Cost by Air Smaller


The cost of airplane operation is
comparatively small, Mr. Guggenheim
said, pointing out that the gasoline
consumption of the type mentioned is
approximately 13 gallons an hour,
while about a pint of oil is used per
hour for a 90-mile speed. He stress
ed also the low comparative cost of
maintenance of airways, and that the
Federal government is aiding in this
as it did railroads in their early days.
Within the next few months, he said,
an air passenger service is to be in
augurated between Los Angeles and
San Francisco, with cruising speed
Of 100 miles an hour, while the aver
age cruising speed Of the best mod
ern planes is about 30 miles.
Freight Speed II Miles Hour
The average speed Of freight trains
he gave as IL miles an hour, with
that Of passenger trains much great
er, but not officially computed. The
plane, he pointed out, gains also
through its more direct path. Over
head, insurance, depreciation and OBJ
solescense, Mr.. Guggenheim named as
the important. factors in present-day
cost Of airplane operation. Overhead
will be reduced as business increases,
while insurance rates will be slashed
when companies learn to differentiate
between the risks of passenger air
transport and those of the more spec
tacular flying, he said.
Clarence Chamberlain Also Speaker
Clarence Chamberlain, who with
Charles A. Levine flew from New
York to Germany last summer, was
among the speakers at the dinner
GAS we see it," Chamberlain said,
"aviation and the steamships and rail
roads should work hand in hand. We
know the flying end Of it and you
know the transportation end of it.
Aviation is here and commercial avia-
ton is here and ready to 60" The
transatlantic flyer suggested that
railroads have the name Of each town
painted on the roof Of its railroad
station as a guide to aviators but add
ed that airmail pilots now know by
sight the towns along their routes.
