Supervisor Casey’s Work Deserves a lot of Praise
Paid off Big Debt Besides Making Great Improvements.

The commendable of the Coastside Comet for the upbuilding of Moss Beach are deserving of the greatest praise and the Record would gladly join the Coment in advocating the construction of a boulevard from Colma to the coast were such a luxury within the range of a possibility at the present time. What is first needed is a good road, that is, the San Pedro road should be widened and improved so that travel of all kinds can be accommodated. Supervisor CASEY is in harmony with this plan and already he has improved that road so that it is in better condition than for twenty-five years, and there is no doubt but that his good work will be continued.

Mr. CASEY’s road improvements are actually marvelous considering the fact that when he was elected his district was in debt over $15,000. This has been paid and the roads in every portion of his territory are in better condition than ever before. He is utilizing the funds at his disposal to the very best advantage and our coastside friends certainly have no cause to complain.

The Mission road from the San Francisco county line to the cemeteries is undoubtedly traveled more than all the other roads in San Mateo county combined. A year ago this important thoroughfare was an actual disgrace owing to the fact that Mr. CASEY had not a dollar at his disposal, but as soon as he did get funds to work with not a moment’s time was lost. He also induced the United Railroad to aid in the work and that company has distributed hundreds of cars of gravel under his direction, so that now the Mission road is in very good condition.
