bile and other things were purchased.
The bill, which aggregated 1891 81,
was presented to the auditor for ap-

and decided not to pay the money, first
because he could Sc no reason why the
county should be called on to purchase
clothing for its officials, and, second,
because he could not understand why
the coroner needed an automobile, any
way.
The coroner, however, disagreed with
the auditor. He said presidents had

FORM COMPANY FOR
OPERATION. OF AIR
LINE TO PASADENA
Directors Assert That Time from Los
Angeles Will Be Cut to Twelve
Minutes-Capitaiza
Is 100000

An air line, with a twelve-minute
run, between Los Angeles and Pasa-
dena is the proposition of the Pasadena
Rapid Transit company, which filed
articles of incorporation in the office of
the county clerk yesterday.
The capitalization is placed at $3,000-
600. A quarter of a million, il is said,
has been subscribed conditionally, and
work on the new line is expected to
begin within the next few weeks. In
eighteen months, according to the state
ments of the directors, the line will be
In operation.
At the head of the company as pres
ident is George H. Hayes, president of
the Peoples Gas company, while num-
bered among the directors are w. H.
Smith, former manager of the Pacific
Electric; Don c. Porter, member of the
law firm Of Porter, Sutton & Cruik-
shank; Edward J. Sheehan, a well
known capitalist, and Horace M. Dob
bins, who, with his mother, holds the
controlling interest in the affairs of the
Peoples Gas company.
Mr.. Dobbins is said to be the moving
spirit in the new project. 1t was
through his efforts that the right of
way of the old cycle road was secured.
This reaches from Central park, Pasa-
dena, to a point mile and a half in
side the city limits Of Los Angeles.
Many Novel Features
The plan is to build an elevated road
between these points. One terminal is
to be located in the park at Pasadena
and the promoters hope to secure a To-
cation, preferably near Broadway and
Fourth street, for the Los Angeles ter
minal. In order to reach this point
from the end Of the right of way al
ready secured it is proposed to build a
subway similar to the great under
ground road in New York city.
The tracks will be standard gauge
and equipped with a third rail. The
cars will be of steel, having three doors
on each side, which will allow them
to be emptied within twenty seconds
There will be no grade crossings and
no curves.
No fares will be collected on the cars
Stations will be scattered at regular
intervals along the line, and the system
in use in Chicago and other large east
ern cities will be introduced. The dis
lance covered at present will be short
ened one mile when the new line is
completed. Instead of taking thirty
five to forty-five minutes, it is figured
by the promoters that cars on the pro
posed line will make the trip between
the two cities In twelve minutes.
