Samuel R. Weir of Phoenix was
fatally injured when struck by a

Phoenix and had just started to

young Weir, reported that Weir
stepped in front of his car so
suddenly that he had no time to
apply the brakes or to turn out
to avoid the accident. Weir was
carried on the h«xxl of the car
about 50 feet before he rolled off.
The doctor reported that he suf

PLANS STUDIED
FOR DEFENSE
AIRPORT HERE
City Supt. Elmer Biegel and
Leo G. Devaney, director of the
Oregon state board of aeronau
tics, were surveying favorable air
port locations Wednesday in view
of the possible construction of a
$150,000 defense airport here.
The survey resulted from favor- '
able action of the city council to a
suggestion by the state aeronau
tics board that the city supply a

council voted to make application
to the WPA for the money and if
it is approved all work will be
done by the WPA.
Two of the possible sites inves
tigated were the old Ashland air
port and the Ashland golf course
property. It was believed that
either of these locations would
