stores. At Shaper's dry goods store he

After Electric Arches
President D. M. Linnard will be
host at another dinner next Tuesday
evening at the Maryland hotel, when
the directors of the board of trade
and the Merchants association, the
mayor, city officials and members of
second informal dinner is a result Of
the very pleasant social dinner last
night when President Linnard enter
tanned the two boards of directors
above named. Over the cigars these
wideawake gentlemen discussed a
number of matters of public concern,
one of them being the suggestion that
Colorado street be spanned with cleo
trio arches. 1t is now proposed to get
AI,A Of 10 Nit aTY1f m a
together to informally discuss this
project.
AS suggested last evening the orig
inal plan is to erect two arches at each
street intersection from Delacy street
to Los Robles avenue. Each arch will
cost about $500 and 1t is desired that
the business men pay the initial cost of
these arches and the city to maintain
them and furnish the lights. 1t is be-
lieved that the system will gradually
grow until the entire street between
the corner arches will be similarly
lighted President Linnard is quite
enthusiastic in support of the scheme
and his enthusiasm is catching, as 1t
always is.
Plan Sunday Concerts
AS soon as the present series of Sat
urday evening band concerts on Colo
RADIO street is ended efforts will be
made toward having a series of Sun
day afternoon outdoor concerts in one
of the city parks. The evenings are be-
coming a little too cool for the outdoor
concerts and 1t Is urged that the Sum
day afternoon concerts would be even
more popular with all classes of peo-
pie. Friends of the movement are said
to have approached Mayor Waterhouse
concerning the use of the city parks for
these concerts and 1t is reported that
although he was not very enthusiastic
over the scheme he might ultimately
give his consent. Manager Ralph Sal
isbury has resigned the business man
agership of the Crown City band to j.
J. Shelton. The new manager will wait
upon the local business men and learn
the sentiment with reference to the
Sunday concerts.
Will Meet Competition
A week ago the Salt Lake railroad
notified the local board of trade that
it intended to shortly inaugurate though
sleeping car service from this city to
eastern points. When asked as to the
date such a service is likely to be be-
gun the Southern Pacific officials said
that 1t would come as soon as that of
the Salt Lake. I'VE will certainly
meet any such competition" he said.
1--WE have been talking Of just
such a project for Pasadena for
a long time. We would have to
haul the sleeper only to the junction
