Twenty-four hours notice and the OBJ
ject of the special meeting must be
given in the call.
Membership in the league is open to
"all residents of Pasadena whose in
tention is to support the purposes of
the league" which are, in brief, to
work for the success of the municipal
light plant at all times.
The meeting last night was marked
in it's apparent opposition to corpora
tions. Mayor Farley presided, he hav-
ing just returned from a two weeks
vacation in the north. Mayor AleXan-
der of Los Angeles was the first speak
err He said in part as follows:
MAYOR ALEXANDER SPEAKS
1.-THE question of electric lighting is a
large question, at the present time
larger than most people are aware Of
1t is a question of whether the people
or the corporations shall rule. / nave
heard the corporation cry of being
ruined so much that l don't take any
stock in 1t. They have two different
sets of valuations to their property, ac-
cording to whether they want to buy
or sell. In a conference with the light
ing companies two weeks ago they ad-
mitted that they had lied to the Los
Angeles city officials.
The question of what they can afford
to furnish light for is an open ques-
ton and depends on the cost of genera
tion, whether by water or steam, but
we have 1t on good authority that they
can sell at less than cents and make
good profit.
"They tell us in Los Angeles that
they are losing money in Pasadena, but
they continue to give premiums and
trading stamps with a 5 cent rate.
The fight is on. Pasadena will do her
share. Your fight is also the fight OF
all Southern California. Be careful
who you send to the legislature next
fall. The corporations will try to pass
laws to compel municipalities to buy
out their plants when city plants are
started. Your fight is a speck when
compared with what ours will be In.
Los Angeles when the aqueduct power
comes"
URGES CITIZENS TO ACT
Continuing Mayor Alexander recited
how the companies offered to compro-
mise when they saw Los Angeles
meant business, and gave a history of
the present referendum. He called at
tention to the results of a quiet cleo
ton on the part of citizens when the
corporations win and urged his hearers
to a lively campaign in the future, ana
as a climax he suggested that Pasa-
dena citizens work among their ac-
uuaintances in Los Angeles urging
them to vote with good government
and that Los Angeles citizens should
work among their friends in Pasadena
and urge them to support their city
plant. ,
Mayor Farley in his speech said: Tine
municipal plant rs not the city plant
it is YOUR plant. If you don't pat
