The Great Falls airport, developed
through cooperation of the city, coun-

tional attention recently IN an article
published In The American City, New
York city publication and probably the
best known and most widely circulated
magazine on municipal problems.
The article is entitled Airport for
Small City" and has the subtitle,
Great Falls establishes a new airport
with maximum runway Of 6,040 feet"
The article provides information on
development Of the airport, financial
contributions Of the federal agencies,
facilities Of the port. revenues derived

building, hangar and an aerial view of
the field, with landing runways super
imposed, illustrate the article.
With an airport that is natural"
and an inland location, such as Is
desired for army air corps expansion
purposes, there Is no reason why Great
Falls should not participate IN the
benefits from the expansion program
and have base established there, it
was emphasized by Jimmy Morrison of
Louisiana, candidate for governor OF
that state at the last election, and q
recent visitor In Great Falls.
