Selects Another
Site For Airport

Convinced that the price asked for
the site first considered for munich
pal airport was too h yh, another site
has finally been decid d upon by city
officials and others IL 5erested in pro-
viding an airport for Libby. The new
site lies across the county highway
from the city park, u ng between the
Lamey, Hamilton and Blackboard prop
critics. 1t is said to he better site
than the first one considered.
According to DR. A. <. Ostroot of
the city council, who was asked to
act as chairman of an airport COM
Hittee, the members Of the council
are in favor of obtaining an airport
site at this time and making suffi-
Gent improvements so that planes can
arrive and depart from the field. The
ultimate development Of the port
could be finished at some later date.
LATER--As The Western News
goes to press H. H. II. Clark of the
Montana Development and Air Trans
port company, announces that the
company has today closed deal for
the purchase of the airport site, and
will cooperate with the commercial
club in developing it.

Commercial
Club viii Hold
Meet Tonight
Dinner To Be Served at $50
Followed by Business
Session.
IMPORTANT TOPICS
TO BE DISCUSSED

The members of the Libby CONNER
cial club will gather tonight at a gen.
eral meeting, the first that has been
held for several weeks. Dinner will
be served at $50 in Masonic hall.
followed by a business session.
A number of matters of more than
usual importance will be considered at
this meeting. Libby is vitality inter-
ested in highway development
throughout this district and reports
will be made on recent developments
in the road situation. 1t is the unani-
nous desire of everyone that high
way work in the Kootenai canyon be
continued without cessation until the
more dangerous places, at least, are
made safe. Whether it will be pos
slble to obtain further appropriations
at this time for this much needed
work is not certain, but efforts will
be made to have the kootenai can
yon improvement put on a continuing
basis, if possible.
The matter of obtaining suitable
airport for Libby will also occupy
the attention of club members. AS
this paper has announced heretofore,
the montana development and AIR
Transport company Is ready to inau-
gurate an air line throughout west
ern Montana, with Libby as head
quarters. Negotiations have been
opened for the purchase of a site
but the price asked is considered ex-
cessive. There are other angles to
the situation that need considering
and the entire question will be gone
into tonight.
Several weeks ago the board of
directors of the Commercial club
took steps to request the proper au-
thorities at Washington for federal
received from Senator Walsh in re-
gard to the matter. This question of
q federal building-of interest to the
entire city--will also be one Of the
matters to engage the. attention. of
Libby men at the meeting tonight.
