PASADfNA'S TAX RATE
CITY FINANCES REPORTED IN
EXCELLENT CONDITION
An "Endless Chain" Practical Joke
Serious Runaway Accident-News
Notes and Personals

PASADENA (Onice Of The Herald, s.
East Colorado street), Aug. N.-At tomor-
rows meeting Of the city council the board
will fix the tax rate for the year 1883. the
fiscal year being from October LIST to Octo-
ber LIST. The money raised between these
dates will pay the city's bills from March
LIST, 1898. to March LIST, 1889. Prior to last
year the city was in the habit OF paying
Its bills from March to October with war
rants drawing s per cent Interest, when
there was not enough money on hand to
pay them, as was usually the case. The
city got a chance to catch up with its bills
last year, owing to the electric roads help
in paying the lighting biFls. 30 at will be
necessary to issue only few certificates
this year. In fact only ~, 1882 is needed
to be raised in addition to the amount On
hand to carry the city through another
year and a tax rate Of IS cents on the 500
would be SUFFICIENT to raise this amount.
However, In order to provide for next
year the rate will likely be flxed at 81. the
same as last year.
Considerable fun has been created among
the society set over "chain letter" which
was started q few days ago by q young
gentleman. In the hrst place, the young
gentleman sent four letters, ono TO each OF
four friends. requesting them TO send 10
cents to a certain young lady for the pur-
pose Of aiding her TO 90 east TO be married.
The friends were also requested to forward
the letters to four other friends, and son on,
repeating the requests indefinitely. The
young lady in the case Is the daughter Of a
weIl-known local banker and has no need
Of the contributions, which, as result of
the letters. have begun to flow in, and what
was started as q practical joke may termi-
nate in an endless annoyance.
A serious runaway accident occurred
last evening at about s o'clock on Bellevue
drive near Fair Oaks avenue. Mrs. Frank
Rogers. an elderly lady. who resides at 81
West Bellevue avenue, and Mrs. Harry
Roche, her daughter, were driving in a
single buggy. The horse took fright and
ran and threw the two ladies out Mrs.
Roche was not hurt. but Mrs. Rogers was
quite severely bruised and will be confined
to her room for some time. The vehicle
was a complete wreck when the horse was
finally caught.

Sidewalk Assessments

Our council some time in the past enacted
law that when majority Of ones neigh

to 60 into the enterprise nolens volens. The
infelicity Of this-at hrst view-plausible
act is that some men can by no possibility
