Street Committee Bids Delay Main Street Paving Decision
A city paving bid meeting led to postponing contract awards for Main Street from Atlantic to Seaside after aldermen left discussions. Mack Brick offered $29.51 per thousand, Standard Brick Co. $28.75 per thousand, and other bids varied with brick types and square yard prices. The commission will test bricks, study wood block options, and require contractors to puddle ditches with hydrants under fire department control.
