kiosk came into being and at that time
perhaps, the kiosks did have a more
important place, irregular though they
might have been, than they have today
There was no radio; data gathered by
the Weather Bureau was not SO easily
compiled-and by no means was it dis
Seminated so efficiently and expedi-
tiouSly as at present through bulletins
wire services and the daily newspapers
With the passing of a couple oi
decades, the kioSks began to show their

past experience, it didn't take DIR
Charles F. Marvin, chief of the Weather

Even the most ardent -kioskers
would not cavil at his decision after
listening to the indictment of the kiosks

counts
On a still warm day the cast iror

source Of some pretty severe" protests

Furthermore. kiosks are supposed te
record rainfall, but in the case of the
local specimen, nearby trees and build

Then there was the burden of main

had to visit the kiosk daily to see how
1t was getting along.
And then as has been said, the
economy wave began to be felt, some.
thing the Government was not worried
with when it started distributing these
evidences of its beneficences over the
country.
So few days ago the thermograph

the rainfall, but didn't. were taken Il

vacant shell on the corner There i

that consideration first be given the

The location of the airport at

VIEWS ON AIRPORT
CHANGES SOUGHT
Strong Sentiment Reported
for Development of
GraveiIy Point.

Views of Army and Navy aviation
leaders on the Capitals airport prob
lelns were sought by the Senate Dis
tflct committee as it resumed hearings
today on two bills by Senator Bingham
providing alternative plans for a Dis
triet airport
Among the witnesses listed are.
Irubee Dawson. Assistant Secretary Of
War for Aviation. Rear Admiral will
nam A. Moffett, chief Of the Navy Bu-
reau OF Aeronautics; Capt. A. c. Read
assistant chlef OF the bureau. and Clar-
ence A. Miller, chairman of the S1lb-
committee on Airports of the Aviation
Committee Of the Washington Board
of Trade.
Although the Bingham bills. which
were the basis for the hearings begun
yesterday did not mention any local
airport site other than that now oecu-
pied by Washington Hoover Airport the
witnesses were not SO reticent, and be-
lore the committee adjourned it devel-
oped strong sentiment in favor of the
development of the Grayelly Point site.
1000 feet below Washington Hoover
Airport. as the area for the permanent
District airport.
Suggests Development.
Col. U. s. Grant, Sd, in charge of
buildings and parks, closed yesterdays
hearing by suggesting to the committee
that Washington Hoover Airport be de-
veloped to meet the present needs of
the Capital. but that authorization be
granted foE the filling of the Gravelly
Point area. If this filling is carried on
at normal rate, he said, it probably
could be done at a profit to the Gov
ernment. He pointed out the fill now
IN progress at Washington Hoover Air
port has yielded profit to the airport
owners, who charge for dumping rights.
and intimated the same plan might be
extended to Gravelly Point.
This plan not only would give the
Capital a splendid airport in the future,
at relatively low cost, but also would
provide very good one in the mean
time" he said.
Would Delay Decision.
He declared the question of the ulti-
mate utilization of the Washington
Hoover area need not be determined at
present, but that decision be delayed
until the Gravelly Point area is avail
able and there is some more certain
indication Of aviation trends.
He gested it might be found adj
y
Washington Hoover Airport for sched-
uled air transport operations exclusively.
because of its proximity to the city and
that the Gravelly Point area be utilized
for miscellaneous flying operations, such
as private flying, AVIATION meets, stu
cent instruction. repair and servicing.
seapiane operations and miscellaneous
commercial and private operations.
Washington Hoover Airport, now too
small for safe transport operations as
heavy as it is forced to handle, could
be made relatively safe at almost no
expense. the committee was told by
A. Pendleton Taliaferro, chief of the
airports section, Department of Com
merce. Although complete development
OF the area would cost s3.556 900, ac-
cording to Government estimates. Mr..
Taliaferro expressed the belief that by
nothing more than closing and grad
ing of Military road, it would be possi-
bic ito improve very greatly the safety
of the field
