O maintain her position as an important Pacific coast air center, Medford must develop her
port facilities to adequately accommodate the constantly increasing coast-wise air traffic. This
city is geographically situated as the logical mid-point between Oakland and San Francisco
and Portland airport and enjoys the distinction of being Oregon's first air mail landing field.
"Air-minded" Medford people were farsighted enough a few years ago to establish Barber
field which was responsible for this city becoming an important link in the Pacific coast system
of landing fields. Now that Barber field has become inadequate to meet the requirements of
growing air activities, the same "Air-minded" people of this city must answer the call of progress with a new,
materially larger and better airport, suitable to accommodate the giant air-liners of today and of days to
come. . '
It is estimated that this airport development will necessitate an expenditure of approximately $109,000, with'
$1 1,000 interest fcr two years, which will meet the cosi of a new landing field of 247.6 acres, a mile long and
half a mile wide The importance of the immediate establishm.-ir of this airport is paramount; its value to the
future growth and prosperity of this city is indispensibl e Farsighted Medford voters must not fail, when they
are called upon to vote for the airport bond issue!
