PASADENA, Aug. lone of the
final things done by the board of trade
last night at its successful open meet
ing was the appointment of a COM
mittee to confer with the Pacific Elec-
trfc people relative to the street car
service between this city and South
Pasadena.
Secretary Coolidge brought UP the
matter and those present were unani-
nous in asking for better service be-
tween the two places "before the South
Pasadena people get in the habit OF
going to Los Angeles instead of to
Pasadena to do their trading" as one
business man phrased 1t.
The officers and directors OF the
Pasadena board of trade were this
morning made the committee to solicit
money for the projected boulevard be-
tween this city and Los Angeles. II
was decided to raise the sum of $35OO
if possible today. At p. m. two
thirds of this amount had been easily
raised, and before the day closed prac-
tically every cent of the desired amount
was pledged.
The ready response shows how deeply
interested the people of Pasadena are
in the boulevard as finally planned.
The illness of Councilman Thomas j.
Ashby prevented his being present last
night at the board of trade netting and
prevented public statement of the
latest plans made by the Arroyo Seco
park commission, of which Mr. AShby
is president. Unless unforeseen obsta-
cles arise, efforts are likely to be made
to form a Los Angeles county park
district, then to issue bonds for the
construction of boulevards and for the
purchase and establishment of public
parks.
Such n n1nn has XNOrlkn6 gnppncSfII1IV
in the state of New Jersey, one great
park district there having expended
fully $60G0000 in the manner Indicated
Mr.. Ashby proposes to have the citi-
zens purchase by subscription some
part of the Arroyo Seco Then with
this as nucleus a system of boule-
wards and parks all over the district
could be constructed until Los Angeles
county would stand unrivaled for its
magnificent public parks and wonderful
roadways leading from one to another.
1t is believed that such a proceeding
would prove marvellous attraction
to the thousands of tourists who visit
this section every winter
