The $50,000 bond lsue wa voted

but there wa one delay In itarting

Apparently there wa a question
a to the right of municipalities to
construct airport outside their
boundaries, and work could not be
started until 'he court of Oregon
finally handed down a favorable de
cision. Due to a technicality, the bond
Issue had to be re-voted, and It wa
not till the summer of 1934 that
the airport wa In condition to land

Additional progressive step were
taken with the instigation of a ci

It wasn't until August of 1846 that
the attempt of the chamber avia
tion committee to obtain service by
United Air Line In Klamath Falls
wa crowned with success. For it
waa on that date that passenger ;
and mail service wan Initiated by I
United. 1
Previous to that. In IMS, Phil
HitcUcock and (he late Senator Mar
shall Cornett had Journeyed back to
Washington to appear before a hear
ing of the CAB. Before their arrival
at the capitol city, the civil aero
nautics examiner had already
given an unfavorable opinion of the
local aviation situation. They rec
ommended that Klamath Falls be
serviced with a feeder line.
However, both Hitchcock and
Cornett were eloquent In their ap
peals before the board and behind
the scene, and the board recom
mendation wa reversed.
So it was, after years of diligent
toll, a great measure of success was
achieved by the air-minded citizens
of the Klamath area.

'Boxcar' House
Setup Creates
Oretech Storm
By HALE MCAKHHIlt till .
Rumblings of dissatisfaction over
housing, particularly that In the
Mountain View protect, are being
heard over Oregon Tech these days.
Some students have a petition out
asking that a change be mad In
th management of the Mountain
View apartment and art reported
ly refusing to pay their rent lo bark
up the demand. An unconfirmed re
port from Oregon Tech says the
school can and mav evict student
residents of tht housing project
when their rent Is five days past
due.
Oregon Tech operates the SO units

end of Main street bark of Alsmeda

SO "boxcar" houses. 4 were occu

man Conner, and one was vacant,

Th whole protect Is something
of an eyesore and la in use only
because of (lie arute shortage of
apartment space up at Ihe OTI
campus and also here In town for
the student population. It was built
for temporary housing In 1843 and
was almost torn down a year and
a half ago
Dissatisfaction of Mountain View
residents Is hardly any newer than
the housing project and the current
wave, say OTI officials, probably
results from some students and their
families expecting too much.
Tht houses are liveable but art
a long way from any vine-covered
postwar cottage.
Rent Heefa
Tht grumbling reportedly stems
from claims thst the rent i:l-s-monlhi
Is too high and that main
tenance hasn't kept up with de
terioration at the project. The latter
charge points directly at Conner,
who a manager of the Mountain
View project does sit the mainten
ance work except when he can wan
gle temporary help from the cam
pus maintenance department.
The project houses were Jerry-
, built late in 1943 primarily as liv
ing quarters for construction work-
lers building the Msrme Barracks.
now Oregon Tech. They were sup
posed to be dismsntlrd as soon as
the workers moved out.
But during the life of Ihe Marine
Barracks, housing In Klamath Falls
was so short Ihe Mountain View
project was rented out to military
and civilian families by the federal
public housing authority, at 3( a
month.
When Uit housing situation eased
