TO MAYOR LEE BEVINS AND RON-
ORABLI CITY CQMMISSION:
Year committee, eppointed to xake
a special investigation into the needa
ter and th* requtrementa of a muni-
cipal airport for tha City of Amarillo,
begs H report as fsllow*.
We especially desite to thank
Mayer Lee Bivins, Mesars, Tsm Cur-
ri, Wlter Blackbifh, Bam Monta,
and othera who Have tendered the uae
of their land either for a free lease
or, in"pne tnstance, as a gift; but
none of these offers, for sarioua rea-
sons, has boss aceeptable in the judg-
ment of your committee. We also do-'
sir* to thank seveta very patriotic
citizens who have offered their prop-
erties at apparently very reasonable
prices, in ardor to asaist the city, and
wo will call your attention to some
of those offers.
It is our opinion thek.It te os vital
a need to the growth and develop-
ment of our city to have an aviation
eeator for the rapid development of
air transportation and Amarillo’s
strategic geographic location as it is
to bo s cantor for highway systems,
telephone ayetem, power development,
banking center or amusement center.
We think Ikis proposed airport
should by alb mean a be under city
control. in order to enable the eity
to make inducements for the devel-
opment of aviation in a manner that a
private eompany could not afford to
do.
We recommend that a fild be se-
cured, in fee simpie, at once, and
that a hangar aad other equipment
be inntalled as noonas competitive
bids can bs secured and any available
donations accepted for the benefit of
the city.
We make additional recommenda-
tions sb shown on attached sheets,
W. A. BARLOW, Chairman.
JOHN K. HILL.
A Special Board.
Ws recommend thst the conatrue-
lien of the airport and its mainten-
ance be under the direction of a
special Airport Board, to be appoint-
ed by the City Commission. Wetec-

is necessary that the ground have
sufficient slops for drainage, but no
