Special to The Herald
PASADENA, Sept. differentiation
between the two factions of the Lincoln
Avenue Improvement association, which
have been holding separate meetings
for the last two months, is apparently
about to be effected.
At the meeting of the southern branch
last night a delegation of northern
members came in and the meeting was
at once turned into love feast.
At the close the presidents of the two
sections, William Easterbrook and
Joseph McKibben, were appointed mem
bers of committee, together with F.
r. Schanck, A. j. Toolen and E. L.
Sherman, to consider ways and means
of reuniting.
The split in the first place occurred
after a trif1ing dissension as to the
place of meeting. Since the proposed
Lincoln avenue car line is on the way
to become reality, both sides feel the
need of pulling together.
