TO ARTHUR'S MEMORY
w. S. Wright took the oath of office as city
attorney and the resolution of intention to
widen Walnut street was passed. The fol
lowing memorandum in regard to the late
City Attorney Arthur was filed and copy
ordered sent to Mrs. Arthur:
William f. Arthur, city attorney for
the city of Pasadena, died at his resi-
dence in this city on the 23d day of No
vember, 1898, at the age of 33 years. lie
had served the city as its attorney Tor
over eight years well and faithfully.
During that period we can find no record
that the city lost dollar by reason of
any inetficiency or oversight on his part.
He was ever watchful of the interests of
the city, of its taxpayers and its lnhabl-
tants. Gifted beyond his fellows his
work was done without ostentation or
display. The inspiration OF his ability
and watchfulness has made less rugged
the path of many city officials.
We congratulate the people of this city
for having enjoyed the valuable service
of Mr.. Arthur. and we unite with the
people in mourning his loss. We tender
to Mrs Arthur an expression OF pro-
found regret and sympathy on this oc-
casion.

Prof. Policy described his experiences in
Europe during the recent war. The general
feeling against us at the opening of the war
was due to ignorance. he said. and this ig
norance he attributed to rude diplomacy on
the part of our foreign consuls, who are poll
