Monday evening attended by businessmen of both cities when a temporary board of directors was elected and instructed to proceed with incorporating and also to ac quire an option on a strip of grounud lying between Sheridan and W illa mina, acceptable to the State Air way Survey Engineers.

Fletcher, of the W illsheron Flying Service, who outlined the growing importance of air transportation, pointing out that It had become a major factor in the business world at well as retaining its place as a m eans of recreation. He called at tention to the Federal and State surveys being made for the purpose of coordinating the efforts of all bodies In order that fields may be properly located and give maximum service of the class for which they are designed. The Federal government has ap propriated 87,000,000 to carry on Its share of the work and will meet th< expense of establishing fields on a 50-50 basis where all its specifa- cations are complied with. An ef— | fort being made to urge the next '¡Oregon state legislature to Institute a state-aid program for the build ing of airfields. Plans previously agreed upon cal led for a field to replace that now being operated by the W illsheron Flying Service out on the Red Prair ie road, and the site looked upon with favor was a field just west of the Ross Taylor Mill, west of the Rock Creek highway, with an oral I agreem ent with the owner, Otto Heider, Sheridan attorney, for the purchase of 20 acres of land to cost approximately $3,000. The com m u te appointed to make a preliminary report. Cecil Harrison and R. R. Board, co-chairman, estim ated that another $3.000 will be needed for im proving the field and tor building runways and other facilities.

All who will are urged to become members and help put the projejet over. “ It will need the help of all of us and all all of us will reap the benefit” was the way one person put It at Mon day n igh t’s m eeting. Attending the m eeting from W illam ina were H. A. Parrett. K. E. Shetterly, A. D. New- by and C. S. Harris.
