Looks Over Fields
Barr is making a study of the
new Las Vegas Nevada airport
eight miles north of the city. the
old Western Air Express landing
field and the city's tract southwest
of the city. 1t will be his duty to
decide which of these will have
the beacon nearby. The station
will be erected between three
quartrs of a mile and a mile from
the airport, because of the fact that
there will be two 125 foot towers
between which antenae will be SuS-
pended. This, it is pointed out.

planes make their landings.
The station will cost approx
mateIy $4,000. about $4,000 Of
which will be expended in Las We
gas, according to Barr, who will
be followed by another department
of commerce engineer who will
have charge of the actual con-
Struction work.
The station in Las Vegas will
consist of two units. One unit will
be situated on tract $50 by $50

from the first.
