Scarcely any other city in the country has made
the progress within the last five years in the
matter Of street paving that Atlantic City has.
Then there was hardly "a good street the island.

paved or built Of macadam, else the contracts
Tor their improvement have been made More than
a half million Of dollars has been expended for
the improvements the thoroughfares and as soon
as those are completed which are at present Under

spring that the city has ever known Never before
