COMMITTEE PLANNING
FOR TRI-CITY MERCER
Pasadena, South Pasadena and
AIhambra May Be Made
One Municipality

PASADENA, May S.-The PROPOSE
ton of consolidating Alhambra, South
Pasadena and Pasadena was advanced
several degrees yesterday afternoon at
a meeting of the subcommittee of the
Joint committee from the boards or
trade of the three cities, when 1t was
brought out that the sentiment in Los
Angeles is apparently against taking
either South Pasadena or Alhambra
into Greater Los Angeles, and that the
ONLY question remaining is whether
the three cities desire to unite.
Walter Raymond, chairman of the
South Pasadena committee, reported
that he had personally interviewed
number of leading citizens of the
Angel city, and that without exception
thew state dpositively that it will be
a number of years before the Los An
geles voters would even consider re-
motely the proposition Of acquiring
more territory to the east of their pres
ent city limits.
WANTS OWENS RIVER WATER
The significance Of this report was
explained ny the statement that soIti-
ment in South Pasadena has hereto
fore been in favor of annexation to
Los Angeles for advantages that would
accrue from Owens river water and
sewer. system. Now that those chances
seem far removed, it is thought that
South Pasadena will look to Pasadena
to supply these necessities, as well as
municipal lighting.
Judge w. M Northrup, chairman of
the Alhambra committee, reported that
Alhambrans want to "be shown" the
advantage of consolidation. He re-
ouested a CODY of the city charter of
Pasadena and other documents to show
to his constituents.
BIG MEETING
w. w. Ogier, chairman Of the Pasa-
dena committee and also head of the
Joint committee, plans to have Manager
Koiner of the city light plant and other
city officials present at the joint meet
ing Tuesday night to furnish statistical
information regarding the finances and
other matters pertaining to the gov
ernment of Pasadena. Tt was pointed
out that the Grander Pasadena after
consolidation would have an assessed
valuation of over $50,000,0
Preceding the subcommittee meeting
a tour of inspection was made through
Alhambra and South Pasadena by the
committee, accompanied by II. c. Ho-
taling. A: L. Chamberlain and T. D.
Allin. former engineer for the three
cities concerned, and it was ascer-
tanned that fully rs per cent of the ter
ritorv and 98 per cent of the population
can be supplied with sewers and water.
Joseph Israel chairman of the boost
ing committee of the Merchants asso-
citation, is gathering data as to the
purcha Sc of water from the Arrowhead
Reservoir company's anticipated supply
in the Little Bear valley, north of San
Rernardino.

SAN BERNARDIN0 MAKES
READY FOR CELEBRATION
Members of Indian Princess and
Spanish Governors Courts
Are Busy with Drills

SAN BERNARDINO, May with
little more than a week before the
opening Of the San Bernardino Valley
centennial, to be held May 1921, the

the final details for the celebration,
and workmen will be engaged in dress
ing the city in it's gala attire from

nearing completion. Electricians are
stringing the wires for the elaborate
electrical display that is to form part
of the decoration scheme.
The members Of the Indian princess
and Spanish governors courts are
nightly drilling in the fancy dances and
receiving instructions The Native
Sons and Daughters will give May
pole dance and are drilling for that
feature.
MONKS CHORUS
The monks chorus of forty male
voices is being organized and trained
by Don Jose Rodriguez. The members
of the chorus will be garbed in the
ancient dress Of the Franciscan mis-
sionaries. One of the features to be
worked into the allegorical pictures on
the princess throne will be the re-
discovery of the valley by the monks,
led by Padre Dumetz, the missionary
who 100 years ago drew up his caYal-
cade and established his camp upon
the present site of the city. A cowboy
chorus will portray the early days of
the Spanish and American settlers who
followed the missionaries.
The financial success of the celebra-
tion Is already assured, the entire
