Millard Bass has returned to Gowen's Field, Boise, after spend Airport Is Dropped at Silverton Mid -Willamette Valley News silverton With tne pay-1 ment of the final $180 hangar rent this week, the city of Silverton severs all connection with an air port The amount was voted paid at the December council meeting. Councilmen recall that the air port at Silverton first came into being in 1927 at the instigation of Delvert Reeves Post, No. 7, Amer ican Legion. In the airport were 87.2 acres of land belonging to the Al Coolidge estate. The Le gion built the hangar and two years later, on September 27, leased the airport to the city. Agreements of the lease, as ac quired by the Legion post in 1927, were that all taxes and assess ments against the Droperty be cared for. In 1937, when the first lease, a ten-year arrangement, expired, it was found that there was $2779.36 owing on the airport in taxes in addition to penalties and interest. The matter rode along until Sep- ing a ten-day furlough with his tember, 1939, when the city audit Barents in Mill City. snowed mat mere was $4015.67 due m back taxes, interest and Jimmy Day, employed by the penalties.

He was treated at the Mill City hos pital and spent several days there where X-rays showed no serious injuries. He is convalescing at his home. Fortunately, the snag which hit him was so decayed that it was completely pulverized upon hitting the ground. The Security Benefit Associa tion held a meeting at the IOOF Hall, entertaining Clara M. Grol bert, district manager. During the meeting it was de cided to have a no host supper at 8:30 p.m., December 12 and to have an exchange of gifts after the meeting.

Pratum PTA to Convene Monday PRATUM The Pratum Par- ent-Teacher association will howl Its December meeting at the school house Monday at 8 o'clock. Stanley Church, state direct? of traffic safety, is to give a special program of sound motion pic tures entitled "Short Stops" and A Turn-About Man." Mr.hurch and different pictures wfre en joyed by the Pratum sehool chil dren at Central Howell recently. Everyone is asked to bring a "white elephant" for fun at the Dutch auction. Proceeds are to be used " for children's Christmas treat. for the hangar during the past year. The entire amounts have been cleared up during the past two years, and the lease has not been renewed. What was once Silverton's airport is now a field being plowed up, and the hangars, it is reported, are soon to be torn down. Since September 28, 1929, the city had leased the airport to the federal government, who bought tile for the field and also hired men as caretakers at the field. The federal government, in addi tion installed its lights about the field. During the past year the field was sub-leased to Alfred Ad ams. , While the airport has been, al most from the beginning, an ex pense to the city, city officials had maintained it in hopes some larger project might at some time devel op from it. However, present of ficials felt that it was too great an expense to retain with no more prospects of development than could be had at present Citizens like to recall the time when air circuses brought scores of planes to town.
