PASADENA, Sept. 19.— W. E. Dunn
of the legal department of the Pacific
Electric railway company sent a letter
to the city council today concerning
the several matters of difference which
have arisen between the city and^com
pany and asked for a conference. The
city fathers agreed to the proposition
and will probably choose one week
from today. Referring to the state
ment about the $10,000 bond. given for
the construction and maintatnance of
an electric road on Orange Grove,
Chestnut and Summit avenues, Mr.
Dunn says that the money is probably
forfeited to the city if the city cares
to push the. matter.
■ But this and the other questions
wfH be conferred upon. Mr. Dunn
says: "Our differences are compara
tively unimportant."
Deputy Fined Two Dollars
Deputy Sheriff Sam L. Wallis was
fined two dollars in the police court
this forenoon for allowing his pet
coach dog to run at large in Library
park last Sunday contrary to the or
dinance. It is alleged that at the time
Patrolman Copping made the arrest he
was planning a little joke on his
brother peace officer but when Wallis
took the matter so warmiy and spoke
of taking Copplng's star away from
him the patrolman concluded to carry
the affair through. Wallis Is the sub
ject of ' much good natured raillery
abou^ the city and informed Patrolman
Copping today that he expected to find
a way of getting even.
Justices Turned Down
Some weeks ' ago Justices of the
Peace Klamroth and Congdon peti
tioned the city council for 'permission
to use the police court room in the
city hall for holding court. Today the
committee to which was referred the
petition reported adversely to the re
quest and it was accordingly denied.
City Attorney Fitzgerald rendered an
opinion that "there is no power in the
city charter or the general statutes
authorizing the city council to permit
the use of the city hall for other than
municipal purposes," and the com
mittee so reported.
