Merchants association held a meeting
today and chose the following officers
for the ensuing year: Chester d. Sar-

tary and treasurer. 1t was also decided
to fix the time for the regular meet
ings on the second Monday in each
month. Two standing committees will
be added to those already provided for

and one on good roads. 1t is interest
ing to note that at last nights BAN

pledged themselves in favor of annex
ing adjacent territory which desires to
come into the city. The immediate rea-
son for such action is probably the ac-
tion of residents of East Pasadena in
voting for annexation and in the state
ment made in some quarters that Pas
adena does not care to receive the east
ern suburb for fear of the responsible
tiles which are likely to come with it,
