652 HISTORY OF PASADENA. 



two polls — one in the territory not excluded, and another in the territory pro- 

 posed to be excluded. The polling place for this latter section was at the 

 Newton ranch house on the adobe road, near the bridge crossing the Arroyo 

 del Castillo. And the sort of people forming that saloon-ridden settlement 

 is pretty well indicated by the names of the officers for this election, which 

 were : Daniel Kevane, inspector ; Barton Qujaneck and Herman Schackow, 

 judges; h. W. Kevane and Domingo Batz, clerks. The vote stood in the 

 city, fifty-nine for exclusion, and seven against ; in the excluded territory, 

 twenty-five for exclusion, and none against. The result was duly certified 

 to the secretary of state, and the new boundaries then established continue 

 to this time — 1895. 



February 11, 1889, M. B. Selman resigned as city marshal, and K. 

 Peters was appointed. April 22, an official bench mark was established, 

 being ' ' the top of stone coping under windows at northeast corner of the 

 Opera House [Graham & Mohr's brick block] on south side of Center 

 street — 657.86 feet above datum plane," or sea level. They had petitioned 

 the county board of supervisors for a justice of the peace at South Pasadena, 

 and accordingly F. H. Smith had been appointed for them ; then they im- 

 mediately made him also City Recorder [police judge] — May 27, 1S89. 

 The next regular city election took place early in April, 1890 ; and the 

 Pasadena Standard of April 19, said: 



' ' The South Pasadena city election was carried with a clean sweep by 

 the whole ticket in favor of maintaining the anti-liquor ordinance. The new 

 board consists of Ed. Gardner (holds over), Leo A. Longley, W. H. Mace, 

 Charles Moore, S. J. Fleming; Clerk, A. F. M'Rej^nolds, re-elected; Mar- 

 shal, E. Peters, re-elected ; Treasurer, J. H. Jacobs, re-elected. The total 

 vote cast was 126 ; and all but two of the candidates received every vote." 



June 26, 1893, E. Gardner resigned as member and president of the 

 city council, and J. P. Early was chosen in his stead. During this year also 

 the city had a legal contest with the Eos Angeles Terminal Railroad Com- 

 pany, which was charging a higher rate of fare to Eos Angeles than that 

 fixed in their right-of-way franchise through the city. About August i 

 Judge Eucien Shaw of the Superior Court, Eos Angeles, gave a decision in 

 favor of the city. The railroad company appealed the case to the State 

 Supreme Court, and this tribunal also decided against them. So they were 

 obliged at last to either fulfill the terms which they had agreed to in their 

 franchise, or else remove their trackage from the streets of the city.
