COMPROMISE WITH EDISON COMPANY
MAY Be RESULT OF MASS MEETING
Suggestion of Mayor Alexander That Pasadena Purchase Lighting
Wholesale from Corporation Looked on Solution or Problem
Los Angeles and Crown City Should Cooperate in Fight

PASADENA, June 26.-To all ap-
pearances the mass meeting of citizens
held last night ostensibly to war to
the death" with the Edison company,
will result in a compromise between
the city and the light corporation.
Following the speech of Mayor Alex
ander of Los Angeles in the meeting
last night, in which he stated he was
prepared to indorse any plan by which
the lighting war in Pasadena could be
settled equitably, William r. Staats,
vice president of the Edison company,
gave out the following statement:
THE mayor of Los Angeles states he
is desirous OF reaching an equitable
settlement of the present light war and
suggests that the municipality should
be willing to purchase power OF the
Edison company at wholesale.
I'VE are perfectly willing to settle
the light war If the city desires to do
so on a fair and equitable basis. Whole
saleing of power is always adVan-
tageous, but the removal of poles and
the tearing out of distributing system
is costly
IF Mayor Farley desires to effect
a settlement he will find us ready for
the meeting"
Just what bearing this will have on
the permanent organization which was
formed last night to assure the per-
manency and success of the municipal
plant" and ito oppose the election or
appointment to municipal Office of men
whose affiliations or disposition are
such as are inimical to the municipal
lighting enterprise" is problematical.
TO judge by the vehemence shown by
a number of leaders at the meeting
they will have to be shown.
OFFICERS ARE ELECTED
The bylaws for the permanent or
ganization, to be known as the Pas
adena Municipal Light League" were
adopted unanimously. Officers were
elected as follows: DR.. George Abbott,
president; E. M. Wright, E. II. May
and Ezra f. Scattergood, vice presi-
dents in the order named; TORY Ever
ett, secretary treasurer. The executive
committee is as follows: Joseph Israel,
Frank May, DR.. Solon Briggs, Garfield
r. Jones, j. H. Kreitler, James Me-
Adam and William Thum.
The above officers were elected unan-
imously after having been nominated
by a committee appointed to make
nominations, and composed of p. w.
Cartwright, Frank d. Turner, Robert
S. Allen, S. w. Pyle and Willis Morri-
son.
The term of office is for one year
and until successors are elected and
qualified. Vacancies will be filed by
the executive committee. The execu-
tive committee Is made up of one
member from each ward and one at
large. Regular meetings of the league
will be held on the first Saturday even
ing of July, October, December and
March of each year. Special meetings
may be called by the president or on
petition of twenty-five members.

ronize 1t we will go before the. world
as O failure" He advocated the pur
chase of power from the Edison COM
pany by the wholesale and the retail
ing of the same power to citizens, and
said he would be willing to put that
question up to the citizens right now,
suggesting that this procedure would
do away with the present competition.
"And later on" he said, Los Angeles
can furnish us power at one-half what
1t would cost to produce it and still
we could sell at 100 per cent profit. We
are not in for blood, but in for busi-
ness, If we can't deal on that basis
then it will be survival Of the fttest."
Among other speakers were Ezra
Scattergood, George Wharton James
and Frank Turner.
