ing the Coming
Summer
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, March 2S.--It is
now a practical certainty that the new
Katz block at Third and 70 streets, in
the heart of the business district, will
be built this summer, as the estate has
determined to go on with the work.
Plans are now being prepared, but it
has not yet been fully decided whether
1t will be three or four stories In height,
though the walls will be made heavy
enough for four stories.
At least one or two other blocks are
in contemplation. There is not vacant
store room of any sort to be had in the
city, which makes the need for more
buildings urgent.
A sixty-room apartment building, ar
ranged with three-room flats. is also to
be erected by w. e. Leonard. One or
two other fat buildings are also being
projected, one by f. B. Daley.
The Business college will also soon
commence work on a new building to
cost about 5,000 Altogether the build
ing outlook for the city was never bet
ter than at this time.

Thriving Suburb

The Good Government party in South
Pasadena held big rally last night.
Every mother In town was reached by
telephone or personal call during the
day and personally invited to attend
the meeting, hence the audience took on
different character from the average
political meetings.
The pool room and saloon issues have
been injected into the local election in
South Pasadena because Hotel Ray
mond and Hotel Capitola are both
within the limits of the city. Recently
pool room was started in the old city
hall block, and an appeal by the pro-
prietor to operate the place is pending,
the lower court having decided adj
versely to the owner
Some of the voters favor applying the
same rules to the large and small ho-
tells in South Pasadena, while the
church element opposes permitting any
drink or pool features to get foothold
in the city.
Last nights meeting was held in the
interest of Messrs. Charles Taylor and
Jonathan Dodge, candidates for city
trustees, and w. Cox, for city clerk.
Between now and election day the
campaign will be an active one in South
Pasadena.
