into the future. is going to outstrip all
the other boroughs, For Queens Is

In the least stuck up has nevertheless
been pleasantly aware of its own merits
Consequently Queens has taken Up air
planes so that the airplanes may shed
glory on Queens.
The Queens Borough Chamber OF Com
merce has offered to the Government
the services of it's manufacturing and
Industrial committee, Ray Palmer
chairman, In securing necessary landing
fields for both airplanes and seaplanes
The attention OF both the Secretary
of War and the Secretary OF the Navy
has been called to the advantage OF
Queens for the location OF landing fields
There are many large, level undeveloped
areas about both Flushing and Jamaica
bays. There are facilities--trolleys
railroad and elevated lines-for rapid
transit to Manhattan, II for any mex
plicable reason an aviator landing In
Queens should desire to cross the bridge.
But the time Is coming. say the Queens
ers. when Manhattan island will merely
be regarded as a bad landing field and
a resort Of unruly winds-the only blot
near an otherwise unblemished air
centre.
In letter to the Queens Chamber of
Commerce made public yesterday Sena-
tor James w. Wadsworth says:
II can we'll understand that the rapid
development of aviation will make
necessary the establishment, Of landing
fields for seaplanes and airplanes In

established upon Long Island. 1t oc-
ours to me that the Borough OF Queens
has better natural advantages than any
other district in that part of the city
II shall be glad to impress this view
upon any Government authorities who
contemplate the establishment of land
ing fields"
