FEBRUARY BUILDING BEST
IN PASADENA'S HISTORY
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Feb. 2S.-Over $147 ,00O
was the building permit record for the
month concluded this evening, nearly
$4,000 better than for the same month
a year ago, whereas the number of
permits taken out was very much great
er, showing that many Pasadenans are
now busy building homes for them
selves as well as business buildings.
AS matter of fact 1907 is showing
up remarkably well from the building
standpoint, and while it can hardly
surpass 1905, when many large build
ing plans, which had been in formula
tive period for years, matured, yet the
record will be very high and may run
that of 1906 a neck and neck race for
supremacy.

ADMINISTRATION
WORKS ON WATER
PASADENA COUNCIL IN LONG,
SECRET CONFERENCE
Rumor Has It That Officials Plan to
Spring a Sudden Coup in Con-
nectlon with the EIee-
ton
Pasadena Agency,
a North Raymond Avenue,

PASADENA, Feb. 2S.--Until a late
hour tonight the members of the city
council continued in executive session
to consider matters pertaining to the
water supply Of the city. In consult
tation with the council was A. X. Nc
Quilting, president of the Pasadena
Land and water company, the second
largest water company in the city and
there seems ample foundation for the
report that there Is something doing in
connection with the water question
which is n, the great local campaign
issue.
Ostensibly the conference is over the
establishment of maximum rate for
the sale of water which the companies
cannot under the law exceed. Inas-
much as the same rate has obtained
during the past six years and its an
nual establishment for some time has
been mere form, why the city
council should be spending hours con-
sidering the establishment of a rate
fixed by precedent is a mystery not
explained by the members as they fit
to and fro from the executive building.
Persistent report all day has had 1t
tndC the Administration Is gong W
spring a brand new water problem
solution in order to make itself solid
with the citizens who voted water
bonds over two years ago only to see
their cherished plans defeated when
the council rescinded all previous ac-
tion looking towards the purchase of
the plants of the local companies.
In the open meeting of the council
this evening, which came prior to the
executive session. two or three mat
ters of importance came up. One was
the acceptance of a bid of $91O for an
automobile for the use Of Superinten-
dent Glass of the new municipal cleo
trio light department. The machine Sc
lected is of the Maxwell type, for
which Councilman Braley is agent. Mr..
Braley, of course was not the bidder,
the bid being put in by the Maxwell
company itself This is the second
Maxwell machine which the city has
purchased.
Andrew Holloway was awarded the
contract for the new reservoir to be
used in connection with the municipal
electric light plant. His bid was $1875
and the next lowest bid was $2600
The committee in charge recommend
ed that Kirluff, jr. g. Co. be awarded
the contract for street arms to sup
port the arc lights, and the Miller
Electric company the contract for fur
nishing the arc lamps. No final action
was taken on either bid by the council.

JAILBIRDS OBTAIN BAIL
BY WEDDING OLD MAIDS
Special to The Herald.

HATTIESBURG, Miss, Feb. 2S.-
Married for freedom" or melodrama
taken from the life of Will and Bud
Saunders, who are now in Jail here with
numerous charges docketed against
them, should prove a profound stage
success.
While in Jail at New Augusta several
days ago in default of $500 bonds the
two Saunders brothers sent for two old
maids, who were sisters, and an agree
ment was made whereby the Saunders
brothers married the two sister spin
sters in order that the women would
go on their bonds.
The marriage pact was carried out at
once in the corridor of the Jail. No
sooner were they free than the two
bridegrooms fled, but the fugitives were
apprehended at Ellisville. After being
taken back to New Augusta Will Saun-
ders got into trouble by intimidating
a witness and must serve thirty days

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Feb. 2S.-Members of
the streets and alleys committee of the
city council and officials of the South
ern Pacific, Salt Lake and Santa Fe
railways took up the matter of gates for
dangerous crossings. 1t is probable
that as the outgrowth of this confer
ence a compromise measure will be
agreed upon which will eliminate some
of the harsh requirements of the ordi-
nance introduced in the council some
days ago.
1t Is probable that trains will be al
lowed to cross certain streets If a train
flagman is sent out ahead. This will
eliminate one of the features of which
the railroads complained, that of hay
ing to maintain so many flagmen at
crossings all the time.

NOTES OF NEWS FROM
Pasadena AND ENVIRONS
Special to The Herald.

PASADENA, Feb. 2s.-Something
very like dismay sat upon the features
of Deputy City Clerk G. P. Gregory
this morning when the list of names of
those he suggested as officials for the
coming city election was sent back to
him. The mayor and members of the
city council had scratched fully third,
If not a half, of the names. Just what
the reason was is not apparent, but
as two of the council are running to
succeed themselves they undoubtedly
know what they are doing.
The Socialists have named full city
ticket and this ends the last hope of
some of the Waterhouse supporters
that the Socialists would indorse the
administration by refusing to place a
ticket in the field. AS head of the
Socialist ticket j. J. Hicks has been
named. With him will run A. Som
mers for council from the First ward;
j. e. Collier, council from the Fifth
ward, and Thomas B. Kouts, council
man-at-large.
During an address to the mothers of

number were i'll from this treatment,

children had been dispatched to school
with only a cup of coffee as a starter
