were Judge ]. q. Rossiter. DR.. Hansen. L.
B. Palmer, W. Thompson, A. X. Nash, c.
d. Daggett and c. J. Willet. 1t was claim
ed that the improvement would not Justify
the expenditure proposed. Dr. Hansen
thought property owners on Pasadena ave-
nue. should be allowed to control their own
street; that the project was unjust and
rufnous to property; that it would cause
trouble among poor parties who could not
pay. and that at best 1t would be, when
finished, only a burlesQue boulevard. On
the other hand Messrs. Lockwood and
Kernaghan, promoters of the improve
ment answered the protestants most Wig
rrously. They stated that the total 'front.'
age of Terrace avenue would be 1890 feet,
of which over eight Thousand feet. or one
Thousand and over more than a majority,
was represented by those willing to have
the Improvement. The matter went over
tor one more week.
