EXPERT EXPECTED TO
ARRIVE TOMORROW
Breclal to The Herald:
PASADENA, Sept. 23.— Prof. C. L. Cory
of Berkeley Is due to arrive In Pasadena
Wednesday morning and will look over
the ground and begin his work at once in
reviewing the reports of Superintendent
Glass and Expert Scattergood.
It Is believed that two or three days will
suffice for the work, and a special session
of the council may be called to hear his
report. As he stands high in the esteem
of both sides his findings will no doubt be
final and action taken by the council.
Mayor Earley said today that as the dif
ference- in the estimated cost of produc
tion was only two-tenths of a cent per
kilowatt was not worth consider
ing, and that, the principal difference in
the reports regarding the better method
of installation and the size of the wire to
be used was what Prof. Cory would de
cide upon.
He said that the reasoning advanced by
either Mr. Glass or Mr. Scattergood
seemed so plausible and convincing as
they explained them that it was impos
sible for the council or himself to make
any decision, and that the help of a dis
interested third party of unquestionable
ability and fairness was necessary to an
understanding.
MAY ASK COURTS
TO DELAY PAVING
Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Sept. 23.-The nature of
the petition filed by the Los Robles prop
erty owners was made public today. It is
a request for delay In the laying of all
sewer gas and water pipes.
There Is also a fear expressed in the
petition that besides paying for the value
of bitulithlc pavement they may be forced
to pay a royalty to the patentees, and
they say that they are informed that as
good a pavement of a similar nature can
be put down for less money.
The petitioners also intimate that unless
the council protects them in the matter
that they will resort to the courts. Buch
a proceeding has been predicted by those
favoring bitulithlc as an almost certain
step that would be somehow accomplished
by the Barber asphalt people.
In the specifications of the work an
addenda in red Ink calls attention of tho
bidders to the fact that the patentoes of
the bitulithlc will license any contractor
who gets the Job, and they also have fur
nished bond to Insure their furnishing the
material at their stated mbrket price.
PASADENA COUNCIL IS
TO FIX TELEPHONE TAX
Special to The Hnrald.
PASADENA, Sept. 23.— Tomorrow prom
ises to be a full and busy day for the
city council as, besides routine matters,
the ordinance relative to the telephone
pole tax comes .up for second reading,
the proposed garbage incinerator will
probably receive some consideration and
the matter of a double track franchise
for the Pacific Electric is due. as tomor
row is the last day for receiving bids.
The rate of the pole tfx, it Is thought,
will be changed from $3 to Jl, as the
higher rate might furnish a good excuse
for raising the rate of telephone rentals.
Those who profess to know say that
the Pacific Electric will bid for the fran
chise and if they do the council will
doubtless accept the bid if it reaches the
amount set as the minimum price ac
ceptable.

RESIGNS PASTORATE TO
TRAVEL FOR PUBLISHER.
Rev. E. W. Thornton of First Christian
Church, Long Beach, Will Preach
His Last Sermon Next
Sunday
Long Beack Office,
23 Locust avenue.
Pkone— Home 360.
LONG BEACH, Sept. 23.— After eighteen
years of successful ministry, the Rev. E.
W. Thornton, pastor of the First Chris
tian church, prominent in church and
educational circles throughout Southern
California, will resign his pastorate Oc
tober 1 to enter the field of Sunday school
work. -He will travel for the Standard
Publishing company of Cincinnati.
Dr: Thornton's announcement that he
wished to retire caused not a little sur
prise. Although he had considered the
matter for several months, few knew of
his plans. The trustees of the church
acceptel his resignation and a committee,
composed of C. H. Wlndham, C. A. Buf
fum and W. J. Morrison, was appointed
to select his successor and supply the
vacancy temporarily, at least, at once.
The popular pastor will preach his fare
well sermon next Sunday.
Rev. Mr. Thornton expects to devote
the next six years to the Sunday school
work, which will consist largely In trav
eling along the Pacific coast, interview
ing superintendents and teachers, hold-
Ing institutes and conducting round
tables. He hopes to become an authority
on methods and teacher training.
Before taking up this active work he
will spend four months In travel in the
east, a tour of inspection having been
arranged for him by the publishing com
pany.
'The pastor came here two years ago
from Waynesburg, Pa., and during his
pastorate the membership of the local
church has grown from 300 to 640. The
Sunday school under his supervision has
reached a total enrollment of 400. His
work In this Sunday school and his other
work in connection with the state Sun
day school work of his church led to the
flattering proposition made htm by the
publishing company.
His former pastorates have been In
Waynesburg, Pa.; Kansas City, Mo.;
Carroll ton, Mo.; May field, Ky., and Pitts
burg, Pa.
His family will maintain their resi
dence here.
