Today's Council
At the regular meeting of the city coun-
Gil tomorrow (Tuesday) morning there are
several matters of some Importance to
come up, among them being the final vote
on the granting Of the franchise to the
Terminal railway for an electric line
through the city Of Pasadena. There Will
be no opposition. In the matter of the
municipal ownership of the water system,
options have been scured upon number of
tracts of land which are thought to be
good locations for wells, and these will be
brought before the council. They are To-
Gated in North Pasadena, being owned by
M d. Painter and DIR. Royal respectively.
The price will be about $500 per acre. II Is
thought that the council will be asked to
make an appropriation to secure these
lands.
School Attendance
The public schools Of this city opened
today with a decided increase over the
number in attendance at the opening last
H. L., l.. -
sixty-seven, making a total enrolment of
27S. The Pasadena high school has been
accredited by the State university. so that
its graduates can enter the university at
Berkeley by presentation of their certif-
Gates of graduation without further exam
ination. The fame of the Pasadena high
school has, indeed, spread until applica-
tions for admission have been received from
surrounding towns and states as far away
as Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois. class of
between fifty and one hundred will proba-
bly, be graduated this year and still larger
classes hereafter.
Brevities
The cycleway between Los Angeles and
Pasadena will soon be pushed to compile
tion. The city trustees of South Pasadena
have come to an agreement with H. M.
Dobbins by which they will grant him q
franchise for the cycleway through that
city. This removes the main obstacle to
the progress of the enterprise, and now
after several months delay. 1t is probable
that 1t will be pushed to completion. The
agreement is that the California Cycleway
company is to pay the city of Pasadena
$3.50 a year in addition to what may be its
bid under the three per cent percentage
law. The cycleway company Is to build
steel bridges over all the streets.
Mrs. Webb of Summit avenue and Mrs.
Gilmore were quite badly injured last even
ing by being thrown from a buggy the
horse having become frightened while near
Illinois street. After throwing the ladies
out, the animal ran at a breakneck speed
through the town TO Columbia street. Mrs.
Webb had her back quite severely wrench
ed. while Mrs. Gilmore was hurt about the
head, being picked up insensible and taken
to her home. They are both getting along
nicely, though It will be some time before
they can be out again. The horse wandered
around during the night and was gathered
