WASHINGTON. D.. c.. March 81
An airship line. fully equipped with reg
ular days of sailing, and maintaining a
prescribed schedule, is proposed to the
postoffice department by \. Brodbeck of
Salt Lake City, who would have the
mails fly through the air, instead of be-
ng transported by rail and water.
Mr. Brodbeck, before undertaking the
expenditure involved in establishing the
proposed service, thoughtfuIly inquired of
the postal authorities whether he could
obtain a contract for carrying the mails.
provided he would guarantee as much
dispatch and as speedy delivery as are
required of the present carriers, aud
would do it as cheaply. He contemplates

his route is that it avoids the Atlantic
