to return catch cards has been
very satisfactory." said Lock­

MORE BUILDING
IS 1941 TREND
Building has boomed in Ash-
land this year, according to build­
ing permit figures reported by
City Recorder J Q Adams at the
city council meeting Tuesday
night.
Thus far this year, including
July, 65 building permits have
been Issued which is almost 100
per cent ahead of any ven! .«mte
1937 The building trend was fully
reflected by council approval of
two more applications for resident
permits at the Tuesday night ses­
sion. fine was for the construction
of a $4,700 frame house and gar­
age on Fem street for Earl Lee­
ver, and the other for a frame
house and garage on Emerick av­
enue for Thomas First brook,
In addition to routine reports,
the council heard a report by City
Attorney Frank Van Dyke indi-
eating that Ashland's proposed
airport suddenly is without spon­
sorship According to Van Dyke,
there are no funds available for
the port and the Civil Aeronaut­
ics Administration, army and
navy now deny any necessity for
the port which was considered a
class B defense unit. In view of
this report it was decided to con­
tact officials of the WPA. CAA
and army and Oregon legislators
in an effort to learn the actual
standing of the proposed port.
