The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-02-22
FAIRFIELD

Gentlemen who were yesterday in spect1ng library square, opposite the drug store, with a view to ascertain whether it would be good place for an airship to land, thought there must be considerable risk, owing to the numerous elm trees in the v1c1n- ity, and the telephone and trolley wires which cross the plaza in all directions. Some disappointment was manifested when the conclusion was reached, for MT. Betts, the we'll known grocer, proposed to place the chairs in his big bay window and rent them at a good price for those who wished to see the airship take its chances. As the library would be closed during the holiday, persons could not be ad- mitted to that building. A few hun dred might be accommodated upon the terraces which surround the resi- dence of pr. Donaldson. But why speculate? It is not even known if Payne has accepted John Boyle's of fer.
