Some ofthe things Holly Beach wants
is improved streets, good crossings, a
sewer system to meet the requirements
of the Borough for at least fifteen years
to come and the improvement of Arc
tic avenue and its conversion into a
speedway or boulevard for driving pur-
poses. This would add vastly to the
prestige of the Borough. 1t would
bring the property west of the rail-
road or the market, and increase
the wealth and population of Holly
Beach.
