June VIII See Only $500 Left to
Complete Crown City Light Plant
and Drastic Steps Are
Necessary
Pasadena Agency,
II North Raymond Avenue,
Phones: Sunset 1907, Home 2l24.


PASADENA, May 24-It is reliably
stated that the city administration is now
sounding public sentiment to see what
chance there is of getting the people to
vote additional bonds to either complete
the municipal electric light plant as at
present planned or enlarge it as Supeerin-
tendent Glass recommends. Ii something
is not done within a short time work Will
absolutely cease, for on June l II is re
liably stated that but $500 will remain IN
the municipal electric fund. Such sum
would not last a single month at the rate
constructive work is now being done.
1t will take $4,000 to complete the plant
as at present planned on the 800 -klloWatt
basis. Glass recommends a plant OF 1OOO
kilowatts, which would just equal that Of
the Edison company. To build such d
plant would probably cost from $4,000 the
lowest estimate, to S150,0OO, and the ques-
ton is will the people stand for Such an
additional bond issue.
Some of the most closely interested men
say tonight that they fear the people VIII
not even vote $23, 900 in bonds to complete
the present plant. let alone $4,000 or any
other very great sum. Without the $4,000
work must stop with about $175,00O already
invested and no chance to even light the
streets.
This is the condition which now con-
fronts Mayor Farley. In office only since
May 6. One of his strongest campaign
arguments was against the direct tax FOR
the municipal electric, plant imposed by
former Mayor Waterhouse, and so, of
course, he could hardly resort to like
expedient to help the city out of its diff
ficulty.
Mayor Farley has admitted to a Herald
reporter that he does not yet know quite
what he is to do with the seeming white
elephant which he has inherited from the
past administration. A bond issue seems
the only way out, and the question of
securing a two-thirds majority is very
serious one.

EXCITED PHONER FoRGETS
NUMBER; AUTO DESTROYED
Special to The Herald.

special 10 Inc Aeralu
PASADENA, May 24.-Because the one
entrusted with the task of notifying the
fire department last night that an auto
shed at 104S Morton avenue was on fire
forgot to tell the street number, the de,
partment did not know where to go, and
auto, shed and all burned up, with loss
of over $1,000. The machine belonged to
Fred Fisher, and the fire is supposed to
have originated from a torch which either
exploded or ignited the gasoline tank.
Morton avenue is miles long, and to
simply say that a shed on Morton avenue
was on fire conveyed as much informa-
ton as to the exact location as to say
that there was a fire in New York CITY,
The department waited for a second mes
sage stating where the fire really was
hut no second message came and no
knowledge of the location. nature and loss
from flames was discovered by the local
fire fighters until lnis evening.
Mr.. Fisher had left a torch burning in
the shed where he had been repairing
tire. while he went into the house. When
he came out it was to discover that his
auto shed was a mass of flames. All ef-
forts to check the fire with the ordinary
facilities about the house proved useless,
the gasoline simply feeding the fire. Both
auto and building are total losses.
