City Negotiating
For Corner Tract
To Add to Airport

Negotiation for acquisition by the
city Of the SIS acres which forms the
northwest corner Of the Browns
vile airport tract are proceeding
smoothly H. 3. Galbraith, city at
torney, announced Tuesday.
The property, which is needed to
square up the airport, is owned by
Frank z. Matthews Of Kansas City.
1t is located on the highway and
also on the road leading to the adj
ministration building. Requirement
of the tract would give the city a
total of approximately 545 acres.
G. w. Smale of Little Rock, Ark,
a brother-in-law of the owner, was
in the city last week and conferred
with city officials relative to the
transfer. He stated that Mr.
Mathews expected to come to the
Valley in two or three weeks. at
which time it is believed the deal
will be concluded.
Purchase Of this property would
provide the city additional space for
hangers and such extensions of run-
ways as may be deemed necessary.
Its location on both the paved high
way and the graveled road to the
airport makes it a very desirable
piece Of property, city officials said.

Mrs. Griswold suggested the lea

years.
The republican party must hold
a primary next year, under the re-

A study is being made by a group
