The expert Is making q tour of the
country, looking owe airportS on re-
quests from various cities. He also
gives advice by which the fields may
be improved Of better conform to

AS the local field does not have the
required 160 acres Of space, it will
not be able to obtain q rating of No. l.
Mr.. Mackenzie feels that the city
should find q way to expand the field
from 100 acres to 100. He suggested
that the local field and the army
field at the fort would make an ideal
combination for both city and garri-
son.
City Auditor Atkinson informed him
that the war department Is not en-
tering into such combinations, but
very kindly had allowed the city the
use Of its field under a two-year lease,
pending the growth of sod on the
city's grounds.

A considerable increase in the con-
sumption of gas and smaller increase
In fuel oil consumption in the produc-
ton of electricity by public utility
while there was a slight decrease in
