PASADENA, Mach l.. Pasadena
landlords and tenants in certain busi-
ness sections of the city are at logger
heads over the attempt on the part of
certain property owners to Introduce
the long-term leasing system.
Where few years ago 1t was irnpos-
sihle for a tenant occupying q desir-
able location to secure assurance that
lie would not be disturbed or suffer an
increase in rent, conditions now are so
changed that several landlords say
their tenants must take out a lease or
Mt least three years at the same high
rental that has been In vogue since the
extra demand for business locations,
now declining to q certain extent
One particular firm which handles
several blocks of choice locations for
business has heretofore steadily refused
tenants security from being deprived
Of their business rooms in case some
ono came along and overbid them on
the rent.
A number of these firms have occu-
pied the same premises for several
years and they have had to comply with
several raises In rent or else seek other
locations During the month of Feb
ruary this same firm sent notice to
its customers that they are expected
To Dina I0eIIlSelNeS 10 pay Tic SeiifS
rent for n period of three years, the
lease being subject to change by che
landlord.
This is regarded as unreasonable by
some tenants and IL Is likely that IL the
ruling is enforced on April there will
be q general removal of business firms
from that locality.
Rental property in Pasadena is al
ways In demand and yet there is con.
slant cry from business men that the
rents are too high. In defense of their
action realty men say that on account
of the heavy taxes 1t is necessary to
keep rentals where they now are and
to insure the income from the build
ings leases for moro than one or two
years are necessary.
The new realty board, aided by a
committee, has hopes of securing a
general reduction in the tax valuations
through conferences with the city Off
cials, and If such action is brought
about it is probable the rent question
will be more equitably adjusted.

RIVERSIDE HAPPENINGS

Special to The Herald
RIVERSIDE, March Negotiations
are under way for the leasing of the old
home of the Country club by Company
NJ, N. G. c., for arnory purposes. The
building is adapted to armory pur-
poses and few alterations will be neces-
sary. The old quarters have for a long
time been entirely inadequate and UNI
satisfactory.
The committee named by Mayor S. c.
Evans to make plans for the observ-
ance of Memorial day, May 80, has or
ganized by choosing Col. Plimpton
chairman, Capt. A. S. Milice vice chair
man and w. T. Thompson secretary.
DR.. j. l.. Pitner has been selected as
orator of the day. Subcommittee
have been named for carrying out the
various features of the celebration.
Owing to the rapid growth of the or
ganization the Grace Methodist church
is making plans to erect a $500 addi-
ton to the church building. The
church is making rapid progress and
the need of more room has made itself
felt for some time.
The San Bernardino and Riverside
counties Christian Endeavor organiza-
tons will hold a rally in the First
Christian church of this city Tuesday
evening. The meeting is intended as a
forerunner of the Riverside county con-
vention, to be held at San Jacinto
