CAPT. STICKNEY
COMING TO CHOOSE
LANDING FIELD
Option Secured on 30 Acres
of Land on St. JOhnsbury
Center Road

With the intention of putting St.
.JohnSbuly on the aero map and ut
the uggestion of the Vermont Aero
Club Il paper las been circulated in
town The past week to see if $1,000
can De raised TO bur suitable land
ing ield. lnasmuch as more than that
amount has been subscribed bv some
so Of our townspeople, either in sub
scrip ions Of $50 or $25 each. an OPP
ton has been secured on the so-called
Butler meadow on the road to st.
Johnsbury Center. This is the larg-
est level field in this immediate vicl-
nifty and contains about 30 acres of
land.
At a meeting of the subscribers at
Fythian Hall Thursday evening it
was voted after some discussion to
authorize Il committee consisting of
Edgar r. Brown, Arthur F. Stone,
and Charles E. Kirk to get an option
on the Butler meadow pending an eX-
animation of the field by an expert
aviator.
A letter was read at the meeting
from Capt. H. +. Stickney of Bellows
Falls, Il member of the Lafayette
Flying Corps of the French army in
the late war, stating that he would
like 10 come to S. Johnsbuly this
month in his Curtis biplane and give
exhibitions flights and take up pas
sengers at the usual commercial
rates--$13 for Is minutes. Capt. Stick
ney said as soon as suitable landing
place could be secured he would make
the trip.
The chairman of the meeting read
a report Of the aviation meeting in
Burlington Wednesday night where
Col. Gerald c. Brant, U. S. A., came
up from Winchester, Mass, that
afternoon and landed on University
field. Col. Brant made the trip in
three hours of which only half of the
time was spent in the air. Col. Brant
said hat the American Flying Club
and The members of the air service
in the Army and Navy were only
waiting for suitable landing places
to make their trips.
James p. Taylor, secretary of the
Vermont Aero Club, announced at
the Burlington meeting that SPRING
field had already field presented by
James Hatness' and that Brattleboro
and st. Johnsbury were negotiating
for similar landing fields in then
towns.
Capt. Fl. Z. Stickncy in a telephone
conversation with one of the mem
bcrs Of the committee, said he would
be here next Thursday and look ovel
the proposed field. 1t is likely that
a meeting will be arranged with Capt
Stickney Wednesday evening with a
view 20 having him tell of the practi.
cal side of the aviation game and
particularly how it might be of bene-
fit to the towns and cities IN New
England that have landing fields.
The proposed landing field in St.
Johnsbury has aroused much interest
and little opposition and the signcrs
for a proposed field with har'"'' a.
exception believe that they ave
started something that will be OF ben
eft 20 the community.

Measure to Prouide Aid
in Home Building, Land
Priority and Also Cash

WASHINGTON, April 10.-Republi-
can leaders to-day tentatively agreed to
present a soldier relief measure to the
House about May /.
Besides carrying cash compensation
the bill will include alternative offers
of priority in land settlement, home
building aid and extension Of voca-
tional training. Two plans for adjusts
ed cash compensation have been sub
mitted by b-committee Of the House
Ways and Means Committee, one grant
ing 81 for each days service and the
other authorizing payment at the ratE
of $1.25 for each day, with no pay
ments for the first two months of serv-
ice. Under the latter plan, members
said, those exempted because their
service was less than sixty days and
those serving for longer period would
be treated impartially, no payments
being authorized to any one for the
first two months service. 1t is pro-
posed to begin cash payments on Janu-
ary l, 1921, continuing in quarterly
instalments.
tax on gross sales, it is said, prob
ably will be the plan adopted to raise
necessary revenues. Democrats, how
ever, oppose this, desiring to present
some legislation imposing further
taxes on excess war profits Some Re-
publicans will also oppose sales tax

Senate minority leader, will make an
effort tomorrow to pass his bill per-
hitting the manufacture and sale of
2.75 per cent beer. 1t was asserted to-
night he is assured thirty-two votes
six more than required to pass. At the
same time, Senator George F. Thomp-
son, Republican, Of Niagara, will make
an effort to get his dry enforcement bill
out Of committee.
While these moves are scheduled in
the Senate, Assemblyman Ransom H.
Gillett, Republican, of Columbia, was
paving the way tonight to bring his
light wine and beer bill out of Speaker
Sweets morgue. The first step will be
conference of Assembly leaders,
scheduled for tomorrow morning. If
Assemblyman Gillett fails to obtain
consent for the release of his bills
from committee he will repeat the ef-
fort from the floor.
1t was regarded as certain tonight
that In the event Senator Walkers bill
passes the Senate it will find sufficient
support in the Assembly to put it over.
The bill has been so amended as to per-
nit the sale Of beer only for home con-
sumption. In it's original form it per-
mitted the sale of beer in hotels of
certain prescribed standards.
