CHICKEN QUESTION IS
SETTLED IN PASADENA
Committee Reports Chandeliers
Have Equal Rights with
other Citizens

PASADENA, Oct. 1.-THE city coun-
Gil Yesterday was asked to straighten
out a real estate tangle between j.
H. Woodworth & Sons and w. w.
Ogier of tht Citizens Realty company.
The former desires to open tract
north of Mountain street between
Chester and Hill avenues and asked
permission to make jog in the ex-
tension of the avenues named. Ogler
protested on the ground that the ave-
nues should run on straight line as
a matter of civic pride. The two-hour
debate ended by both firms Offering TO
take the council members on JOY
ride to the disputed territory this
afternoon and the council accepted.
The council was called to referee a
clash between the city's legal DEPART
ment and the city auditor over the al
lowing of a demand for a notary s
seal and commission for Mrs OlVe
McGinnis, stenographer to the legal
department. Assistant City Attorney
Carr won the day on the argument
that the new arrangement will save
much travel to outside offices for no
tary service and at the same time save
money for the city through the tact
that the newly commissioned notary
will do all work in that line for the
city without extra compensation.

time. The matter was taken under
advisement with sentiment apparently
in favor of letting the complainants
off easy.
BOOSTERS CAN GROW
An effort to revive the Chicken
question:" which some months ago mad
the whole town arguing as to whether
Growing roosters should be deported'
was quashed yesterday by the accept
ance with thanks of the report or the
sanitary committee on the protest OF
Mary S. Fry and others against NOISY
fowls in Evanston place. The report
said: eve are sorry, but know OF no
relief, as this committee has already
gone into disgrace on the chicken
subject. having had it demonstrated
by an enormous petition that chickens
have equal rights with other citizens,
Another sanitary question with which
the council will have to wrestle through
its legal department is the petition
from the Pasadena board of labor rep
resenting several hundred members OF
organized labor in this city, who de-
clare that they "advise, urge and insist
If necessary that steps be taken TO

After being ordered filed by Mayor Ear
lev. the petition was taken up and or
dered referred to the assistant city at
torney for action, upon motion Of Coun-
Gilman Barnes, seconded by Councilman

IT. w. Mather, on behalf of the Mer-
chants association, protested against
the proposed lowering of license fees
for peddlers of 1ewelry notions ana
other articles, and the matter was laid
over for investigation.
In line with the recently announced
policy of the city council to deny extern
sions of time to contractors on street
work without substantial reasons being
advanced, several requests were denied
Yesterday and referred back to the peu-
TONERS.
The fire and water committee was in
structed to investigate the matter or
making fire hydrant connections with
the private water main laid some time
ago in Raymond avenue by Walter
Raymond to supply the hostelry on the
hill. It was argued that Raymond mad
no right to use the street IL the clty
cannot use the main.
A lengthy ordinance was placed on
first reading establishing the line or
Arroyo drive from Linda Vista avenue
to the south city limits. The matter
has been held up for several years.
owing to protests from numerous prop
erty owners, and after many confer
ences it is thought the question is no"
settled and the city can proceed TO I'M
prove the thoroughfare, which when
Completed will provide one of the finest
scenic drives in Southern California
The drive will skirt the Arroyo Seco
and run between the Busch gardens
and the arroyo.
