Including licens ing of pilots and inspection of planes, the proposed bureau wAuld he author ized to develop, establish, or take over and maintain air routes and air navi gation facilities. The provision of essential air nav igation facilities, such as properly marked airways for both day and night flying and emergency and ter minal land fields, the committee holds to be a "public, responsibility.'
