'PAGADENA, lOhice of The Herald, IS
.Xaet Colorado street) March 28.-At the
ystular meeting Of the city council this
afternoon the Terrace avenue question was
heard and set for further hearing on April
eth. The proposition is to widen Terrace
avenue and extend 1t through to connect
with Pasadena avenue ut Bellefontaine
street.
An opinion on the proposed sewer bond
election was submitted by City Attorney
Arthur end accepted. He stated that he
had recently found an ugly condition in
the law. The legislature Of 1897 adopted
IN amendment to the law providing for the
r6tunding Of the existing indebtedness by
municipalities and repealed certain other
acts or parts Of acts conflicting Herewith.
Il undoubtedly intended to repeal chapter
u Of the act OF 1898. which was an act on
this same subject Of refundins indebted
ness. Instead 1t names chapter 4S as the
act repealed and unfortunately for Pasa-
dena 4S is the act passed In 1898 by the leg
islature amending the law so as to comply
with the amendment to the constitution
providing for forty-year serial bonds In
setad Of twenty-year bonds. The city at
torney further stated that other cities had
acted under this law unwittingly and that
there ware cases Of the kind In court now.
He therefore recommended that more time
be given him to look up the matter more
thoroughly and to see what decisions the
courts made. The. council needed this ad-
vice and granted more time. O
Tho cycleway franchise was considered.
There are great many protests from pri-
vate parties and these are being disposed
Of as fast as possible. g. w. Stmison, ]. s..
Mills and c. M. Phillips stated that the
oyclewGy would damage property and
streets. A resolution was adopted adver-
tising the franchise for sale, as Is the GUS
tom before accepting 1t. To this proposi-
tion Councilmen Hartwell. Patten and
WAshburn voted aye and Hamilton and
Reynolds no.
