The News argues that paving Chestnut street from the depot to the Chuynkadall home could become Atlantic's finest street. It notes mixed opinions among property owners about costs, estimates the price at about 200 to 250 dollars per 25-foot lot with seven-year payments, and compares paving to front upgrades that raise property values. The piece urges the March council to act, highlighting dust, noise reduction, and higher street appeal as benefits.
