 Met By Bronson

 Colonel Chamberlain said he wanted to inspect the site here and detcrmine whether Waterbury was air-minded enough to support the establishment of a regular port on the line between Boston and New York.
 He expects to start the express service from Boston to New York later in the fall and the passenger service in the spring. It will take about 40 minutes, he estimated, for a tip between Waterbury and New York. The fair will not be greater, he surmised, than the regular train fare from here to New York.

Tobe Held, stated to the Democrat repre- sentative that negotiations are u1- derway for a loan from the govern lnent to complete the field into regular airport. He said about $65,- 900 or $70,000 was needed to place the field in better shape, to take away the large sand-bank at the north side of the field, to establish a large parking place and to erect . hangar.
