the purse of SIS evenly. The honors

PENINSULA LEAGUE
COMM[NDS CALL
Movement to Improve Condition
of Automobile Boulevard
Ar0uses Interest

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, May s.
The Call has assumed the proper at
titude in relation to the automobile
boulevard" said w. J. Martin, presi-
dent of the Peninsula promotion league.
in discussing the condition, past and
present. of that thoroughfare today.
III deserves the thanks of the people
of this county for its efforts to arouse
interest in the highway. That road
was built about a year ago at a cost
of $4,000, and look at its condition
now The autocratic stand taken by
the board of supervisors at its last
meeting in refusing to aid In the re-
pafr of the boulevard can not be too
strongly condemned. for the road and
the travel which it brings is of the
greatest benefit to the whole county
he continued.
Since Supervisor Jim Casey of this
township failed to induce his colleagues
at the last meeting of the supervisors
to aid him in placing that portion or
the boulevard for which the county IS
responsible in proper shape, the Re
ninsula promotion league, composed OF
the various civic bodies between South
San Francisco and Sunnyvale, has
tackled the problem and under the
spurring of Martin hopes to accomplish
definite results at their meeting to be
held in Redwood City on May II.
The county at large, and especially
the delegates to the league, recognize
the necessity of having this connecting
link between San Francisco and San
Mateo counties maintained in first class
condition. Prominent automobilists like
Henry T. Scott and Charles Il. Green,
who reside in this county, not only
wish to have the present boulevard re-
paired, but are also most enthusiastic
over the proposition which is being
doomed for the building of a scenic
boulevard along the bay shore. Martin
personally advances either a scheme to
bond the county or popular subscrip-
ton, with possible aid from the state
road bonding project. as means OF
gathering the necessary funds.
That the present deplorable condl-
ton of the automobile boulevard has
aroused widespread interest. is evil
denced by the acceptances that have
been received in response to invitations
70 attend the banquet and meeting of
the league at Redwood City on next
Wednesday evening. Among those who
expect to be present are: Paul Shoup
of the Southern Pacific; oliver G. Stine,
American realty company; Charles N.
Black, United Railroads; Rufus p. Jen-
