PASADENA COUNCIL MEETS
OPPOSITION
The Public Hearing as to the Re-
uuirements of New Ordinance
Results In Further
Disagreement
Pasadena Agency,
IL North Raymond Avenue.
Telephone Main 1147.

this afternoon for the purpose of hear
ing objections to the proposed mix
and dairy ordinance, which is intended
to regulate the sale of milk and its
products in this city. Preparatory TO
today's hearing the dairymen of the
city and neighborhood effected an or
ganization last night and present a
solid front in opposition to the trou-
blesome features of the ordinance. At
today's meeting it was contended that
the terms of the ordinance would al
low dairymen and manufacturers from
Los Angeles to undcrsell in the PasA-
dena field, not being handicapped by
the local charges for inspection and
the tuberculin test. Unless there is q
state law demanding the tuberculin
test the dairymen insist that such
requirement for Pasadena alone would
be unfair as well as unnecessary.
Councilman Loughery suggested COM
promise as to the fee for inspection
and for applying the tuberculin test,
fixing the latter at $3.50 for the first
COW and s1.50 for each other cow in the
herd. This compromise and other sug-
gestions made by the dairymen were
considered in executive session, but
could not be agreed upon. 1t was final
ly decided to meet again tomorrow
evening for the consideration of the
same matter.
Underwoods Depart
F. D. Underwood and family left to-
day in their private car for San Fran
cisco, where they will remain for three
days, then going on east to their home
in New York city. Mr. Underwood is
the president of the great Erie railway
system and rented the beautiful Dob
bins home on South Orange Grove av-
enue, opposite the l.. V. Hardness
property, expecting to occupy it for at
least two months. The family came
less than a month ago, bringing their
big automobile and all the parapher-
MALTA of a wealthy easterner bent on
being out of doors as much as possible
Then it began to rain and has kept
it up with but little intermission since
that time. Yesterday and today the
genuine Southern California winter
weather that the Underwoods had been
waiting for returned, but the die had
been cast and the entire family started
for home today.
Judge Lees Opinion
Judge Lee delivered his opinion today
as to the legal status of the city's
movement for municipal ownership of
it's water plants, but there is some
question as to the meaning of certain
portions of the opinion and therefore
the opinion will not Immediately be
made public. The opinion covers many
typewriter pages, but avoids mention
OF one important contention, that is
whether or not the ordinance under
which it is proposed to purchase the
water properties is legal. Those who
have read the report think that the
Los Angeles attorney has taken this
point for granted, forgetting that the
city attorney has all along claimed
that the contrary was true. 1t is re-
ported that as a whole the opinion
sustains that of Attorney Wright and
the other lawyers who have advised
the board of trade and does not agree
with the contentious of the city at
torney. Mayor Waterhouse returned
from Chicago this afternoon and i'm
mediately evinced the greatest inter-
est in the reports as to Judge Lees
opinion. 1t is not known just what eff
feet an adverse report will have on the
plans of the city administration.
Died of Peritonits
Preparations are complete for the
funeral of the late Rev. Otto Anderson
tomorrow at the First Congregational
church, of which the deceased was as
sistant pastor. The church committee
having the matter in charge announces
that the service will be public and that
interment will be in Mountain View
cemetery. The hour is 2 o'clock, and
those who will participate in the SOL
emn service will be almost exclusive
ly the associates and co-workers in
the local church. There has been much
inquiry as to whether the recent BIZ
cycle accident in which Mr. Ander-
son was slightly hurt had anything to
do with fastening the end. An
autopsy was held last night with the
hope of settling this question, and
the conclusion to which the surgeons
have come is that it had nothing to
do with it. Death was caused by per-
itonitis. following the recent opera
tion. Rev. Anderson had been slowly
failing for some time because of the
dread disease. tuberculosis, which had
securely fastened itself upon him, and
this alone would sooner or later have
caused his death.
Throop Boys in Camp
Word has been received from the
crowd of Throop boys who are in camp
in Fish canyon under the chaperonage
of Prof. Joseph Grinnell, studying
biology during the short spring vaca-
ton. The letter tells of many trying
experiences during the recent rain
storms in the mountains. One night
the rushing torrents surrounded them
leaving their tent on a. narrow island
which the waters threatened to sweep
away at any moment. The members
of the party escaped by climbing along
an old water pipe; one of the boys, Wal
ter Pittinger, the debater slipped and
fell into the water being washed a
hundred yards down the canyon before
he was rescued. 1t was a rather COM
mon occurrence to be called out of a
sound sleep during the night to help in
removing the tent further from the
growing mountain streams. The boys
plan to climb Old Baldy today, expect
Ing to reach Claremont in time for the
interscholastic field and track meet
there Saturday.
Three More Concerts
Three more outdoor band concerts re-
main in the projected series at Central
park and the friends of the concerts
are beginning to wonder what will be
done to continue them. Much of the OPP
position appears to have vanished,
probably because of their rising popu-
Iarity and the high class of music which
has been furnished by the Crown City
band With the approach of the sum-
lner season there is some talk of sub
stituting Saturday evening concerts as
given last summer for evening con-
