The question of air franchises, q
term now unknown, is likely in the
near future tc become one of serious
importance not only to this city blu
the whole United States, and one
which will eventually have to be set
tied by the supreme court of the Uni
ted States. The matter has not to dc
with s~kyscrapers as might be expec,
ed, but with the fast approaching 70
alization of the practical airship,
Neither has it to do with the rules of
the road for such craft, but with the
much more serious fundamental prob
lem of their right to fly over the land
of any Directing person. Indeed the
old expression free as the air. would
seem to need remodeling, fer %investi-
cation shows that the air is not free
at all-at least not for airships. I'm
der both the old Roman and the Eng
fish common law, upon which our code
is founded, an owners title to his
property is conceded to extend from
the center of the earth to the infinite
heavens. Such being the case a nan
has no moro right to fly owe the land
owned by another person that he has
to dig a tunnel under it. The right
to travel over a city in an aeroplane
would apparently seem to be as tax
able as the right to run an automo-
bile on its streets. Similarly the Up
GRAFTON Of a line Of airships would
seem to be subject to an air franchise
or charter as is that of a street ca,
line. The coming Of the airship will
bring up other equally complicated
problems most Of them involving the
need of air police. Without such an
agency smuggling would become sim
pie, while immigration laws would be
only a dead letter. Altogether the de-
of air craft promises to
bring up some very delicate problems.
and also to establish the commercial
value of air.
