Les Mauldin, manager Of the air
port, announced Wednesday that
the matter had been taken under
consideration by the commission and
would be acted upon f~avorably
within the next few days.
The field at present is practically
closed to traffic because Of the mud
which is said TO be extremely heavy.
A plane attempting to land would
be nosed over as soon as its land
