PASADENA, July 24.-Another echo
of the Edison company's injunction suit
against the city was heard in the meet
ing of the city council today when
Hunsaker e Britt, the Los Angeles
lawyers engaged to assist City Attor-
ney Wood In looking after the case,
sent in their bill for $3.50. bill which
the city fathers paid without a mur-
muir.
The committee appointed week ago
at the urgent request of the Edison
people to endeavor to settle the street
lighting bill offered by the Edison COM
pany, was not ready to report progress
today and the entire matter went over
for another week.
Aside from the passing of numerous
resolutions ordering street work, most
of the councils time was taken up by
the fruit dryer discussion.
e. w. Giddings. who has been a
prominent citizen of Pasadena for thir-
ty-two years, made a strenuous effort
to drive the North Fair Oaks avenue
fruit dryer out of the city as nuisance
and as inimical to health.
1t appears that the fruit dryer in
question, the only one in the city, is
within two hundred feet of the Gid
dings house, and according to testi-
mony today there is a constant wave Of
sulphur fumes sweeping over the house
while the dryer is in operation. These
fumes two doctors certified as being
extremely injurious to the health of
those troubled at all with catarrh,
throat or lung complaints.
Mr.. Giddngs told how he had labored
TO get North Pasadena annexed to the
city in the hope that then he could get
rid Of the dryer and stated that either
the dryer must go or he must move
out Of the neighborhood, abandoning
his home.
having endeavored to effect a compro-
mise but failed in every instance.
The discussion ended by the refer
erce Of the matter to the city attor-
ney for the drawing up of an ordinance
5anishing fruit dryers from the city
and asking the board of health to look
after the Immediate protection Of Mr..
Giddings and the other objecting neigh
bors.
The Salt Lake railroad company
asked for rebate on the tax paid the
city on certain strips of land along
it's right Of way, asserting that it has
already paid the state taxes on this
same property and that it should not
be required to pay a double tax.
The company paid the tax demanded
by the city under protest, and hopes TO
get il hack possibly IN the courts with
a us.st case
