Promoters to Organize Corpo- ration.-John Larned Farm
 the Site
Will Bring Putnam in Line With Other Progressive Cities

The Patriot has learned on un- questionable authority that there is a movement on foot which will result in Putnam having an airport in the near future. Those immediately in- terested in the project are Whitman Danielson and $. Nikolof of Putnam and Mrs. F. W. Goodridge of Pom fret.
 The John Larned farm near the Gary District will become & landing field for the Putnam Airport, as 1t will be known. A corporation is to be formed with a capital of S5,000 and it Is expected that the final ar arrangements for the transfer of the property will be made within a week.
 There has been some talk of a municipal airport for Putnam but no progress has been made in this di- rection. Governor Trumbull, the state chamber of commerce. and all organizations engaged in civic pro gress, are urging cities to establish airports as this field of transporta- ton for both passengers and mer- chandise is ever widening and will be used more and more as the people become increasingly fair minded"
 The number of airplanes flying over Putnam is increasing every year The promoters of the new corporation feel confident that modern airport established in this section, on the di. rect line between New York. and Bos. ton. will find ready patronage. With an airport here Putnam will take it's place among the more progressive cities in New Engand
