STREET IMPROVEMENT
a PASADENA TH0RoUGHFARE
TO BE PUT IN GOOD REPAIR
Nessrs. Baker and Thurston's Inge-
nious Scheme-New Pastor for
Lincoln Avenue Church

PASADENA, (Office of The Herald s.
East Colorado streets), March 2.-Wesi
Colorado street, from Delacey street te
Pasadena avenue, is being improved, the
work having been started today. The
street will be macadamized with broken
stone and disintegrated granite nine inches
deep. Then it will be rolled with steam
roller and by that time it is very likely
that the street will not be the slough OF
despond which heretofore it has been after
q rain. The following property owners
have signed the agreement, representing
the number of front feet attached TO their
respective names: A. +. Mills, 215 feet;
Adams-Phillips Co., 50 feet; S. S. Fries,
12 feet; Park Nursery, 105 feet; Mrs. A L..
McCaldin, 50 feet; r. Z. Montgomery, 20
feet; San Gabriel Valley bank, so feet; A.
f, Christensen, 25 feet. The total length
of street to be improved is about $40 feet
and other property owners have agreed TO
sign.
The granite for this street work comes
from the Scoville hill. The property own
ers are charged so cents a foot for the i'm
provement The balance of the cost is made
I'D from the regular street Improvement
fund. The plan of the city authorities Is
to improve most or all the streets OF this
city in this manner where Improvement Is
needed. The Better Roads society has
been advocating this move for some time
and now that it is inaugurated the society
feels eXultant
