this purpose one of the two or three
suitable areas which are still available,
the city would instantly be far better
situated regarding airport facilities
than most other cities which already
have such reservations. We have at
hand few figures and statistics show
ing that through the country most
airports and landing fields, including
the Post Office field, have been obliged
to locate at a considerable distance
from their respective cities because
Of the built-up and congested nature
of the city in modern times.
washington is particularly fortu
nate in having at the moment a few
which could be converted into an air
port at a comparatively small cost.
We respectfully urge that the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission acquire and designate
one of these areas as Washington'S

Advantage of Central Site.
Perhaps the greatest advantage
Of aerial transportation is the time
which is saved. 1t is obvious that
when it is necessary to travel some
distance out into the countryside to
make use of air transportation much
of it's advantage is lost.
I'VE approve the site proposed by
the National Aeronautic Association,
being the grounds bounded by Ben
ming road, Anacostia River, Twenty
first street northeast and B street
southeast, this location being the
nearest possible to our railroad ter
minal and business section, and in
other ways convenient for the air
traveller as we'll as a desirable i'm
provement to our section of the city.
I'VE would like, however to sug-
gest as valuable ground for this pur-
pose the property formerly owned
by the Washington Jockey Club, and
adjoining property to the north. be-
tween KenilWorth avenue and the
Anacostia River.
While this area is little farther
out, and perhaps suffers a slight loss
of these advantages, it has others
which surpass from an airman's
point of view
Il. The area is larger than the
kingman Lake area and would per-
nit of large planes negotiating take
offs and landings simultaneously
without danger.

not handicapped by permanent OBJ

Old Jockey Club Property

Pledging their Endorsement Of any
movement having for it's aim the
establishment of city-owned air
terminal. and their cooperation as far
Is possible in such a plan, the Kenil-
worth and Benning Citizens AsSocia-
tons have addressed a letter to Maj.
L. S. Grant, Sd. executive officer Of
the National Capital Park and Plan

the property formerly owned by the

ing property to the north, between

Citizens Associations was frought
with enthusiasm over the movement.
Signed by John S. Driggers and A. d.

the Kenilworth and the Benning Citi-

1T has been learned from the local
daily newspapers that the National
Aeronautic Association seeks to inter-
est the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission in the establish
ment of municipal airport for this
city and has recommended certain
locations for the same.
We wish to hereby make known
our Endorsement of any movement
having for its aim the establishment
of city-oWned air terminal, and will
cooperate as far as possible in such
q movement, as, looking forward. we
believe the day is not far distant when
all cities of Importance must be linked
together by airwayS, and maintain air
port facilities
Air transportation is no longer a
thing of Imagination, but is a reality
of daily increasing proportions, and
we expect to witness a considerable
part of business and commerce car
ried on by this medium.

1T is believed that a city which
neglects to provide itself with an air
port is, in effect. isolating itself from
others, to the extent that air traffic

velop. We believe it would be exceed

reason the very rapid building and

stantly threading on the areas where
an airport might be built.
