Four Owners Share Atlanta Post Office Square Purchase
A proposed $170,909 appropriation to buy the remaining square for the Atlanta post office would be split among four owners. Estimates show Mrs Mary Dickson would receive about $85,000 and William and Fred Koch about $42,600, with English and Lowe and the John T Glenn estate each receiving around $21,000. A local real estate figure doubts the price and says owners likely will not part with the property for $170,000, suggesting $200,000 as a fairer value given nearby development.
