EXPECT A HEAVY VOTE ELECTION TOMORROW ATTRACTS GREAT ATTENTION i MASS MEETING OF CITIZENS IS HELD Councilman Claims Administration Will Turn Lighting Plant Over to Edison Company if Bonds Fall to Carry epeclal to The Herald. PASADENA, Feb.

the city administration will turn the tnunlclpal lighting plant over to the Edison company In the event the electric light bonds fail to carry at Thursday's election is the belief of Councilman Crandall. The doughty defender of the Waterhouse administration made such a statement to the mayor and his colleagues at today's session of the council' when matters pertaining 'to the plant were discussed. The election Thursday is exciting usual. interest and the Indications are that a heavy vote will be polled. A number of Influential citizens are said to be working against the bonds in a quiet way and unless there is a change of, sentiment within the next twentyfour hours there is doubt as to the outcome.

The necessary two-thirds majority in a large vote requires a heavy poll in favor of the proposition. The mass meeting of citizens held at Woodman hall tonight taxed the capacity of the hall. A general complaint that taxes last year were a bur den to the small property owner Is being used as an argument that the additional bonds will increase the burden without any apparent benefits. At the meeting tonight Mayor Earley sought to explain that the Increase ln taxes will be so small that the humble property owner will scarcely feel It. The mayor was the principal speaker at the meeting, and he willingly answered all questions pertaining to the failure of the money heretofore voted to meet the requirements of the municipal plant.

Following the remarks of the mayor there was a general exchange of expression from those In the audience. From these it is apparent that all are not satisfied 'to go ahead under the plans of the mayor, although there can be 'no "question but that the, meeting resulted ln much good to the cause, as many were there who have heretofore not thoroughly understood the situation and the remedy demanded to make the municipal light plant a success by overcoming mistakes made in the past.
