AIR ROUTE ESTABLISHED

The government has determined on one air route from Washington to Key West, Fla, which will be established sometime this year. DeHavilands, or planes of that type, will be used in this service. They will make the flight direct from Washington to Key West, via Atlanta, and it is the intention of the postoff1ce department to establish feeder routes that will include Birmingham, Montgomery, Columbus, Ga, and other cities in this section of the south. Smaller planes may be used on the feeder routes.
 The fair grounds, which was fixed up last fall as landing place for training airplanes, is too small for the type or craft that will be used in the mall service.
 Lieutenant Price called on General Manager P. A. Fenimore of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday and talked the matter over. Later President c. A. Montgomery of the Real Estate exchange was called in and agreed to look for a suitable site for landing place.
