PASADENA WANTS
MORE TERRITORY
SEEKS TO ANNEX SOUTH PASA-
DENA
Grown City Council Meets in Extra
Session and Passes Resolutions
for Consolidation of the
Two Cities
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Nov. 29.-The first
formal steps looking toward the con-
solidation of Pasadena and South Pas
adena was taken tonight when in eX-
traordinary session and by unanimous
vote the executive heads of the city
adopted a resolution setting forth that
Pasadena, through it's city council,
favors the consolidation of the two
cities either under one city govern
ment or else on the water supply prop
osition.
The move is the most important and
significant one taken by the present
administration since it assumed office.
1t is of even greater Importance to
the Crown City residents than the
abandonment of the former plan for a
municipal water system or the inaug-
lration of q plan for an electric light
plant to be owned by the city.
The resolution adopted is addressed
to the president and members of the
board of trustees of South Pasadena
and recites the Willingness of Pasa-
dena to enter into negotiations with
that city for some sort of consolida-
tion. intimating that a practical an
nexation of South Pasadena to Pasa-
dena would be the most feasible and
popular here.
This newest move for consolidation
of the two cities had its inception
Tuesday night al the mass meeting
called in the South Pasadena city hall
to consider ways and means of Sc
curing an adequate water supply for
that city. 1t had been thought up to
that time that the strongest men of
the community were against such a
plan, but when C. d. Daggett, who
resides In sSouth Pasadena and has
an office in Pasadena, brought UP the
question of consolidation and spoke in
favor of a merger of the two cities,
to the surprise of nearly all he re-
ceived the support of many of those
present at the meeting.
Men who a few weeks ago We're ap-
parently bitterly opposed to SUCH a
plan spoke in favor of the scheme, and
the only reason, apparently, why the
meeting did not adopt a resolution
favoring consolidation of the cities
was a feeling on the part Of some that
Pasadena would not care for such a
combination.
When Mayor Waterhouse and City
Attorney Wood of Pasadena heard that
there was some doubt on the south
side about the desires of Pasadena in
the matter they Immediately set about
to call an extraordinary meeting of
the Pasadena city council.
This meeting of the city council took
place this evening and the only bust
ness transacted was the adoption of
the resolution already given. All of
the seven members of the body were
in their places and Councilman Towel,
recently appointed by the mayor, was
the introducer of the resolution for
which all voted
Just as soon as the resolution, which
was drawn up by City Attorney Wood,
had been adopted, copies were rushed
through the certification process and
already copy is on the way to South
Pasadena. Just what steps will fol-
low time al, ne can tell, but the reso-
luton will undoubtedly bring the con-
solidatiop question to an immediate
likely to be called within the next few
weeks.
