Moody OF Los Angeles, and DIR. Nor
man Bridge and Arthur IL. Fleming Of
this city, members of the committee
empowered to choose q site for the col
lege, made a formal visit to the two
magnificent sites offered by Pasadena
today and let 1t be understood that
within a day or two the long-awaited
decision will be given.
The committee assembled at the
Hotel Maryland for O'Clock dinner as
the guests of President ID. NJ. Linnard.
the head of the local Board of Trade.
Mr.. Huntington came over from Santa
Ana by automobile especially to be
present at the important meeting. re-
turning to Santa Ana again this even
ing. The following at the invitation
of Mr.. Linnard joined the committee
at dinner and accompanied the party
on it's tour of inspection: Rev. DR..
Mcleod, DIR. George e. Abbott, A. j.
Bertonneau, d. w. Coolidge, Gen.
Heap, c. NJ. Randolph. II. ]. Stuart,
e. II. May, John b. Dame and ]. o.
McCament. At 2 o'clock the party set
out in five automobiles for visit to
the Kinneloa site, offered by Abbott
of what is known as the Dorsey tract,
fifty acres out of which Senator
Dorsey has offered in the hope of
bringing the college to Pasadena The
return to the hotel was made at
D. m. The members of the commit
tee were much pleased with the two
tracts shown them, but refrained from
any expression of preference and went
to their homes only assuring their
hosts of their utmost good Will.
1t would be difficult to find two sites
which offer as many advantages for
the location of an institution of the
kind as the Kinneloa and Dorsey
tracts. 1t is believed, however, that the
Dorsey tract stands the better chance,
for the reason that it is more easily
accessible.
VIII Have Sunday Concert
The Crown City is to have at least one
Sunday afternoon band concert, in spite
of the action of the commissioners in
denying the use of one of the city parks
for the purpose. Charles Grimes, who
has been leading the movement for an
other series of these outdoor concerts
has secured the use of a vacant lot
directly opposite the Library park and
here bandstand will be erected for the
Crown City band. At 2 o'clock Sunday
the band will begin a concert, covering
two hours. 1t is understood that the
concert is to be given for the purpose
of learning just how many favor such a
form of Sunday entertainment. If 1000
people listen to the concert the series
may be continued indefinitely. If 1t is
seen that the people do not care for the
concert all further efforts along that
line will be dropped.
To Discuss Annexation
President C. A. Day of the East Side
Improvement association has called a
meeting of East Pasadena residents for
Thursday evening at 110 South Chester
avenue The proposed attempt to have
the district annexed to Pasadena VIII be
discussed in all it's bearings. The sec
tion lying between the east city limits
and Allen avenue, with California street
on the south and Villa street on the
north, now has about 500 residents and
is rapidly building up. Many new plats
have been recently put on the market
and citizen purchasers are beginning to
clamor for better school facilities, better
fire and police protection than that at
the present time afforded. A more
modern school building which Will ac-
commodate more pupils must be Sc
cured, and an effort will be made to
convince the school district of that fact
If, as reported, Pasadenans will oppose
the annexation of this district because
of the several problems which would be
saddled on the city with the new ter
ritory the extent of this opposition will
be learned. There are Trany also In
this district who will oppose asking the
city for annexation, and their side of
the question will be considered at the
meeting called by the Improvement
association.
Manager George NJ. Lubbock of the
Family theater hopes to open his
theater in a short time for regular
Sunday afternoon performances. he
says that he cannot make money
enough to warrant his keeping open
unless he can give a Sunday show.
He does not know of any municipal or
state law which will prohibit his doing
this, but is afraid that the city council
will pass an ordinance charging him a
prohibitive license fee should he make
the attempt In fact he has had such
an intimation from the mayor. The
storm of opposition stirred up by ad-
Vocates of the Sunday afternoon band
concerts has not emboldened him. He
may petition the council as sort of
feeler before going any further with his
present plans.
