nance calling for an election on the

troduced at a special meeting Of the

S3S2, 800 for the second.

for the purchase of the plant Of the
North Pasadena Land and Water
company, for $SO,OOO.
Proposition number three is for the
voting of bonds to the amount Of $685.
$50 for the purchase Of the East Pasa-
dena Water company's plant. This
price includes all the valuable wells
on the east side.
The next asks for $25,00O for the
purchase of the San Gabriel Narrows
as a permanent water supply for the
future.
Number five authorizes bonds to the
amount of S19S,750 for the construction
of additions and improvements to the
systems and for the increase of the
