Work on the landing field, being
promoted by tho American Region
at Klgln is progressing -in a very
satisfactory manner, especially
during the last few weeks when the
weather has permitted long days'
work. The work or h' veiling has
been almost complcled with -the
aid of bol h stud; ami county c(iilp
ment. .The field consists of 40 acres of
lund, which tho', l egion purchased
before It wus known exactly what
they contemplated. It lays well
for such a purpose,' und permits
runways long enough to allow the
field to bo placed under "Class A".
As 'tho field Is on a hill, tlio run
ways havo been so urrungod that
I here can bo no difficulty what
ever with clearance.
All the plans which the l.eglon
men have In mind In connection
with their project have not yet
