AERIAL TRESPASS
LAWS NOVEL Thing
California May be the First to
Have Them in City Or
dinance Form.

The City Attorneys office is eugag-
ed in search for aerial Jurisprudence
Because the captive balloon ct Fiesta
Park, after the manner Of all balloons
vee-s with tie wind over divers and
sund-y lands and lots owned by park
neighbors. They object to sand bad
last on the ground tEat 1t is a nui-
sance. They also protest agoirst It
on t1eir roofs. The manager of the
Aero Club OF California believes the
time hos come for regulating tariff
between eaath and heaven.
To define the rights CT balloons and
airsaips ard to protect aerial navi-
Cation, property owreTs and citizens
from possible dangers is the purpose of
a proposed ordinance which the club
is p7eparing for psesentot!on to the
City Countil. 1t Will probably be tue
first in the world
The subject was brought TO the ct
tention OF the City Attorney yester-
day afternoon and referred by him to
Assistant Wilson. A conference was
led between wilson and the Aero
Club management and it was agreed
that it is not untme,y to have such
an ordnance framed and presented for
passage. Wilson suggested thct mem
bers Of the club formulate articles and
then hold another conference with
him.
The Aero Club members co-teGd
thct the tine IS neat when aerial craft
VIII be common in Southern California
and thet some provision must be made
for their legal operation. Already
Klabelshue has flown all ever the
city In his dir!gibie; .otLer ii. ships
are UbCut to be ConEtructed, a num-
Der Of flights have been maIGe witt
the bollOccs American and United
States; several flying machines Of the
heavier than cir" variety have been
completed AID await success to insure
local use; many mOIes Of other ma
c1iaes hove been made ard several
are u15er process Of construction.
With all this gctng on tie aero peo-
pie believe that ee-:al navigation in
Soutrein California Will be extensive
very soon.
Il believe that TIE Court ruling CIV
ing p.operty I:ghts Ear in tire air above
their Iced cen be knocked out the
first time n determined effort IN made
and that Will come right soon if aeli-
al navigation IS i-te cered WITH" said

so far us re needs it, but no further"
The Aero Club wants to make pro-
Visions requiring al banoonists 70
have permits, ether from TIE Aero
Club or the city officials, as a protec-
ton aRadnEt unskilied accoCaut; that
sand taken up in ballOol be of

oapative balloons that airsh!ps and
flying machi-es be required TO keep
away from building and wires except
where lending places are provided,
