PASADENA, Dec 29.-Tomorrow af-
fernoon win be announced the final
trcision as to the location of the pro-
posed rniillon-dollar women's college
in Pasadena
A meeting of the executive board of
The Pasadena board of trade was held
tonight at which the condition of af-
fairs at the present time was gone
over aud the attitude of the organiza-
tinn with reference to the two mag
niflcent sites offered decided upon pre-
p;ratory TO the visit of the trustees
of the college tomorrow The commit
Zee will not choose from the two con-
festants, but will make an unbiased
tatement of the advantages of each
and permit the trustees to have the
nnal decision.
The Kinney site and the Allen-Dor-
sey site each possess peculiar advan-
tases and in many respects would seem
Ideal for the purpose. 1t is believed
HAT the last named site will in the end
be the ORE accepted. The forthcoming
completiol of the Sierra Madre electric
line and It's nearness to the Kinneola
site is causing some farsighted Pasa-
denans to favor the Dorsey site as
more OF a Pasadena location.

Gated on the Kinney ranch and the
fclectric cars running through to Los
Angeles by way of Lamanda Park and

son these aforesaid gentlemen now IA
vor the $50 acres of less picturesque

K Allen estate because it is on the very
Border of the Pasadena city limits and
is even now clamoring for admission

irg the permanent board of trustees
DC the new college to make the final
hoice shows that they do not con-
ider the objection of much weight. At
my rate the discussion will be ended
emorrow afternoon when the trustees

llher matters of moment connected
ttith the endowment fund will be dis
llssed at the meeting.
Tournament Flowers

Entries for the floral parade. BY to-

0i before. The frost promised for to-
Taorrow morning will find flower beds
tli over the city carefully covered
eainst New Years day. If Jupiter
7luVius holds his hand until after the
tournament he will gladly be allowed

ti all the seventeen years of Pasadena's
fROse Tournament rain has fallen but
