DISCUSSES QUESTION
Cites Case of Long Beach as Show

rap.oIal 70 rhs Herald.l


PASADENA, March 24.-Declaring
that the proposed bonding of the city
for a million dollars to purchase the
plants of the different water companies
would result only in the enrichment OF
their stockholders, ex-Mayor William
Waterhouse this evening started his
discussion of the water question, which
is to be one of the main issues OF the
campaign. The meeting was held IN
Woodmans hall and was attended by
q large audience of enthusiastic citi-
zens, who loudly applauded the points
brought out by the former mayor.
Answering the contention made IN
the letter of Mayor Farley that only
experts could determine the value of
such plants as those of the water COM
panies, Mr.. Waterhouse cited the case
OF Long Beach and its water company,
where, after experts had fixed the value
of the plant at s815,00v and bond issue
for that amount had been defeated by
the people, the same water company
the day after the election offered its
plant for sale at about one-half the
former price, $497, 900. He declared the
plants of the water companies in Pasa-
dena would be bought at reasonable
margin of profit to the seller of $50000O
was paid for them.
The counciImen of the Waterhousc
ticket also talked water, pledging them
selves to stand for municipal plant at
a reasonable price.
Following in the line of the Water
house campaign the Farley party Will
begin its series of meetings In the north
end of the city The first will be held
Monday night, March 49, in the vacant
building at 1887 North Fair Oaks ave-
nue.. Mayor Farley and Frank s. Wal
lace will be the principal speakers, and
some of the councilmen of the Farley
ticket will also present their views.

CITIZENS OBJECT TO
LIGHTING CONTRACT
MEN OF SOUTH PASADENA
WILL PROTEST
Assert That by Provisions of Compact
City viii BE Tied Down to
Pacific Light and Power
Company
Especial to The Herald.l

SOUTH PASADENA, March "a
Charging that the city of South Pasa-
dena will be tied down to the Pacific
Light and Power company for term
of five years, citizens will appear at the
next meeting of the board of trustees
and enter formal protest against the
signing of a contract authorized by an
ordinance passed March /.
= For several months past there has
been q growing feeling against the
company on account OF the price 1t
charges for the installation of an cleo
trio lighting system in private houses.
1t requires that the citizen installing
the light pay for all poles erected and
all other Dsts of installation. The
objecters further claim that prices are
not reasonable. The ordinance to which
they take exception is one by virtue of
which the city agrees to enter into a
contract fer five years with the COM
pany, during which time the latter viii
have the exclusive right to light the
streets Of the city, subject to FORFEITURE
only In case It fails % deliver the lights
for a period of thirty days. For this
service, over one circuit Of ten arc
lights and nine circuits of incandescent
light, the city is to pay at the rate OF
I cents a k.lowatt hour. with mini
mum of SIS q circuit. or $3.50 a month In
ALL 1t also provides-and 1t Is this pro-
VISION WHICH LliS DIOtN6t<SASo lCOa 40 sAAS
joker-that the company shall not FUR
nish lights in places where 1t has no
poles. nor shall 1t be required by the
city to erect poles.
This last provision puts the people at
the mercy of the company, it Is assert
ed, for private owners and small con-
sumers can scarcely anticipate better
treatment than is accorded the city.
Therefore, they declare, the city in
signing the contract virtually will tie
up the city of South Pasadena to the
Pacific Light and Power company for
a period of five years.
That suspicious have been enter
tanned regarding the ACCESSIBILITY of en-
tering into this contract is apparent
from the fact that although the ordi-
nance authorizing 1t was passed March
/, 1t has not yet been signed. Rumors
to the effect that 1t was to be taken up
again at the next meeting have been
current during the week, and those who
want it quashed are trying to get all
the opponents of the contract to attend
the next meeting, Monday evening.
They are planning to have the munich
pal lighting done by the Pasadena plant
when the improvements and additions
are made, or, in case that cannot be
done, to build municipal plant of their
own.
