geles to the heart of Pasadena, over a
line partly subway and partly ele-
waited Plans for the new line are

viii Garry 100000 People
The new railway will be equipped so
as to carry 100000 people daily be-
tween the two cities whore the termi-
nails are located. It is believed that
the railway will mean an immense
growth i'm the population Of Pasadena
and consequent rise i'm realty values
Members of tho board of trade and Of
the Pasadena realty board, who are
taking a deep interest i'm the projected
road, declare il viii mean more for the
development of Pasadena and enVironS
than any other project eyer attempted
in that locality.
Pasadenans have not hcon asked to
aid in financing the new road AT the
meeting Thursday night it is probable
that the projectors of the line will ask
the aid of the business men in getting
certain concessions.
