H NJ. Owens, president of the San
Francisco motor club, in discussing yes
terday the track meet to be given at
Tanforan on the 29th and s0th of the
month to raise funds to improve the
main road from the end of the boule-
ward to the good section at Millbrae,
said:
"All arrangements have now praeti-
cally been completed. Supervisor Casey
or the northern part of San Mateo
county is hard at work getting the road
in shape leading to Tanforan and prom
iseS that it will be completed by the
first day of the meet. The entries close
on the goth and the indications are that
all events will be filled.
''rhis should be the most popular
meet of the season, for it is not being
run in behalf of any promoters or or
ganizat1on, but for the benefit of the
public at large. Every user of the
main highway out of the city, whether
the owner of an automobile. horse
drawn vehicle or pedestrian will reap
the benefits of the labors of the officers
of the motor club, who, through labor
of love, are trying to raise the neees-
sary amount of money to wipe out a
disgrace to San Mateo county.
Every businessman in San Francisco
should feel it his duty to support this
movement, as it will mean the giving of
good highway out of San Francisco,
thereby enhancing the value of this
city as a winter resort for the eastern
motorist.
