CHARGES A DEAL
CLAIMED THAT CITY WILL USE
HOME PHONE POLES
Edison People say That TeIephone
Company Was Allowed to Keep
Wires Underground In
Exchange
Pasadena Agency.
16H East Colorad do street,
Telephone Main 752.

PASADENA, Oct 17.--Officials Of the
Edison Electric company are openly
inslnuatlng that deal has been made
between the Home Telephone company
of Pasadena and the city admlnistra-
tion. through which the city Is to be
allowed to use the Home company
poles upon which to string the wires
of It's municipal electric system. This
charge will cause a decided sensation
In Pasad ena, for It has been claimed
from the start that the city could never
construct an electric light system and
pua up uoles for the amount of money
on hand. only about $65,0OO
If this charge is substantiated 1t will
Indicate how the city proposes to build
such a plant for so small an amount of
money.
It is also charged by the Edison peo-
ple that in return for the use of its
poles the city administration did not
compel the Home company to put It's
wires under ground on Fair Oaks av-
enue.
Some weeks ago the city council de-
cided to order all wires under ground
before Fair oaks avenue was paved
with asphalt. Among other companies
affected by the order was the Home
Telephone company. This company
claimed that 1t had but recently put in
new line along that avenue, and to
now put it's wires under ground would
cost at least $4,000. For this reason
the company asked that an exception
be made in its case.
The public did not believe that the
council would make an exception in
favor of the Home Telephone company,
it is ated, and there was considerable
surprise when the city fathers changed
their minds and eliminated the Home
from the order.
Some of the Edison people now
charge making their charge rather in
the form. of an insinuation than a di-
rect accusation, that deal has been
made by the Home company and the
city, whereby the city is to be allowed
to use the company's poles In exchange
for the favor of allowing the wires to
remain above ground.

ing the bluff along the ocean front
will be considered and final action
probab bly, taken. The Improvements as
proposed will extend from Golden ave-

1t is generally thought that this i'm

citizens owning adjoining property
have taken up plans to beautify a
portion of the bluff but the city trus-
