 niche in the hall of fame by Con- necticut pilots if he is. successful
 in putting through the coming General Assembly in .. Connecticut
 certain aviation bills which he has been preparing ssince adjournment I of the 1898 session. e2
 Pilot Field, who earned hts | wings in Connecticut in 1928 and has more than ,2,000. hours to his 1 credit since that, time, will spon-
 sor a bill calling for reduction
 in the license fee for pilots The Ifee~under the Field bill would be three dollars annually instead of
 five dollars. Explaining his bill Field said that he felt the pilots of planes should be given the same
 .eonsideration today as motorists. The bill would, bring the fee, for a pilots license to the same level as
 a motorist. e,l. l
 Our flying friend who doubtless will be. named house chairman of the aviation committee once again
 because of his good record. in that position in the 1883 general as- sembly reports that he has several
 other bills in mind which he will
 present to aid aviation in the state. One of the. hardest: problems in the lot. Field tells us, is an attempt to prepare a bill to lower the regis tration fees for planes in the state.
 At the present time thye sarel H. censed by factory weight. Other methods have, been discussed, Field
 said, including the suggestion that the planes be licensed on their horse power in the same manner as automo piles. .se
 Although this would. mean a sav-
 ing. to Field as well as to many
 other pilots. the representative said that he will oppose such legis-
 lation on the grounds. that it would
 tend to encourage pilots to license planes with less horsepower. The the extra ten or fifteen horsepower. taken into consideration.
