Surfacing Of the runway system and
construction of 4 10000 administra-
ton and terminal building will be
completed before next spring, 1t was
announced by Z. w. Robertson, air
port manager.
Facilities for Large Planes.
I'VE expect to provide facilities for
the large four -engine air transport
planes now under test for AIRLINE
operation before the end Of the year" !"
Mr.. Robertson explained. There now
are no facilities for such planes in or
near Washington, and it obviously will
be impossible for Congress to provide
an airport capable of handling this
trafnc for . number Of years"
Temporary surfacing Of the runways
will begin In . few days, depending
on the weather. Approximately 250,-
900 square yards Of runway surface
will be treated with . primary oil
coating within the next 30 days to
hold the graded surface during the
winter.
Between $4,000 and 100000 square
yards additional will be surfaced with
macadam to handle present opera
tions ut the airport. The oil portion,
constituting . major part Of the ulti-
mate runways layout, will be allowed
to settle during the winter in prepa-
ration for final hard surfacing early
next spring.
Mr.. Robertson, who stated he Is not
ready to announce details Of the
financing plan for the new airport.
Evening star., 1938-07-05

said the existing contract for prepara-
ton of the field itself totals nearly
$200, 900. An additional contract for
construction Of the administration and
terminal building probably will be
awarded early in the fall. he said.
The Virginia Public Service Corp.
today completed removal of three
quarters Of a mile Of overhead tele-
phone lines along the old U. 8. No.
highway. which forms the eastern
boundary Of the airport. This elimi-
mates the only obstruction to land
ing and take-off In the vicinity. Mr..
Robertson said. except for . few
trees which will be removed before the
runway program Is completed.
As q. part Of the runway construc-
ton program the contractor has In
stalled approximately 1000 feet Of con-
crete pipe drainage. Very little grad
ing will be required, the entire area
being level within q grade limit Of
per cent. Commerce Department regu-
lations allow q maximum Of 2 per cent
grade on the highest type transport
ar terminal.
Nine Surfaced Runways.
The new airport Is part Of . level
area of square miles and the run
ways can be extended from . distance
Of IA to miles beyond the end Of
the present 5.000-foot runway, accord
ing to Mr.. Robertson. The plans call
for . central hard-surface area ap-
proximately 1000 feet in diameter.
from which nine surfaced runways will
extend in various directions
Hybla Valley was inspected twice
by DR.. Hugo Eckener as . possible
American terminal for trans-Atlantic

acteri1ed the site as "one Of the best"
