AIR SURVEYOR
. STATE FINISHED
Minneapolis Men Find North
Dakota Interested in Avia.
ton Progress

Minneapolis, July 1O.-tR)-Defin-
lite plans are under way among
North Dakota cities for establish
ment of landing fields which will en-
able regular commercial airplane
service, it was reported today by a
party Of Minneapolis men who re-
turned from an observation tour
over the state.
The party included Marvin A.
Northrop, L. r. Roberts, and E. H.
Wilde, general passenger agent of
the Great Northern Railroad. They
inspected temporary fields already in
operation at Fargo, Minot, Devils
Lake, and Langdon, using a plane
piloted by Walter Halgren with j.
Edwards as mechanic.
The party reports a great deal
of interest generally in aviation
considerable present activity in the
provision Of landing fields and the
prospect for much greater activity
in 1929. The greatest present draw.
back to the extension Of airlines, the
observers found, is the lack of ar
enabling act which would permit
municipalities to purchase suitable
sites for airports. A movement now
is definitely on foot to obtain action
by the legislature at the COMING
session.
Several private business and socia
organizations already have acquired
options or leases on property which
may become municipal airports.
