The total amount thus pledged was $5,935, of which 10 per cent, was 

 paid when note signed. 



" A good many who had signed subscription papers refused to sign in- 

 dividual notes, and many others could not be found ; so that the above are 

 the true historic names who stepped to the front and made our legal contest 

 and victory against saloons possible. 



"Those signers expected to pay ten installments, but instead of that 

 have only had to pay two. This result was gained by Dr. Reid collecting a 

 total of $109.50 for the cause from the following persons who did not sign 

 notes but who sympathized with the wark : Peter Sumstine, C. E. Daily, 

 Dr. J. C. Michener, James Clarke, W. C. Carpenter. J. F. Steen, R. E. 

 Pinney, I. B. Ivambert, E. H. Michener, W. J. Barcus, W. J. Gos?, A. O. 

 Porter, James Hewitt, J. F. Church, R. B. Hubbard, and the $17 from the 

 Williams' Hall meeting." 



Several of the above signers when their notes were returned to them 

 had them framed to preserve as heirlooms in the family. The Union'' s 

 article, speaking of the Supreme Court decision, further says : 



" The opinion of the court was delivered by Justice Patterson, a republi- 

 can, and concurred in by Searles, (C. J.) Sharpstein, McKinstry, Temple, 

 Thornton, all democrats, while McFarland, republican, filed a dissenting 

 opinion." 



HOW WAS IT ACCOMPLISHED ? 



" The result exceeded the most sanguine hopes of the committee and 

 their friends, for they had expected the court would stand four to three, or 

 possibly five to two, but six to 07ie was not dreamed of. This happy result 

 was due to the fact that, by the most watchful and painstaking care from 

 the very inception of the movement, the case was gotten into court free 

 from an}'- technical questions or side issues, so that the court had nothing be- 

 fore it but the one plain question of law — has Pasadena a lawful right to 

 prohibit liquor saloons, or has she not ? It took a vast deal of discreet con- 

 sultation, skillful management, patience, forbearance, faith and forecast to 

 secure and hold the case in this shape ; but it won at last, and so settled the 

 matter for the whole State. ' ' 



HOW MUCH MONEY ? 



"January 23, 1887, the first committee was appointed, with Dr. H. A. 

 Reid as chairman, to carry on this work ; and from that time until now the 

 citizens of Pasadena have contributed a total of $1310.80 for this special 

 cause. Every item of the expense account was carefully audited by the 

 committee in quorum session, before being paid. It has been a hard battle, 

 well fought and nobly won."
