CITY RULERS
ARE ASKED TO

Pan-American Willing
To Hear Proposals
On Contract, Body
Told BY Morrison

A recommendation to the city
commission that 10 do everything
possible to meet the wishes OF the
PAN American Airways. Inc. in or
der that the company may be re-
tanned here was set forth IN reso-
luton adopted by the board Of di-
rectors OF the chamber Of commerce
Thursday night.
The meeting was called at the
suggestion of Jesse bennett. q dl-
rector, who introduced the reSoiu-
tion.
The resolution was adopted by
unanimous vote, and a committee
consisting Of bennett, j. 5. Ford
and A. w. Reed.
Among those present were w. l..
Morrison. representative here u the
American, and his company 5
attorney, II. l.. YHes. VINO Is a,so a
member of the board. and Commis-
sioners j. A. Cobolini and J. G..
Starck.
President S. "A. Rosenthal. well
coming Mr.. Morrison. explained TO
the visitor that the chamber OF
commerce had no authority TO act in
the circumstances. but that it could
properly make certain Recommended
tions.
The deadlock between the city
commission and the airway company
was brought about following a pro-
posed contract for use of the field
presented by the airways company.
The contract, 1t Is understood. was
accec.able to the city except for a
clause which gave 70 the company
the refusal Of purchase or lease OF
the airport at the same figures Of
fered by any other firm.
1t was explained that attorneys
had pointed out that the city could
not legally enter into such an agree
ment. Attorney Yates explained
that the company understood that
fully, but that they considered such
agreement would be a moral obliga'
ton on the part OF the city.
Another hitch was In the COM
panys requirement that the city
maintain the airport as an ALA
airport, as required by the federal
government. The city objected tc
that In view Of the possibility that
these requirements at some time
might be such as the city would be
unable to meet. This objection later
was eliminated by the insertion oi
a paragraph that such maintenance
would be limited to whatever the
requirements would be as Of the
time OF the signing Of the contract.
MIR. Morrison stated that the Pan
American would offer no further
contracts, but would be glad to con-
slider any contract offered by the
city or Brownsville. One exception
