agreement was reached for an In
crease In the amount to DC paid BY
the Pan-American.
The city commission objected to
paragraph four because IL would
permit every line to become Affiliate
ed with the Pan-American in some
way and thereby use the field with
out charge This paragraph was
modified TO permit any company III
which the Pan-American had q fl
nancial interest TO use the facilities
of the Pan-American without fur
ther charge.
While free landing Is permitted
at present. the commission foresaw
the time when a charge for landing
might become necessary. Therefore
paragraph five was modified so IL
would be possible to assess a landing
charge later In 1t was found de-
sirable.
Agree On Maintenance
Objection was raised to the re-
quirement that the field be MAIN
tanned at a standard to comply with
a triple "A" rating by the United
States department OF commerce. The
commission believed It possible that
requirements might be made by the
government which would cost so
much as to make IL impossible 10
require the city TO maintain the
port only up to triple "A" stand
ards as set forth by the department
at present.
1T is possible that the cost OF
upkeep or the port would become
SO high as 10 threaten to bankrupt
the CITY," Mayor Cole explained.
1T Is possible the city would have
been compelled to surface the run
ways and this alone would cost from
$4,000 to Sl00. 900. There Is no way
to determine what future develop
ment aviation might make neces-
cary.
. When the city commission real
led how serious the problem of
proper operation OF the airport had
become / proposed the appointment
OF an advisory board. This board
was organized TO include leading
business men of the city. On IL
are John @. Fernandez. John Gregg,
r. b. Creager and Joe Celaya.
Have Temporary Contract
The original contract was sub
mitted to this board after IL had
been named and the members
agreed IL would be unwise for the
city to sign II.
When we failed TO agree on a
permanent contract with the Pan
American this corporation proposed
a temporary arrangement for the
use Of the new hangar at a rental
Of $500 for year. ! opposed
this contract. but when submitted
to the advisory board they agreed
that 1t should be signed and the
city commission by a majority vote
agreed with them.
This temporary contract now is
in force. 1t provides. In addition
TO the rental that the city receive
a profit OF one and a half cents per
gallon Of the first 10000 gallons OF
gasoline used per month and n
profit OF cent per gallon on all
additional gasoline used. The gaSo-
line Is handled by Pan-American
employees.
1T is my desire that a satisfactory
agreement be reached and IL Is my
belief that this will be done. I
realize the Importance of retaining
the Pan-American terminal at the
airport here and protecting this
large investment Of the city and 1t

If BACK OR
KIDNEYS HURT
Begin Taking Salts if You
Feel Backachy or Have :
Bladder Weakness

Too much rich food forms acids
which excite and overwork the kid
neys in their efforts to filter it from
the system. Flush the kidneys oc-
casionally to relieve them like you
relieve the bowels, remove acids,
waste and poison, else you may feel
a dull misery in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, the stomach
sourS, tongue is coated, and when
the weather is bad you have rheu-
matte tWinges.
To help neutralize these irritating
acids and flush off the body's
urinouS waste, begin drinking water.
Also get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy, take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys may then act fine and
bladder disorders disappear.
This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for years to help clean and
stimulate. sluggish kidneys and stop
bladder irritation. Jad Salts is in
expensive and makes a delightful eff
fervescent Whitewater drink which
millions of men and women take
now and then to help prevent
serious kidney and bladder dis
orders. BY all means, drink lots of
good water every day.-Advertise-

BILL ON BARRETT LAW
Prepayment without Interest on
Bonds Proposed.

Prepayment without Interest on
Bonds Proposed.
Prepayment of Barrett law as
sessments at any interest-bearing
time without payment of the inter-
est for the entire period of the
Barrett fund bonds is planned in a
bill being prepared by Representa-
tive John L. Benedict of Indianap-
oils.
A law requiring that proponents
include the interest on the bonds
until maturity was passed by the
1927 legislature. Prior to this bill
the prepayment could be made after
giving six months notice and the
payment of interest up to the time
of prepayment.
Much opposition to the 1927 law
has been voiced by persons making
prepaymentS who feel that they
should not be required to pay the
entire interest charges.
