PASADENA, March 6.-At largely
attended meeting of east siders to-
night the following boundary lines
were fixed upon for the territory which
shall seek annexation to the city of
Pasadena: Beginning at the south
east corner of the present city limits
thence easterly along the north lines
of Wilson and Shorb ranches to a
point two hundred feet west of Alien
avenue; thence north to point two
hundred feet north Of Villa street;
thence west to a point two hundred feet
east of Hill avenue; thence north to
n point two hundred feet north of
Washington street; thence west to the
present east city limits; thence south
along the present easterly boundary
of the city to the point of beginning.
This is the territory recommended by
the committee appointed a week ago
to consult with the board of trade COM
1nittee, and was adopted tonight by
vote of fifty-four, with eighteen votes
against, only members of the East
Side Improvement association voting.
BY the invitation of the officers of
the association probably two hundred
property owners in the east side dis
trict were present at the meeting and
took part in the discussion. Lamanda
u
which asked to be included in the pro-
posed district as desiring to be an
neXed to Pasadena, the other urging
that they be left out as not ready for
any such action at this time. A num-
Der of ranchmen and owners of acre
age lying east of Allen avenue Vigor
ously combatted the desire of the Pas
adena Heights representative to come
into the city. Friends of the Oak Knoll
district to the south of the city en-
deavored to have that section included,
presumably as desired by the Hunting
ton interests there. But the majority
of those present appeared to think that
neither of these two outlying districts
are settled or built up enough to stand
a chance of being accepted by the city
of Pasadena, and that If the three
sections were yoked together the whole
might fail of securing the desired end.
Following the adoption of the re-
port of the committee, a number of
petitions were brought forward en-
bodying the boundaries as agreed to,
and the camapign was vigorously be-
gun for early annexation to the city
of Pasadena. 1t is understood that to-
nights action in the matter is final
and that no more time will be lost in
the discussion of details.
Busch Petitions City
The regular meeting of the city coun-
Gil today had but Two great points of
interest, the plan to open Grand ave-
nue. and the decision to ask the city for
q bond issue of 100000. Residents of
South Grand avenue have long desired
to have that thoroughfare continued
southward to connect with the highway
from Los Angeles, but to do this it was
necessary to put the street through
property belonging to Mrs. Robert J..
Burdette, Benjamin Blossom and Adolf
phuS Busch. Mrs. Burdette has long
since consented, but Blossom has stood
in the way and was supposed to have
the support of his friend and neighbor
Busch. Today the millionaire brewer
petitioned vigorously for the opening
of the street and without division the
council voted to put the street through
even though it became necessary to
condemn portions of the Blossom land
for the purpose. 1t is thought, how
ever, say Pasadenans, that Blossom will
not force the city to such a step and
will come down gracefully now that
he is convinced that the city is in
earnest. The second important matter
on which a decision was reached today
was the projected bond issue of $200,0O0.
OF this S125,000 is to go to establish a
municipal plant and the balance for
better fire protection as outlined by the
il
was but little discussion on this project,
the councilmen appearing to have made
up their minds beforehand as to the
necessity of this expenditure. One
councilman remarked that "if we are
TO have a Greater Pasadena, we must
pay for it," and the whole council
agreed.
After Three Boys
The police department is interested
in the whereabouts of three boys whose
ages run from 13 to Is years and who
have been missing from their homes in
the northeast section since about 0
o'clock last night. The oldest of the
three is Noel Smith and the other BOYS
bear the names of Hall and Smith
Noel has somewhat of a police record
an spite of his youth and is believed
to be leading the other boys into
trouble. While the unexplained alb
sence of the three boys might arouse
the police to activity the cause to-
night Is rather the fact that the three
boys are believed to have departed in
stolen rig belonging to j. H. Dough-
erty of 693 South Los Robles avenue.
When Dougherty came out of the
Christian church last night his horse
and buggy were missing. At about 10
p. m. last night the three boys were
seen driving south on Wilson avenue in
a rig answering the description given
by Mr.. Dougherty and since then have
not been discovered. Notice has been
sent to all the surrounding towns and
they are almost certain to be appre-
hended and captured tonight.
BeIlboy Arrested

toresca hotel, is under arrest tonight
charged with stealing a pair of gold
cuff links, studded with diamonds. and

cles. and every effort has been made
to detect the cause of the petty an
noyances Finally suspicion settled on
