SOUTH PASADENA
South Pasadena is engaged in political
campaign. The town Is placarded with an
address signed MANY Voters" This affair
demands reduction OF 70 per cent or more
on city expenses. In regard to franchises
there Is a section favoring new railways
and cycleways but opposed ito obstruct-
ing and butchering up our streets for rail-
roads. as has been done heretofore and
opposed to a bicycle viaduct that will de-
stroy the value of property, make homes
unpleasant and cut off our grand view"
The property owners along the cycleway
route are against the granting of a fran
chise to the cycleway. There will probably
be two tickets in the field for the little
burg's municipal election. One party is
lead by o. r. Dougherty and other old res
idents, another by Councilmen Rust and
Longley. The latter Is composed largely
of the younger element and they seem to be
in favor of annexing to Pasadena.
