Many Officials Present
Much Enthusiasm Shown

The Coastside Civic Union held their regular monthly dinner meeting at the Half Moon Bay Inn on Tuesday evening with an unusually large attendance.
All routine work of opening the meeting was passed upon when President M.J. Bettencourt began introducing the county officials and guests. A. P. Black, attorney for the Ocean Shore Railway, told his listeners that the Railroad was prepared and was working upon the construction of the road bed, and all they ask is to be let alone, and inside of another year they would have the pleasure of riding upon a complete railroad.
