Bismarck has become considerably
alarmed over its airport situation.
Air minded" citizens are urging
the city commissioners to bring the
situation to q head, purchase some
suitable property. and begin work IN
developing an airport Immediately.
City commissioners state that they
are In no position now to take any
definite steps toward buying property
which In the long run would be
WISE" and are urging interested citi-
zens to maintain patience They
express confidence that the situation
will be cleared up In the near future
to the satisfaction and for the best
interests Of the city.

that something must be done i'm

Lenhart Makes Explanation
A. p. Lenhart. president Of the city
commission, points out that many
things interfere with action which
will be immediate and wise at tha
same time.
In the first place. property which
they deem suitable has not yet beer
placed for sale. Several properties
have been offered for lease or sale
to the commission. but upon investi-
cation the commissioners could mol
sec their way clear to close deal.
''Citics are not permitted undel

find property which would suit oul
purpose.
Some property within reasonable

Mr.. Lenhart points out that the
