
Herald has hit the nail on the head in ref
erence to the solution of the lighting prob
lem.
w. Fl. Phillips--I signed the petition to
let the Terminal in and see no reason to
change my mind. If the city can be lighted
on the Riverside plan am in favor of it.
Chas A. Smith, favor any legitimate
way of reducing our taxation.
Jas. Fl. Adams-If the Los Angeles and
pasadena company would agree, in addi-
tion to lighting the streets, to construct
all branch lines where they have fran
chises, also to build line to Sierra Madre
and maintain frequent service over all
lines with a 10-cent fare to Los Angeles.
think the council would be justified in
acceding to the company's proposition, for
the reason that in this way branch lines
would be built at once.
j. w. Hughes-While reside outside the
city limits have an interest in Pasadena's s
welfare and I think The Herald's sugges-
tion regarding the lighting of Pasadena S
streets a very good one. If it could be put
to vote of the people 1t would soon be
settled right.
Joseph Simons-I am in favor of the Ter
minal being admitted on an even footing
with the present electric road On the
lighting proposition l think The Herald
has the true solution. and that 1t ought to
be acted upon by Pasadena. I believe in
public ownership of electric light plants,
gas. water and telephone plants and that
the service should be furnished to the peo-
pie at cost.
PM. Green-I don't wish to say anything.
F. c. Bolt-I have nothing to say for
publication.
j. w. Wood-I think the proposition of
the Los Angeles and Pasadena company
business proposition and that it ought to
be accepted I believe in public ownership
of lighting plants. but consider the Los
Angeles and Pasadena company's propo-
sition only temporary one.
Edwin Stearns-I believe that every mu-
nicipality should own its own electric light,
gas and water plants. do not believe any
city should give monopoly to any COM
pany, but that the franchises should be
sold to the highest bidder
Harry c. Allen-I have not given the
matter enough thought to say much about
it.
c. c. Brown-I believe that the only way
the city will be prosperous is to let every
road in and encourage competition so that
the town will build up. The Herald is right
about the lighting proposition and Pasa-
dena should follow the good example of
Riverside.
j. U. Marriner-I am of the opinion that
the Terminal ought to be let in at once.
The Herald's suggestions in regard to
lighting the city are most excellent and
ought to be carried out.
George Il. Kernaghan-It is about as
clear as mud and about as clear as many
things that appear in the newspapers
c. j. Willett-To my mind there is moth
ing diff1cult in carrying out such propo-
sition in Pasadena as has been done in Riv-
erside. If the council would investigate
and ask for bids, by the time the present
contract expires probably new contract
for power could be enteren into that would
be most advantageous to the city.
j. S. Cox-I am in favor of the city of
Pasadena conducting all l.cr affairs eco
nomically and while was on the board of
trustees l favored public ownership of gas
and electric light plants
III. r. Hertel-The Riverside plan. as out
lined In The Herald. is a good one and be-
lieve in the principle of public ownership.

people where it will do a great deal of
good. Bring flowers with you with which
to decorate the carriages.
