Field-Bre vities

PASADENA, June 11-(Office of The
Herald 5S East Colorado street) A
handsome flag, ten by twenty feet in size,
was raised on a pole sixty-two feet from
the ground at the Country club house
today. The event was the occasion Of
somewhat over two hundred people as
sembling on the handsome grounds
southeast of the city. Refreshments
were served on the grounds. and the Pas
adena band, conveyed thither by tally
no, furnished the music. The address
of the occasion was made by George s.
Patton of Los Angeles. AS the flag was
raised aloft there were loud cheers, and
salute was fired by the following rep
resentative citizens: Messrs. E. r. Hull,
King Macomber, c. z. Morehouse, c. S.
Christy, j. b. Miller and DR.. F. r. Chad
bourne.
School Tax Favored
The special school tax election passed
off very quietly at the Wilson school
building today, 154 votes being pollcd.
The question submitted to the voters was
that of voting a tax to the amount of
$4,000 for the purpose of additional school
facilities, to-wit: For the construction of
a four-room addition to the Wilson school
building and a skylight for the same
building. The polls were opened this
morning at 8 o'clock and closed at sun
down. AS was generally taken for
granted. the result was very much in
favor of the tax. The vote stood 1874 yeas
and 20 noes. j. d. Gaylord and George
Taylor acted as judges and Charles d.
Tying as inspector.
Franchises in Statu Quo
The city council was to have met this
morning at o'clock as a committee Of
the whole for the consideration of franz
chise applications, and especially the ap-
plication of the Terminal, but no meeting
was held, as Mr.. Gibbon Of the Terminal
was absent. The result will be that on
Monday nothing will be done toward
granting any franchises, as today's ses-
sion was to have paved the way for max
ing some headway with the business. 1t
is probable, however, that at Mondays
meeting something will be done toward
permitting the San Garbiel Electric COM
pany to do business in Pasadena.

inquired into the matter, which they did
not do.
