The following report was received from Air Port Committee:
Salina., Kansas. August 20th,, 1928.
Honorable Mayor and
City Commissioners,
Kansas.
Gentlemen:
Your Joint Committee, appointed by the Chamber of Commerce
and the City Commission to recommend a site for an Aviation Field
has viewed the West—half of the Northeast Quarter of Section 20.,
Township 142 Range 2 West, Saline County., Kansas; also the
Southeast Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of Section 20, Town-
ship 14 Range 2 West, Saline County, Kansas, adjoining, and beg
to recommend as follcris:
That if a reasonable price can be secured on the above de-
scribed land that the City purchase this land for an Aviation
Field, the same being very suitable for such a field, in the opinion
of the Aviators on the Committee.
The eighty acres proper is the most desirable part of the
land. And while the 40 lies very well, except the Southwest corner,
to give the greatest utility for an East and lest take -off, it is
probable that a small fill would have to be made across a low point
of the Southwest corner of the eighty acres where the two tracts
join.
We further suggest that if the City of Salina is satisfied
to purchase this tract of land, that a Government Inspector for air-
plane airports be requested to pass upon this field, so there will
be no question as to our being designated as a flying field on the
Government Air Map.
Very truly yours,
A. W. Dodge,
R. C. Carlisle,
Ed Morgenstern.,
H. A. Regle.
On motion of Commissioner Campbell same was adopted and ap-
proved by the Board of Commissioners.
