Building on the Increase
The monthly report of Building
and Plumbing Inspector Shaver shows
a creditable increase in building opera
tions in Pasadena during the month
of August. A total of 1873 building per-
mits was issued during the month, the
value of building improvements being
S160,S67. This is somewhat larger than
the total for the preceding month of
July, and $1S,142 more than the total
for August of last year. One hundred
and fifty-flve plumbing permits were
issued on work calling for an expendi-
ture of $24, ,454.90. This brings the ag-
ing August to $1S5, 5,312.92. The total
amount Of fees received during the
month by the building and plumbing
inspectors office was S3S3.75. This re-
port does not give any idea of the ex-
tent of the building operations of the
month in territory tributary to Pasa-
dena the outlying districts on the
border Of the corporation, where much
building has been going on.

Police Judge Wood today imposed a
fine of one dollar upon each of the nine
bicyclists arrested by officer Schultz
some days ago on South Mentor ave-
nue.. The court made an inspection of
the street at the place where the offense
was committed and appeared to think
that there was much excuse for the
men taking the sidewalk. But every
man Of the nine had entered a plea of
guilty, so a merely nominal fine was
assessed.
