REMOUNT DEPOT
AIR FIELD IS
COMPLETE
Second Division Fliers to
Move Into New Home
Saturday.

The new airdrome for the SeconC
Division air service at the site of thu
old Remount Depot. will be occupied
by the fliers Saturday, according tc
present plans.
Barracks and quarters have beer
cleaned and the task of filling bitches
and removing fences and buildings has
advanced to such stage that plenty
Of room already is available for land
ing purposes.
Work on the landing field began
Wednesday under direction of First
Lieutenant Harry Wellington, COM
mander of the air force. Detachments
of men with animals from the Second
Division are helping the air service
soldiers prepare their new home.
Two steel hangers that were erected
when the first flying field in the
Southwest was laid out on the present
site, are available. Doors will be re-
paired and the hangers cleared for
the reception of the planes.
The race track at the old depot site
has been cleared away, and the men
are now engaged in tearing away the
butts once used in target practice by
soldiers of the army post.
The grandstand at the race track
and the stables will not be torn down
until after the air detachment has
moved to its new field. Sufficient
space for landing and taking off is
provided without their removal, but
they will be salvaged as rapidly as
possible.
Electric wires running to the re-
mote control station of the Fort Sam
Houston radio station will be placed
under ground, and other lines in the
vicinity of the flying field will be re-
moved.
Nearby trees will also be cleared
away, providing safe approaches for
ships from every direction.

THOUSANDS OF DOGS
UNLICENSED IN S. A.

The city is losing several thousand
dollars yearly by not enforcing the Ii.
censing of dogs more closely, officials
of the city dog pound reported Fri
day.
In the last fiscal year only 1913
was paid in by owners of dogs, ac-
cording to official records at the city
hall. The year before S943 was de-
rived from the same source.
According to the city pound master
$1,000 should be paid by the owners Of
CANNES.
1t is pointed out that approximately
this amount came in in past years.
A solution would be to have an in
spector visit each home in the city
and ask how many dogs are kept on
the premises.
Failure Of the owners to license
their dogs would result in the CANNES
being taken TO the pound, where a
fee of 81 is now required for their re-
lease.
Licenses can be secured at the city
hall for 81.
