CYCLE PATH PROGRESS
MR.. DOBBINS AND HIS RIGHT OF
WAY
Pasadena Wants Too Many Conces-
sions-Mountain Fires Are
Under Control

PASADENA (Ofiice Of The Herald, So
East Colorado streeO, Sept 1.-The Cali
fornia Cycieway company has gained all
the right of way between this city and Los
Angeles with the exception Of about $500
feet, and this latter stretch can be secured
as soon as the South Pasadena city council
grants the company franchise. So the
business Is resting only upon the action Of
the South Pasadena council. A meeting
was held last night at which there were
present the council and repres tatives of
the cycleway. The council wishes Promoter
Dobbtns of the cycleway to light the streets
and to build Iron bridges along the cycle
way route where needed. Mr.. Dobbins
says he is willing 10 do either of these
things for the city, but does not think that
he should be required to do both. Some
time ago the council stuck at the PROPOSE
tion of elevat!ng the track above the
ground. They were unwilling to have an
elevated structure such as proposed ex-
tending through their town, arguing that
such structure would greatly obstruct
the view. They intimated that they would
be willing to advertise the franchise IT the
path was to be built on level with the
ground Mr.. Dobbins declined emphatical-
ly to do the latter. So the matters awaits
an agreement which 1t Is hoped may be
reached at another meeting to be held
Thursday might between the council and
the cycleway company. Should the corn-
Gil grant the franchise the company would
at once secure its remaining strip Of way,
buy lumber and have the path finished by
next spring or summer probably.
