The entire matter is expected TO he

of the board Of county commissioners
on next Tuesday afternoon. at the

visory Board have been invited 70 be
present to discuss the matter with the

fore the bond issue was voted upon,

in connection with this road construc-
tion, az well as general and wider
plan for road building over the eoun-
ty.
The new plan for a gravel road. to
take the place Of the proposed btu
minous highway resulted from what
IL is believed will be a shortage in the
necessary TO build the smoot-
topped highway. due to rapidly rising
costs of material and labor. The graz

possible landing fields.
I'VE are trying 10 locate a field
big enough to land battle planes" :"
they told c. l.. Jessup, chairman Of
the Board of City Development. IF
Brownsville wants to be on the aerial
map Of America this is her chance.
The government has made no appro-
priation for buying landing fields. but
il the city here will furnish the use
Of proper field we will clear it and
maintain il.
To-day the air service is divided
between the army and navy, but the
time IS coming when a new depart
ment Of air ministry viii be formed
IN this government. Then the work
Of the air service will be enormous.
In the meantime stations are being To-
Gated throughout the country. and
the towns that take hold and get a
landing field now, while they can. are
-golng to be the recognized points on
the aerial map in the future.
IF Brownsville has one of these
landing fields IL will mean that for
miles around the Brownsville symbol
will be painted on roofs and worked
out in fields with white stones, guild
ing the aviator or balloonist to this
place
"A town that turns down the land
ing field proposition now may have
hard time getting on the map later
on, even though they have better fa-
eIlities. The route once established
likely to be maintained. With a
permanent route established it gives
. chance to study meteorological and
other conditions so that the flying
man can look at his map anywhere
and know what to expect and what
TO do"
The officers told Mr.. Jessup that
they sought a flat piece Of land. at
least three miles from the border
ihey said Fort Brown would not do
ior their work. This land must be
loaned to the government free of
charge. Then the government will

desired, even square mile would be
acceptable. The only requirement Is
That It be flat and accessible to a
