follows:
We, the Republicans of Pasadena, in
convention assembled, declare that we IA
vor a broad and liberal policy in future
legislation to the end that present invest
ments may not be unnecessarily deprecia-
ted, and new investments be encouraged.
resulting in healthy competition in all
utilities of life. Fully realizing that no
branch of the jublic service is today more
prominently before the public than the
question of transportation, we do hereby
welcome all lines of transportation desir-
ing to enter our city, and to accord to each
proper and reasonable facilities, under just
limitations and restrictions.
We deprecate the unbuSinesslike policy
that wastefully grants valuable franchises
for railways, electric lighting, telephone or
telegraph lines upon terms incommensur-
ate with their future values.
We further believe that the interests and
beauty of our city demand that, If practi-
cable. all wires for use in the conveyance
of electricity. telephone or telegraph pur-
poses shall be either placed under ground
or in the alleys of the immediate business
center.
We hereby declare and pledge ourselves
to an economical and honest administra-
tion of the affairs of this city. We are
proud of the progress already made in road
building in our beautiful city, and believe
that poorly kept streets and ungraded
roads not only detract from the appear
ance of the city at large, but actually di-
minish the market value of all realty.
Therefore, we pledge to this branch of
the public service our special attention.
haf he 1a AJa
of transportation has come to occupy
place in the necessities of business and
demands that the future building of road
ways shall provide for it's safe and con-
yenient use.
We are now, as we always have been,
opposed to the saloon in Pasadena.
We recognize the right of petition as
guaranteed to us by the organic law of the
land and pledge ourselves to duly respect
the same at all times.
