Peace River Block from st. John to Hudson Hope, from

In 1880, the new Ford won the winter race arranged

Change of routing Of mail planes on
the Pitcairn Aviation airmail line from
New York to Miami, passing through
this city, may follow the completion
next month Of a hangar and shops at
Atlanta, Ga, 1t was announced here
last week.
When the shops are completed many
of the facilities Of the Richmond sta
ton, now one of the terminal points on
the line, will be transferred TO Atlanta
The engine overhaul shop, parachute
service, supply base and purchasing or
ganization, and also q majority of the
operations accounting probably will ne
concentrated in Atlanta.
Plans are also being made for the
complete overhaul of mail planes there,
including repairs on fuselages and wings
and for recovering.
1t Is probable that when the addi-
tional facilities are installed In Atlanta.
P1tacirn officials said, mail planes will
ny all the way from New York to AT
lanta, changing pilots only instead of
pilots and planes, at Richmond. They
also may fly from Atlanta directly to
Miami. changing pilots at Jacksonville
and Daytona Beach.
With the opportunities afforded b.
the more complete shop equipment for
complete checking over, it viii be pos
s1ble to operate the planes all the way
between New York and Atlanta and
between Miami and Atlanta without
splitting the route into four operating
divisions, 1t Is believed.
