PASADENA, Feb 15.--It is intimated
today that the North Pasadena Water
company will not sell to the city for
$4,000. as was announced by the city
council yesterday, and that an agree
ment has been reached whereby the
price is fixed at $150,000. Henry Gohe-
gan, j. p. Baumgartner and II. II.
Hertel, the three members Of the water
committee from the board Of trade, are
meeting frequently with the water com
mittee from the city council and hope
to have their report ready for publica-
tion in about week.
Attorney NJ. Llssner Of Los Angeles,
who is in charge of the suit brought
by Mrs. Shearer against the members
of the party in the automobile at the
time her husband was killed by the
machine. telephoned to Lawyer Elmer
l. Moody, attorney for the defendants
In the case, asking that a consultation
be held. Accordingly, this afternoon
there was a long conference at Moody's |
office in the Slavin block, but no defi-
mite decision was reached. However, |
there is to be another meeting in the
morning, and those most interested |
hope that a compromise may be made
Feeling against the rapid driving of
the big foreign machines in this local
ity has developed into a general con-
viction that the laws governing the
rate of speed should be even more strict
than at present. A peculiar form of
advertising has been one of the results
of the accident. Nearly every owner of
an automobile has received advertise
ments for liability insurance, "a val
liable protection against damage suits"
Most of those receiving the circulars do
not deem such insurance wise since
naturally it would serve only to make
a careless driver more reckless.

ting terms.
