BUDGET BUREAU GETS
GASQUE AIRPORT BILL
Commissioners Forward Measure,
Failing to Make Comments on
Merits of Program.

The Gasque bill providing for the
establishment of a municipal airport
on the site of the old Benning race
track was sent to the Budget Bureau
by the District Commissioners yester-
day to determine whether it conflicts
with the financial program of the
President.
While the Commissioners failed to
make any comment on the merits Of
the bill, they advised the Budget
Bureau that it is their opinion that
before any definite site is selected
for an airport, legislation should first
be enacted authorizing study to be
made with a view to determining
whether an airport should be created
how much of an airport is needed.
where 1t should be located, and how
it should be financed.
Upon the completion of such an in
vestigation, the Commissioners said, if
il is determined that an airport is de.
sirable and necessary. legislat ton could
then be enacted to authorize it's estab.
lishment
The bill authorizes the Commits
sioners to acquire the Benning track
at a cost not to exceed 1878 200, and
limits the total cost of the airport to
$500 900

him or admit him to her presence to

Home Buyers Guides Have Changed
Since War, Say Real Estate Dealers

The home buyer today Is quite q
different person in many ways from
the buyer before the war, according
to real estate dealers.
The agitation about coming, as well
as the stability and beauty of a house.
has given him keener appreciation Of
the Intangible factors that enter into
the value Of a home. The populariza-
ton Of new ideas in building and
equipment have made him want better
houses than anybody built in those
days. Consequently, when he goes
a-buying his new knowledge and new
ideas are brought into play, they say.
1t isn't like the old days at all. The
buyer and his wife and the younger
members Of the family will, as likely
as not, make the journey in their
own car, thereby covering a wider
range Of territory before they see
